Child discovery leads Alabama police to 2 bodies, arrest

Google is my best friend.

Short eyes​

Old school prison slang for a child molester. Term entered the public lexicon in the late 1970s when Miguel Piñero adapted his play Short Eyes into a movie with the same title that became a cult classic and had a popular soundtrack album performed by Curtis Mayfield, including the hit single Do Do Wap Is Strong In Here. The movie is about a pedophile, or "short eyes", who gets tortured and ultimately killed by his fellow inmates after they find out what he's in jail for.

I've also seen:

short-eyes

• printed pornographic material. Incarcerated convicts/detainees (and perhaps confined patients as well) "read" or examine their pornographic magazines so close to their faces (so as to not reveal their contents) that the inmates appear to be short-sighted. Consequently, the pornographic are termed "short-eyes." The inmates rationalize (like ostriches) that no one passing by will realize what is being avidly absorbed when the material is held so close to the face/eyes. Used in the US state of New York.
• Short eyes is the term for a Pedofile among Prisons. They are considered the worse of the worse by prisoners and will be killed if given a chance. Prison has it's code and child molesters are not welcome or safe in General Population.

thanks I'd just rather not something nefarious show up in my history and in this case I'm glad I didn't google hehe

Will she even want to stay in the U.S.? After what she’s been through, she may not feel it is safe, and may be wondering if it’s just a terrible country. I am a lifelong citizen, and some days I wonder that myself.

I agree, but there are horrible things that happen in other countries as well. If her mother had asylum, there was a reason they were in the US. This horrible person came from Mexico and committed this horrible crime against her and her family. That is not the fault of our country.

 

[cocomod]

True that. I wonder what her family situation is, poor thing. I hope she didn’t witness what happened to her mother and brother. But I guess she did, him being the monster he sounds like.

BBM - I bet she did witness it. It seems to me that LE knew what happened to her mother very quickly - probably from her eye witness account. JMHO

Nope it’s the fault of one man. (Still wondering about his friends)

Agree, not the U.S. fault - this horrific crime lies solely on Pascual-Reyes. I’m thinking through the eyes of a young girl, who has been through a horrible ordeal. She may have very little knowledge of why she’s here, or any real understanding of asylum or citizenship. Here she is a victim of violence, and I cannot imagine the trauma she has experienced physically and emotionally, in addition to losing her mother and brother to murder.

We don’t know much about why her family left Mexico, and we don’t know if Pascual-Reyes came with them or if her mother met him up here. Perhaps she was being abused in her previous country. We don’t know if she felt safe in Mexico, but I am sure she feels she was not safe here. From her perspective, she may just want to go “home” - wherever that was, wherever she can be safe.

I pray DHS / ICE places her with people she can feel safe with, whether that be back in Mexico or here in the United States with biological or foster family. I fear her getting lost in the legal / immigration system. Due to her young age, we may not learn much more about her status and recovery.

How long has she been here, do we know?

Ceja and the children came to the U.S. from Mexico in 2017.

Ceja and the children came to the U.S. from Mexico in 2017.

So 5 years ago. Her school and pretty much all she knows is here. She probably doesn’t remember much of her time in Mexico.

True. She would have been only 7. She may have good memories, bad memories, or very little memories from her time in Mexico. Aside from her brother and mother were still alive and not murdered while she was in Mexico.

Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jim Abbett said Pascual-Reyes’ immigration status doesn’t affect how his office and prosecutors will proceed with the case.

“That’s immaterial to us at this time,” Abbett said on Monday.

I hope we can carry out the death penalty here rather than deport him only to have him sneak back over the border again.

he will serve all his time prior to deportation, whether that be execution or LWOP.

Me too. All of this. The trauma this child has experienced is devastating.

I hope there is NO plea deal!

I guess we have some answers now.

A man who was illegally in the United States has been indicted on nearly a dozen charges after allegedly killing a woman and her child, then dismembering and mutilating their bodies.

The AG’s office presented evidence to a Tallapoosa County grand jury on Jan. 31, which led to the indictments. Specifically, the indictment charges that Reyes intentionally caused both victims’ deaths during the abduction and sexual assault of a minor. He’s then accused of dismembering and/or mutilating the corpses.

Wow. So horrible. No words.

poor girl - how will she ever heal from this ...

 

[Stunned]

She won’t. She will just adjust to a new reality, sadly. IMO
