A 21-year-old mother from Georgia has been arrested and charged with the murder of her two newborn sons in separate incidents just three years apart. Dakota Taylor's alleged crimes were uncovered after a six-month-old boy died at a group home where she was staying, prompting investigators to re-examine her record.
According to authorities, Taylor allegedly suffocated her infant son Caleb to death, causing him "excessive mental and physical pain." The grand jury arrest warrant obtained by the New York Post described the mother's alleged actions as "unlawful and with malice aforethought."
Taylor had previously been accused of killing her 7-month-old son Micah in September 2021. At the time, his cause of death was unknown. However, it has now been revealed that Taylor allegedly obstructed Micah's airways, causing him to become unresponsive.
The young mother's demeanor towards her children has raised concerns among authorities. Body camera footage captured Taylor appearing "heartless and indifferent" to Micah's death in the days following his passing. One officer described her reaction as "nonchalant," stating that she seemed unconcerned when they found him dead.
Taylor was already being held at a jail on charges stemming from a 2021 child death investigation, but her latest arrest marks a new and disturbing chapter in her alleged history of violence against her children. The investigation into Taylor's crimes is ongoing, with authorities continuing to gather evidence and build their case against her.

I mean, think about it - someone could just be in the wrong room at the wrong time and end up being accused of murder over some "excessive mental and physical pain" 
And what's with all this surveillance? It feels like we're losing our right to some basic level of privacy. I'm not saying Dakota Taylor is innocent or anything, but I just don't think these new-fangled baby monitoring systems are worth the risk... 
This is just so messed up... I mean, I know it's horrific what she's done to those poor kids, but can we talk about how broken the system is? Like, 21 years old and already killing her babies? That's not a mistake, that's a choice. And the fact that she was able to get away with it for so long is just mind-blowing. I'm not saying I condone what she's done, but can't we be talking about how we're supposed to support and protect vulnerable people like her? Instead of locking them up? It's a whole mess, you know? 
how could someone be capable of this?! it's just so heartbreaking for the kids who suffered at her hands 
. It's like she didn't even care that her kid was gone. And then this new guy Caleb... suffocating him to death? That's just brutal 
. She clearly shows no remorse or love for her kids. It's like she was just going through the motions... I don't get how someone can be so heartless, you know? 
... I mean, can you even imagine being that young and already facing something like this? It's like, what went wrong in her life, you know? She was only 21, for crying out loud! 
... but at the same time, what kind of mom leaves her babies unattended and stuff like that? That's some crazy messed up stuff right there 
. And those body cam vids are just wild, you know? Like, no emotion whatsoever... it's like she was just going through the motions or something.
That's just chilling. I can see why the authorities are raising concerns about her demeanor towards her children. It's like, you would think that as a mother, she'd be devastated, but instead she's just... indifferent.
This is just a really tough topic to wrap your head around...
Oh noooo, this makes me so sad... 
how can someone do such terrible things to their own kids? 
, she seems like a really scary person 
, but what's going on in that girl's head? 
Is there some kind of sickness or something that makes people do this to their babies? 
I don't get it.
. The fact that this girl has already been accused of killing one baby is just heartbreaking 
It makes me so mad that someone like her is walking around with kids! And I cant help but wonder what was going on in her head to make her do such things? Is she some kind of monster or just a lost soul? Whatever it is, this girl needs serious help and a lot of time in prison if the law gets through to her.
. How can someone so young be entrusted with the responsibility of raising children, especially when it comes to something as sacred as life? 
i mean what kinda mom does that?! she seems so nonchalant in them body cam vids, like "oh welp, my son's dead" 
and now she's gettin charged with murder and stuff...i dont know how this girl couldve been so heartless
