A prisoner at a California correctional facility has gained public attention after reports surfaced of an assault on Graciela Bustamante, who was facing charges for the torture and murder of her 8-year-old stepdaughter, Genesis Mata.

Supporters have filled the commissary fund of Anita Doron, an inmate at Lerdo Jail, with donations following her alleged attack on Bustamante on August 8. Doron mentioned to local news outlet KBAK that Bustamante, deemed a cruel stepmother, received what she deserved.

“I would definitely do it again,” Doron told the outlet.

“Some of the inmates noticed her not taking the situation seriously. She returned from court and was laughing and joking, and they wondered, ‘What’s so amusing?’”

“When you’re faced with someone that’s gross and has no remorse, you kind of don’t want to deal with it because you don’t want to take it to where you want to take it.”

Little Genesis was found dead in a motel bathroom on Aug. 2 with injuries indicating she had been burned with hot water, beaten and whipped, according to reports.

Doron told the outlet she has a cousin named Genesis who is 10 years old, and added that torturous abuse allegations triggered bad memories of foster care and the Child Protective Services.

“When it comes to the foster system and the CPS system, just, we gotta get these kids. It’s really serious what’s going on with these children,” Doron told the outlet.

“This is really an epidemic that’s going on with kids, and it’s disgusting, but something needs to be done.”

Bustamonte was hospitalized after the attack, though details are not known.

After news of the smackdown spread, Doron’s commissary account was flooded with heaps of donations, according to KGET.

Officials stated that her account exceeded the maximum allowable transactions, the outlet reported.

Doron is being held on charges related to evading an officer and stealing a vehicle, to which she pleaded no contest.

She is being held on $70,000 bail, KGET reported.

Both Bustamante and her husband, Ray Mata Jr., were charged in the grisly torture death of their Genesis, according to the outlet
