| Kayla McKean was murdered by her father, Richard Adams, on November 28, 1998, supposedly for soiling her underpamts. He beat poor little Kayla so badly that her liver was split into 3 pieces, her skull was fractured, 4 ribs were broken, a lung was punctured and her back and buttocks bled internally, saturating her muscles with blood. He then buried her tiny beaten body in a shallow grave not far from there home. Investigators looking further into her life saw that it was not a pleasent one. She had no bed, and slept on the floor. Her father often beat her with a 2-by-4 paddle with blonde hair. Authorities say her last days on Earth were "anything but pleasent" People were horrified when they heard the story of the little girl who fell through the cracks. In the weeks preceding her death, she had been in the ER with bruises, stitches, ect. Investigators for the Child Services put her in a safe foster home for a night, before returning her to the hell hole where she lived. 5 different investigators were assigned to her case at 5 seperate time, resulting in missing reports, and unfilled gaps, which inevidably lead to her being kept in harm's way. Some one remarked that perhaps one good thing, The Kayla McKean Child Protection Act, came from her death. The act toughens child protection standards and punishment for not reporting abuse. |
