Warshaw said Tierra was found by a group of school-age children secured in a car seat and “partially submerged in a stream on or near the property of Shark River Park” in Wall. An autopsy on the girl is scheduled for today.

The notification to Benton was a little more than 24 hours since she had met Morgan at a Dollar General store to let him take Tierra for the rest of the day Monday, which was allowed by a court order, said Tierra’s grandmother, Michelle Simmons of Lakehurst. It was Morgan’s first visit with the child in a month, she said. A friend of Benton, Crystal Vadas, said Morgan told Benton that he planned to take Tierra to the park and see a movie, “Happy Feet Two.”

This is also posted in the child crimes section. Disgusting.
 
Oh goodness, those poor children having found the baby that way. I hope counseling will be offered to them to help work through it. As long as I live I'll never understand how the death of a child (or anyone) is the resolution to whatever issue they have going on.

RIP sweet, Tierra. You deserved so much more.

The girl's mother, Imani Benton, 24, dropped off the child with her father at a store Monday afternoon for the pair's first visit in a month, Simmons told the paper.

“He was supposed to be back at 6 and the court order said he could have her until 9 p.m., so she waited until 10 p.m. – and when he didn’t come back, she called the cops,’’ Simmons said.

Simmons said Morgan was driving a white Cadillac when he picked up Tierra, and Benton had given him cash for gasoline.

“Imani arranged for her to go see ‘Happy Feet’ at the movies, and she paid for the ticket
 
I hope Morgan just bought himself a one way ticket to Death Row.

Rest in Heavenly Peace, Little Tierra.

We don't use DP ,why I just don't know. I will bet CPS((DYFS)) was involved with this family.NJ and all states need to wake up and protect our kids!He was homeless living in his car,the childs mom paid for the gas he needed to pick up their daughter she even purchased the movie tickets so he could take her to the movies.:furious:That poor child,when is it going to stop?What a Monster he is!!!!!:furious::furious::furious:
 
This is your worse nightmare come to life. Such a beautiful little doll. My heart breaks for Imani Benton.
 
Praying for this child's mother on this day. May the young people who found this little one be able to process this trauma and move forward with happy lives, unmarred by the day they found this baby. May this discovery affect them only insomuch as they grow up to value and adore their own future little ones in the way this ones father should have.
 
rest peacefully Tierra

hopefully Morgan offed himself & the taxpayers won't have to house him

I can only hope. I don't understand it -- CPS...or the courts...let this monster visit his daughter when he couldn't afford gas, lived in his car, and didn't have money for a meal? WTH is going on??

Rest in peace sweet one.

I so agree with you, Mel! Why wouldn't they have set up visitation in an area safe for little Tierra? They do it all the time for children of homeless, neglectful & abusive parents. Was he not on anyone's radar for having the propensity to do this to his own child?:waitasec:

Continued prayers to the family of this sweet angel. I know I would be in the hospital too had someone did this to one of my babies. :(

A 2-year-old girl whose body was found strapped into her car seat and submerged in a stream at a Wall Township park Tuesday was alive when she was tossed into the water, Monmouth County officials said today.

At the same time, authorities charged the toddler’s father, Arthur Morgan III, with murder after an autopsy showed Tierra Morgan-Glover’s death was caused by "homicidal violence."

Morgan remained at large tonight.
