JUSTICE FOR ALEXANDRIA 1989-2007 *~Gina and Mike~*

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me


*~This candle will burn until Alexandria gets justice~*
R.I.P. Alex you are missed more than words can say by your family and friends.
Thou shalt not be a victim.
Thou shalt not be a perpetrator.
Above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.

Our 18 year old daughter was murdered 4/27-28/2007 in the most horrible way you could imagine, her name is Alexandria Clouse-Desmond aka Alexandria Desmond but the papers and media referred to her as the girl/woman/princess found in a box in Hartford CT.
Alex was not just a girl found in a box, Alex was our daughter, a big sister, a grandchild, a friend.. but most importantly she was a human being who loved life and loved her family and friends dearly.
Since Alex's death, a part of us has died with her and things will never be the same with out our child. The sad part of this all is the state failed our child , and failed those people who murdered our Alex. They were all suffering from serious mental health problems.
It has been hard for us to reach this point but our heart aches for even those who murdered Alex and their families. None the less they must be brought to justice and get the help they so desperately needed in the first place.
When we obtained Voluntary Services which is NOT giving a child up to DCF, it is a program that helps with medical bills and such, I actually had sole custody of Alex.
We believed that Alex would be provided services that would help her get better. When Alex turned 18 she was placed in DMHAS Young Adult Services (Cedarcrest Hospital).Now we no longer have our child to hug or to hear Mom and Dad please buy me this or that, we have memories and pictures.
We have spent the last few weeks broken and shattered, but now is our time to fight for new laws and to give our daughter the justice and legacy that she deserves.
We tried so hard when Alex was alive to help those with mental illness especially our own daughter, no one wanted to listen...they always told the family "We are the professionals".
This time we will NOT back down!!!!

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Other people who have suffered the loss of a child through murder. We would also like to meet officials/people who do care about children and their future. We are really not interested in having the lives of other children brushed under the carpet or end in murder for the sake of a fabricated resume being filled out and a person being hired simply because they have a relative working at a state run facility too. IT IS TIME FOR CHANGE!
