'What type of people enjoy abusing other people's children?': Terrifying internet search of Georgia babysitter, 29, who is charged with beating toddler to death
A Georgia babysitter has been charged with murder for allegedly beating to death a two-year-old girl she was caring for, after searching on her computer 'what type of people enjoy abusing other people's children'.
Kristie Flood, 29, has been charged with murdering two-year-old Fallon Fridley on December 9 in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The babysitter was a friend of the girl's family for the last five years.
On December 9, she phoned Fallon's mother hysterically crying, saying the toddler wasn't breathing and that she'd hit her head on the slide at the park.
The girl was taken to the hospital but died. An autopsy later revealed she'd been beaten to death.

Police then obtained a warrant to search the babysitter's phone and found she'd been searching terms including 'what type of people enjoy abusing other people’s children' and 'what does it mean to have a sudden urge to beat a child that’s not yours.'
Flood was charged with malice murder, aggravated battery and cruelty to children in the 1st degree. She now faces life behind bars.
On Facebook, her mother Kristin Gantt posted a photo of her injured arm the day she died and said: 'I will never understand why... why why. Fly high my angel baby'.
It's unclear what type of injuries Fallon suffered, or if Flood has kids of her own.

'Fallon was a beautiful little girl with her whole life ahead of her. She was only two years old. It is so hard to make sense of her cruel, tragic and untimely loss.

'She of all people doesn't deserve to experience this tragedy.
'We don't have the answers but we know we want to do something to help her as she makes plans for her baby girl's funeral and pays for hospital expenses for a child that will not be coming home.
'Please send a kind message and donate a little to help this grieving mother who needs us right now. We want to support her as she rebuilds today and learns to live a new life in the days to come.
'We don't want her to worry about having the funds to take care of a funeral, medical expenses or anything else that comes up,' they said.
