History of abuse uncovered in starvation death of 12-year-old Malinda Hoagland 

Cindy Warren should have remained in prison. She should have NEVER been allowed to be around a child. The dad is a coward and bully.

I always notice in homes of ABUSE by starving, the rest of the people in the home are all fat!!!! They must eat constantly while denying any food to the abused. I hope they go to jail for life! They shouldn't have even been allowed to have any child in their custody aftrr the previous charges. SMH

The step mother should have been In prison from killing the 3yr old!!

Life in prison for these two monsters, please.

So this wicked woman had a hand in killing 3 children ? This is crazy. Why was she allowed to be around children at all

Look at those cows Almost always the "parents" are overweight. So damn sad

Another innocent child failed. May justice be served.

IF the system failed her? IF!? The question should be WHY did the system fail yet another child? Because these stories span far too wide and are far too frequent....and they COULD have been saved. A total reform of child & family services is needed countrywide in the US & Canada. Worldwide actually

What a poor excuse of a father !!!

The dad had to be abusive to let that woman do that to his child

Why didn’t one of the sisters call the cops,when they found out about that woman’s evil background.I feel very sorry for Malinda’s mom.

This poor girl finally escaped the torture and prison of her captors. Rest in peace sweet angel 👼🏻 There were no real parents in that home. Malinda had abusers pretending to be parents who tortured her endlessly and needlessly. The father ALLOWED the abuse. Don’t have children unless you plan to love and cherish them. The cycle of child abuse can be broken in ONE generation. DO NOT LET CINDY WARREN OUT. AS DEMONSTRATED SHE WILL ABUSE AND TORTURE AGAIN. DO NOT LET THAT THING POSING AS A FATHER OUT EITHER.

Fatsos who starved and tortured a cute child... unforgivable! Disgusting! I hope they get prison justice grrr 😣😖🤬🤬🤬🤬 RIP baby girl 💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is heartbreaking. How do two monsters find each other to torture I child like this!!!? There’s too many of these stories lately and I honestly don’t get it. How can you starve and abuse your own child!? This poor baby RIP 🕊️

Oh my goodness the horror she endured! Makes me sick ❤ why????

The father is just as guilty for allowing it to happen He was in the house and didn't stop the abuse and torture of his daughter

The public is numb ... THIS thing, this insidious child-abuse is increasingly becoming so commonplace in America. The perpetrators are completely remorseless - they just don't care about consequences. Isn't this how the devil wins?

I seriously just don’t understand 🤦🏻‍♀️ wtf is wrong with people 🤬🤬🤬

The court and CPS failed again

IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THESE TWO HAVEN'T MISSED A MEAL.

Nobody stands up for these abused children !!!

Monsters do EXIST. Prayers for Malinda. May she be secure and healed in Jesus’s arms. This is so horrific.

I wonder if that poor little baby that died years prior was murdered by her mom, and that dad is innocent.

How was this Cindy Warren woman able to be anywhere near children after the abuse of her son and stepdaughter's death? Yes I'd say the justice system failed Melinda miserably. Warren should have been on a lifetime prohibition and restricted from being near anyone under 21 years old.

Everybody failed the child terribly especially her dad who helped abused and starved her to death but social services. Shame on her dad

Look how big both are. They were eating well. Heartbreaking 💔.

I don't know why her "half sisters" are suddenly so active and outspoken about her death, but they are adult women and next of kin..if they believed and cared so much about her, then why didn't they say as much as they are now BEFORE she was dead? Why didn't they have all two tons of them go into that house and take that little girl from her abusers? Now they wanna sue CPS for failing to protect her. Well they didn't protect her either. They shouldn't come out of the woodwork as grown women and gain monetarily for a death that they could of immediately prevented...I would of been raising hell outside of that house until cops came and someone listened to me...they didn't have a relationship with her and they didn't do anything to help her. I'm sick of the fakeness

Lowest of the low, devils.

Step mom ate all the food for herself

We can see who ate all the food.....poor baby r.i.p.....😢 Put these horrible monsters under the jail

How can you not believe in the death penalty? The school and her friends reported this to the proper authorities. The dad pulled her out of school . No one did anything. May justice be served in prison for them both .

The excuse given by the sisters for not checking on the child - that they didn't like the girlfriend - is a crock. It was even more reason to check on her.

Family court is a joke, giving kids to men with pitbull step mothers

This is exactly what happened to Mercedes in San Antonio Texas

How on earth can someone be so cruel??

Sickening!

Looks like no in this family missed a meal, except for little Melinda.

The system always failing the children I don’t know why they have these children if they don’t want them It’s so evil 😈

Life in prison. Better yet, under the prison

Just sickening and these monsters sleep all night? Just evil

why was this woman in contact with children? How is this even possible? no justice, thats why, no one doing their jobs, everyone cares only after drama happens

Looks like they DIDNT MISS A MEAL!!

There are tons of questions and sorry to say this child, isn't the only one ! my heart breaks !! Rest in Peace Malinda

Justice please 🙏

They should of done a welfare check by CPS!!! Show up unexpectedly with an officer to see her!!! She was failed by all who were supposed to provide protect and love her,!!! See something say something!!

So that's it? They just abandoned their little sister? Unbelievable.

Who made the videos? Terrible treatment of this poor child.

I feel.so bad for her mother, physically unable to care for herself or her daughter due to multiple sclerosis. How much more is she suffering now.

They always go after single mothers with men in their lives yet single fathers who have a new GF or new wives do this just as much.

💔💔💔🙏🏻🙏🏻😡😡😡😡😡😡 KEEP OUR KIDS SAFE CPS, Should be tried for this and BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE ALSO🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡

She only served 3 years for killing her own child in the past?? What???

My goodness ,prayers that lady gets justice

very tragic and sad...I don’t know how this could have been prevented. if she wasn’t going to school and she was trapped in that house and never saw anyone but those 2..even if she did and no one was concerned there is no way to have prevented it. poor girl. may she rest in peace.

What is going on, all over this country, with parents torturing and/or murdering their children.

Starvation death of an innocent, helpless child perpetrated by two overweight adults! 🤬

Life for these awful people!

Don’t these people ever refuse a second helping

Back door plea deals n bulls^%t.. Why were those charges dropped against the mother??..she had a hand in her children's abuse along with that monster of a father.. playing board games with people's lives. She shouldnt have had custody in the first place. Children are now DEAD😡😡😡😠😡😡.

Both this two looser need to be in prison for the rest of their despicable life. They showed total lack of morals value and total depravity. She was in prison before for a child abused and for killing a 3 years old little angel.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!This story made me cries. Fly with the Angels Malinda. I will never forget you dear child.

Instead of pushing for new laws, why can't anyone ENFORCE the existing laws, complete with the requisite consequences??? This is going to continue until we start ENFORCING the law! Stop being so against the law and start enforcing it! Take the blinders off! Just because you get "triggered" doesn't mean change everything! Damn it, stop being so shallow and start looking at the bigger picture! The existing laws were put there for a reason and no, not just to "trigger" someone! What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong! Get over it! And stop blaming others! The "law" is now ultra concerned with "triggering" people, that they can't adequately enforce the law for fear of "triggering" someone! That woman, Cindy Warren, knew just how to get around things and look what happened! If you see something, say something! And if the "law" hadn't been so worried about "triggering" people, they would have clearly seen the glaring red flags sooner!

When children like this see other people they love they do often seem happy and content. That's because they are happy and content - with you!

These kind of "people" should be convicted to the full extent of the law. Enough is Enough!

Someone could have and should have stopped this long before she died people knew or suspected abuse but no one ever tried to help her nobody or she'd still be alive

"ASKING....If they missed any warning signs? Are you kidding me? To have the nerve to even ask those words are disgustingly obvious.

Prayers and condolences

My heart breaks to hear this! I guess she didn’t go to school? How could the father subject this poor little girl. Cindy looks like she hasn’t missed a meal. Just sick.

There's no need for better laws to stop this. Just better enforcement of the laws that exist already. That child was not supposed to be alone with that woman, let alone living with her!!!

She testified against her husband in 2007 and now she’s going back to prison for the abuse and death of another child… Those inmates are going to love Cindy… By the way, no red flags were “missed” that pathetic excuse for a man knew about Cindy’s history and just didn’t care.

What? Cindy was let loose to continue to commit more horrific crimes against yet another *child* ??? Laws need to be stronger when it comes to crimes against innocent children ..

Omg! I can’t listen to anymore. 🥺🤬😢😭😡

Recording for their future ENJOYMENT.

Evil just plain evil

R.I.P. Melinda... 😔

Malinda😪

I wish the older sisters had been able to help more, so sad

Wow this is so devastating 💔💔💔💔💔

What's the point of having CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. If they are too damn LAZY to DO THEIR JOB AND PROTECT CHILDREN!!!

She should have never been allowed around any children

Why?? Why was that beautiful little girl the target of their heinous abuse? A bearded dragon and a "father" that was sent here from the depths of the demonic underworld. Together they fed off of each other's sickness. And yes, I agree with what the majority of commenters are saying on here about those two having too much food in their bellies. This is just beyond shocking. Everyday we are hearing about more precious wee ones that are enduring so much before they are so broken that they just expire. Fly high sweet beautiful angel. 🙏🏻 💔

The system let this child down and the three old boy. Three years for k*liking a three year old child.🙏🏼🧡🧡 Justice For The Children of Abuse

Beautiful little girl. RIP Melinda

Hi what a butiful child, what cold hearted people, hurt my heart what she went through.

Sad, so sad.

Her older sisters did their best. I hope they grieve but NOT blame themselves in any form.

Prison Justice Awaits

6:20 who gives a f about yall father?!!! R I P beautiful Angel … this is horrible

apparently they werent missing any meals!! 😡 rip poor girl 💔

How sad 😔

This lady should’ve never been out of jail, pure evil for sure!

Prayers for this baby❤❤😢😢😢no reason for this!

School staff didn't notice a 50 pound 12 year old???

AN EYE FOR AN EYE

death penalty..or prison justice

Why? Why? Why? I just do not understand & even with a reason that they think is valid, I would never understand. It is just Evil to treat a child or anyone else like this.

The red flags weren't Red enough apparently. Yeah all the details were ignored before costing this child heavily. So sorry for the treatment this child received. Pathetic evil monsters. 😠

I wouldn't treat an animal like that. Who can do such things to a child ? There have to be changes made where people have the power to demand action immediately when finding a child in danger. Children's safety must be the top priority in this world and it's sad that someone has to say that. It should be common sense. Trust is learned in the first year. Be there for your baby whenever they cry. It's your job to make things right for them. Comfort and love, that's what really matters, not perfection, nor cleaning can ever compare. Children are the most important thing in the world. Animal welfare follows next in line. How we treat others matters, sometimes for a lifetime.

FFS. That house n trucks look pretty fancy too. Money yet starved a child?

Sisters did nothing to help her. Not very loving in my opinion!

The system FAILS more than it WINS

This case is despicable. Shocks the conscience. The child protective services record need to be carefully reviewed. Something doesn't add up. The abuse is too obvious, the evidence easily available...
