                 REST IN PEACE, SWEETHEART
  Your name spelled backwards is HEAVEN and I know you are there with our Lord in
   Heaven.

This is so sad. If it was one of the RSO that it sounds like they suspect, he was sentenced to 15 yrs, spent 5. And not supossed to be around children under 17. I DON'T believe the desires of this kind of person ever changes, no matter how much time they spend incarcerated. What they learn is next time don't leave a witness. How will we ever protect our children from these preditors. They're babes who cannot defend themselves. How can we do that for them??? What laws can we change. They won't make lifers of these people, there just isn't enough room. Our only defense against them is communication with our children, not to talk to strangers. But their not always stangers to a child, especially when that child is being groomed by an artist. And you can't identify them by looking, they could look like your sweet grandpa or anyone you know. So what do we do??? I'm still for tattooing the forehead, a mark that can easily identify the high class of offenders. Something we can teach children to be aware off. No-one ever hears these children being abducted, probably because they don't make a sound when being coerced into going. Maybe if they see a mark that identifies the big bad wolf they would scream and make a racket, calling alert to themselves. Just my opinion, but we need to start somewhere to find a solution.

I totally agree Perry, but a tat is something they could cover with makeup.  Remember those dog cones they use on dogs, so they don't chew on a certain area of the body? Maybe something like that, that they cannot remove? Course, it won't change.  The lawmakers snub this issue and these pervs get chance after chance.  It's disgusting.

The place to start is the same place that I started with my two kids.  A parent gets them into a good self defense course.  Then there are also programs that can help them get out of bad situations like the little girl that got out of the trunk a couple of years back.

The best offense is a good defense and they can start learning as early as 4 to defend themselves and how to get away from people that would prey on the them.

[Marie]

In this case, and some others, how about not bringing your children around people with a record for such a crime. Most children do not scream b/c they know the person taking them. They trust them. How sad is that. These poor babies.

[perry]

I agree the best offense is a good defense, but so often children cannot identify the bad guy, and they can be overtaken so easily and fast, as can adults. And it's true there are some parents who don't protect their babes from preditors like SO's, yet there are some who do try but to no avail. I just wish there was an easy answer, this seems to be becoming rampant.

Having a tattoo wouldn't have mattered in this case if it was one of the two
s e x u a l offenders that her mother hung with and Nevaeh felt safe around because of this.  In fact, she probably would have gone with one of them willingly without any fear.

This is why the mother needs to be held accountable if in fact it turns out to be one of these two perverts.  What kind of mother is so desperate to allow s e x u a l offenders in to her life?  I understand the Grandmother had full custody of Nevaeh.  If she had full custody, there had to be a pretty bad underlying reason besides the mother doing jail time for a home invasion.  I'd like to know if the mother lived with the Grandmother and Navaeh.  If not, why was she allowed unsupervised visits?  Did anyone in that family know that Nevaeh's mother was hanging with these perv's?  If so, shame on them.

I can't imagine the fear and pain this precious child must have felt in the end, if she left with this person feeling safe.

Marie, I never realized the Nevaeh's name spelled backwards was Heaven.  I have to believe that she is in a better place now.  God rest her little soul.

I have not followed Nevaeh's case as thoroughly as I have followed Haleigh Cummings' case, but it is my understanding that her mother associated with and had Nevaeh around a KNOWN RSO. The mother knew he was an RSO! Whether he is involved in this horrific crime or not, the mother, IMO needs to be held acountable for subjecting her daughter to this criminal.

Makes me so very angry when I think about that.

Parents should be there to protect their children, and in our society today, so many fail in that miserably!

Justice for Nevaeh.

Brandi:
Can you do me a favor?  Can you find a picture of Nevaeh and make a poster to put here in memory?

Thanks so much my friend.

Aw Brandi, that's so sweet.  Thanks for taking the time to post that beautiful picture of Nevaeh.  Her mom at least got one thing right, her name.  She certainly looks like a little piece of heaven.

Brandi, BEAUTIFUL WORK for a beautiful girl. May God hold you always in his arms sweet Nevaeh!
