PLEASE STOP DOING STUNTS AND SHOWS!
Two South Carolina women will spend the rest of their lives in prison for beating a toddler to death in 2009. Erika Mae Butts and Shanita Latrice Cunningham, both 25, each received a life sentence from a Charleston judge on Thursday, two years to the day after 3-year-old Serenity Richardson died while in their care. The courtroom became a setting for the bizarre scene when the two ladies collapsed, wailed uncontrollably and hyper-ventilated after hearing they would serve life for killing a three-year-old girl.
It was shame, Erica Mae Butts and Shanita Latrice Cunningham had to be picked off the floor by court officials and held in chairs as they were wheeled out of the room. The mother of Erica was physically thrown out by three staff members after shouting loudly at her daughter to, “Get up!” then screaming, “I can’t leave my baby like this, my baby is out!” Imagine how, that poor baby felt, when they were beating her to death. I don’t feel sorry for them at all.
“It is nearly impossible for words to accurately describe what these women did to that poor little girl,” said Elizabeth Gordon, assistant managing solicitor for Charleston County. “They beat her repeatedly both with a belt and with plastic coat hangers. You can see the outlines of the strikes on this child’s body. There is not one area of this child’s body that was unharmed except for the soles of her feet.” 3-year-old Serenity was visiting Erica Butts (her godmother and her mother’s best friend) and Shanita Cunningham( Erica’s lover), for two weeks at their home in Summerville, South Carolina when the abuse took place, Gordon said. Serenity’s mother, Leshia Richardson, lives in Detroit.
Watch the HORRIFIC Video:
“The explanation they gave (for the beatings) was that Serenity had a potty accident,” Gordon said. “Their explanation is “we didn’t know what we did would kill her.’” When Serenity became unresponsive on November 3, 2009, “they put bleach under her nose and they put ice on her to try to revive her,” Gordon said. Erica called her own mother, who called 911. When medics arrived, the child had been dead for some time, Gordon said. She said that in four years of prosecuting crimes against special victims, this was the worst case she had seen.
“In most of the homicide-by-child-abuse cases, somebody made a bad decision one day. (Butts and Cunningham) made a decision every single day that they were going to beat that child.” An estimated 1,770 children died from abuse or neglect in 2009, according to the Child Welfare Information Gateway at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Most researchers believe the number of child abuse deaths is under-reported, according to the department. The most frequent victims are children ages 4 and younger.

  5. I think Cunningham was the dominant one. She looks aggressive and short tempered.
    She most likely resented Potts for agreeing to care for the child. After all, a three year old takes a lot ot attention and thus less time for Potts to focus on her. .

  6. Those monsters got what they deserved, screaming and acting like Oscar winning drama queens. The screams out of baby Serenity do not even bare thinking about or those of her mum when she learned her precious little baby was cruelly murdered,
    How anyone could possibly possibly hurt a trusting innocent little baby is beyond anyone's comprehension.
    Glad the judge threw the book at them. I loved the way she wasn't even phased by the drama queens.
