Child Abuse. Heart-breaking.

I went through YouTube a few days ago, looking for the video about Kelsey Briggs' story. I saw that video months ago when a friend of mine sent the cause invitation to me via Facebook and he said he "cried so hard". And it was really sad. Check this out.



How could someone do such horrible things to a toddler that cute?! I was crying my eyes out and breathing so heavily, my chest went up and down, seeing that child has marks, bruises, and a black eye. And it got even worse when she broke both of her legs. She was two years old! In her mother's care! She also got broken collarbones, multiple bruises and abrations on her lower back, buttocks, and thighs. Oh wait, that's not it. I literally wail out when I saw her dad on her grave. No matter how painful it is for me to see, I would never imagine how would her paternal family feels, especially her father and grandmother. Check this page for more specific information on Kelsey http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelsey_Smith-Briggs

That is not the worse child abuse case I've ever known. Kelsey had his whole life captured on camera. Playing, laughing, growing up (Though only for a little while). This case is.



Briana Lopez, 6 months old. This murder case is so heart-breaking, the cops cried. The baby had bruises from head to toe. Old and new. And her dad admitted that he had been raping Briana (SHE IS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD!). And that's not even the saddest part yet! Briana is now locked up in a cage full of trash by her family, despite that the community were willing to claim her body.

I felt bad and guilty. I wish I was a defendant or a consultant, or anyone that would stand up for those poor kids and make a difference!!! I wish I could have done something. But, unfortunately, I was too, too young when that happened.

So please, if you witnessed a child abuse, tell the authorities or local child protection. Call 'em up. You might save a life. Silence is not golden.



P.S. I don't like to call Kelsey "Kelsey Smith-Briggs" because I don't have any respect for her mother, Raye Dawn Smith. She is not capable of being a mother. She should've just let Kelsey live with her paternal grandmother, and Kelsey would be alive right now.
