  1. I sure hope they investigate Ava’s death! HER FIRST BORN CHILD! Prayers for this baby and the brand new baby she just had!

        1. 2019! They said it was SIDS, but I definitely disagree. I disagreed then, and I disagree even more now.

          1. I know that Ava was completely healthy when they took her from me in 2019.. Ava died 12 days after they took her.

    1. I am with Wendy on this. Ava stayed with us some because my was her babysitter. She was a healthy baby and her mom didn’t take care of her. Wendy actually did a lot for baby Ava. Now another child has been harmed. I don’t know about humanity these days. These babies being killed by their parents is so depressing.

      1. I can’t imagine how this happened AGAIN! I pray someone gets these babies and LOVES THEM! I sure hate this for so many reasons. I did not allow Cheyenne to come back around, I LOVE THE KIDS. I couldn’t imagine having to go through this again.

  2. Ava was in someone else’s care at the time of her death in 2019. She had an undiagnosed heart condition. No excuse for this behavior tho. I pray for both children! Let the judge throw the book at em!

    1. NO Ava was healthy. Charlie came and got her from my home and He gave her back to cheyenne and the night Ava died Cheyenne had just taken her over to Charlie’s BROTHERS! I will never forget the feeling i had when i got the phone call!

      1. No. Cheyenne was with a friend when Ava died because I remember getting the call and our friend telling she had to take Cheyenne over there from Dumas!

  3. They both need to be where they can t reproduce is the only nice thing I m going to say not what I think !!

  4. I don’t believe any of this. I know Carlitos since he was a very young kid, talk about the sweetest kid ever and moms favorite son. If anything, what if these could be false accusations towards him. There is such thing as “self defense” when someone provokes a fight, and men and children being verbally and physically plus emotionally abused by women, wives, girlfriends and moms of the children. It’s saddening the statistics are lower for men but what if this could be one of those numbers??? It breaks my heart to see this very sweet young man going through this, I can’t imagine the pain his mom is feeling. Please I ask the public who knows this young man to stand up for him. What if he’s the one being abused and so is the child?. Who knows…it’s just sad seeing this. Let’s look beyond who and what people look like and are.

    1. What is wrong with people like u, like who says this type of stuff? Baby Ava should Rest In Peace she had a condition. & for those saying Carlitos is innocent he’s not. She’s uploaded several videos of him harming her and he would control her. They get deleted so quick after posting. Clearly he manipulated her, females get super scared in situations like this. Only god knows. Let the authorities investigate!

    2. He’s abused gabby and her the entire time they have been together. There is nothing good about this boy he is abusive I hope he rots in jail and never gets the chance to lay a hand on the newborn they just had.

    1. that has nothing to do with the situation. there are multiple guys that do the same and are of different races, including white. it isn’t always about race. educate yourself and stop coming off as a DUMB ASS. this is about CHILD ABUSE. not RACE.

      1. Nice attempt to shut him down, but really he’s not talking about race. He’s talking about culture.

        Hispanic men, as a rule, are dominating toward their women. Not all, but most. Sometimes this devolves into physical and even sexual abuse. Many simply have no idea how to deal with a woman when the heat gets turned up other than violence.

        Look, mixing cultures… not a good idea in the long run.

        1. it isn’t just hispanic men. it’s men as a WHOLE. men feel the need to be dominate and turn to violence. because men are stronger and use their power for whatever they want. stop trying to bring race or culture or whatever the hell you want to call it into it at all. it has nothing to do with what goes through one’s mind his race or culture isn’t the reason he did what he did. she herself is white and takes part in this. it is her child.

        2. of course your display name is jimmy crow. this is racially motivated and disgusting. one outlier of a race or culture as you put it does not represent the entirety of it. the woman (who is white!!!) is just as guilty, and white people have just a bad a history of being abusive, murderous, and nasty, yet she does not represent the entirety of white people. do some research before opening your mouth again.

        3. Billy Bob was being racist … that comment he made was derogatory and wasn’t referring to Hispanic culture…. You are coming off as racist too ??Jim Crow ? …. Mixing races don’t make you an abuser …. It makes you accepting of one another differences. The WHITE culture is one of history’s most abusive culture there is of ppl physically (if we’re going there ) … ? Abusers come in all shades, backgrounds and cultures. No one culture has abusing on lock . It’s in all of them. It’s just hidden behind closed doors until you need an ambulance , …. Hurt ppl , hurt ppl !!! Kindness goes a long way? which is what that baby deserves. Race and culture didn’t abuse this child …. Ppl did ?

        4. Mixing cultures is bad in the long run? OK I see what you’re saying. I applaud the use of cultural to keep you from appearing too grand wizard like. Culture is learned behavior 100%. You are taught to believe what you believe and you either accept it as fact or grow up and decide what’s truth for you. The fact that any human would believe their better than another in any valuable way is the dumbest shit that was ever invented. Your racist because your daddy was like his daddy before him just like mine was. You got your ass whooped back then for atleadt not pretending to be. If you were born white you didn’t have shit to do with it if you were born black not shit you could do. Which any rational human knows it’s the things a person can control is where you decide their worth in your life. How the hell can you tote a Bible screaming the “n” word? White folks is crazy in the way that we’re mostly agreeable and therefore easily brainwashed.

    2. This dude! Our border? What’d you do to deserve that privilege? Hes just a dude who did or didn’t his race is irrelevant in actual reality.

  5. he’s an abuser. his ex came out and spoke about him abusing her too. it’s the same pattern. sad situation. he deserves to rot in jail.

  6. funny how he claims to be in “blood” gang. bet those damn “bloods” will beat his ass in jail. HA! he needs his ass beat.

  7. if some of you on here only knew the truth about Carlitos Roque. his own family has spoke about it on facebook. HE IS NOT INNOCENT

  8. I don’t know him personally but she is no saint she will instigate anything just to get drama and attention. I have known her for over 15 years And I do believe she would be capable of harming that child just to please a man.

  9. She never harmed Ava, her death was a hereditary heart condition that was undiagnosed. Also only reason they took her from you is because you were trying to keep Ava from Cheyenne.

    1. So there was an autopsy? And Clearly the child was in DANGER 3 1/2 years ago. And here we are 3 children born to what? Some people see what MOST DO NOT! Have a blessed day!

  10. I could be wrong, but I know Carlos for over years and He is a sweet boy and always has been. She has a lot to do with this. She would manipulate him in every way. She would not let him go eat with his mom or buy her food. She always wanted Carlos for her and her only. Everytime they will get mad while being pregnant, she will go and drink alcohol and smoke Week because she wanted to harm the baby. She is crazyyyyy!!!!! She will beat on Carlos as well. Varios time she made him bleed from his nose. She will scratch, punch, and pinch him. For those who they know Brianna, you don’t. Carlos would say that she always neglected her and whopped her for no reason.

  11. Good to see there is plenty of trash left in Warren, from the criminals to the comments. Warren isn’t what it used to be 20 years ago.

  12. Racist has nothing to do with it whatsoever! They are just pure EVIL to put their hands on a child with enough force to harm them!! It’s pathetic that with there record the Judge only gave them a $10,000 bond which puts them back on the street with only a $1,000 and the baby is still in the hospital suffering from their hands!!?

    1. Thank you! Finally someone shine the true light on the situation. The damage had been done and the justice system fails, yet, another child.?

  13. So its okay to whoop on gabby for keeping Cheyenne up at night? Or the fact that Cheyenne was super scared to go to the ER that day or night she took her cause she KNEW she done whoop that baby too hard and actually hurt gabby? If carlos ever “whooped” on Cheyenne its cause he was defending himself. Sorry to say but if you gonna hit a guy then dont get upset when he hit back.??‍♀️ But tbh their drama has NOTHING to do with gabby’s leg being broken.

  15. That night she whooped her daughter Gabby so bad that she was scared she was going to get caught. Carlos eventually convinced her to take her, and when people questioned about why the baby was so hurt, she tried flipping it on Carlos in order for her not to get caught. She is telling everyone that Carlos did that, but she knows for a fact he had nothing to do with that. She has always pretended to be that “perfect” and “caring” mother, but now it’s time to reveal her true colors! She thought she was going to get a way with it, but she didn’t. Only god knows what happened that night, and he will make justice!

  16. Are yall so stupid Cheyenne didn’t kill any of her kids in fact the new born is in a foster home n gabby is suppose to go to her daddy n ava died of sids her mom was not even around when she died n I put it on both parties not them children shouldn’t have been a used at all but I also before Carlos done the abusive part to Cheyenne n her kids…. n Cheyenne just let it happen … don’t believe Cheyenne laid a hand on them kids…..

  17. Ava was with me the night she passed and I can promise you she was being well taken care of. I live with losing her on my watch every day. She was perfectly fine when she went to sleep but never woke up. These comments about her death are very hard to read.
