Baby Beaten Within An Inch Of Her Life And 5 Months Later Her Family Says The Monster Who Did This Has Not Been Arrested
Madisonville, Tennessee. Earlier this year at the end of January, a sweet little 3-month-old baby girl named Makenzie was abused so badly, she almost died.
“At the end of January 2021, in Monroe County, TN, Makenzie at 3-months-old was abused within inches of her life,” her family explained in a Facebook post.
“She sustained 3 skull fractures, a leg fracture, is left with little to no eyesight, she has lost muscle tone in her lower extremities and her brain injury is still extensive.”
Makenzie’s loved ones revealed that she did not receive proper medical care for her injuries for at least 2 days after she was abused.
“Makenzie is SAFELY placed with family by the court and has a tribe of loved ones loving and providing for her.”
It’s now been 5 months since that horrific incident, and Makenzie is 8-months-old.
Her family says the monster who did this to her has still not been arrested, and police have noted what was done to Makenzie was intentional, not accidental.
Makenzie’s grandmothers Melissa and Maria and her aunt, Jessica, are now pushing to get justice for the little girl.

The three women say that authorities have one suspect in mind, but they are failing to arrest, charge, or convict that person.
They also noted that multiple people that have been around Makenzie or involved with her life were cleared of any wrongdoing, except for this person.
Makenzie’s family is also frustrated about continuously being told that her case would be sent to a grand jury, and that has yet to happen.
“The named Prime Suspect from Law Enforcement has been able to continue to live life as though nothing has happened to this little girl,” they explained.
Although Makenzie is alive, she still is suffering from what was so cruelly done to her.
“Makenzie is in extensive occupational and physical therapy, has seen the inside of more MRI machines than an adult has, doesn’t recognize that she has legs, cannot see and continues to suffer tremendously both physically and emotionally,” her family shared.
Makenzie has also had to undergo surgery to try to repair her vision, but the news is not good. Her vision will forever be lost in her right eye, and as for her left eye, her family is hoping that somehow she will be able to eventually see a little out of it.
