Pray for little Jasmyne

Mmmmmmm, pie!
As some of you know, I work with abused and neglected children. Here is the latest one. The following is a quote from the newspaper, obviously not written by Jasmyne, but by the reporter.

My name is Jasmyne. I am only two years old. Yesterday, my mom let her boyfriend out of rage beat me and leave me on the floor half dead. Later God made mom take me to the hospital. They don't know if I will pull through. I am in UT Hospital in Knoxville, TN. The police have the guy and my mom, but I need help still. All I am asking for is one minute of your time and a simple prayer for me that I can grow up."


Little Jasmyne has cranial injuries, swelling and hemorrhaging of the retina, her pelvis is fractured, swollen brain, both legs and one arm are broken.

The mother sat there and watched her boyfriend beat this little child half to death. She sat there and watched.

Very sad. I can't believe some people.

The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D

I didn't know that you were involved in helping kids like Jasmyne.

She might not be able to say "thank you and God bless you", but I can.

Thank you and God bless you, Larry.
Let us begin anew, remembering on both sides that civility is not a sign of weakness.

Loving God, eternal Healer, hold this little one in the palm of your hand. Give the medical team caring for her wisdom, discernment, and compassion, in order to be your physical presence to her now. Give her peace and safety in her life, in a new and loving environement so she can grow up to be the person you want her to be, free from the evil that she's had to endure so far. Let her feel your presence and know your love throughout her days.

What will become of her, Larry? Will she go into foster care? I'd imagine so, but one never knows.

Well done Dewey, thanks.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

Thank you, Dewey. And everyone.

I don't know yet what will happen to her. I know what will happen to the guy who did it if he gets out on bail, though..

Right now, everyone is just hoping she lives.

I knew a former sheriff once who had to leave the child abuse department for the same reason. Just too taxing on the soul. But please try to hang in there. You can't stop it, true, but these kids need adults they can trust.

I remember a case well from about ten years ago...boyfriend broke a leg and both arms on a two year-old. Upon examination, they also noted some older breaks that had mended and burn scars from cigarettes were noted on the body. The child also had some internal injuries and later died.

The boyfriend got life without parole, mom got twenty years.

I'd have done away with them for free...

Update: Little Jasmyne is coming around, and is talking. Seems she is going to be ok.

I cannot imagine the mental trauma she has also endured. She has already had a lifetime of hurts.
