The little girl named Payton ate peanut butter with a spoon.

“She had the softest voice,” her mother, Tabatha Manning, said Thursday. “She almost sounded like she was whispering.”

Manning and Payton's father, Marvin Benson, cried again Thursday at the press conference and wiped away the tears shed by their children. “I ask our community to help me in forgiving the people who are responsible for this,” Manning said. “We need some love, everyone. This needs to end for the safety of everyone.”
