What are the warning signs of a disturbed parent?
There are people out there who shouldn't even be allowed to have children. So many sick, disturbed individuals who don't deserve to have a child in their home.
Yet so often, these same people are the ones who go on to have those children. And instead of raising them in a kind, loving, and supportive home, they just decide that they don't want to be a parent anymore. And in this case, instead of taking the steps to do what's right, a mother chose to murder her toddler and treat her as if she was less than trash. But on this channel, we strive to give a voice to the voiceless, those who were taken advantage of in the worst way possible. But before we get into the case, I want to remind you all that I will be attending CrimeCon in Nashville this year.

It's going to be so amazing to get to meet you guys face to face. Let me know in the comments if I will see you there. With that out of the way, I am here to tell you the devastating story of Maha Hobbs.
What happened to Maha Hobbs?
Maha Lee Hobbs was born on November 15, 2017 to parents Alexis Nelson and Terrell Hobbs. Maha was described as a beautiful little girl from the moment she was born. She had tons of energy, she was happy, positive, and she was loved by absolutely everyone who met her.
There you go, baby. Yeah. You got play food. You got play food in your cup. Yeah. You got two more gifts over there. Want to open some more, boo-boo? Go pick it up. Thank you. Oh, my goodness. Thank you. there you go baby
At the time, Maha was living in Aurora, Colorado with her mother Alexis. Meanwhile, her father Terrell lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. I believe Terrell also has another daughter with a different woman, but he may have more children. I'm not completely sure. I also do know that Terrell works as a professional fighter. I don't know the ins and outs of the relationship between Alexis and Terrell, but it appears that they were not together for long or at all after Maha was born. Unfortunately, I don't know all the details for where each family member lived or how long, though I believe Alexis's parents did live in Georgia. And I do believe that Alexis and Terrell did live in Georgia at some point, and I believe that is where Maha was born. So I'm not sure exactly how long Maha and Alexis had been living in Colorado. I don't know when they moved there, if they had lived anywhere else before. I don't know how much family support they had before moving there.
I do believe Alexis was in school, so that might be why they moved to Colorado in the first place, but none of those details are really made available. What we do know is that Alexis was pretty much by herself in Colorado with all of her family living in a different state. Then, as we know, Terrell was also in another state, so she was raising Maha by herself.
What was the relationship like between Maha's parents?
It seemed that from the moment Alexis became pregnant, though, she wasn't sure what would happen with Maha. As I will mention in just a minute, Alexis wasn't in a good place when Maha was born. She wasn't even sure if she wanted to keep her. She was in school, she was living far away from everybody, and she didn't have the best financial situation. But after giving birth to such a beautiful little girl, she decided to keep her. Now, according to Terrell, Maha and Alexis came to visit him in North Carolina when Maha was about two years old. After that, for the six months that followed, Terrell stayed in contact with Alexis and Maha via FaceTime. Terrell loved being able to see his daughter on FaceTime.
But after those six months, for the two years that followed, Alexis completely cut off contact with Terrell. She wouldn't call him and she wouldn't answer his attempts at contacting them. She wouldn't allow Maha to speak with her father any longer, so for two years, Terrell was not able to see or speak with Maha.
