DECATUR -- A little girl was killed and Decatur police say her parents are responsible.
Her father told police he hit her with a belt so many times he lost count. Both the parents Darrell Reynolds and Dalvon Taylor are behind bars for the death.
Police say the mother knew about the abuse for two years and never reported it. She says Reynolds was also abusing her.
4 year old Amarrah Reynolds died from hemorrhages to the brain and blunt force trauma. Police say her father beat her arms, legs, and body with a belt.
He beat her until she fell over and hit her head on a TV. They say he brought her to Decatur Memorial Hospital unresponsive covered in bruises and scabs.
After questioning he admitted, "he knew it was abuse and he was sorry." He also said she had been acting up and putting her in time out was not working. Volunteers for CASA say each story is hard to hear.
When Reynolds was at the police department he attempted to kill himself. Police say he put a bag over his head. Officers went in and removed the bag.
Reynolds is charged with reckless homicide. And Taylor is charged with endangerment of child that caused death. They were both in court earlier today.
