Jessica was born on the 29 September 2005. She lived for only 54 days until she died on the 22
November 2005. Her tiny life was filled with suffering at the hands of her biological father who is
now serving a whole life term prison sentence.
Attached are links to childrens, welfare and charity organisation on signs of child abuse and how we
can all make our contribution to the safety and protection of children.
One can only imagine what Jessica was going through. It is a sickening and appalling account of
child suffering and abuse, amidst a busy town surrounded by neighbours and families, under the
watchful eye of the social care system intended to protect her.
Yet surrounded by so many that could have ended her torment, with all the physical signs of abuse in
her home environment and medical evidence on her tiny frail body, she was repeatedly allowed to
return home to the hands of her father. People closed their eyes or chose to do nothing to help this
defenceless and completely dependant baby.
Jessica’s suffering is now at an end. She paid the ultimate price for the failure of so many to
watch over her. To listen when she cried, to look when she could not speak and act when we knew she
was in such desperate need.
Jessica is now at rest in a peaceful cemetery in the south of England. Sadly this is the only
picture I have of Jessica. Her grave is very humble, a simple wooden cross stating her full name and
date she died. I could find very little in the way of tokens of affection or memorials of her life.
A sad, tragic and heartbreaking reflection of her treatment in this world.
I want to allow people the opportunity to think about Jessica. Show Jessica how much she is loved
and how important and significant her life was to us all. To think about the most precious gift of
all, a tiny child with so much to live, and to make a pledge never to allow another child to follow
the same fate. For then we would have all truly failed Jessica.
Jessica sweet angel, although I was never blessed with the privilege of holding you, cuddling you or
kissing your salty tears away you have touched my own life in so many ways.
Your memory and your spirit is alive in the hearts and minds of every single person who cares.
You are now free in a far better place where you can no longer be hurt. We are now left with only
the legacy of your neglect and betrayal in our arms. The world is a much, much sadder place without
you.
Dream in peace sweat heart, free from fear, free from pain.
You will be loved eternally.

If we do not remember the victims of child abuse we will change nothing. It is the responsibility of
every caring parent, every decent human being to never turn away from a child in need. Jessica
Randall’s memorial stands for that determination to end child suffering.
The signs of child abuse are always there and we must all be aware of those signs and choose to
respond to them. We must all do whatever we have to do, whenever we have to do it to protect the
most sacred, the most silent and most vulnerable in society.
There were many opportunities to save little Jessica, but tragically no-one did.
There is no justice that will ever bring a dead child back and no sentence that will ever reflect
the suffering of an abused or neglected child.
For there can be only one acceptable outcome for a child at risk and that is prevention. There can
be no complacency when it to the protection of children and there is no second chance to save a
child’s life.
We must all be prepared and have the courage to intervene, to do the right thing, get involved and
not leave it to someone else to protect our children. One day we may all have this ethical choice at
our doorstep should we even suspect a child is at risk- please let us all remember Jessica.
GOODMORNING SWEETHEART.

LOVE LIZ X
"Angel"
Tear drops, slow and steady,
The pain so real and true,
God took another angel,
And that angel, dear, was you.
Angel wings, upon the clouds,
Your body softly sleeps,
Hush now little angel,
No more tears you have to weep.
Little prayers,are sent to you,
The short life you led;
Your family will never forget you,
So rest your little head.
I know God will look after you,
Now you are truly alive,
Your spirit soars beyond the moon,
Your legacy will survive.
You’re beautiful, you’re endless,
Now stretch your wings and fly,
Your loved by so many,
It will never be goodbye.
Close your pretty eyes,
No more tears,just go and rest,
Let your soul lie peacefully,
we know you did your best.
SLEEP LITTLE ANGEL SLEEP
LOVE LIZ XX
Rest in peace little one, theres no need to be scared anymore. The bad people will be judged by god when their time comes, hopefully some time soon, and he will cast them down to spend eternity in hell.
God bless and sleep tight xxxxx

a BIG hug and a CUDDLE is sent to you babe you beautifull princess always in my heart never forgotten xxx
When God calls little children to dwell with him above, We mortals sometimes question the wisdom of his love.
For no heartache compares with the death of one small child, who does so much to make our world seem wonderful and mild.
Perhaps God tires of calling the aged to his fold,
So, he picks a little rosebud before it can grow old.
God knows how much we need them, so he takes but a few, to make the land of heaven more beautiful to view.
Believing this is difficult, Still, somehow we must try.
The saddest word mankind knows will always be 'goodbye'.
So when a little child departs, we who are left behind
must realise God loves his little children and angels are hard to find.
Sleep tight little Jessica, God bless xxx

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue.
If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own;
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.
If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me.
I cannot build a mountain
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE
THAT HAS TAKEN THE TIME
TO LIGHT A CANDLE OR TRIBUTE
FOR MY VERY PRECIOUS SON
CHRISTOPHER THAT I
LOVE AND MISS SO MUCH
Thoughts Today Memories Forever
