Such a pitifully short sentence for what she did to this poor child.A 30-year-old Minnesota mother will spend nearly two decades in jail for brutally beating her 2-year-old daughter to death last year, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show. District Court Judge Leonardo Castro on Thursday handed down a sentence of 18 years in state prison to Ciashia Lee for the murder of young Melody Vang.
Again another pitiful sentence for a person who is just as guilty as the woman who murdered Melody,John Vang, 43, was sentenced this week to 240 days in the Ramsey County workhouse and three years of supervised probation.
Why they are protecting his identity is confusing, he was a party to his daughter's death?Upon arriving at the scene, police initially encountered the girl’s father, identified in court documents as “JV,” who immediately “asked officers to keep it down as his 2-year-old daughter was not alive.”
“When asked where his daughter was, JV said he didn’t want his other children to see the girl so he and his wife wrapped the girl’s body in a blanket, and he took her body to the back porch so it wouldn’t smell,” the affidavit states.
Officers went to the back where they found Lee and Melody’s wrapped body. Asked what happened, Lee allegedly told police that she “lost her tempter” because the toddler kept crying and waking her other child.
I think this idiot thought nothing was going to happen to him or his bitch because Melody cried and that warranted her being murdered.
Guess what asshole you did not have to take her back but those benefits she would bring into your home was more important than actually loving and taking care of her.JV allegedly told police that the his daughter got “spoiled” in foster care and regularly acted out. He added that Lee typically disciplined the child by hitting her “with an open hand” or locking her in the hallway closet, and said he’d recently seen Lee beat her with a stick that was “two feet long and half an inch thick.”
Your wife shitting out babies left right and center does not mean you have to neglect and abuse the children you already have.
Actually you are the bitch and too bad nobody killed you Ciashia. You opening your legs and shitting out kids does not make you a victim of the system it just makes you a pathetic breeder.Lee later admitted to causing all of the severe bruising on the young victim’s body, some of which were inflicted before the fatal beating.
“She said she lost her temper. Lee said the girl is stubborn just like her. When asked if the girl triggered her anger, Lee said she was just mad at the world. Lee said she’s a victim of the system and does not trust anyone,” the affidavit states. “When further asked what about the girl triggered her anger, Lee said the girl was ‘a little bitch’ several times.”
