Robert Englert said Friday his daughter has a learning disability and has only recently begun to understand what she has done...

Alicia Englert's cousin, Vania Schmidt, said the extended family has been devastated. "She knew she could reach out to any one of us, we would have taken her in, gotten her to a doctor, gotten her help," she said.

Schmidt said Alicia Englert was partially raised by her aunt. As a child, she took an unusually long time to begin talking, Schmidt recalled, and while playing with other children, she would sometimes bite or scratch for no apparent reason.

This is just unbelievable. She wants a "goodbye" visit. This is the same baby she left on a floor somewhere right after birth for 24 hours + and threw away and now she wants to visit her. Oh hell to the no! If those people give her the right to do that...they are crazy
