Bowling, who used to walk her grandson to school with McCaylah and Joy Watkins, said Joy Watkins often seemed hateful and rarely said anything pleasant to the girl.
"She would call her stupid and say things to her like 'shut up,'" Bowling said. "Caylah was a real pretty, sweet little girl, but she didn't look happy. I don't ever remember seeing her smile."
In one incident, Joy Watkins became upset with McCaylah and began yelling at her in the street in front of Bowling's apartment. She was screaming so loudly that neighbors stepped out onto their porches to see what the commotion was about, Bowling said.
Watkins knocked the schoolbooks out of McCaylah's hands and then stormed off while the girl, who was crying, struggled to pick up her belongings, Bowling said.
Another neighbor, William Deaton, 35, said McCaylah, who was home-schooled this year, attended Shearer Elementary in Winchester last year with his 10-year-old niece. He said McCaylah told his niece that "her mom & dad were being mean to her and beating her up."
Shearer Elementary Principal Ed Sigmon declined to comment about McCaylah yesterday.

Yet:
When 2 adults are involved in this kind of behavior they are taken to jail - but why this is not the case when a child is rec'ing the same kind of treatment reported by neighbors and relatives is the same not done currently?
It makes no sense - as I am sure we all agree.
