WHOA.... From your link:

Sykes had instructed the 10-year-old on "how to kill the adults the 10-year-old was temporarily living with by cutting their throats with a knife while they slept and burning their house by dousing bed sheets with aerosol spray and setting them on fire."

"An arrest report alleged that Sykes communicated with her 10-year-old daughter on the online gaming platform Roblox and instructed her "on various methods to kill the infant." The court documents said Sykes is related to the infant"

This child's mother told her to do these things!!!

Her and her husband were arrested in may after the 20 year old male living in their home, got the 14 yo daughter pregnant.

Im wondering if this infant that she tried to have murdered is the child of the 14 year old

 

[Gemmie]

And the pic of her I like the best.

Whoa... some interesting stuff in this article. Here's a sneak peek (to much to mention):

The report says her daughter was 31 weeks pregnant and appeared to be suffering from malnutrition. Deputies quickly discovered that Sykes and her husband both knew their daughter was pregnant as early as November 2023 after allegedly being "sexually battered" by 20-year-old Kyle Myers.

[...]

investigators discovered she and her husband allowed a 20-year-old man to live in their home after finding out he impregnated their 14-year-old daughter.

Report: 10-year-old was 'terrified' Tara Sykes would kill her if she didn't kill infant

The 10-year-old girl told law enforcement she feared Tara Sykes would kill her if she didn't kill a 2-month-old as instructed.

AFTER finding out. Absolute garbage, Throw away the key

Interesting...

In regards to her pregnant 14yo daughter... She was arrested on 5/28 for that. 31 weeks prior is the week of 10/24 as far as when she could have gotten pregnant (If I counted correctly). 9 months is late July, so her child would be ~3 months by now.

So, the baby she the 10 yo was instructed to drop was 2 months old. I could be off with my time guesstimates because I don't have exact dates so it was a bit of a guess with what I read. Sounds like you could be right and it very well could be her grandson. Ugh. <modsnip> IMO.

Hard to believe anyone living in her house would be malnourished after getting a good look at her!!! Her girls are going to be SO messed up. JMO

The argument against the victim being her grandchild, is how would she have had the information to make contact with the ten year old? How would she know the user name of the child? It's not like people's real names and addresses are on Roblox. Would she even know the identity of her grandchild's foster parents, given the circumstances?

MOO

I'm venturing a guess that she is related to the 10 yr old which I'm going to guess is the 14 yr old pregnant daughter's sister. She's shown with 3 young girls and her husband holding a marriage certificate that I posted upthread.

The court documents said Sykes is related to the infant.

Did the 10 year old know it was her mother she was talking to on Roblox who was ordering her to do these horrible things? How did LE find out about this? Did the 10 year old tell someone? And did the 10 year old ever try to do any of the things her mother told her to do? This is almost unbelievable.

The 10-year-old said in a forensic interview that she dropped the baby "on the floor at the direction of her mother," the arrest report alleged. The girl said she was "terrified of her mother and felt that if she did not follow through with the instructions, Sykes would harm or kill her as well," it said

I'm not seeing any info about the baby's current condition. I don't even know what Roblox is. I'll google.

Roblox is a gaming platform where all sorts of people use it even though it’s primarily aimed at kids. There are some seriously messed up people that pretend to be kids on it so they can talk to other kids

 

[killarney rose]

Roblox is a video game that can be played online or alone. It can be looked upon as harmless but it can be very addictive. As callmehenry posted, it’s very easy for strangers to talk to kids on it. My daughter thought she had DGSs shut down tight but it wasn’t.

what is DGS?

I think it is creepy to allow children into these gaming worlds, where it is so uncontrolled. I played Roblox a few times, and really worry about it.

Anyone manipulating a child to kill a baby, should go directly to jail.
