This discussion speaks about child abuse so please just know, I won't be offended if you decide not to read on. I've been trying to get some homework done and finally, with only an hour's nap last night, I have been awake all night and finally finished it. I actually have class today so I am glad it's all done, ready to be printed and handed in. We were given a true story to read about a little girl named Kiesha Abrahams and we had to write about the types of abuse this little girl was going through and what the indicators were. Then from there had to write who let the little girl down. Meaning, this girl kept getting back into the hands of her abusive mother so had to look at who failed to keep her safe. And then we had to write about what we would do if Kiesha was attending our childcare service. So who is Kiesha? Kiesha was a beautiful little girl who unfortunately had an abusive mother ( Kristi ). Once Kristi has carried Kiesha by the neck and dumped her on the lounge and when Kiesha tried to crawl away again, Kristi decided to bite her on the shoulder. Over the years Kristi was abusing her daughter by giving her black eyes, twisting her arms, verbally abusing her, not allowing her to visit family or go to school and more. Then one night, Kiesha was murdered by her mother. But the mother, instead of just coming clean, decided to tell the police her daughter was kidnapped. The truth was ( and this came out during a confession later ), Kiesha had been kicked in the head a few times, so much so her jaw broke in two places. She died overnight, her stepdad stuffed her body into a suitcase and left it in the little girl's bedroom for 5 days, then took it to a bush land near by where he would bury her. Kiesha was only 6 years old. Both the mother and stepdad have been jailed. There is way more to this story but that is how it ended. It's an Australian story but not sure if the story was taken elsewhere around the world. This also happened many years ago. I have cried many times reading this story and writing about it. It is 3:35am now and I have finally finished typing it all up. I had written so many notes about this story making sure I understood it correctly. I'm just proud of myself for all the effort I put into this including doing further research of this story online. The "mother" really is scum! Rumour has it she may have even murdered her first born ( Ayden ). It was put down to SIDS but, knowing what she is like it wouldn't surprise me she did something to him too. I have yet to answer my previous post about my Poppy, I'm sorry I will do that later today or tomorrow. I hope everyone is well and safe. Catch you all later. ****photo is mine of the story we were given and all my notes****
