To all,
I have not been on this site much this week and there is a reason for that. I know I am sometimes abrasive, especially to certain factions on this site, but right now I am completely rattled. My entire family is in deep need for prayer from as many of my fellow VOL faithful as we have suffered a tragedy that one only think happens to someone else. I have dealt with death amongst family members, including my father last year. That goes with being 61. This past Monday afternoon; the youngest member of my relatively large family, My 15 month old Great Grandson Elliot was murdered. He was killed and apparently suffered before at the hands of a psychotic 18 year old that his mother had married. I have never felt such an overwhelming RAGE driven by an unbearable grief in my life. At this moment, this monster is far safer in the solitary confinement cell he has been placed in. I am a 6' 3" 260 lb ball of rage right now, and Elliot's biological father makes me look small and calm.

Please pray that I can remember that Elliot is in the arms of Jesus right now and will forever be at peace. The only thing harder that dealing with this was telling his 5 year old sister that her brother wasn't coming back home.

I am sorry to put this out here, but we am really struggling.

To face such a loss is horrible; to face the absolute depths of human depravity along with it is doubly so. It was difficult to even read your post, OP, and stories like this test the limits of my personal capacity for grace and mercy, so I can’t imagine what it must be like to live it. All I can hope for is justice in this world, and something better than my feeble notions of justice in the next.

Peace to you and your family. Peace be with little Elliot.

Dear Lord be with this family in their grief at the senseless killing of an innocent child. I have no doubt that the child is now in Your comforting arms. May the individual that caused this crime against both man and God to receive just punishment for their actions. Give strength and comfort to the child's family and keep them close in your protective embrace also.

In our Lord and Saviour's name I pray,
Amen.

So sorry. Can’t imagine how hard it is to suppress the thoughts. I had a family member quit the police department here cold turkey after devoting his entire life to the career after a case like this. It saddens me how things happen. They had tried to get a judge or dcs to get involved so many times for suspicion of this child being abused and no one batted an eye until the child was killed.

Words seem hollow for a tragedy but you’re in everyone’s prayers. Your feelings are perfectly normal. If there’s any solace in this, I believe he’s in heaven.

I wish I had the words that would make things easier, but I don’t. Evil exists in this world we live in and I’m extremely sorry that it found it’s way to you and your family. I pray for comfort and peace for your family.
