Exactly. People think being a parent comes naturally. Like everything else, children learn from example. Including their own value.
Besides, it probably absolutely fits her definition of love.
Break the cycle, don't judge.

im just angry this kid was left w this monster

 

[LietKynes]

the quotes by TN are from before Rhodes confession/arrest and before Amari's body was found. But in hindsight, looking at her words and statements from the interview when Amari was still just "missing/falsely abducted" they are very interesting and telling JMO.

Ita.
I think she knew what he was capable of and still left her child with him.
I find it hard to imagine there were no warning signs from this man.

Jacques Nalls was dating Tayler Nicholson when she gave birth to Amari. Nalls said he stepped in because Amari needed a father.

"October 26, man, changed my life. So much from those two years I learned from him, you know, on being a better man," Nalls said.

Nalls and Nicholson broke up over the summer. He said the last time he saw Amari was in November. He said Amari was an easy baby to look after.

"He was just a calm, sweet baby ... he was never difficult, never. If you heard him cry, it’s because he needed something," Nalls said.

He said he’s beyond hurt and doesn’t know where to place his anger. He’s glad an arrest in the case has been made and believes justice will be served.

Nalls met FOX5 at the toddler’s vigil on Wednesday night and said he would head home afterwards to mourn in private.

“I’m just being level headed right now for this. This situation at the scene but when I go back home, I’m going to ball up in my covers. I’m going to look at our pictures, I’m going to hold his favorite teddy bear. His favorite mickey mouse teddy bear, I’m going to hold the blanket that we got made for Christmas, Mickey Mouse was his favorite character. I just want to be here and be in peace you know pay respects to my son and just be as peaceful as possible, man,” Nalls said.

It sure doesn't sound like it. <modsnip>

JN is yet another victim in this tragic case IMO and I believe he genuinely loved little Amari. I don't little about him - this is the first I've heard of him - but I'm pretty sure Amari would still be here if his mother and JN had not broken up last summer. How sad is that... MOO

he did seem to care for him in pix, i like to think the baby was treated well in that period.

 

[LietKynes]

What a beautiful boy !
Rest with the angels, little Amari.

 

[lonetraveler]

I'm going to be outraged if someone gets the Karla Homolka pass. MOO

Me too! I'm so angry right now. I'm sick and tired of the so called
"mothers" going scott free. It's their job to protect their babies.

In my personal experience potty issues are the number one reason cited for child abuse

a close second, Christmas stress

Police find body of 2-year-old Amari Nicholson, grandmother speaks out - KRDO
[...]

Carrie Howard, who lives in Salida, Colorado, is Amari's grandmother. After the murder charge was filed, Howard spoke about the overwhelming emotion she felt.

Howard says, "I’m broken, this is the worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life." She adds, "I just want to bury my grandson. At least let him have that last moment in peace and not in terror, but it’s just time to wait and see what they can get out of him (Rhodes)."

The grandmother believes Rhodes is guilty of murdering her only grandson. She says, "He’s violent and he’s on drugs, and you know so he did it because the baby peed his pants." Howard adds, "He admitted that he did it, because he peed his pants, and I’m told there’s a video of him actually doing it that the police found on deleted files on his phone."

You're forgetting to mention this child's Father's responsibility. Just saying....

 

[WanderingJenn]

Ita.
I think she knew what he was capable of and still left her child with him.
I find it hard to imagine there were no warning signs from this man.
Imo.

Of course there were warning signs, to a "normal" person who's not being abused. What people fail to see is that this IS some people's normal. These "warning signs" you see, could be her confirmation she's loved. Ever hear the phrase "negative attention is better than no attention"?
There's a ton of information out there on what happens to people when they are physically and emotionally abused. It's valuable information when trying to make sense of these situations.
