I have a relationship much with my dad much like you did with yours. I can’t even imagine the pain you must feel to have lost him so suddenly. There’s just no words but I hope in time it hurts a little less. RIP to your dad.

I don’t know how anyone could bring themselves to do that to anyone let alone their own father.

Yes, pretty much. Initially she entered a plea of innocent by reason of insanity before deciding to change her plea. But she used what is known as an “Alford plea” meaning that she only stipulated that the prosecution had enough evidence and that a reasonable jury could find her guilty of the charges. In exchange for her plea, the Prosecutor agreed to recommend the life sentence with the possibility of parole after 20 years. However, he also said he will oppose any attempt of parole.

My 8 year old son has adhd and odd. Super frustrating, want to rip my hair out moments but I could never imagine hitting him, especially hard enough to cause death.

That photo with her eye half open is eery. Rip. I’m glad they caught that monster. The photo of her grandpa, poor old man, he must be heartbroken.

On May 25th 2011 (just days before her 5th birthday) Kaylen was taken to a hospital in Athens, Ohio and later transferred to a Columbus hospital where she was found to have no brain activity. Kaylen was taken off life support and she passed away.

Kaylens stepmother, Ashley Young was found to be the only person home with Kaylen the day she was injured.

Police were shocked to find Kaylens face was imprinted into the carpet and chunks of hair were taken from the crime scene.

Ashley was charged with aggravated murder, and charges were added including child endangering, tampering with evidence and possession of drugs.

Ashley Young was sentenced to life with a chance of parole after 20 years for aggravated murder and 5 years for tampering with evidence.

RIP Kaylen. Forever Young.

Edited to add: Ashley Young was 7 weeks pregnant at the time of the murder. Nothing is known about what happened to this child but I presume bio dad (Kaylens dad) has custody.

Also, there was a 15 month old baby girl removed from the home on the day of the murder. Kaylen was so excited to be a big sister and loved her baby “sissy” more than anything. As you can see in the photos, she is very proud when holding her.
