On another site I visit, there is a grandmother of a baby that was beaten by her father. The baby suffered from: "bleeding and swelling on her brain, multiple fractures to her ribs, bruising to her pancreas, and fractures to both of her legs." IF she survives, the Dr's said she would be severely brain damaged. We have all changed our avatars. I changed mine here as well. Feel free to do the same. If you don't know how, let me know and I'll help you. I have cried for this baby all day. She is so LITTLE Any one who wants a forward in e-mail, pm me and I will send it. There are lots of photos of her. The father is facing 6-30 years. I think he should be looking at 30 to life.

There is something wrong in the society. I think that some people should also be castrated so they never ever have baby. Who has enough anger to to such thing to own baby? It is hard to believe. I have hear too much about abuse for last few days, it makes me dizzy and angry. Humans are worst than animals.

pray for mya! - Please pray for little Mya. She is a victim of child abuse and in awful pain and may not make it.
You are so right! As a whole, the human race is a sick destructive race! I have a friend that swears that ALL humans should die and let the animals have the planet. It would be such a better place then!! lol Of course ther5e are many that are good people but as a whole is what I mean. I am just sick over this baby. I can not get it out of my mind. The one photo in a collage you can see the pain and fear in her eyes and I see that little face every time I close my eyes

What makes me angry about things like this pal , is the fact that he will get off with serving as little time as possible , If he stole money he would get a harsher sentence , Just put him in a room with some mothers and we would let him know what punishment is xx

Thank you for responding. I am just sick over this baby! I can't get it out of my mind! The poor thing is SO little. I hope he gets way more than expected. He deserves life. After all this child has had her taken away. She is alive, but what kind of life can she lead. Blind, deaf and severely handicapped?

I aqree with you, anything less than 30 wouldn't be long enough. I know I might sound horrible but I believe that man should just be put in with other Fathers. I bet he wouldn't last too long then.

That is so sad. You know the saddest thing is that this happens all the time. Parents beat their kids. Wonder how many are beat and we never hear of it?

pray for mya!! - Please send well wishes and prayer for baby Mya!
But what is so bad about this one, it isn't a kid, but a little baby and I am torn up over it. I hate to hear of any abuse of anyone no matter how old, but to beat up a defenseless baby is beyond comprehension! Here is another picture of her.

This sort of things makes me so angry and then to see he was given SIX to thirty years just angers me all the more. There should not be any number there it just should be life with no option of parole.

He hasn't been charged yet. This has just happened maybe 3 days ago. When I first heard of it, I thought she was 2 or 3 but when I saw the pictures I was shocked!! This is a very young baby!! I am devastated for her. So young and so much already in her little life. Yes any person that can hurt a baby like that some severe mental problems and needs serious help.
