In Loving Memory Of Kelsey Briggs

Hello everyone my name is Vicki. I'm here on Myspace for one reason and that reason is to STOP CHILD ABUSE. I my self have luckily never been abused but sadly hundreds of kids are abused every day and most of the times its by the 2 people that are supposed to love and protect them, there own parents. The reason I am starting this now is because I saw a video about a little baby girl named Kelsey Briggs and the reason it touched me was because I am a grandmother and my granddaughter is the age that little Kelsey was when she was killed and I don't want to see this happen to any other kid. Now I'm going to tell you about this little girls story that touched my heart. This beautiful happy little girl was stolen from her family, by the hands of her own mother and stepfather. Allegations of abuse while her father was away serving our county in Iraq went unheard. After being removed from the home she shared with her mother and step father- amid the numerous allegations, she was returned to the very people responsible now for her death. It wasn't just a tragic death, it was a preventable horrifying act. A brave soldier fighting for his country returned home to this. That is no welcome for any of our heroes. A little girl was murdered by her mother and stepfather, with nine months of documented abuse, while her dad was in Iraq. The little girl was described as having significant bleeding in her intestines and bruising on her ribs, the front of her chest, side and back. Records indicate that she had bruises in other areas of her body and medical examiners believe she suffered from possible kneeing, punching or squeezing. Kelsey Smith Briggs was 2 years old, and she died hours before her father returned from serving in Iraq.

All I'm trying to do is bring awareness to people about a BIG problem that happens to kid...toddler's....even newborns...so join me in the fight against child abuse!! If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to find an answer for you. Thanks!!found this stripes layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotComments
