Oh Renee, tears are sliding down my face........This is an urgent wake up call to all! Everyone with a heart for all God's children needs to watch this! Child abuse's reality, the names and faces of it's victims, all to often goes unseen. We read about it, we hear others talking about it but how many of us have actually wept with remorse after seeing their precious innocent faces? As with abortion, so it is with child abuse...... What we don't or won't see, we don't know or understand the reality and then we fail to muster within ourselves, the urgently needed which will then compell us into action to end it....... Thank you so much for posting this to my group.. And may God bless you as you labor to save His children from the results of unchanged hearts....

All I can say is "an eye for an eye".....
Thank you Renee for shareing this.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 25, 2009, 12:13pm EDT
To be honest Gary I would love to be the one to do the eye for the eye. Sounds cruel, sounds hateful and maybe to some sounds like I am not Christian but this disgusts me not only for the man who did it but that he will be out in 7 1/2 years.

I made this mother a promise and I will keep it please read below in the comments and if you can help please do.

How horrendous that he couldn't be bothered to get this child help right away, never mind what he did to this poor baby. Sad that taking a life like this didn't merit more of a penalty, gee whiz, 7 1/2 years is a slap on the wrist. So sad, so young...
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 25, 2009, 12:15pm EDT
You are right 7 1/2 years isn't anything. They go back to court August 28th and if I can be there I will. We know the plea bargain and now is the date for the sentencing.

I made this mother a promise and I will keep it please read below in the comments and if you can help please do.
Suzi B. Jul 25, 2009, 2:05am EDT

Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 25, 2009, 12:16pm EDT
The poor baby and the poor mother. I have done a lot of crying since she sent me the plea bargain news.

I made this mother a promise and I will keep it please read below in the comments and if you can help please do.

Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 25, 2009, 12:17pm EDT
It is a real sad one but please I made this mother a promise and I will keep it please read below in the comment and if you can help please do.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 25, 2009, 12:20pm EDT
I made this mom a promise as I said and I need all of your help. First is this video, next I am going to write an article regarding SBS, signs of it, an educational piece. I will include Brynden's video in it.

Last night I was talking to his mother and I made her a promise. That I would keep his story heard. We keep his story heard then she feels a part of him is still alive. We want to educate people through his story. Please if you will pass this and the article that should be posted today on to at least one person. I would appreciate it. I don't care how you pass it on, where you pass it on, if you will just do it. Many has said how they want to help this will help honest it will.
Sandy and John J. Jul 25, 2009, 3:13pm EDT
I will do all I can, Renee to get this out to as many folks as possible! I've already sent out emails from personal email account, with the link attached.. Did you also use the various group notifications on gather for this post? I would be happy to send out more mass emails to various groups if you feel that may help as well...
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 25, 2009, 3:51pm EDT
Thank you Sandy, I used the bookmarks and sent to various areas. I didn't send emails to groups however. Any help at all would be appreciated. If this can just save one life then Brynden's Story was worth telling.
Susan Roberts Jul 25, 2009, 4:57pm EDT
I sent this on to my prayer group and the people on my e mail lists. There are people all over the world that will be viewing this now. Thank you so much for sharing this and letting us help get the word about abuse out. GOD BLESS YOU
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 25, 2009, 5:39pm EDT
Thank you Susan this means a lot to her and me both.
Marilyn M. Jul 26, 2009, 2:53pm EDT
Renee, I've commented about this before, but I think that all young people need to see this - while they're in high school and having sex ed. They need to understand how fragile life is.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 26, 2009, 4:03pm EDT
Yes they do
Shirley U Understand Me S. Jul 26, 2009, 2:57pm EDT
I wrote a research paper with the subject of Crimes Against Children. There was way more information than I could put in the paper with the time I had to write it.

One of the things that stood out to me is that SO MANY CHILDREN LIKE THIS LITTLE BOY DIE AT THE HANDS OF THE MOTHER'S BOYFRIEND....OR THE HUSBAND IF UNRELATED TO THE CHILD.

There is no emotional bond, they feel frustrated and angry being left with the child while the woman works, etc. And most do not get very much time in prison for the crimes they commit.

This story is all too common. And that is so very sad.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 26, 2009, 4:05pm EDT
I have heard of cases where babysitters or babysitters boyfriends done the same. I really wish even young babysitters they would make watch these videos and educate. I have deiced that if I had a young babysitter watch James for even an hour they will watch these videos. If the parents don't agree then I don't need them to watch him
Angela A. Jul 26, 2009, 3:05pm EDT
Such a sad thing for anyone to have to live through.
If only they hadn't been so cruel..
Simon T. Jul 26, 2009, 3:08pm EDT
When good people do nothing evil wins. There should be more good people, like all of you here, who stand up together, doing all that we can to protect those who who can't speak for themselves. The story of Brynden Tyler Gibson should never be forgotten.

God Bless you Brynden in His Light and loving arms.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 26, 2009, 4:08pm EDT
You are so correct Simon Brynden's story and so many more like his should never be forgotten. I just hope and pray someone learns from his story.
Renee (Pres of Baby James Foundation) ~. Jul 26, 2009, 4:09pm EDT
By the way I posted an article yesterday on Shaken Baby Syndrome that has more information on it as well as other children and how some of them live with the results.
Jan S. Jul 26, 2009, 5:18pm EDT
This is tragic and could have been avoided. A lot of education is needed to prevent this crime from happening again.
Crying babies can cause caregivers to feel stressed and helpless. Rather than shaking the baby, he should have put him in his crib, closed the door and calmed himself and/or called someone to help. This should be included in a mandatory class for parents and caregivers.

Thanks for posting to Fugitives from Ignorance, Conformity, and Peer Pressure

René Allen Sep 5, 2009, 9:43am EDT
This is a sad and tragic story Renee. Very, very hard to conceive of.
Barbara B. Sep 26, 2009, 12:13pm EDT
My heart is aching right now Renee, for Brynden and his Mom.
How could anyone inflict such abuse on a helpless child ?? I do
pray for his Mom and all the other Mom's that have gone through
this Renee. God Bless you dear friend.
