I found this story on facebook about a beautiful five month old baby girl, and was first moved to tears, then moved to speak up. Watch the video below about this poor child. Warning: graphic content, may disturb some readers.
As a mother of three precious children, I, as I’m sure all of you cannot imagine how this could happen. How could family do this to their child? How could family watch this situation and not intervene? How could they not take a single photo of such a sweet girl, not once in her entire life? How could they refuse their little girl the love from her community even in death? The angel inside her memorial cage tells us to be quiet, don’t speak about this. Bollocks to that.
We should speak about this loudly. We owe it to this baby to remember how lovely she is. How undeserving.
We owe it to all children everywhere to speak up if we know it’s happening.
All these bastards who did this to her want, is for people to pretend it never happened. When we hear about child abuse, it’s common for people to say exactly what they’d like to see done to these evil people. Well, I say, speak up! That is their punishment. But more importantly, we must speak up so that little Brianna’s life, which was void of joy, protection and love, can amount to something positive. To take away the pain of the children who are still living, still being mistreated.
Let’s hug our children tighter after watching this. And let’s report child abuse. Speak for those who have no voice.
Oh, that poor dear baby… to be born to such monsters. It’s inconceivable that someone could hurt a child so badly. It makes my heart ache.
Mrs Mayhem, I feel the same:( I can’t understand how this could occur to some people.

I read this story just a few days ago and was emotionally torn up about it. I can’t see to get Brianna’s pictures outta my head. Her story was such a tragedy, and something that could have been prevented. She should have never had to endure the pain that her family members put her through. She was a blessing that they failed to see. What did she do to deserve the way that they treated her? nothing. she was so precious and I am sure she would have been a joy to someone had they given her up for adoption. I have 3 daughters of my own (1,4,5) and I would never let anyone hurt them. Where is the justice? her mother only got 27 years!!!! 27 years for the rest of Brianna’s life that she help destroy. where is the justice in that?
Stephanie, I don’t think there is any justice. It makes me so sad.

Oh fuck. I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. I don’t understand, cannot understand. I just don’t want this to be true. But you’re right – we must speak up.
