I am Kaleb’s Gamma Krell and Caprina’s step-MOM. Does the punishment fit the crime? No, only if she would get life since that is what she gave to Kaleb. A life of disabilities is far greater than 7 years. So sad she has a hearing problem…what about the sight problems, disabilities of which we can not begin to know the depth of yet, the lack of friends, a drivers license, dating, marriage and his own family just to mention a few possibilities here. Our family has already gone through this with our adopted son Nathan who is also a shaken baby and Caprina’s brother. She is a very loving and devoted sister and a wonderful Mom to Kaleb and Ayden. Did Rebecca get what she deserves? No but she got all the law allows and that is all we can ask for. The lawyers, detectives, and courts agreed with us and for that we are greatful. Thanks to all of you that investigated, listened to the whole story and made the guilty verdict. To Becky - well maybe someday I will find the strength to forgive you but I am not there yet so I hope you learn a lesson or two in prison that you were not able to learn on the outside. My son has learning disabilities far beyond a hearing problem and would never shake a defenseless child or harm anyone else. You used your hands as weapons on an innocent child - in my eyes you are a monster and monsters belong locked up.

no it is not fair at all…she injured a child who couldn’t defend himself…my son accidentally broke his baby’s arm taking her out of her crib…but because the mother said he did it and she had a pst history and the courts knew this for some reason they believed her…records from missouri could not be used and she had three children takwen away from her…so my son is serving the same amount of time for something he did not do…this happened in illinois and it is not fair nor is it right at all

I agree with Kaleb’s Gamma Krell who is also my sister-in-law. Monsters belong locked up. Unfortunaley the punishment administered in this case was limited by law and therefore does not fit the crime. However, there is a Judge far greater than the wonderful judge who presided over the criminal trial and He will administer justice in His own time and manner. His justice has no limitations.

It is so very difficult to watch Kaleb struggle to do ordinary things that we take for granted. His therapy involves methods to teach him to hold his head up so that he can eventually sit up on his own. He works very hard during these sessions. It breaks my heart to see a thirteen month old child who cannot hold his head up making other actions such as crawling, and/or waling impossible. The amount of damage done to him is so significant that it is impossible for the average person to comprehend. His life struggles will go on way beyond Rebecca Harris’ 7 year sentence. Kaleb and his family have received a life sentence.

I thank God every day for my sister-in-law who works so diligently with Kaleb’s therapy and for my brother, Kaleb’s grandpa, who has been a mainstay for the family. I am so proud of Kaleb’s parents who have been so strong throughout this ordeal. Their love for their children is unwavering. They have concentrated on providing a loving safe environment for Ayden and Kaleb. It would be so easy to be consumed by anger and revenge, however they stay focused.

Your continued prayers for our family is so important to us.

rebeca should have gotten life sentence to hurt any child should be very punishable regardles child crying or not thats the way babys can communicate something is wrong this woman took it upon her self to hurt this child admited she did it then lock her up for life and god bless this child and family our prayers go out to you………….

I think the point of this forum is see what EVERYONE ELSE thinks… NOT just Kalebs family. We all know they think the punishment is not enough.
