Description

Police say a party-loving mother hid a horrifying reality, allegedly starving her 7-year-old daughter in a closet while another child, Ava Gonzales, vanished years earlier. Investigators now believe Ava was killed by her mother in early 2018, based on conflicting stories and a chilling account from her brother, as authorities expand the case into a possible capital murder investigation. As Virginia Gonzales awaits trial on child abuse charges, prosecutors are seeking new evidence tied to Ava’s disappearance, while her attorney calls the timing suspicious and vows to fight the allegations.

Why is it that the parents who starve their kids are usually vastly overweight?

These are the type of women who spend their whole lives chasing men and neglecting their children. I also had a narcissistic mother.

Strange how a mother of 8 can afford, hair dyes, manicured nails, nice clothes, liquor and yacht rides, isn't it?

Abusive parents should not be allowed to have more kids. There should be laws to enforce this.
