80. China Arnold: Infanticide of Paris Talley by Microwave

Reverie True Crime

China Arnold is proof that just because you give birth, it doesn’t always make you a mother. She had given birth just recently to 28-day old, Paris Talley. China and Paris’ father, Terrell Talley, got into a crazy, drunken argument at the park. When they got home, Terrell went to a friend’s place and for some stupid, horrible reason, later that night…China decided to take the life of this sweet, precious baby girl. The motive isn’t clear. There are two possible motives. None of which are acceptable, of course. This story is a really sad one. 🙏🏻 Rest in Paradise, Paris.
Even though this episode is not about a babysitter hurting a child, it made me think about it and I wanted to include some resources for that.
