A lost Mother and Daughter- In the case of missing 8-year-old Relisha Rudd, emotional scars transcend generations

“Where the hell are my kids?” asks Young, a question that could apply not only to her three sons in foster care, but also to her daughter, Relisha Rudd, who disappeared in March at age 8.

Wow. :twocents:

I can't believe after all this time she is still missing. Praying 2015 will be the year she will be found and those responsible will be punished.

Wow. :twocents:

That was exactly how I felt Wow. Relisha never had a chance for a stable life. Her Mom didn't have the skills to raise a family.

I hope they find Relisha soon. After reading the story about mom, I have great empathy for her. I wish her happiness and safety as well.

While I want to hope and pray this is NOT what happened to Relisha, we've discussed the possibility so often, I thought I would share.
Blessed by Relisha, wherever she is today !

We are fourty-one days away from the anniversary of last date on which Relisha was seen alive (March 1, 2014).

D.C. police chief Cathy Lanier said there is no confirmed sightings of Tatum and Relisha together after March 1, and no sightings of Relisha at all after that date.

I wonder if, as Shamika implies, she is doing as the courts have ordered and is working hard to get her kids back, if she's off drugs and now she is a different person. The idea that she is looking back over her own past foster case files has got to be bringing strong emotions to the surface that she has buried with drugs and alcohol for a long time.

Thinking of you, Baby Girl. You are NOT forgotten! :heartbeat:

Bumping for Relisha! :bump:

We can hope, but I'm not going to take that bet.

Just saw a missing poster for Relisha on the justice network. Glad to know she hasn't been given up on and they are still working to spread the word.

I agree. Her mom had no skills, and is only now, after giving birth to four children, learning how to look after them because she had suffered a terrible childhood because her own mom had no child rearing skills. So Relisha, begging for attention from her teachers, trying so very hard to look after her little brothers, had no adult in her extended family who would actually look after her.

Sorry, but I think that the information given in this article make the meeting of adults in Relisha's family (mentioned in earlier threads) sound more ominous. (I'm going to have to go back and find the source later this weekend.)

Heartbreaking case. Praying she's found alive. Why hasn't the mother been charged with anything?

:bump: WHERE IS RELISHA?! You are not forgotten, baby girl! :heartbeat:

 

[popsicle]

It's been a year baby girl, you are so not forgotten. Praying you are found soon.

 

[sallye818]

Wow it has been a year! And it's been a long year wondering about and praying for Relisha. No, you're not forgotten. I still think about you often and pray for your safe return, or at the very least, your opportunity to rest peacefully and appropriately.

Relisha, we all remember you.
We can't hold you in our arms,
so
we'll hold you in our hearts.
