What do you think about it?

Answer 1

I don't feel for her.

If she was stupid enough to leave the baby with someone else, she couldn't trust or shake the poor baby herself, she doesn't deserve my sympathy.

I don't feel for anyone who loses a child to Shaken Baby syndrome. They really should look after the baby or leave it with someone they could completely trust.

Answer 2

I am so sick of hearing bout this "poor" mother. What the heck was she thing when she left her newborn baby? OK so maybe she really did trust the guy but with no contact for 3 weeks. Now that the baby had fatal injuries she all crying about i about. What about when she walked out that innocent child's life without a backwards glance? She's the one who left her daughter with a killer. Don't get me wrong hope that man dies a slow and painful death but I don't feel for Jessica at this point. I know I am not the only one who feels this way. Lots of people are questioning the where-about of the mother during that 3 weeks, and all mom can do is blame the father. Why doesn't she tell the whole story? First saw this story on myspace, then I researched and that is where i found that Jessica abandoned her beautiful baby girl. Why? Her negligence killed that precious baby and she will live with that for the rest of her life.

Answer 3

well i dont feel sorry for her. I mean Jessica left her baby with a guy that just found out he was a father. She NEVER came back. Never, that is, until the baby was in the hospital. She had to be there for the photos that would be spread about the internet so people could feel sorry for her. If you want to feel bad for anyone, think about that poor baby girl who is now dead because no one loved her. I think she is just as responsible for this as her ‘baby’s daddy’. Not only is Jessica an illiterate idiot, but a poor excuse for a mother. Let’s hope she never has anymore children… she had her chance, and let her daughter die. The worst part about this is everyone thinks it’s about Shaken Baby Syndrome, everyone is overlooking the fact that this baby was murdered and both parents are equally responsible. Do you still feel sorry for her? Do you think I have a point? Please feel free to leave a comment! Please remember, Baby London is the only victim here, may her little soul rest peacefully.

Answer 4

Charli.... I must say that you are one heartless ******* ***** if you don't feel sorry for anyone who loses a child to Shaken Baby Syndrome! I would think, that you being a mother yourself (or so you say) that you would. Jessica Sherwood is not to blame for her daughter's death... the asshole who shook poor baby London is! How was Jessica to know that the baby's dad would get so frustrated with London that he would break six ribs, throw her on the bed and make her eye bleed? I pray that you never go thru this but if you do, don't expect anyone to feel sorry for you you callous *****!

Answer 5

i totally feel for the poor little girl. But honestly i don't really feel for the mother. Even if I didn't know her personally, she was still at fault for an innocent childs death. She did'nt actually kill the baby but she did abandon her. You don't just leave your beautiful newborn daughter with someone you "trust" and not make contact for three weeks. Especially when the person you supposedly trust was the reason you gave the baby up. Thats wrong and mothers should really think twice about what they do with their children...RIP to the beautiful baby

Answer 6

This is the first time I've heard of this story; however, that website is not very nice.

Who is even writing those entries? Does she/he know Jessica and the family?

Things are often misleading and people get wrongfully accused. There are two sides of each story.

You should not be posting that website because if Jessica is innocent then horrible rumors are being spread about her. You don't know the full story so it's best to stay out of it.

Answer 7

I don't feel sorry for her. I first read this story in a bulletin on myspace. As with any bulletin about kids I look it up on snopes to see if it is a true story or not. Snopes confirms this is true and says that she left her with the guy she had just found to be the father. Also it said she had healing rib fractures. Before that, so if she had just found this guy and he was proved to be the father, when she abandoned her daughter there then where did the other "healing" fractures come from?? I don't think she deserves sympathy.

Answer 8

This has to be one of the sadest stories I have ever heard....when I first read the article I felt sad for her and her family and ecspecially the little baby that died...now that I read that I am not sure how I feel towards her...but I still have a pain in my heart for that little baby girl that died.....what a shame that a life had to end so short....RIP Little One...

Answer 9

She most likely realized she couldn't handle raising the child, (for whatever reason), and left the child with someone she thought could. The real victim is the child. It's very sad to see a life snuffed out too soon. Please post a picture of the child that gives her dignity, she deserves at least that. May she rest in peace.

Answer 10

I think I am a little torn here, I wonder what in the world was going on in the womens head to leave her baby, but at the same time I wonder what were the cercumstances. NO matter how you slice it her child is dead, and so there is great sadness... WOW

Answer 11

Jeez. I guess I feel sorry for her that her life is so awful, although I doubt that she is without blame in the situation. I don't really know what to say... it's a sad story. There are ignorant people in this world and, unfortunately, sometimes they reproduce.

Answer 12

hell yeah i feel sorry for her what the hell is wrong with people whats worse id the little girl that went through the pain omg this story tears me apart as a mother or 3 precious girls. call someone get away from your child if every feeling like this and be sure you know and trust the person watching ur baby

Answer 13

Of course i feel sorry for her, but my heart literally aches for that little girl. Hopefully her last days on earth weren't as the website describes... poor baby. This kind of stuff makes me so sad

Answer 14

yes i do feel sorry for her. people who are saying all these horrible things about her and shes probably crying her eyes out. I DONT THINK THE FAMILY MADE LONDON'S DEATH PUBLIC SO PEOPLE COULD ACT LIKE PAPPARAZZI AND SPECULATE ON HER DEATH. THEY MADE IT PUBLIC TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ON THE DANGERS OF SHAKING A BABY. PEOPLE NEED TO QUIT POSTING HATEFUL THINGS ABOUT THE CHILD'S MOTHER.

Answer 15

OF COURSE, I DO. IM A MOTHER. WE GO THRU LIFE PRAYING THAT THE PEOPLE WE SHARE IT WITH WILL NOT OUR HARM OR SORROW. BUT THE MAN I CHOOSE TO FATHER MY CHILDREN CAUSE MORE PAIN THAN I CAN EVER IMAGINE. SO DONT BLAME HER FOR NOT SEE THE SIGNS OF FRUSTRATION, FOR I SPENT 13 YRS WITH SOMEONE WHO DID THINGS THAT NO WOMAN OR KID SHOULD EVER HAVE TO SEE OR GO THROUGH.

MY HEARTS FOR THIS YOUNG LADY, IN TIME THIS WILL HEAL, AS PARENTS FOREVER HAVE BURIED FOR SICKNESS., WE ALL SURVIVE, WILL NEVER FORGET, MEMORIES LAST A LIFE TIME.
