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.
Smile for me
I want to say don't miss me
Don't keep crying tears
I can see you every day
As you face up to your fears
You can talk to me still
Even though I'm not here
I am only sleeping now
And every day I'm near
When you see a rainbow
That's where i now dwell
And when the sun shines down
Don't let your eyes swell
Laugh and i will laugh with you
Blow kisses up to the sky
For i will always be with you
I am asleep i did not die
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When He nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eyes,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark,—
Though I now know what you are,
You're my Angel, little star.
REST XXXXX
THERE IS A PLACE IN MY HEART FOR TOO
ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT GOD LOOKS AFTER YOU
HE TOOK YOU BY THE HAND WHEN HE SAW YOUR PAIN
ALTHOUGH WE KNOW WE WILL SEE YOU ONCE AGAIN
THAT DOES NOT STOP THE HURT IN OUR HEART
OR GIVE ME THE REASON WE HAD TO PART
LOVE FOR LINGERS FOREVER MORE
UNTIL I JOIN YOU AT HEAVENS DOOR
SO ANGEL PLEASE TRY AND REST FOR A WHILE
WHILE I THINK OF YOU WITH LOVE AND A SMILE
WE CANNOT HELP WE STILL WANT YOU HOME
AS THE TIME GOES BY MY SADDNESS AS GROWN...
OUT OF SIGHT, NOT OUT OF MIND
✳:*: ✳:*:✳ :*:✳:*:✳:*: ✳:
SEARCH YOUR MIND
FOR THOSE YOU SEEK
CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND TAKE A PEEK.
THEY ARE HERE FOR YOU TO SEE,
FOR MEMORIES ARE SAFE FOR ETERNITY,
HELD TIGHT SOMEWHERE INSIDE YOUR MIND,
IT'S ONLY THE PATH YOU NEED TO FIND.
LOVE AND DESIRE
WILL SHOW YOU THE WAY
TO BRING THOSE YOU HOLD DEAR
CLOSER TODAY.
SO CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND TAKE A PEEK.
SEARCH YOUR MIND
FOR THOSE YOU SEEK.

The day that god said come to me
My life was changed forever
A life so full of joy and hope
Is now so full of sorrow
He called your name it was your time
But what of us that’s left behind
Does he have a purpose in life for me and you
Or has he left us here for our pain to grow and grow
In my heart you are still here
In everything’s I see and touch
Is god cruel or is he kind
That answer lies within your mind
Some may suffer some may not
But everyone is someone's lose
Our lives go on whether short or long
This is something we have no choice
The only thing we know for sure
Is our heart was broke on that day
Until our time has finally come
We live with memories no one can take.

Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone,
and know one knows the heartache
as we try to carry on.
Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow,
what it meant to loose you
no one will ever know.
Our thoughts are always with you
your place no one can fill,
in life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.
There will always be a heartache
and often a silent tear,
but always a precious memory
of the days when you were here.
