April Jones missing from Wales

 

 5 year old April Jones was abducted on monday the 1st of October 2012 at about 7pm.

She was playing on her bike with a friend near her home in the Brynn Y Gog estate in the Welsh town of  Machynlleth when she was seen getting into a light-coloured van.

She has not been seen since.

 She was wearing a purple knee-leght coat (pictures above), a white polo shirt and black trousers.

A man called Mark Bridger was first arrested for taking April and is now arrested on suspicion of April's murder.

But we should not give up hope! We havent been given any information that proves she's not alive anymore. We should continue to pray that she will be found soon, safe and sound.
I personally will not lose my hope before a body is found.

If you have any information about April's abduction please call:

Even the smallest detail could help find her! Dont be afraid to speak out!

Little victim of child abuse; Lily Lynette Furneaux

Lily Lynette Furneaux

May 14, 2008 - November 20, 2010

Lily was a little girl full of true vibrancy. She had the smile that lit up any room.
Lily was born on May 14 2008 to her Mother Lauren Furneaux and father Jeff Wolfenbarger. Lilys mom Lauren fell in love with Lily since day one. Lily grew and grew becoming smarter day by day. She loved her mommy and she sure did show it. Lily loved to watch Glee and sing a long with mommy. She also enjoyed watching her Uncle Dodo sing. She also enjoyed going to the beach.
She was always so happy & always smiling.

But on  November 20, 2010 the life of the Furneaux family was changed forever..

Little Lilly died while in the care of her stepmother, Renee King. She died from blunt force trauma resulting from being struck in the head by an unknown object after being sexually assaulted by multiple objects.

Renee King, allegedly the only one present in the home at the time of Lily’s death, is being charged with felony murder, first-degree child abuse, and first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Together we have the power to stop child abuse!
90% of child abuse is preventable.

In loving memory of Anaya - Krabbe Leukodystrophy awareness

Anaya Cassin Potts
August 2009 - November 2011

Baby Anaya was diagnosed with Infantile Krabbe Leukodystrophy in May 2010.
She first started showing symptoms in February of 2010 at the age of 4 months.
This rare disease causes demylination in the brain due to lack of a specific enzyme required to metabolize fats. It can strike families with no medical history of any neurological problems. Two healthy parents who both carry a recessive gene for this enzyme deficiency can produce a perfectly healthy looking newborn, who, at the age of three or four months, will begin showing symptoms of Krabbe Leukodystrophy.

The outlook for kids with Krabbe is bleak. In most cases a baby diagnosed with infantile Krabbe will develop normally for a few months and then lose their motor skills, the ability to hold their heads up, the ability to smile, laugh or speak, followed by loss of sight and hearing. Seizures may or may not occur and average life expectancy is less than 2 years.

Anaya gained some skills and lost them. She was fed through a G- tube and lost her sight. She struggles mostly with excessive mucous production in her throat which sometimes blocks her airway.

Little Anaya gained her angel wings on November 13, 2011.

Krabbe Leukodystrophy is treatable with stem cell transplant if it is tested for at birth.
Be sure to ask for supplemental newborn screening for new babies.
Anaya could have been saved, had she been tested.

Rest in peace Anaya  ♥

Doctors deny Amelia 'Mia' Rivera from having a kidney transplant - because she is mentally disabled

At just three years old Mia Rivera has not many months to live,

But doctors refuse to carry out the vital kidney transplant she needs to survive - because she is disabled.

She has Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes mental and physical developmental delays. Many sufferers do not live beyond the age of two.

Her family stand willing to donate their own organs.

But when Mia's mother went to their local hospital in Philadelphia last week to discuss the transplant, doctors told her they will not recommend transplantation for the little girl.

Chrissy Rivera told ABC News she initially 'thought we were just finding out how a transplant works and how we could be a donor.'

'But then, I was told we couldn't because she was mentally retarded,' she said. 'Those were the exact words on a piece of paper.' 

Mia who has two brothers, aged 11 and 6 cannot walk or talk and has a gastrointestinal tube because she cannot eat by herself. '

'But she smiles and plays and recognizes us and loves her brothers,' said Rivera. 'They love to play with her.'

  

Rivera believes doctors' preconceptions about Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome are 'pretty dated.' 

'There are people in their sixties and plenty of them in young adulthood in their 20s, 30s and 40s,' she said.

'Any mother wants the best for her child and will do whatever it takes to get it,' said Rivera, '

Mia isn't to blame for this. She didn't want ask for this syndrome and all we ask for is the right to fair medical treatment.'

'The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia said it 'does not disqualify potential transplant candidates on the basis of intellectual abilities,' but refused to comment on the specific case.

Please keep Mia and her family in your thoughts & prayers during this difficult time!

The story of Anonymous Baby Girl (Ökant Flickebarn)

December 21, 2002 in Sweden two women found a body of a baby girl from underpass. The baby had been only few hours old when she died, cause of death was abuse.

Police did get her mothers DNA but they still dont know who she is.
In Janury 2007 they fot 3 anonymous phone calls. The woman who called them told that she was the mother of that Baby Girl. Polices believe the woman told the truth as she was really emotional when she told what had happened to her daughter and she knew things that only police knew.
She told that she had given birth at home and when she was breastfeeding her daughter for the first time the babys father took the baby away from her and that was the last time she ever saw them.
Police thinks that the woman might be from Finland as she spoke Swedish in Finnish accent.

Her funeral was held in 2003.

Anonymous Baby Girl rests in Kungsängen Kirks cemetery in northwest Stockholm.

Rest in peace Ökänt Flickebarn.

HELP POLICE!
Police Sture Olovsson hopes that the Baby's mother or anyone who might know something would call to this number: +46733315054

We have always been told that television can harm our childrens health. But never imagine in a physical way?

McKenna Jodell Fox  

27/12/2007 -27/09/2008

September 27th 2007 was the day McKennas parents world came crashing down. Mckenna was only 9 months old. While moving a TV her mother was reaching behind to pull the cords started to fall, she tried to push it back but it was too heavy so she thought oh who cares its just a TV not realizing her daughter had crawled up next to her so the TV fell on Mckenna. She put a good fight but it was too much for her to take and she passed away in her mothers arms 6 hours later.
As witten by her mother Ashley: "Our lives were forever changed in a matter of seconds. Life will never be the same. She had a smile that would light up the room and a laugh that melted your heart. She was funny and smart and the kind of baby everyone wished they had. I never took her for granted I enjoyed every moment with her. I never wished her grow up because I knew it would go by so fast. I loved that little girl with every inch of my soul. She is missed by so many and will never ever be forgotten."

In loving memory of McKenna

 Mikayla Weber

4 year old Mikayla is lucky to be alive after suffering horrific head injuries when a 30kg television fell on her.

The television had been sitting on top of a chest of drawers when it fell more than a metre on to Mikayla's head on January 20, 2010.

Her mother rushed to the room and found her daughter lying under the giant set, with just her feet visible.

"She had blood coming out of her mouth, ear and her nose and I thought she was dying," Ms Weber said.

Mikayla also had a large gash on the side of her head.

When Mikayla's chest suddenly heaved with a big breath, Ms Weber realised her daughter had not even been breathing.

She arrived at the Royal Children's Hospital in a critical condition, and doctors told Ms Weber they did not know if they could do anything for Mikayla.

"I never imagined in my wildest dreams a television could do so much damage," Ms Weber said.

Mikayla had surgery to repair the damaged brain lining, and part of the surrounding skull was removed to allow room for her brain to swell, neurosurgeon Wirginia Maixner said.

A drain was inserted to help alleviate the pressure in her brain from the swelling.

She was in an induced coma for six days, her mother by her side, hovering between life and death.

Mikayla now has her skull repaired and it making a good recovery.

Doctors hope she will make a full recovery, but given the severity of her injury, it could take some time and she could be left with subtle deficits.


The advice tonight: just take a look aroung the back of your TV, see if there is an anchor point you can use; push the top, could a kid reach that? Kids are very clever, they can get on chairs, up draws and everything. So take a few minutes to fix it yourself or get someone to do it for you.

Also TVs placed in objects not to desing to hold them are big danger.
