Sandra Cantu Shocker
Believe it or not the recent news of a woman, neighbor, friend and Sunday school teacher being arrested for the death of Sandra Cantu is a shock. What else can we expect?
I have been deflated mentally, emotionally and spiritually since the news that Sandra Cantu’s body had been found. As a father of several girls her age it really hits home especially when one becomes emotionally invested in hope for the safe return of the child.
I didn’t want to talk about, write about or even think about the terrible results that had unfolded over the past week. Then, I awoke one morning to be greeted with the news that a local neighbor, a woman and mother of a 5 year old friend had been arrested for the murder.
What? I have to admit as a person that has studied human behavior for decades and even profiled personalities my mind was almost fixed on the fact that the crime must have been committed by a man, a sexual predator of 25 to 50 years of age.
I can’t even conceive why this lady would commit such a crime. It’s so out of character and human behavioral pattern that I am waiting to hear this story.
Was it anger? Perhaps an accident she tried to cover up? Or was there something more sinister lurking in her thoughts and patterns? Something that I need to become aware of and file away in my knowledge of human thought, motivation and decision.
I don’t believe it was planned. The use of her personal luggage points that way unless she simply wasn’t aware of or thinking about being traced back to the suitcase.
This one is interesting because it opens up an entirely new can of worms. It potentially provides another profile that might exist for whatever reason that threatens our children as they go about the day innocently playing with friends.
Still it was another beautiful child lost. However, the impact on my life has not been in vain. Now, I notice my children more, watch them closer as they traverse the lawns of the neighborhood and hug them a little tighter at night.
Do you?

I think very strongely if this monster killed this child she should die as well. Please stop slapping killers in the hand kill them. We don’t need them in our world and we damn sure don’t need to support them in our prison’s enough is enough American. If a child is killed or abused then the abuser or killer should die too.

Please, let’s not focus on the killer as “the poor woman” a victim of poor
surroundings, that blog is disgusting. This woman deserves the death
penalty. and nothing less. As a Grandmother of three girls, that little
victims face and smile, weighs heavily on my heart. To see her so happy
swinging her arms, not knowing the face of a evil, perverted monster, was
in wait for her. What about huckbees daughter?? have they tested her?
for any signs of abuse?? I felt no sympathy, seeing the monster on TV sobbing,… only for herself and getting caught, Kill this Woman !!! if she
indeed did this violent crime, aganist a innocent with no means of defending herself, Even in the animal kingdom, one mother will , nuture
another female child., she is lower, then any animal R
