A Florida woman is facing a murder charge after, authorities say, she punished her 9-year-old cousin by sitting on her, causing the child to go into cardiac arrest.

Veronica Posey, 64, told investigators that her cousin, Dericka Lindsay, had been misbehaving, so she decided to sit on top of the child as punishment. Minutes later, Dericka said she couldn’t breathe. She was unconscious by the time Posey stood up, according to an arrest report from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

Some children really are doomed from birth.

Devolution - cultural devolution - seems to be happening more often.

All I need is a very strong, thick rope. The kind that ships use to tie up at a dock.

Must be the name. Two different women, both named Veronica Posey, and both from Florida:

325-pound Florida woman charged with killing girl by sitting on her as punishment

Sarasota woman arrested for 30th time

Any article that starts out with “A Florida man/woman...” does not end well for someone.

In the interest of science, find out how long this creature can live on its own stored body fat.

That and the age difference between mother and daughter makes me think the child was possibly adopted.

“Some children really are doomed from birth.”

And sadly, a large percentage of them are Black! Thanks to the DemoRATs. The RATs cynical “help” of Black people is at the root of the problem. Also I suspect being abjectly stupid as adults doesn’t help either. It is inhuman to do what this woman did, and unfortunately, the “great society” will now pay to keep her in jail hopefully for the rest of her life.

Mathematically possible but very unlikely.

Most likely either second cousins or first cousins once removed, i.e., the victim was the child of her first cousin.

“That and the age difference between mother and daughter makes me think the child was possibly adopted.”

From the TV video, that’s true. The open question is was this a straight adoption, or did these cretins take the offspring of one of their original children? There are no words to adequately describe my hatred for this woman. Animals have more “morals and smarts” than she does.
