Body found in a Freezer by Mattie Whisler 9th period Flex

11 year old Janiya Thomas was last seen in August of 2014. The investigation into the disappearance of Janiya began when a child abuse complaint was filed in September. The complaint was filed on Janiya's mother Keishanna Thomas. When Child Protective Services went to the house to pick up the children they only found 4 of her 5 children. CPS officials said that when asked about Janiya Thomas refused to tell them where she was. She refused to tell where the child was at court on Friday as well. Concerned about Janiya, family members reached out to the police after they heard the news of her disappearance. Janiya's grandmother and aunt told officials that her mother and a friend dropped a 5 foot by 4 foot freezer off at their home last week. The freezer had a padlock on it, the grandmother and aunt thought it was weird so they broke into the freezer and found the body of a young black female. Janiya apparently had a medical condition that prevented her from knowing when she needed to use the restroom. Authorities say that her condition angered her mother. They believe that it may have caused her mother to commit the crime. Police are still trying to identify the accomplice that helped Thomas deliver the freezer.

I think that the stress of having 5 kids and the fact that one had a medical condition that would make her wet herself without warning would cause Keishanna Thomas to snap at some point. Anyone is capable of something like this, but what I don't understand is why she wouldn't have tried to get her daughter help.

    She killed her daughter because she didn't know when she would go? Seriously?! I don't even know how to respond to that! Got her a diaper, for Pete's sake!

  3. If she couldn't properly care for 5 children then she shouldn't have them, it's as simple as that but the fact that her daughter's MEDICAL CONDITION annoyed her to the point that she put her in a freezer THEN dropped the freezer off at a relative's house proves how depraved she is. The remaining children should be removed from her custody and she should be charged and locked up.
