William Pitts ‏@william_pitts · 14s14 seconds ago
pros: #JericeHunter didn't plan on school noticing Jhessye was missing. She had to make Jhessye "disappear"

 

[SwampMama]

From the facebook page where Jhessye's loved ones gather to post (and shared here with their permission). They love this little girl so much. My heart continues to go out to them. What a better place this world would be if more children were raised by people like the loving family that raised Jhessye. What a better place the world would be if monsters like jerice were NEVER allowed to even be around a child and that child abusers were locked away forever!






ETA: you have to click on the pics to read what they say but it is well worth the click. Pic # 1 has this beautiful poem:
As we are brought together,
Our prayer is much the same.
To find justice for a princess,
Jhessye is her name.

We will not be brought to silence,
We will fight to rise above.
We claim justice for Sweet Jhessye,
The Angel whom we love.

<3 Team Jhessye
