Ohhhh......Those pictures of Jhessye when she lived with the ones who really loved her....makes this case so much more heartbreaking. Jhessye had a happy contented life, a life filled with love and laughter. Jhessye had a child's fairytale storybook life. Her bright-eyed beauty shone through, and those butterfly bows in her hair made her a true princess.
Then Jerice, evil bio mom with the heart of a Tasmanian Devil, swooped in and snatched Jhessye out of her warm protective environment and placed her in her lair. I believe that Jerice must have been insanely jealous of this precious child. Jhessye had the look of being loved, well-cared for, of knowing that she was special. Jerice was determined that she was going to "put Jhessye in her place", Jhessye was not going to be allowed to be better looking, spotlessly clean in pretty dresses, better mannered, bright and happy. I believe that Jerice was determined to slowly destroy Jhessye, bit by bit - to erase everything good that had come with Jhessye when Jerice snatched her away. Turning Jhessye into a ragamuffin street child wasn't enough for Jerice, she had to finally physically torture and destroy Jhessye, literally, bit by bit. Thankfully, the evidence against Jerice continues to be recovered, bit by bit.
Poor Jhessye, she had the best of things for such a short time in her life. The contrast must have been painful and extremely frightening for our Butterfly Princess.
Jhessye suffered greatly, she was tortured and beaten, her beauty destroyed in the process. Jerice disposed of Jhessye like she was trash, because symbolically that is what Jerice, at the height of evilness, wanted for Jhessye.
Let this battered broken little girl, sweet innocent Jhessye, be found soon. She needs to be given a decent burial, this poor darling child.
Jerice, you will spend the rest of your miserable life behind bars for what you did to Jhessye. She was so much better than you, and even now, she is loved while you are despised for the evil creature you are. You tried to erase all evidence of Jhessye, but her spirit is too strong. In spite of your efforts, the torture, being stripped of all dignity, Jhessye has gained more love from others.
Jhessye, little darlin': we are waiting for you to be found so the cleansing healing process can begin. We will never forget you.
IMHO
