Powerful, and beautiful tribute

There is a book out about Kelsey called "A deadly game of tug of war". anyone read it? I saw it on amazon.com

I have absolutely no interest in reading this book, or buying it. Where are the proceeds going? I hope that jerk off judge who wrote it is not profitting from this girls death. I actually emailed the publisher asking if Judge Key was profiting off this horrible death and never got a response.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK. What's the point in reading this? It is a terrible reminder of how the judicial and social system failed this little girl.

That's rediculous!! I think every penny should go to the father to pay for his couseling... i am sure he has to be suffering.

well, the book wasn't getting good reviews I can tell you that.

 

[Nocgirl]

Does anyone have any updates on this? Did Rae Dawn have her baby? Hopefully her rights are being severed and the baby is being adopted by a loving family.

I hope neither family got that baby and like you said...it was adopted by someone who has waited a long time to have a baby.

A JUDGE wrote a book about Kelsey????????????????? WTH?? If anyone was going to write a book it should have been the gramma or daddy. I've never heard of such a thing. Did he/she hold up for the system....no doubt!

 

[Nocgirl]

Yes the judge wrote a book on this. It's on Amazon. This case ended his judicial career. I have not read the book but the reviews are not good, it is poorly written. The judge, sadly, does alot of name calling and badmouthing the Briggs family, which contributed to his very poor handling of the case, and the death of a little girl.

Hey everyone, I have been following this case for some time. It kinda took over my thoughts Kelsey has a way of haunting you...
I read the book, I have been to both families websites, yet I cant get enough info..All the facts even seem to be clouded.

What was your take on the book? I still can't believe that the judge wrote a book about the case. Probably wanted people to think he was a good guy that just got picked on. In my mind that judge is just another no good judge that holds the lives of people in his hands...someone who should never have ever been put in that position. There seem to be so many of them. I'll bet he doesn't even acknowledge that he played a huge part in beautiful little Kelsey's death. The whole thing is just sickening and a real heartbreaker. Her death haunts me to this day. It never should have happened and wouldn't have if the family had gotten a decent judge who cared about Kelsey.

 

[staticgirl50]

Well- The book did not reveal anything I did not already know, but it was interesting to understand it all from his POV. I really can not fault the Judge actually.With what he was given, he made the right choices. The Briggs camp never showed for the last hearing, so his hands really were tied.

No one even knows who Kelsey was with when her leg, then legs were broken. So at this point it was still just unknown, who was doing what.

The judge saw Raye Dawn, following the rules and doing everything to get Kelsey back, then the Briggs were just doing only some of it. I think to the judge it was literally a tug of war. No one really looked at MP often enough, and they should have. Why was the abuse happening so much after he came around?!!! The only fault, I see is that since no one knew WHO it was abusing Kelsey she should have been taken away from ALL involved.

Yet we also see what happens when they do that...Its just so sad.

 

[Bobbisangel]

Was Kelsey's dad away in the service when all of this court stuff was taking place?

 

[staticgirl50]

I know her father was away, but Grandma Briggs and Grandpa Briggs were there. I personally find it odd how the Briggs versionof the obit mentions, Kelsey loved to bite?????!!!! HUH? Who does that?

That video made me physically ill. Stomach in knots. Chronicles her whole short little life in pictures. Cried the entire time. RIP little angel.

There is pure evil in this world and it never senses to stun me.

Me too. MG...not sure that video points to the truth. Lots of people pointing fingers in this. Very disturbing none the less, a child, a precious child was murdered by people who God entrusted them with..EVIL yes...
