This is a video about a 5 month old girl named Brianna Lopez. I just heard about her story via Facebook and it captured my heart - not in a good way. She was raped by her uncle and grandfather then tortured by her mother. Her grandmother and other uncles knew about the abuse and kept the secret. All people listed got less than 5 years in prison. The shocking part was that they didn't want to have a funeral for her so the town got together and had her buried and decorated her plot. When the family found out, they put a CAGE over her burial ground. I wanted to share this story in hopes that it will open eyes and make people think - child abuse is real, it is still around, and nobody is immune. If you think you know someone who is abusing or has been abused, tell somebody!
This has also made me think about all of those who choose to have abortions and all the babies out there who never have the opportunity to live a life. It makes me think about how although little Brianna's body may be in a cage, she is in a deeper place in the arms of Jesus and her body is the only thing left there. It also made me think about the child that I lost and how important it is to keep her alive in my heart through my works for others. I do plan to share her photo today and I have photoshopped it but it is still very hard to show. Please respect our decision for showing and keep comments moderated. Please do not share the photo or the website with anyone else. Hold your babies tight tonight - life is precious and tomorrow is not promised.
This made me cry. How someone could be so cruel and heartless, is far beyond me, especially to a defenseless baby that has never done anything to anyone. I would gladly have taken that baby, as I'm sure many people would have. I hope they realize that one day they will be judged for what they've done, and that little Briana will get the justice she truely deserves.
