    I miscarried in 2021. I would gladly have adopted this child. These monsters. How could you be blessed with this gift and throw it away. 30 min from my home. I’m sorry sweetheart. May you and my child play in heaven. I wish things were different

      In Egypt, child sacrifice happens quite often to open a secret ancient Egyptian burial or treasures that underneath homes .
      In recent years many cases happened, a father or uncle or relative in the home that has a buried artifacts from the time of the Pharoahs , sacrifice a baby or very young child, male or female, before the age of puberty to appease the spirits ( unclean spirits) as the Christian Bible prescription of demonic entities.

      I am one who does think about this, and realize I could never do these types of jobs. It is more that just first responders or military too....health care workers, forensics, therapists and psychologists who day in and day out are exposed to darkness...some of these jobs I think are best done by people who are higher in psychopathy honestly...so they are not affected. If you are prone to depression or sensitive, these are not jobs for you.

    I pray every day for the resolution of this mystery, for the innocent little girl to receive the justice and peace she deserves. My heart aches for what she endured in her brief time on earth, and I hope she is now safe in the arms of angels and our Creator. Rest peacefully, little one. A day will come when your name will be known, shared, and the world will ensure you are never forgotten. The story of your life will emerge, and those who presumed the right to end it, to cut short your time and life, will understand what it means to have their lives taken from them. Only the death penalty seems just for the utter lack of sense, heart, love, empathy, compassion, and kindness shown by those entrusted with this child's soul when they discarded her like trash, tossing her into a river, hoping she would not resurface or be found, and that they would not be caught. But the universe, God, and the angels had a different plan, and just as they brought this tragic loss to light, they will also expose those who inflicted such acts on an innocent child.
