Incredibly sad that Mengqi's parent's suffered the brutal loss of their only child and then also the loss of an opportunity to create a meaningful relationship with their only grandchild. Instead their grand-daughter is being raised by the family of the man who murdered their daughter, lied about it and then sat in court trying to smear her character and his mother who tried to minimise his crime by stating that it was 'out of character' for him?!? Who makes that decision? I don't understand.

He left bruises on his babies' bottom by pinching the baby when they were crying? How's that supposed to help? It's just petty and cruel. So sad that this woman was probably recording her husband to use if he filed for divorce and it ended up being used as evidence in her murder case.
