    The death penalty is reserved for the worst of the worst. He has video and photos of himself abusing her for years. Then he killed her. Then he lied and misled the police. That is a straight forward death penalty case. No need to discuss anything.

    Charge the mom!! She lied in interviews and she was so negligent. This abuse was going on for years. She was entirely native. She never once told her daughter to talk to her no matter what explain that stuff he was doing is wrong. I mean that’s just basic parenting if you’re a guy you’re not married to around her child she needs to be thrown under the jail as well.!!!

I had to get out of a dv situation, and I got my kids out 1st, I gave them to my parents whilst I planned my getaway. I’m sorry, no excuse, Mum must of known something, and could have & should have spoken up. Maddie was failed here by her own flesh & blood.

Whether that's true or not, there's no way in hell that this has been going on all these years and the MOTHER didn't have a single clue!! I cannot wait to see her mug shot! This is horrible, disgusting, grotesque, and just so sad... and there's absolutely no way I'll ever believe Jennifer Soto is innocent.

    Heavenly Father,
    In the quiet moments of this day, we come before You with heavy hearts, mourning the tragic loss of young Madeline Soto. We are devastated by the circumstances of her passing, and we seek Your comfort and peace in this time of profound sorrow.
    Lord, we lift up Madeline, a precious child taken far too soon. We trust that she is now cradled in Your eternal embrace, safe from harm and shielded by Your boundless love. May her soul find rest in the sanctuary of Your presence, and may her family find solace in knowing that she is forever protected by You.
    We pray fervently for Madeline’s mother. God, envelop her in Your compassion and strength. Amidst the swirling tempest of grief and shock, hold her close to Your heart. Grant her the courage to face the days ahead and the wisdom to seek the support she needs to navigate this unimaginable loss. Touch her spirit with Your healing hands, and guide her through each moment with Your steadfast love.
    For Madeline’s father, we ask for a comforting hand to rest upon his shoulder. Surround him with Your love, that he might feel Your presence as a tangible source of comfort and strength. In his darkest hours, light his path with hope, and grant him the endurance to carry the weight of his sorrow.
    To all who loved Madeline, her family, friends, and community, bestow upon them a unity of spirit and a bond of peace. In their collective mourning, may they find the courage to support one another and the grace to share their burden of grief. Help them to cherish their memories of Madeline, to celebrate her life, and to honor her legacy by spreading kindness and compassion in her name.
    Lord, we pray for justice and truth to prevail. Comfort those who seek answers and those who administer justice, that they may act with wisdom and integrity.
    In Your Holy Name, we pray,
    Amen 🙏
