Yes, that was my first thought too. She needs more than drugs too. She needs therapy. Not feeling sorry for her, but I wonder what may have been done to her, in order to do something so terrible to her own grand daughter. Or maybe it is just purely mental.
She was doing the same shit to the girls parents / her children (SOURCE) so while there's no evidence that something happened to her, at the very least it's something that's been happening for a long time.
Prosecutors had planned to put on testimony at trial from Robinson's adult children, who also were physically abused by "Nelda" as children, documents show. At the time of the abuse, the victim and her three siblings lived with both defendants in Oklahoma City. Evidence showed the victim had been tortured between June 2014 and September 2014. Prosecutors said the children went to live with Robinson after their parents split up. The children's father believed Robinson no longer did the "Nelda thing" and was taking medication, according to prosecutors.
And he still left his daughter with her? What is going on here? Why can't one of the parents take care of their own child? Something just does not seem right.
It seems to me like the parents were going through a difficult time (emotionally, financially, etc) and I guess they thought it was better to have them stay with grandma? I don't think there was anything sinister going on. Just your garden variety stupidity.
When my parents split up, I lived with my grandfather for a while. Difference is, he wasn't abusive, and one of my parents also came to live with me.
The parents said they thought their mother wasn't doing 'the witch thing' anymore. Sadly, it's common for people who were abused to allow access to the abuser. Wishful thinking. And stupidity. I would never let my (hypothetical!) child have unsupervised access to anyone who abused me.
This is why we must demand anyone that has been abused to get free therapy and sex abuse de-programing. Right when it is reported, that is the time when mandatory help must be provided.

Someone just replied that she had abused her own children. Why would she be trusted with the grand children? There is more to this story.
