GUILTY TX - Sherin Mathews, 3, Richardson, 7 Oct 2017 #9

[2Hope4]

So, the rest of the family must feel Sherin was worth losing, but they won't lose the adults... sad state of affairs. Priorities in wrong order, IMO. Little Sherin needs a voice, and thus far, the state is the only one providing that for her. Shame on the adults that knew, and did nothing. Shame on those continuing to cover her abuse.

I found that article interesting as well, especially this part:

"Manoj Abraham and Nissy T Abraham have been in close contact with the adoptive parents of Sherin Mathews before, during and after the murder,” Mr. Ray said.

During the murder. During.

India to cancel OCI cards of Sherin Mathews’ foster parents, relatives in U.S.

*Edited to add article/source*

Question: I'm not sure what it means that the OCI cards to be cancelled. Does that mean they CAN'T go back or they MUST go back? TIA

From what I understand, India does not allow dual-citizenship. Because of that, they have PIO (now OCI cards) for people who are originally from India but were granted citizenship elsewhere.
The benefits of the OCI card, according to this website:
Indian Visa | India Visa Application | Faqs | Oci | General Oci Questions | What Are The Benefits Of An Oci

"The following benefits will be allowed to an OCI card holder:

• Multiple entry, multi-purpose lifelong visa to visit India
• Exemption from reporting to Police authorities for any length of stay in India
• Parity with NRIs in financial, economic and educational fields except in the acquisition of agricultural or plantation properties."

It seems as though they will no longer receive the benefit of visiting India as often/for as long as they please without obtaining a visa, but I'm not sure. Hopefully someone with better knowledge can better explain.

According to this article
India to cancel OCI cards of Sherin Mathews’ foster parents, relatives in U.S.
They were looking to make the recommendation of blacklisting them, which I believe means they would not be able to gain entry for even just a short visit.

Yes, this is a benefit for foreign passport holders of Indian origin to resettle back in India without the hassle of constant visa renewals and other restrictions.

I believe WMs parents are settled back in their home state of Kerala using this OCI card permission.

My speculation is that this is a coordinated effort by the US authorities and Indian Consulate to encourage the affected parties to cooperate with the legal process in the US. The could use the carrot of OCI card and the stick of Black List for Indian visa to get the friends and family to talk to the law enforcement in Texas. JMO

Our dear itty-bitty Sherin lived in Texas, with a vibrant Hispanic culture.

This year, I'm planning a Day of the Dead dinner, including recipes from both of my Grandmothers and both of my husband's.

Now I'm including something Indian to celebrate Sherin's brief walk with us!

Laughing, that's such a heartfelt thing to do. I bet non of the family would have thought of doing this, or anything like.

I can see in my minds eye the table and dishes full of food but alas, I don't know what I'm looking at. So, come on, tell us all, after the Day of the Dead Dinner, try to send a photo or tell us what foods you had. I love food and I love to read recipes, haha sad I know.

Seriously some old day recipes would be great.

The menu already includes two dishes from an earlier hotel-themed event: from maternal grandmother to Mom to me comes Waldorf Salad ( with the grapes cut lengthwise to take the seeds out because Grandma lived before seedless grapes ) alongside Watergate Salad, a favorite of paternal Grandmother.

You get the idea!

ETA: do we need a thread for this? What would you prepare in honor of a person whose life ended up wrapped into a thread here? A princess-ey cake for JonBenet, perhaps?

I'm feeling hungry already, I love Waldorf Salad but will have to take a look at Watergate. I only know of one Watergate and it ain't salad lol . Good luck with the event.

Just reminding you that today, or sometime around today, is the anniversary of Baby Sherin's death. Please don't forget her.

Now, a year later we're taking a look at what has happened and what is to come in this case.

Sickening. Heartless.

I've seen enough instances of evil doers getting boomeranged (is there such a word??) by their own bad karma. Not that I like wishing ill on anyone.

We'll see what happens with this case.

Still wondering if the 12/9/18 hearing is going to go - as that falls on a Sunday.

Maybe someone was looking at the 2019 calendar....

Thanks for this update. It is interesting to note the reason given for the action against the Abraham couple, friends of the Mathews


And another report also adds
India to cancel OCI cards of Sherin Mathews’ foster parents, relatives
What a disgusting putrid lot these characters are. Zero regard for the sweet life that was ruthlessly snuffed out.
