Mothers From Hell: Andrea Hagler charged with killing her 8-year-old daughter, Amaria Osby, on her birthday, by smothering her with a plastic bag on her head, as she screamed, “Momma, stop”

Posted on May 29, 2022 by mylifeofcrime

Amaria Osby

This has hit me really bad. When I close my eyes I can hear this beautiful little girl screaming and then nothing. But then I read the other put another bag on herself and tried to suffocate herself. There must be some kind of mental illness issues here and I really hope she gets help while she is incarcerated. She has admitted what she did, so she does need to pay for her actions, because this child is not coming back. I hope her remorse is real.
