Grandmother of baby found in box says mother needs help

A 7 month year old Shannon Lee Dedrick was found in a small cedar box under her baby sitters bed. The Grandmother of Shannon says her daughter Chrystina Lynn Mercer is troubled and needs help. Susan Baker reported little Shannon missing 10 hours after she had received Shannon. Baker and Mercer where both charged with the incident. Days after Shannon was reported missing the police found the child in a small box under the bed. Clothes and baking powder to hide the smell of soiled diapers were found inside the 2-foot-by-3-foot box. Shannon is now in protective custody.

Troubled!! That's an understatement. I have read other articles about this same story and this isn't the first child that has disappeared. A 3 year old child of Mercer disappeared some years ago and was never found. These two aren't troubled they are crazy. I think they need to be put in a box and left for dead.

I am not big on eye for an eye, but when it comes to an innocent little baby that's different. This child didn't ask to be born nor did she do anything to deserve this. There are so many people that want kids that can't have them and people like this just throw them away like there trash. How can anybody do something so horrific to such a small child. It makes me sick to even think about it.

With this being said I think we need to start making people fill out applications for having kids now days.
