Not there because it was his weekend visit. You can find the amazing support and find out how wel mother and baby are doing on Facebook if you want to apologize for thinking she was a bad mother.

@candy nicole-Why are you concered about the mom? A baby almost died because her father SHOOK HER. Mom could have been at work or buying groceries... anything. Dad was watching his daughter and lost his temper with an innocent child who then needed brain surgery. Its ignorant people like you who make me want to scream!

Yes it's all on her prayers for Cheyenne Rae page go read it since your so quick to judge the mom. It was the fathers weekend to have her and she was in perfect health when she let him have her and just moments later gets a call her baby can't breathe and is being air lifted to the hospital and is in need of brain surgery. That sorry SOB I hope gets life in prison for what he has done to this child.
