Brianna Lopez was a 5 month old little girl who endured such pain and tragedy that no child should ever endure. I cannot read her story without tears welling in my eyes. This photo of Brianna is not a photo of a beautiful sleeping child. During her short 5 months, her family never took a single photograph of her. This photo is one of her autopsy photos. To get the story of little Brianna, please read the first link, “My Name is Brianna Lopez”. I could not say it better myself.

It appears that the mother’s conviction stands. The below press release is dated June 21,2007.
Supreme Court Reinstates “Baby Brianna” Conviction
(SANTA FE, NM)— Attorney General Gary King today announced a New Mexico Supreme Court decision that overturns a New Mexico Court of Appeals ruling on one of the state’s most notorious cases of child abuse. The Court says Stephanie Lopez’ conviction and sentence will stand in connection with the death of her 5-month old daughter, Brianna Lopez, also known as Baby Brianna.
In 2006, the Court of Appeals overturned Lopez’ and other defendants convictions based on a perceived violation of their constitutional rights. The Attorney General’s Office appealed the decision to the Supreme Court and today’s announcement is based on that appeal.
Stephanie Lopez was originally sentenced to 27 years in prison for her part in the infant’s death. Her boyfriend Andy Walters received a 57-year sentence and her twin brother Steven Lopez was given 51 years in prison for their roles in the 2002 death of the Las Cruces girl.

My prayers and thoughts are with this beautiful baby. Your parents never had it in them to charish you and see the beauty that only a baby can give. You are safe now and being loved. You have people here who wish you were still here but understand that your parents didn’t deserve you. It is one thing to have someone hurt your babies, but for the mother to do it and the family, your all sick fucks that need help and I’m guessing that with the help they could get wouldn’t matter anyways. They are evil people who never deserved you.

My brother named his daughter after Brianna so that we would always remember what a precious gift this baby was. May those 3 rot in hell for the torture and murder of an angel.

Hi Lindsay,
When I read this story on U-Tube about Brianna Lopez I was angry, appalled and outraged at the “parents” the uncle and the grandmother who did nothing Unfortunately, you know all three of them. They all look like punks to me! They complained about their lot in life, not having any money, living in a trailer park, etc! That cuts nothing with me. Being a black woman, I am tired of blacks and latino’s playing the race and poverty card! Being poor is no excuse to do drugs and beat your kid up because you are angry, and hurting. Any one of them could have went on to college like I did, and made their life better! They all were just to lazy to do so! I hate every one of them and I hope they all rot in hell and get here butts kicked in prison daily!! Thse people are sick, demented and despicable! My oldest daughter who is 24 just completed her Masters degree and she and her husband are having a baby! They are having a girl, and they are also naming her after Brianna! They want to honor her in some way since her family hated her and continue to disrespect her to this day!

May every other child be more loved than our poor baby Brianna was from these animals. I hope these incompetents one day realize their incredible loss and have tremendous turmoil, nightmares and regret.

FYI to those who wanted to know about Brianna’s headstone and “cage”. It is still up and has NOT been removed. My daughter is burried a few plots down and is the only baby who has a headstone (SIDS death). We inquired to the grounds keeper if the cage was to be removed any time soon and he advised us there are no plans to have it removed. Even though there is a case around her grave, you can still leave flowers in front and around it (we usually do when we visit our daughter). I think it’s so selfish of that family to have the cage. They are so “proud” thinking that the public has pity for THEM…well they are too blind and selfish to realize that no one cares for THEM. BTW, she would have turned 6 on Valentine’s Day.

Hi Alyssa’s Mom,
Let me say that I am so sorry about the passing of your little one! God bless you for being so brave and displaying such courage. I know you grieve and think of her every day. Unfortunately the sub-human Lopez family would like to forget their child was even born! That is the only thing that I can think of. They hated their baby because she was premature, had many expenses and were to poor to pay for them. They also were drug addicts and as a nurse who works in that field, drug addicts will do anything when they are high. If you read my comment to Lindsay, you will understand why i am so angry at these peoople and their complaining about their lot in life! I do not want to hear any sob stories about being poor, black, latino, etc,! No one is remotely thinking about Stephanie Lopez or her evil twin brother and or Briann’s “dad!
They are all inbred animals who do not deserve any chance of parole! They are animals who deserve to be put to death for what they did to this baby!

God allows Satin to do stupid things so that God can use the tragedies for a bigger purpose. I know it sounds horrible of God, but he chose Brianna because she was strong enough to do his will in this way. Just look at all of the laws that have been passed and all of the other people that will be put away for the rest of their lives for their idiotic actions. Look at all of the lives Brianna’s short life touched. God has a plan for us all though we don’t see it or understand it. He did not allow her to feel the pain that we think she endured. God numbed her from it. If she cried it was for normal reasons babies cried, not because she felt the pain they tried to inflect on her.Think about, these three were so hateful and UN-remorseful for what they did that they had no problem admitting what they did, so Stephanie, when asked why she didn’t hear Brianna cry from the pain, it is because she didn’t cry because she wasn’t feeling pain. God was protecting her. God never allows Satin to win. He would have won if Brianna suffered. It appears to the world she did because God needed to make a point. Violence is not okay and will be punished. These three got off easy here, but it won’t be easy when they die and they get cast into the lake of fire.

As a child, I too endured abuse, a lot of it, and made it. The worst is not the pain, I believe God protects you from the pain, I don’t remember feeling any pain……but the hurt, the confusion, the tears, I don’t believe people can blame their lives on it, I have learned from the mistakes of others and I have made sure to be the best mom that I can be. I don’t believe in forgiveness, I believe that your hell will be that which you committed to others on earth, the perpetrators in my life can repent all they want, I will never forgive, today they are old, and I have always said should I cross their paths, I’ll kill them. God has spared me that though. My heart aches for this baby, and for so many others, and this little girl was one of the worst I ever came across, she did not survive, these people should be shot. I cried over her, I could not sleep, the events of the last night of her life played in my mind over and over again, where she was left on the floor, when exactly did she die, and how all the people in her life could allow this. Her uncle which passed away, people praise him says he was a good man, and his only fault was not reporting the matter, his only fault, he is just as guilty as them, and I think even in death, the way he died, he got off easy. My husband says he can see how things consume me, especially when I just found out about it, but hey, I am glad that I am not the only one,and that there are millions who would agree that people who abuse children in these horrific ways, should be brought to justice in the worst possible ways. I hope your heart heals in time as well, I am healing after a year of following this story, looking for the perpetrators, but I will never forget this beautiful child, and her horrific story.

I just heard this story on the news last night. Ever since I have had a tear in my eye, my first child is only 4 months older than Brianna and it kills me to think that people are actually capable of these kinds of acts. What on earth could a 5 month old baby have ever done to deserve this type of treatment from the people who are supposed to love her most. I just wish that these sick people could get the punishment that they truly deserve. In my opinion justice will only be served when they are placed in the yard at the state prison among the general population and all the other inmates are allowed to be judge, jury, and executioner and this includes the grandmother and uncle who knew and did nothing to help this poor baby. These people are sick and not worthy of life and it really burns me up to know that my tax dollars are giving them a nice bed, warm dry place to live, protection from predators who would love to get their hands on them, and 3 meals a day. They never gave those luxuries to that poor baby.

When this story came out on the news a couple of nights ago, I couldn’t believe was I was watching; I was in shock. That night I did not sleep all I could do was watch my baby in his bed and wonder how could anyone do that to an innocent, defenseless child? The sentences that these animals have to serve is certainly not enough. People who are in charge of generating new laws need to see this story and realize that a change needs to be made immediately here in New Mexico. They need to put themselves in Brianna’s place, what if this happened to a child in their family? How would they feel? I truly believe that God see’s everything he will certainly keep them in mind and administer the appropriate punishment they deserve. As a nation we need to take action if we know or even suspect that a child if being abused we need to report it immediately. There is no excuse to keep quiet do not be affraid if you call the National Child Abuse Hotline
(1-800-24-A-CHILD) you can remain anonymous. No one has the right to end a child’s life. I wondered that night if she ever had a moment of happiness. I want everyone to know her story what she went through, for that reason I have placed a picture of her at my desk at work. When people come by and ask who she is I tell them the story and tell them that it is important that they report to the authorities if they know of a child who is being abused.
I want to let Brianna know that she will always be in my heart and prayers; we love her..I love her.. we will never forget you precious Brianna.

this is such a sad story…. this poor lil angel didn’t have a chance with her family… it saddens me to know that there are people out there that would do such things to their children or to anyone for that matter… I am a parent myself and I don’t even punish .. I smacked my oldest when he was 5 yrs old on his butt and i cried for days..
now if my children are bad i send them for time out.. as i was watching the utube video on this case my lil one who is 5 yrs old was sitting on my lap and hugging me and telling me that everything is okay.. when i explained what i was watching he said he was sad for the baby and that her mommy and daddy are bad people.. i told him he was right and that her parents are away for along time.. He then smiled at me and said that he loves me and that he would be a good boy… i told him that him and his brother are my heart and sole and that i would NEVER EVER HARM THEM IN ANY WAY!! he thanked me and said i was the bestest mommy ever… I cried and hugged him soo tight!!
just knowing that there are people out there who would even harm a helpless lil baby alarms me bringing my children up in the world!!
please LOVE YOUR CHILDREN UNCONTIONALY AND HOLD THEM TO YOUR HEART!!
REST IN PEACE BRIANNA i’M SURE SHE IS LOVED IN HEAVEN..

I look at my 6 month old son and promise him I will do my best by him> Things like this is why I dont even date anymore.
Everytime I turn on the news or open a paper this stuff is happening to babies .The laws need to be more harsh…What do they mean by violated theese people civil rights…what about hers . And the grandma should have gotten alot more than she did her family shouldnt even be allowed to visit her grave..There should be a blanket party waitin for them.

I am sick about this story, but what I understand even less than the senseless killing of this beautiful child, is the reasoning behind not wanting a headstone placed. My granddaughter Zariah died in January of this year and we have been doing everything possible to get her a headstone so we can have that special place to visit her. What the hell are these people thinking???? How can these sick people live on this earth, yet we lose our perfect baby to cancer at 3 months old, I just don’t get it.

I read all the comments, and I identified with many of them. Because I too, couldn’t sleep last night, I was so horrified, I am still… I keep thinking about the life she had, her last day.. her mother’s total indifference, going to sleep drunk, without knowing if her daughter is ok, the grandmother also “shutting her eyes” to all of this, what kind of person is she? that is, if we can call them “people”. I am haunted by this story, it’s the worst I’ve ever heard of. I am curious of her reaction, the mom’s.. did she cry at all? how did she sound on the 911 tape? do any of them show remorse? I read on some sites of people who went to school with them.. did they act “normal” at all?!?!
I saw that they lived in a “trailer park” style of home.. were they a very poor family? was there a grandfather present at all? I think even the neighbors are to blame! I’m sorry, but there’s NO WAY nobody heard this child screaming, no one SAW the bruises and marks.. All these people should have nightmares because of what they did , and the ones that should have contacted authorities, but were heartless cowards!
I want to believe so bad that she’s in a better place, perhaps already living a new life? in a wonderful family, full of love and security.
Oh, and I have a baby girl too.. I am more than ever, afraid of the actions of others.. I trust no one.

Hi Danielle, my name’s L and I like you indentify w/ everything on here..since I’ve come across this about this poor little defensless baby’s story ..I couldnt’ sleep many nights and I dont’ even have any chlidren . Cats and dogs; and now I have 2 cats a boy and a girl and I wouldnt even do this to them.!!! But I believe that the whole “family” in that ” house of horros” acted all together ..like they were all in on this and particpated in this brutal abuse….Yes, I read on another site that they were poor.. and it is a trailer and it was filthy.. No excuses .. But I think it’s very possible that the neighbors did not hear only because I just read on another site this past week that her abusers would just laugh and stuff cloths in her mouth so noone would hear the screams..and I don’t think that this poor baby was ever “outside ” of that trailer since the day she came home..so of course , no outsider would get a chance to see or hear much of anything at all. I think this was an “isolated case of brutality” I mean , I could be wrong., but unfortunatly it sounds a lot like that..nice commenting w/you all L

Does anyone know if the grandmother and other members of this family and their friends are being shunned by the community? I just wonder how can they possibly show their faces in public? There must be other sisters and brothers and cousins and aunts and other uncles, great uncles and aunts, etc. I would think that they would be (or they should be) afraid to leave their houses. At a minimum, if I saw any of them, I would spit on them and cross to the other side of the street and point them out to anyone who was on the street, or the store, or the gas station, etc . I guess what I’m trying to say is they should never be allowed to live any sort of normal life, they should never, never be allowed to forget the horror that they allowed to go on in that house of hell where stephanie and steven lopez and andrew walters were torturing this helpless little baby to death. As to the stephanie and steven and walter, they should be thinking about Jeffrey Dahmer, and he wasn’t even a baby killer, the guards looked the other way and he was brutally murdered by an inmate. Most of the people who are in prison for whatever reason, have families and babies and children of their own that they love and miss. I wouldn’t want them to get the death penalty because that would be too good for them. They should have to live in fear and terror every minute of every miserable day, until finally, one day they get what they deserve. My daughter is apparently unable to have children, and she and I would have given anything, anything to have had Brianna to cherish and love. One thing that gives me some small comfort is that these monsters do not have the capacity to know love and joy, they don’t love themselves and they don’t give it and that’s the only way you can get it. They do actually live horrible, empty, miserable lives.

In my mind, Brianna, you were born in a family full of life, love, compassion, joy, happiness, and warm protection. There will be a light around you for all time, sweet baby girl. God will protect you now for all time.
If I could have chosen a life for you, it would go something like this:
Brianna Lopez was born February 14, 2002. Valentine’s Day, the perfect day for a beautiful baby girl to be brought into this world. Her mother and father looked on her with pride and joy in their eyes. Tears streaming down her mother’s face. This family has been blessed with a beautiful and courageous little girl. They take her home, and she never ceases to delight and amaze them. Day after day, Brianna learns of her surroundings and is content in the warmth of her family’s love and admiration. Her smiles are eternally captured by endless photos from her mother’s digital camera. Baby girl laughs ring through the house and light it up with all the wonderment that can only come from a new baby and her excitement at her world around her.
Baby Brianna grows into a lovely young woman, going to school and makes high grades. Nothing can stop her now! She is ahead in her class, excelling at all that she does with the guidance and encouragement from her mother and father always in her mind.
She eventually marries an amazing man that sweeps her off her feet. She starts her own family and this cycle continues.
Baby Brianna, this is what I would have chosen for you. However, I am not God precious Angel. I am but a mother that has been touched by your plight. For the past few hours, I have thought of little but you. I will hold you in my heart and will have to be satisfied knowing you’re in God’s hands now. You’re suffering is over. You are in no more pain. You are happy and free from the evil that permeated your home.
I am sorry little one, that you did not know the gentle touch of a mother’s love or being cradled and soothed to sleep if you had a nightmare. Held and felt butterfly kisses on your eyelids while your daddy fed you your last bottle for the night, holding you safely in his strong arms. Never to let anything or anyone harm you.
My husband would have cherished you and loved you with every ounce of his being.
You are loved, Brianna. In this house, you are loved greatly and will have a place in my heart forever.

I keep replaying this fantasy out in my head, it’s the only way I can sleep at night.
The cops storm your house and whisk you away from that awful place. They place you oh so gently in my arms. I take you home to a place that’s filled with love and laughter and warmth. I hold you close, but not to tight, I know how bruised and hurt you are. I heal all your hurts, inside and out. And your poor little body heals and your little heart heals. You crawl and smile and laugh, and my three older sons protect you, and you bask in true unconditional love.
I am so sorry baby girl, that you didn’t know a mother’s love or a father’s protection while you’re alive.
I think about you everynight before I go to bed, and every morning when I wake up. I pray as hard as I can that you’re being watched over and loved.
It’s no fair that you didn’t get even an ounce of love and protection while you were alive. It’s not fair that you did NOTHING WRONG, you were an innocent little soul….
I will continue to hold you in my heart, little angel. and love you like a mother should. It’s all I can do from where I sit.

There are children being abused every minute of every hour all over the world, why? Who knows but those of us who can must be aware and we must report neglect and abuse, be outspoken on these issues regardless of the consequence, stand up for these childrens rights. Please and tell everyone you know the same until the world communtity as a whole says no, nothing will change. Lobby you pollititions for more funding for child protection agencies. Abuse and Neglect are not OK.
I hope Brianna, that you are in a place far better then what you had on earth, few deserve it more then you.
As for her entire immediate and extended family and friends karma is a bitch and you will pay one way or another, just thank yourselves lucky you never met me in a dark ally.

After all, she is the one who raised the animals who did this to an innocent, helpless child. Brianna will remain in my heart forever, and I will never forget her. I also pray for her older brother.

Baby Brianna you are never far from my thoughts and always in my heart. I cannot begin to describe the effect hearing of your short life and tragic death has had on my life. I literally had to do a doubletake because you are the spitting image of my daughter who is only a few months older than you were when you left this world. I had to awake her and take her from her crib and hold her close to me as I kissed all over her sweet little face. I realize how blessed I am and I am so sorry your own mother never did realize how much God blessed her by giving you to her. Every night as I lay my daughter down to sleep I pray for you and kiss her an extra time for you.
Because of you I have found myself headed in an entirely different career path, one that I know is where I was destined to be all along. I have read so many tales of abuse, neglect, torture, rape, death, you name it I have read it, but there has never been a single one to make me cry as I have since I first heard of your story a little over a month ago. I have become haunted by your sweet little face and have just now found myself able to fall asleep at night without the fear of being traumatized with nightmares of the terror, pain and agony you endured in your short life. I wished I could turn back the hands of time and saved you from the torment you went through. But, I cannot. I can only find solace in knowing you are in God’s arms now and he has wiped away all your tears and taken away all your pain. Never again will you feel unloved for you are loved by so many and we never had the privilege of ever meeting you. Regardless of the cages your so called family builds around your grave in the hopes people forget you I can guarantee you that you will never be forgotten. Forever will you be in my heart. Sleep sweet angel. You are safe now. We love you!

Dear Little Baby Brianna, I just learned of your awful story today and I am crying for you. Why would some one do that to a little baby? You were too good for this world and are propably an angel now, I will remember you always and I like so many of these strangers love you. If I could I’d give my life just so you wouldn’t have to have experienced all that terror.
Rest in Peace little one, and happy belated birthday dear heart.

I recently heard of Baby Brianna from Youtube and found this article and I can’t stop thinking about her or crying. Just imagining the horror that beautiful little girl went through makes my heart so sad. I have 2 children of my own and I just hug and kiss them more when I read of things like this. The little girl was so beautiful and did nothing to deserve this, she didn’t ask to be brought into this world. The things that were done to her are just horrific and I know there are cruel people in this world, but this is unimaginable.
Those animal that brought her into the world (do not deserve to be called parents) really should have been put to death along with the uncle. I can’t believe that they can take a precious little baby’s life and get 57 years, that is not right. I don’t know if New Mexico has the death penalty, but I do not think their sentence was strong enough.
Either way, nothing will bring this child back. Heaven has an angel named Brianna with lots of loving angels around her. Jesus, please cradle and hug this little girl and show her the love she never got to experience in her short life on earth.
Something is really wrong with society when things like this can happen.
Brianna, I never knew you but wish I did. I wish I could have saved you from the monsters you lived with. The people who were supposed to protect you and love you only hurt you. I would have taken lots of pictures of you and hung them all around the house. You would have had a toy room full of fun toys to play with. You would have been showered with hugs and kisses. I hope you are having fun in Heaven, I hope I get to meet you one day. You will never have to see those monsters that you lived with because they will be going straight to hell. I love you and want you to know there are lots of people here on Earth that think of you everyday and love you very much!

This story has brought tears to my eyes. I’ve just recently found out I’m pregnant, and I’d give the world to have a baby as angelic as this little girl.
Sweet Brianna, you didn’t deserve this. My childhood was bad, but I lived. I just hope you’re somewhere good.
Those relatives of hers will rot in hell. The time they’ve been given is much too short, everything would fall short of what they deserve. As I doubt they’ll be put to death, the only thing I can wish for is they live long lives, and what they did haunts them for every moment of it.

I too have only just heard of this story through a group created in her honour on facebook. Do a search there and you will see the original autopsy photos. I have been thinking about Brianna every day when I look at my own baby girl. I well up with tears all the time. I like many others kiss my baby girl and hug her more due to the way this story has moved me. I say one kiss for you and one for baby Brianna. I can’t believe this tragic story is real. I hope I come across an article when I google her name that says “Baby Brianna death a hoax”. But I know that this is no hoax!!! I’m amazed these monsters “her family” even bothered to call 911 when she stopped breathing. Is this the only sign that Brianna got that they cared even a little. Its amazing they didn’t just try and hide her lifeless little body and just pretend that she never existed. They took no photos of her smiling little face so perhaps to them she did not exist. I too believe in Karma. I hope they get what’s coming to them. They deserve nothing short of being tortured by some big evil inmate at the prison they will now call home. Its sad to know that Brianna may never have got a hug or kiss from these morons. It is curious to know that she has an 18 month old brother. Was he abused too? Why he wasn’t will be a mystery!!! Why the grandmother chose to protect her son (Brianna’s so called father) is beyond me. Also Brianna’s father’s brother lived in the trailer also with his 8 yr old son. Didn’t anyone know what was going on! Bullshit!! You can’t tell me they didn’t here here cry and cry and cry!!! Bunch of arseholes! Heaps of shit. Thats what these monsters are. Heaps of shit… magots of society. We can do without them. Wastes of space. Anyway I hope that little Brianna can feel all of our love so big that it is growing every day with all the people that hold here in their hearts and prayers. Please make sure if you know of any kids being abused or neglected TELL the authorities and keep telling them till they ACT!!! Call the government in your area and say “WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH and we want action” NO more child abuse. Get these agencies up to scratch, give them more money so they can do a better job because so far they are little all these little angels down who have been abused. Lets all do something to make it stop. Lets not let Brianna and other kids deaths be in vain.!!! I live in Australia and it happens here also. It makes me sick.

It is so crazy because our last name is Lopez too and my name is Stephanie and my daughters grandmothers name is Patsy but I know for a fact I will not let history repeat itself. I just wish she would’ve been my child because I would’ve loved her soo much. But I feel like there’s a lil bit of Baby Brianna in every child just wanting to feel loved.

I have read the stories and saw the pictures of Baby Brianna. This is the 1st site I have stumbled upon in which I found out anything regarding the trial and convictions of these freaks. Reading on, I discover that their convictions have been overturned because they were not “treated fairly” and their “Constitutional Rights” were violated at trial. How appalling!! This type of so called “justice” makes me ashamed to be a part of this country. These people never gave that baby a chance at life as they selfishly lived theirs. The three of them have many, many powerful people fighting to ensure their “fair” treatment (probably free of charge) regarding their crime, but what about Brianna? No one took the time to treat her “fairly”…she was failed by the system, ignored by the agencies put in place to speak for her and the ultimate travisty? She was betrayed by the two people who gave her life. Where is the justice in this? I cannot comprehend it! I have always been interested in the law and wished to pursue it as a career. I represented myself in court during a heated divorce and custody battle after 18 years in an abusive marriage. My boys were taken from me on accusation alone and placed with their father who constantly abused them in everyway. So much so that not one of them cares to ever speak to him again. I went up against a powerful “father’s rights advocate attorney” and several expert witnesses who came to trial on behalf of my ex and I beat them all by telling the truth. I won my boys back after an almost 2 year battle and in the process lost two jobs, valuable time with my boys and countless days and nights of peaceful existence. The court system in this country favors the wicked and preys on the innocent. My interest and faith in the law have long since disintegrated – it’s all about money and greed at the expense of those with little resources or lack of knowledge to fight. God bless this precious angel, Brianna. Perhaps some type of good will come of her short life and someone will step up to defend her and demand justice.

Our country is sick not to punish these people more severly that commit this type of crime. This has made me heartbroken and physically ill and I only wish that each of these sick individuals would have to go through every bit of pain that this beautiful baby felt before they managed to kill her. Thank God she died and did not have to live any longer to endure what else they would have done to her.

Today was a beautiful day in Bremen, Germany. The sun was shining all day long. My kiddies were playing outside. I enjoyed watching them, being children. Now here is my story: A couple of days ago I read about Brianna. I had to cry all the time, wanting to know more about her. My babies looked exactly like her at that age. She could have been the big sister. Little baby Brianna, so beautiful, so perfect, so baby, so loving, so beaten, so tortured, so in pain, so dead. My eyes kept weeping. The thought of all that punishment and torture made my whole body shiver from head to toe. I had to touch her. Why did they do this to you? I don’t even want to understand why! It will stay with me for the rest of my life. And than I thought at Brianna’s pain. Each movement must have hurt her so much. And than all the tears. And no one understood? And than I thought about her life in pain. I was there in pain too. The pain of the loss of my beloved brother. My brother died in June 2002, but the pain started at his last birthday on February the 15th 2002. No more birthday would he have. He knew, he was a doctor himself. In March he had to go to hospital, because the pain was unbearable. Morphin. In April he was back home. No more chemo, no more cure, no way out. I cleaned the terrasse, so he could lay outside and enjoy the sunshine in the backyard. In Mai the pain was only bearable with heroin. Morphin on top. Over the phone he was unreachable. In June I stayed with him. I carried him. I sang with him. I watched football on tv with him. And then, on June the 8th he died. We all had said goodbye. His bag was packed. He went on a boat, sailing towards the light. In July I became to drive his car, an old Mercedes. And than I was paralised in pain. Was it the 19th?
A few days ago I felt the touch of an angel. Was it Brianna? Was there a chance of life in me? Why do I read about Brianna at that moment? Does the angel come back? It felt so weary. And than the next day I started bleeding. The touch I felt was still there. But in the evening the touch I felt no more. I sat on the terrasse outside, and took a glance towards the sky, and there was the smile of a smiley with a nose, a big nose and a big smile. It made me smile. Little baby Brianna, your angel is couragious. You are trying to find a way? My brother’s angel is watching over you, the big smile said it all. Be brave and strong, you can do no wrong. The ones who are angry, are helpless in anger, you know. You have always loved your beloved ones, the beloved ones who weren’t able to love, or to feel the love you felt for them. My sweet baby angel, it is not your fault. You were, are and will always being loved. Your sweetest face will encourage me each day to give my best. And more. Forever in my heart. May you rest in peace. No more anger, no more pain. May all the people of the world hear about your story, may all the hurting stop. Thank you, Brianna. No more tears, no more pain, no more hate. The touch of an angel. Angel Brianna.

I pray that God sends me to the little innocent children of the world that need our help so that I can save someone I couldn’t bear to hear about another story like yours. God bless you baby Brianna, God bless you forever. I pray that you are resting in peace surrounded by true love. I love you and will always remember you, and your painful story.

how does this happen how did no one know ?
i am the grandmother of a 10 month granddaughter and the thought of inclination that she is/was harmed in any in appropriate way just infuriates me. i would turn on my dauhter inlaw son any one if they hurt the baby… end of story…
this happended in 2002 i am just reading of this today thanks to a kind soul sherry keeping her story alive to remind folks of this poor child.
what are the status of the sub humans that did this to her ? are they dead ? why not ? they should be….. how can they look at themselves for the last 6 years what are their thoughts, do they care ? can i have a minute with them just one that is all it takes for a bullet to hit between the eye ..

I received this post via my facebook..it was a news story covering the death of little brianna lopez..there was a story and graphic pictures..my 2 year old daughter brooklyn was sitting on my lap..she kept saying mommy baby have owiees..baby go to the doctor..mommy baby have owiees on her head..it broke my heart..knowing that the only time that little girl went to the doctor was the day she died..nobody made her booboo’s feel better..nobody hugged her, or loved her..this has disturbed me to the point of nauseousness..and then to read blogs stating that @ some point in time these individuals convictions were overturned because of their rights..i am speechless..i looked up their names @ the new mexico state prison..it seems as though they are still incarcerated for their crimes..i intend to write them and let them know how i feel..to hopefully insure that monsters like these three individuals never are released..i also intend to write a letter to each of these individuals to remind them, along with photos of little baby brianna so that they wil never forget just like i and so many others will never forget..recently in july i drove through new mexico, and that exact town, by many mobile homes that looked exactly like that..i stopped in zuni, to visit a friend who lived in a mobile home exactly like that..she has five kids..one of them around briannas age when she died..he was a happy loved little boy..what makes this so much more disturbing is ” this was not one family member abusing a child a bruise here and there, and the family turning the other cheek”…this child was tortured worse then a prisoner of war..by and entire family..and they all turned the other cheek on each other..when you watch the video of the news broadcast, the mother walks into the courtroom with a bottle of juice in her hand, no remorse, a bounce in her step, seeming not a care in the world, head held high..when the verdict is read a man walks up and hugs her and consoles her..i would like to kick that man in the balls..where was he to console that broken little girl..for the rest of my life on valentines day i will always remember little baby brianna born on the day of love, who never had a chance..

I just recently watched the youtube video on a friends blog. I don’t think I have ever felt heartbreak like this. I just can’t get precious baby Brianna out of my head. I have a brand new baby boy not even 2 months old and he is everything to me!! I couldn’t even imagine a thought of harming a hair on his head!! I keep wishing she were mine and I could cuddle that lil baby and see her smile.
I wonder why doctors didn’t ask questions when baby Brianna missed appointments?I feel like if a baby isn’t being brought in to her appointments that should be a red flag and cps should be alerted..I mean when u leave the hospital with your infant usually they schedule an appointment right there and if the mother called to say she were going to a different doctor she should have to provide the name so that it could be confirmed..I feel like if this would have happened she would still be here..all it would have taken is 1 doc appointment and the authorities would have stepped in.
and 30 days for the grandma and uncle? I don’t know how the judge sleeps at night!!!they should have got life! and I am glad these monsters didn’t get the death sentence..what an easy way out a lil shot and they just fall asleep..they should have got life in prison so they could sit and think about what they did to this precious baby..I hope that everynight her beautiful face haunts them in their dreams!and they know that after spending their WHOLE life in prison it only gets worse from there b/c what they have awaiting after death will be way worse! they should chain them to a pole outside and let the public at them!
I just can’t understand why people would do this to a baby..at 1 point it made me question my faith..but I know that God had a purpose for this lil angel.I will never ever ever forget baby Brianna! I will think of her everytime I see my baby boy smile ..because of Brianna I will strive to be the best mother I can be to my boy and never ever take him for granted. Brianna will be with me FOREVER!

After watching Brianna’s story on you tube I hugged my 3 month old daughter a little tighter and kissed her an extra time. To think that her mother could not give her the love and protection that she deserved is horrifying to me. I have 5 children and I can’t understand how Brianna’s mother and father could do this. There is nothing sweeter and more innocent then a baby and no child should have to go through what Brianna did. It makes me so sad that they didn’t even love her enough to take a picture of her. The fact that she only lives on in a picture taken after she was dead that had to be airbrushed is incomprehensible. I hope this baby knows how many lives she has touched.
I hope her “family” gets what they deserve. I believe they will have to answer for what they did someday and she will be there to confront them for the pain they put her through.

I just heard about this story a couple of days ago. I can not stop thinking about Brianna and all that she went through. How can anyone harm the greatest gift that God gives us. It makes me so sad knowing that she was probably never fed, cuddled, loved, diaper changed or even taken to the dr for check ups. Why didnt they just give her away to someone who would love her. There are so many people who would love a sweet baby girl. Jail is too good for these so called parents and so called uncle, they have all they could ever want there. I hope they rot in hell. I am so sickened by seeing tears run down the grandmothers face she didnt love or even care about that sweet baby or she wanted have let her be harmed. I would love to get my hands on each and everyone of them. At least they could take the cage off and let her be shown love like she was never shown from her so called family. I have two children of my own a 4yr old and a 1 yr old and if anyone touched them in a harmful way i would kill them.

I pray those bastards will suffer endlessly for what they did to this tiny soul. Also, I pray they burn in hell when they die. There is no forgiveness for such a horrible crime against a child.
I also think that poor excuse for a grandmother and uncle should burn in hell as well. How could anybody not do something about this abuse while they knew it was happening? I am beside myself. This is the worst thing I’ve ever read about. I will never forget or stop praying for this child. God bless you, Brianna.

Like many others, I just learned of this story yesterday and I read the details today. There are no words that can express my disbelief and sadness, anger and so much more that I feel. My mind cant even wrap itself around the horrific things that were done to this sweet baby girl, the way she was treated in life and in death by her “family”. I can only keep telling myself that I know, she is experiencing the perfection that is God’s love in heaven. I feel like I should do something, write letters to these worthless monsters, advise someone in the new prison that the dad was transferred to of his crimes, let people know what these people have done always so that they never have a moments peace for the rest of their days on this earth. I cant fathom, cant grasp what on earth could be wrong with this entire family that all of them thought this was ok. It angers me to see the grandmother crying in the video, and it angers me even more to know that she will shed tears for herself but, not her grandchild. Its sick. I am conforted by My Fathers word: Matt. 18:10 Take heed that ye despise [kataphroneo {kat-af-ron-eh’-o}: 1) to condemn, despise, disdain, think little or nothing of (which includes abuse)] not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. and also “it would be better to have a mill stone tied around your neck and cast into the depths of the ocean than to harm a child”. Revenge is not ours, it is God’s and there is nothing of this earth that can compare with what is waiting for these people at His hands. I will forever remember you and love you, sweet angel

I’ve only just seen the news story video on facebook on someone’s page, and i break down and cry every time i see the pictures of this little baby covered in bruises. Ive googled her name and the story to find out more about baby brianna. I dont understand how a mother lets that happen to her baby. I understand how a father does those things to his own infant daughter. She would have cried and cried! Did they just ignore the cries? Did they just block it out?. I want to know if Stephanie ever loved or cared at all for her daughter?. Did Brianna ever feel loved or safe in her short life?. I understand how a grandmother standsby and says nothing. Im annoyed when i see in the video stephanie Lopez holding her head high, strutting into the court room, like she’s got nothing to be ashamed of. I wonder what she thinks today, does she grieve for her baby?. who bites their baby???. I have 6 kids, and yeah there are lots of days they drive me up the wall but i dont bite them!!! what the hells wrong with you!.
my heart breaks at the thought of the torture our precious baby brianna suffered. But i take solace in knowing that heavenly father in his infinite wisdom called his precious little one, Brianna home, into his loving arms she went, away from the sad and painful life she lived here on earth.
With love in my heart i will think of you everyday baby and it will remind me to always strive to be the best mother i can be to my children and to always protect them and other children i know or that i may come across in my life.
lovingly think of you always baby girl.

Even if you ask for forgiveness, you have to know that God will never allow you into his Kingdom until you have paid for your sins. What a horrible, horrible story, the pain that poor baby must have felt. I only hope that in prison those monsters are getting raped and abused constantly, daily for their entire sentence.

I saw this over a week ago and have been struggling ever since – I can’t get it out of my head and I’m so disgusted by it that words can express how I feel. I am a mother of two and can’t imagine for a second hurting my children. I feel so many of the same things people have written here… it’s amazing. I wish she were mine, I wish she’d known love, how could those monsters have hurt her in SO MANY WAYS? Beaten, raped, thrown, bitten??? I was and still am sick and completely heartbroken for this baby. I’ve cried at least once (at the very least but several times most days) every day since learning of baby Brianna and lost a lot of sleep. I can’t stop thinking about her and agonizing over her agony. I look at my children (especially my 7 month old) and cry and wonder how – HOW? Why? I will never, ever understand how parents could do something so horrendous to any defenseless, innocent baby – especially their own flesh and blood.
I hope like everyone else here that some sort of justice is being served behind prison walls. I hope they regret every single day of their pathetic lives what they’ve done and I wish every ounce of pain upon them and more than what Brianna had to endure. And if they do get out early or even if they don’t… I hope someone is there waiting for them with a baseball bat or worse.
I will always remember sweet baby Brianna and will send her the love her family didn’t have the decency to show her.

I’ve been wondering, after reading the timeline given by the abusers… never once in 13 hours do they mention feeding her. When did this little beauty get fed? Did she? Oh, I am so sickened by this I have nightmares every night. I have a precious little niece who is the same age Brianna was… I look at her and she smiles, and I wonder if Brianna knew what a smile was. I don’t know how she made it to be 5 months old! I’m surprised she wasn’t dead earlier. I also don’t like for these abusers to be compared to animals. Animals have an instinct to protect their young and will die protecting them if they have to. Human beings are supposed to have a conscience… yet the human race is so disgusting to me. I am ashamed to be considered a human! What angers me most of all is “monsters”, “demons”, like this who abuse and torture little children, babies, and animals sometimes to their deaths. They choose the innocent creatures of the world who have no voice for themself. They cannot speak up and tell what is happening to them. I know it is not for me to judge them. God will do that when he returns, but I AM only human and I am not perfect… so I honestly hope and pray that they are tortured EVERY SINGLE DAY they are in prison for what they did to her. I crave to rock her, feed her, sing to her, cuddle her, play with her toes, all those little things. I bet she was never ever rocked to sleep in her short 5 months of life. I know Jesus is rocking her now, but I hope someone here on earth at least, rocked her after she died. I hope these monsters never, ever, ever get out of jail on parole or anything! I wish they could be made sterile, so they could never have another beautiful child like Brianna. You know- they talk about abortion and unwanted pregnancies… But NO CHILD IS UNWANTED! Someone somewhere who can’t have a child would love to have that child that is being aborted or abused and murdered. —— Brianna, I don’t know what to say. You have touched my heart and soul ever since I first learned about your story a week ago. I think of you every night. And also every day. I see all your little bruises in my dreams (nightmares) at night. I cry for you. I wish I could have done something. Sleep with the angels my precious. No one here on earth who hears about you is able to forget you. And you are loved by so many. Rest In Peace Now. *kisses* & *hugs*

Is he looking at her when he does this cruel thing? If he is what is he thinking about? SICK! Don’t waste our tax paying dollars! Why does the family have a right to put a cage around her grave when they didn’t even claim the body? The community should take it down. Said they wanted to be left alone, HA!

Hey Greeneyes my names’ L and like you I say the same thing..Const.rights what about babies rights?? They torture, rape and kill her and then they call 911, did’nt claim her body , put a cage around her and don’t want any visitors!!! I think there’s more going on also..This is’nt child abuse this is murder premeditated possibly..You know they were getting welfare money for her as well as their 18month old son…the grandmother owned the trailer; was she getting any rent form theses monsters,, or were they all “freeloading?” So many things , it goes deeper , like they were all in on “a plan” or some horrible thing….I mean., not one of them obviously wanted her ..such a terrible waste of a human life..an innocent baby that can’t fight back…nice commenting w/you all L

I just watched the news report tape and I’m sitting at my desk just crying my eyes out. The anger I feel towards all of these people is just beyond words. But I also watch the big ogre who is sitting in the court room with his arm around the mother – looking like he’s consoling her. Poor Baby! I suppose he was well paid by the tax payers to make sure that this piece of crap was defended and nobody hurt her feelings! I’d like to have 5 minutes alone in a room with him. How he can sleep at night is beyond me. Attorneys that defend known criminals should be locked up themselves.

I just heard of this today. Like everyone else here I sickened. I don’t know how anyone could do this to any child or even an adult for that matter. I am the mother of 4 and when I saw this story I couldn’t stop crying and I dropped everything I was doing to gather up my babies. I held them tight and thanked God for them and told them how much I loved them. This story has changed me forever – I will never be the same. Never.
I only take solace in the fact that baby Brianna is in heaven and she knows nothing of the pain she endured on earth. She is happy in God’s arms, she has never felt such love, heaven rings with her laughter, she is surrounded by awe, peace, beauty and unconditional love, she has the last laugh. For every kiss I give my children from here on I dedicate one to this sweet angel and every child of abuse. This is my forever promise. God have mercy. Lord have mercy.

They should be placed into a pin of Pit bulls, one at a time, with the mother going last. Don’t feed the dogs, let each one of these murders be the dogs next meal.

I saw Brianna’s story last night and haven’t been able to sleep at all. This is just so sad and horrible. I am a mother of 4 daughters & I could never feel anything but love for my babies. I can’t for the life of me imagine how a mother could ALLOW someone to hurt her child & WATCH! But to actually PARTICIPATE in her torture?!? What an evil monster! Babies know nothing but trust and love. This poor sweet baby looked to her mother to protect her and comfort her! I just can’t understand it. Look at all the posts on just this site discussing this baby. Soooo many people would have really loved her (including me). The police took a file picture of Brianna & erased all the bruises and she looks like she was supposed to- a beautiful comfortable sleeping baby. They keep her framed picture as a constant reminder to keep fighting for justice for helpless children. That is so touching. I don’t have photoshop but was thinking it would be nice to see her picture made into one looking like Jesus finally holding her in His arms. It is sad to think of a child’s life ending so quickly but at least she’s safe now. Thank God. Rest in peace finally, you sweet little angel.

The judge who sentenced the grandmother and uncle, the witnesses, to 30 days?? What sort of a judge is that?? Not a competent one. Not fit for office. The powers that be need to strip that person of all their rights, and their job. Incompetent brain-dead nincompoop. Soulless heartless twit. Scumbag.
The parents and that uncle. EVIL FILTH!! Cruel, heartless beasts. Sinister, twisted psychopaths.
Their needs to be a worldwide law. Briannas Law.
1. Harsh lifelong sentences. Death penalty. (I”d prefer long drawn out torture myself…I’d volunteer to do it). An eye for an eye!
2. Long sentences for those that know but fail to report and protect. Mandatory reporting for all for abuse.
3. No anonymity for perpetrators and those that cover their crimes. No identity changes allowed. Everyone to know who they are, what the look like, all they did, and where they live.
4. No protection in jail. Let them associate freely with other criminals, who are made aware of their crimes before they get to jail.
5. That ALL details of their crimes be public. Not one detail to be suppressed.
The first officer on the scene, I noted, said we only know about one tenth of what he knows. Please, tell all. It isnt fair the extent of their depravity be covered up.
Brianna…I cant bear to think of what they did to you. I wish your parents had been abortions. Infact, I wish they had been tortured babies who died the way you died, suffering what you suffered. I’ve never heard of such suffering. Such selfish self-absorbed non-empathetic narcissistic parents and relatives I cant get a grasp on that reality.
I just cant get your last hours out of my mind. Threw at the ceiling, to smash to the floor. 3 times!!! Then raped. I have 5 kids, and want more. I am thankful to be able to have children, and thank God I was blessed with them. How can anyone hold their own baby and not feel that? Not feel love, pride, and all those things normal parents feel? Sorry Brianna. But I will pursue this issue to the ends of the earth and the ends of my days. Your death and suffering will not be in vain. I want to see your memory in a law in your name, that will help to protect other littlies like you. Those monsters didnt care, but I care.

Enough,
I am not sure about the laws in NM, but in most states, if the child was not in the custody of the State when the child dies, usually the State does not have a choice in the burial, nor would they have custody of the burial site. Because the family paid for it, they have no choice. It is horrible and unfortunate, but that is the way it is. I know that there are some petitions going around to see if this can be changed. Hopefully something will work. Personally, I would be very surprised if the “family” has even been to her grave at all. The only reason I see that they have done this (her grave) is to have control and make it look as if they have “won”.

I just figured since this is a child abuse case, that they would take over anyway just as they would have had the child lived (or at least I hope they would have!). The system is so technical and screwed up it’s unbelievable. It amazes me that these animals get protection even after all the crimes they have committed against an innocent baby who could not in the slightest defend herself. And it’s not just here, this injustice happens all over the world (e.g. Peter Connolly aka Baby P’s case – what those parents got was a slap on the wrist!!). I wish more could be done; I wish there were something I could do. And I found the petition you were referring to about removing the cage and signed it. 🙂
I agree with you totally. This family is just set on making this poor baby suffer even in death and laughing in our faces in the process. But I believe that won’t last long – they will get theirs, big time.

Wondering ho God could let this kind of thing happen to a sweet innocent 5 month old. I can’t get the picture of the mother just biting her sweet child, the father and uncle having sex with a 5 month old what the hell? Them throwing her in the air and letting her fall to the floor like a rag doll, what was she feeling thinking? Was she fed, held in a loving way, was she changed, all these questions constantly runing through my mind. I looked at my daughter every night and held her tight and kissed her head while she slept and jus can’t imagine how anyone could ever hurt a baby. Did she ever get a kiss, a loving touch? Brianna I am so sorry my sweet baby girl. If I had known I would have protected you and loved you! I will never forget this story and hope that I can get the visions of these crazy assholes out of my head doing this to the this sweet baby!

It should be a requirement to have documentation sent in to the state department once a month to prove a clean bill of health for these children. You know her abuse just didnt start overnight, and these parents love their free money to much to possibly risk having it cut off. A required doctors visit could have set off warning bells for this baby. We need to stand up and start demanding change for these kids.

what makes me so angry is that if these monsters hated u so much to hurt u to death, why didnt they give u up for adoption from day 1 ? im saddened to read that u had to live with such sadistic barbarians who cannot be called human by any means.
im praying for u and everytime i feed, play with baby, lull him to sleep, make him laugh, clean up and give him a bath , i will think of u. i will wonder how these barbarians could lay their hands on ur soft harmless body, and i will shed a tear for u.
u r an angel and God might have chosen that u die so early so that this tragedy will not continue further. i know thats is harsh to say, but since a whole lot of people were in on this against u (ur stupid so-called parents, ur grandmother and uncle , even the neighbours who pretended to hear nothing and shut their ears as u cried for help), it seems that only God could have helped u get out of this horrible life u were living. And so He did. He took you from a life of misery and made u a real angel, living among other angels, singing in heaven.
the people who hurt u deserve the death penalty.
i think capital punushment should be implemented again in america. child abusers and pedophiles deserve to die and not live among us in the community. there is a thin chance that they will change their ways. so we need to get rid of such scum before they pullute our lives with their dirty and evil ways.
brianna, the thought of u crying for help breaks my heart. u r an angel.
rest in peace with God baby.

I just saw on you tube what Brianna’s so called parents did to her, and I am so horrified that people like that could hurt a beautiful five month old without having any remorse about it. the penalties the court gave her parents is nothing compare to what Brianna had to suffer. No one can said they did not know what was going on c’mon it was five months of pain and torture what she had to endure. I believed that these people should have gotten the death penalty for what they did, but even that is nothing compare to what they did while in jail they should get beaten and rape everyday so they can go thru the pain that little Brianna went thru.
Since ive heard of what these Demons did to you ive been waking up in the middle of the night and go into my babies’ room and cry asking God why he lets people like that have children, and people that are good cannot have any. I cannot ever imagine ever be being able to hurt my two girls.
The only thing that rejoice me is that you are no longer suffering. Rest in peace Brianna.

Sweetheart
I thought that you would like to know,
That someone’s thoughts go where you go,
That someone never can forget,
The hours we spent, since first we met.
That life is richer, sweeter far,
For such a Sweetheart, that you are.
And now my constant prayer will be,
That God will keep you safe for me.
I realize that I did not spend any time with you in real life but I feel that since I read about you, I cherish every word that is mentioned about you. I want a daughter so much and if your family would of given you up for adoption….I would of taken you without any hesitation. You are so beautiful and I will not only care a picture of my two boys, I will carry a picture of you. I will honor you on the day you came into the world and the day your life was taken. You are now with our Lord and I know that you are no longer hurting, crying, and wondering “Why is my mommy biting me”. “Why is she hitting me”. “Why is my daddy touching me and throwing me up in the air”. “Why is my uncle also touching me and doing things to me that hurt me so much”. “Why is my grandmother and uncle keeping quiet about the bruises and bitemarks they see”. We can only ask WHY WHY… To Stephanie Lopez: Please do us all a big favor. Stay in Prison and if you get out….Don’t have anymore babies. To the other family members: Hope you ask for Forgiveness because you will be dealt with by God (that’s if the public don’t get you first).
I love you Brianna and I will honor you on July 19, 2010. You are a sweetheart….

Little Innocent Beautiful Baby Girl. I am haunted by what happened to you. I have just learned of your story and I have been sick for days trying to figure out how on earth anyone could have harmed a perfect little baby. I am ashamed to share a planet with humans that are capable of doing such grotesque things. You sweet pie. I cannot imagine how you suffered and what you must have gone through in your little heart. Cold, hungry, alone, enduring pain at the hands of your parents and family, and just needing love. Probably wondering when you would be loved, when it would stop. You cried out for help and all around you were monsters who wanted to hurt you. Why? You’d done nothing but be perfect. I cannot accept it. You have affected me, and I too love you like so many others. I would do anything in my power to have saved you from that. If only I could have come and swooped you away from that horror. I would give you the warmest most delicate love like you and all babies deserve. My brain and heart hurt from trying to believe people could cause the slightest bit of harm to an infant let alone beat and rape one to death over such a long period of time. I still cannot contemplate how one person, let alone THREE hurt you day after day after day. Knowing they were killing you. You had done nothing. You wanted nothing but love. Rage fills my heart when I think of those people. Utter rage. I think I would enjoy doing to them what they did to you. I hope and pray that wherever you are you feel the immense emotion and love of all of those, including me, who adore you and would do anything to have protected you. I hope you feel it. You deserved sweet kisses, tender cuddles, laughing faces, happy touches, songs, toys, birthdays, hugs and all the rest. I can’t comprehend the psychology of what took place, the hell storm, that you lived in. But it is over. Now, I absolutely have no other choice but to believe that you are in God’s arms, happy and pain free, filled with love. Everytime I hold my baby daughter, or deal with my other children I think of how you should have been loved, and it makes me an even better parent. I hold you in my heart, I always will. I will always honor you. And I hope someday your story will inspire me to do something to protect other little innocent children in some way. All my love goes to you sweet angel. When I get to heaven I will hold and kiss you the way mother’s should.

I saw the petition come up on my wall this morning on Face Book, to have the cage removed and I went to read more because as the mother of a child born “sleeping”, I don’t think anyone should be able to tell me what I can and can’t do at her resting place. I assumed the family cared for her and wanted their privacy but it appears I was wrong in first assumption.
I am not an emotional person normally but this story… it broke my heart. I sobbed and sobbed for what this little girl went thru. I haven’t read all of the case information, I don’t know if I could take it, it’s hurtful enough with what I’ve already seen but I do wonder about the family that isn’t behind bars.. DID they know what was going on? I don’t know how long the abuse was going on, or many details, but if someone knows what is happening and doesn’t report it, then I believe they should be held responsible for their lack of actions. Where is the little boy? What about the twin brothers son? Were either of them abused (the brother and cousin)? I hope that both of these children are with people that are in no way related to these monsters that called themselves family to this little angel. Not knowing if the rape happened the night/day this little girl died, or if it was happening all along… I don’t think I could even let this grandmother ever be alone with my child, if I could work up the ability to let her be anywhere near my child. Surely someone in the family had changed her diapers at some point and noticed something wasn’t right? With broken bones, the child had to be in pain… my babies had to go in every at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, then 12 month check up’s where the diaper was removed, and their hips and so such were checked to make sure they were right, her whole body was checked, to make sure that no one had hurt her in any way. I was always present in the room and appreciated that the dr never took my word for it that she wasn’t abused. When I had to use the state insurance assistance (not medicaid), if I missed those appointments, the insurance would be cancelled… it should be mandatory with all children, regardless of insurance carrier or lack of…
This little girl will continue to touch people’s hearts for many many years.
Rest in peace Brianna, unfortunately there are many many more children there with you who’ve endured the kind of pain you had on this earth, and I hope that you’re all laughing and playing together and have no memory at all of anything you went thru here on earth.

Until we all demand that politicians address child protection before electing them and holding them accountable we will see more and more cases like this. Just as Lisa Steinberg’s murder changed nothing regarding child abuse laws, I doubt things are different in New Mexico. If you want to make a difference, I suggest joining PROTECT, which is a grass roots organization devoted to lobbying on behalf of children, since children have no lobby. In fact, our society sees children as property. This must change. Here’s hoping that mommy, daddy and uncle drop the soap.

Alcohol may be factor in fatal crash on U.S. 70
By Ashley Meeks ameeks@lcsun-news.com
Posted: 05/08/2010 11:38:42 PM MDT
LAS CRUCES – Alcohol — not speed — contributed to a four-vehicle crash Friday night that killed two Las Cruces men, according to New Mexico State Police.
Ruben Espinoza Jr., 28, of Alamogordo was headed west on U.S. 70 just after 8:30 p.m. when he appears to have made an improper lane change near mile post 154, state police Capt. Rich Libicer said.
Espinoza’s 2004 Chrysler sedan smashed into another westbound vehicle, a black 2004 GMC pickup driven by 30-year-old Robert Walters Jr., one of the men charged in the 2002 Baby Brianna case.
“They became tangled up and went across the median,” Libicer said.
The GMC pickup was torn in half and flipped over by an eastbound tractor-trailer, which also hit the Chrysler sedan. The pickup was then struck by another eastbound vehicle, a red 2002 Ford pickup driven by 42-year-old Manuel Campos of Las Cruces, whose 10-year-old grandson, Isaiah Campos, was riding in the back seat. Manuel Campos was killed at the scene. Walters, who was convicted of failing to report child abuse after his 5-month-old niece, Brianna, was brutally abused to death by other relatives, also died instantly.
The boy and Espinoza, who received severe injuries and remains in critical condition, were transported by helicopter to University Medical Center in El Paso.
The driver of the 2005 Volvo tractor-trailer, 55-year-old David Hayes of Independence, Mo., was treated at Memorial Medical Center for minor injuries. Hayes and Isaiah Campos were both listed in stable condition Saturday.
Mayfield High School Assistant Principal Jeff Brilliant, his wife and children were in their backyard a mile away when they heard the impact.
“It didn’t sound like a wreck. It sounded like an explosion,” Brilliant said. “And not a firecracker explosion, we’re talking like a bomb explosion is what it sounded like to me.”
State police Sgt. Ron Taylor described the damage to the two pickups as “about the most destructive I’ve seen.”
“There was debris scattered for a long way on both sides of the road,” he said. “One of the wheels of one of the vehicles was out in a field north of U.S. 70.”
Results of a blood test are pending for Espinoza, who does not face criminal charges yet in the crash.
Investigators “could smell the odor of alcohol in the car and on (Espinoza’s) person at the hospital,” Taylor said. “A strong odor. Someone told me there was at least one (beer) can in his car, but it could have been punctured by the wreck.”
Espinoza’s criminal history includes multiple traffic offenses, including a conviction for reckless driving, a conviction for driving with a suspended license and two convictions for failing to use seat belts, according to court records. He also was convicted of battery against a household member and disorderly conduct in 2003 and for marijuana possession in 2002.
And in 2006, Espinoza was arrested by state police and arrested on charges including drunken driving – with a .07 blood-alcohol content, slightly less than the legal limit. Those charges were dismissed in 2008.
The investigation is ongoing into Friday’s wreck.
“There are (no charges) at this time – there are some results we have to wait on,” Libicer said. “We’ll wait on the results of blood tests and go from there.”
The crash scene is being reconstructed with the assistance of the Las Cruces Police Department.
“We’re dealing with so many vehicles, so much evidence at the scene – we want to make sure we’re getting it right,” Libicer said.
Highway traffic on U.S. 70 between Sonoma Ranch Boulevard and Mesa was detoured on frontage roads until 5:30 a.m. for westbound traffic and 7 a.m. for eastbound traffic

I just read the most recent response and I just kills me to see that Stephanie Lopez is doing so well, she should be suffering right now, she has no remorse in the world. It is coming though. I know you are in a better place now and you will be well taken care of and loved there in heaven, you have a special place in my heart now and I will continue to pray for you!

To MICHELLE: thank you so much for writing back. I have a few more questions and I’m hoping you write back again. As we all know Stephanie had a 18month old son at the time of Briannas death and he was not abused at all so did she ever say why they only abused Brianna? was it beacuse she was a girl? was it because it was not a planned pregnancy? was she a unsettled baby thats why she got frustrated? Did she ever think of giving Brianna away for adoption rather then abusing her? Did she have a bad childhood, was she ever abused by her family as a child? Does she feel that Andy and Steven did the right thing by abusing Brianna like that? Did she ever mention that she loves her son,Andy or Steven? I know this is alot of questions and you may not know the answear to most of it but what ever you know please let me know. There are alot of babies being abused all over the world like Brianna but Briannas story and her photos have touched my heart so deeply. she is the last thing on my mind before i go to sleep and the first thing on my mind when i wake up. I have 2 children myself and love them more than anything else in the world and i would give my life away just to see them happy and healthy and I’m sure any normal mother would feel that way. I know that sometimes its very tuff but there is NO EXCAUSE to abuse a child so thats why I dont understand why they abused Brianna and why only her, so when I first heard her story I thought that they must have mental illness or be on drugs but they only did this to Brianna and not her brother thats why i have millions of questions. I hope Stephanie comes out soon cos I’ll be waiting for her like so many other people. I will kick the shit out of her and be proud to go to prison with my head high.

There are not enough words. Brianna – I think of you every day. I pull the videos and stories from the internet in disbelief…How could any mother allow that to happen much less contribute to your pain. I have a 15 mo old and a 3 mo old – I fear for their future in this society. I pray every night for God to protect them and keep them safe from harm. I realize you passed away 8 years ago, but the pain is still very deep and real as if it was only yesterday. Time has not erased your memory from millions of people…I know you suffered and my heart suffers for you. I know now you are an angel watching over all children around the world – OUR PRECIOUS LITTLE GUARDIAN ANGEL – I never met you, but I love you with a passion so deep. I’m sorry that worthless piece of trash did not love you – I would have. Your memory will live on in my heart for eternity. That piece of shit will get released one day…she will not live the moment she sees her freedom again. I will be there with a baseball bat to beat her down – my rage may even kill her. I wish there is something I can do to contribute to your memory. I love you so much baby girl – I know you were in pain, I know you were unloved…but you feel no more pain and God is holding you in his arms now. Be at peace my love – people were unaware of what was going on when you were alive…but millions are aware now and fighting for you. It does not matter how long they stay improsoned the moment they see the light of freedom will be the last their eyes will see. Rest my darling precious angel…YOU ARE LOVED!!!

Mathew 18:6 (King James) — But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
I have never heard a more sad story of child abuse and neglect in my life as this one. Once you hear the story, it stays with you. I have struggled in my head over and over again to try to understand what could possibly cause someone to do such horrible things to an innocent helpless baby or to think it is okay. Brianna had no one, literally, to protect her. If just one person in that home had loved her enough to do something, it might have made all the difference in the world. I have cried more over this one than any other story, and there are many. It troubles me terribly to know that such people even exist. In my opinion, there will never be a way that these people (who you can hardly call parents or family) can possibly pay for the pain and injustice they caused baby Brianna; not in this world anyway. Their day is yet to come to be held accountable.

Whilst I understand all your feelings of anger, disgust and revenge, there is, unfortunately, nothing we can do about the pain little Baby Brianna had to go through in her short life; but what we can do is put our energy into signing the petition to have her cage removed and give her a proper resting place, a headstone, give her her name back; so sign the petition under http://www.gopetition.com/online/26696.html and for all of us that have a computer, we surely have the odd dollar, pound, euro, whichever currency that we can put to a good cause, for example to the Remember me foundation under http://www.theremembermefoundation.com/
For the love of Baby Brianna and all other murdered children.

Dear Sweet Briana,
I heard about your story the other day and it sickens me to know what all you went through. You never deserved any of that they did to you. Due to sin in the world, this happend to you. But Becuase of God love and grace you are resting in a perfect place. There will be a time when the people who hurt you will be judged for their actions. They are reminded daily of what they did to you. I know you are in a safer loving place now. Because of you laws are being changed. Your death was not and will never be forgotten. You have touched many peoples lives. I pray that who ever reads your story will realize how precious life is and never take it for granted. As you went through days/weeks of torture I just pray that God took all your pain away. I am sorry for everything you went through. I never knew you, but you will always and forever be a part of my life. I hope that the cage around your grave is a daily reminder to your family of what horrific things you went through…..You will never be caged again!!! You are free!!!!
Love Always!

I have never felt such anger and sadness as I do now after learning of this poor baby girl. The three perpetrators should be tortured to death in the same manor in which this poor lil angel lived.

I wish that someone would have gotten to Brianna in time. I cry everyday now for this sweet baby. I look at my son who is only three months old, and I cant believe someone would do something so heinous to such an innocent, defenseless baby. I am comforted by the fact that I am among so many others that love this baby as I do. The love she did not feel in life I can only pray she feels now. I love her dearly, and I hope to meet her in heaven one day. RIP little Brianna, you are loved by many!

I read that Stephanie is not really having a bad time in prison, and that she has lots of friends.

I myself am looking in to writing a letter because I just cant stand the fact that these people are not suffering enough and they have no remorse for what they did. If enough people get on the band wagon, I think we together as citizens of the US, can make sure that they get what they deserve. If they are allowed to live on this earth, then they need to suffer while doing it! When they die God will judge them, and they can burn in HELL!

Brianna’s story has touched everyone’s heart and it has brought more tears than I thought was possible. It is a cruel and horrific world we live in and while I commend everyone for keeping Brianna’s story alive and making people aware of the need to report all child abuse, we all need to consider offering our services as foster carers. There are many children abused and removed from homes only to be put into an abusive foster care home because too few people put themselves forward as carers. Flowers on a grave will not bring Brianna back but we can make her death mean something, if we all offer ourselves as foster carers we will be helping other children like Brianna and showing them the love she should have known.

I vow I will never forget this story and instead I will turn up the dial on how vigilant I’ve become to everything around me. It take a village to raise a child and it’s time for the village to stand and say ENOUGH! God will condemn the people who did this to her far more then we ever could with our courts or our words… but it’s our duty now to not let her life go in vein. Children don’t have the voices necessary to stand for themselves and they need us as their advocates… friend or foe do not be ashamed, afraid or so PC that you don’t speak on their behalf!

Does anyone know his outcome?
Also, seeing notes above about sending copies of the pictures, news stories, etc to some of the fellow inmates… I think that is a FABULOUS idea, especially since there are reports on the internet that Stephanie (the mother) doesn’t have such a bad time in prison and has lots of friends… I didn’t think that happened with baby killers in prison???? Just doesn’t seem right, I’m more then happy to contribute a few stamps and papers to end that good time she’s having!

I know this happened almost 9 years ago, but the images and the pain in my heart will linger on forever. I am wondering myself about Brianna’s brother. I cannot wrap my head around this and think of the horror that her brother had to see and experience. I believe everything happens for a reason, but there is no DAMN good reason why this had to happen. And as for the family who have the nerve to place a cage around her grave as if she were an animal, UNBELIEVABLE!!! Every family member that knew of this DESERVES to be in prison and the authorities should post pictures of beautiful Baby Brianna all around their cell so they NEVER, EVER forget the TORTURE, PAIN and unforgivable actions they caused not only to their innocent child, but to the human race who has been affected by all of this. As much more as I would like to say, there are no words that can explain how I feel. The only glimpse of hope that fills my soul is that there is a Heaven where Brianna and every other victimized child can live in eternal happiness.

I found out about baby Brianna while following the story of Caylee Anthony. The mother of Caylee Anthony, Casey Anthony, will finally be going to trial next week. I was online trying to find out any update information on the case when I clicked on a website and found Brianna’s story…It has been days and I can’t get her out of my head. I have been crying, heartbroken, and deeply saddened. I too have signed the petition, and joined the Remember Me Foundation. I dream of winning the lotto (lol) so I can take all the unwanted, mistreated, and abused babies. This story is a very sad reminder of the world we live in today. I have no words for her family…but on the inside I have so many emotions whirling around. I always thought I was overly sensitive because any case dealing with a young child captures me. I cry and feel helpless. I feel empty for not being able to do more and prevent this from happening. I find comfort in knowing that there are so many of you who feel the same. Brianna’s story has touched so many, and I strongly believe that she is going to bring about change. She has educated us and reminded us of all the unfortunate children that have endured a life injustice. To Brianna, my dear if you were only mine…my sweet child you can rest now. You will live on in our hearts, our thoughts, and our dreams. My sweet child, my dear, you are loved. I will continue to whisper this to you and your birthday will never be forgotten!

I have to wonder just how evil and sick some people are raping a 5 month old baby and who puts the fingers up babies anuses to clean their little bottoms up? Did they feed this baby ??

I saw this for the first time last night, I felt my heart literally break into pieces for this innocent beautiful baby, and today I couldn’t even make it through work, I had to come home early from the office, just thinking of Brianna and why she had to suffer at the hands of these degenerate sick addicted people. Brianna you have motivated me to work harder to achieve my long-time dream of becoming a successful writer and if that dream should ever come true, I swear I will do all in my power to make a difference. Much respect to the modern day heroes who are on the front-line, people who worked on your case and toiled to bring you justice. Love you and remember you forever Brianna.

this broke my heart, and i just did all the research i can…trying to find out EVERYTHING about it. i know all the lawyers name that helped the demons, the prisons they moved in/out, all the horrific details of the crime,
and the parole date is in 2016 IF THE F-CKERS GET IT. we CANNOT let these ppl out of prison – if they are, then their address must be publicized ANYWHERE they go.
they moved prisons, but everywhere they go, the internet, the story, the hatred will follow them. I am most curious about the grandma and the other relatives who KNEW but DID NOTHING – SADISTICALLY ENJOYING THE UTTER DESTRUCTION OF A INFANT”S LIFE? EVEN WORSE THAN A WAR CRIME. where are they now?
This will not be forgotten ever. I am sure that people will get these MONSTERS WHEREVER THEY ARE. the law is a sorry excuse trying to protect them – DO THEY EVEN KNOW THE EXTENT OF WHAT THESE MONSTERS DID?! baby brianna was CRYING whilst they did all those HORRIFIC ATROCIOUS acts – she was still ALIVE AND FEELING.
how can anyone i beg, PROTECT THESE MONSTERS?!! SORRY EXCUSE FOR “JUSTICE”!!! EVEN in GOd’s EYE – YOU ARE MEANT TO PROTECT THE WEAK AND VICTIMIZED – NOT THE MONSTERS THEMSELVES.
And to those one or two disillusioned people i’ve seen talking about Vengence/REvenge not good – is it hard to understand the simple humane feeling of wanting to eradicate EVIL in this world to protect our future ones and warning for anyone else to even THINK of doing something like that, and for JUSTICE for baby brianna who died horrifically in their hands? It is a message to all that those who do this will not live in peace, ever.

baby brianna
you were to young, innocent and fragile to understand the horror in the events in your life, and for that i am thankful.
your short life had a purpose, and that purpose was to leave a lasting effect on whoever comes upon your tragic story. to teach each and every one of us that has heard your story to cherish their lives, their sons or daughter, and their loving parents.
your spirit lives on baby bri, through every parent that wishes they were given the gift of a beautiful girl, through every reader that wishes they could have saved you from the life you were given and give you the love and care you deserved
i know you are looking down on us from a better place, thankful you were taken from the life you were placed in.
i pray for you, that you rest in peace, that you are given the luxury
and love you were never given in your short life.
you continue to inspire me everyday.
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
to your offenders
i hope you are getting what you deserve
it takes a sick coward to put a little girl who has done no wrong in this world through the torture and pain you put your daughter/niece through
i know you are definitely getting the worst possible treatment where you are, but still i wish i could be there to spit in your disgusting faces.
why would you bring a little girl into this world to put her through the things you did
notably the mother. how could you stand by and watch as your beautiful girl was abused? how?
where you are now, there are women that cry themselves to sleep because they miss their children, and you are there for abusing and hurting yours?
was your life so terrible that you had to abuse an innocent and beautiful child?
again i pray for the little girl who never had a chance BECAUSE OF YOU.
and again i pray that you are getting what you deserve.

I came across this story by accident and I have cried for about 4 hrs . on and off and had a hard time sleeping. I don’t even have children but the 4 legged kind.. I have 3 cats and let me tell you they are treated soo far better then this innocent baby girl. She was only a tiny, defensless baby and i’m shocked at that her own parents did this to her and an uncle. And the grandmother and the other uncle. as well for “just watching” . I, like you all, have been haunted when I stumbled across this horror story just 2 days ago.These parents also have a son 18mos and he appears to have none of this done him and Andy Walters did say , their son also bit Brianna on certain occasoins He bit his little sister! Now since when does an 18 mos old know how to bite another baby! This picture all fits a certain profile. I agree w/Gary This is beyond child abuse. Way beyond child abuse This is intentional brutality, torture and murder in the first…premediated. And this is how it should be tried. It was planned from the start just as if they were going to prey on some helpless adult , who they find gay, retarted, weak or whatever.. These people had other options and have done this to this poor helpless baby for their own pleasure, hatred,anger or frustations . As her mother says well I was frustrated. At what ? It’s not like she was the first. Steph already had the exp. of caring for her son when he was Brianna’s ; size. . Duh !!! So don’t give me this frustrated new mother crap!! She and Andy knew what to expect… Was it was because she was a girl? or a mistake? Or premature? One comment above ( good point by the way) suggested that that’s the reason they hated her ’cause she was a premie?! Hate her? Your own baby. So, back to you Gary . I agree it should have been tried as murder.. Don’t know laws in NM, but, maybe the law there prevents it.. But I still agree w/you 100% And baby Brianna I can’t get you out of my mind . Good night and be safe…

Parole decisions can be changed. Ask Eugene Washington,who expected to be released on May 26, 2012, until the parole board received letters and calls to review their decision. He is still in prison with a new parole hearing at the end of August. Letters and phone calls DO help in these situations. Do not count it over until she walks out of the door.

Like everyone else who has posted here, I’m outraged about this crime. My brain can’t even wrap around what that little girl must have endured. I too am searching for a “why” to account for the abuse, but there are no good answers, nothing makes sense.
But I believe that the males were fueled by a hatred for women. The repeated rape and brutal attacks supports misogyny. Brianna was an easy target for them to release their pent up anger toward women on. Also, from what I’ve read, the male children in the household weren’t abused.
I would like to know more about the psychology of the perpetrators. Does anyone know if the court ordered psychological profiles of the abusers? Did they have a history of abuse? I can find so little about it online.
A few years ago, I read about a similar case in the UK. The body of a baby girl who’d been atrociously abused was found in a wall when home owners were renovating. She too had been tortured horribly during her short life, including sexually. Her body had been there many years, and I seem to recall that the suspects were no longer living so an investigation wasn’t pursued. As a result, the case didn’t receive much press. This morning I did a Google search for the news article, but it’s no longer coming up. It saddens me that she has been forgotten.

Why? Because law enforcement and the courts must follow the law, not just make it up when they want to. NM made new laws due to the tragedy which make the consequences for killing a child harsher. I believe they were given the harshest sentences possible at the time. Personally, I believe they all deserved the death penalty, but for the crimes they committed in NM, it was not a possibility (from what I have read).https://mylifeofcrime.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php?approved=1#comments-form

I have written to the District Attorney on this case wondering if there is any way anyone can do anything to get them moved back to the New Mexico jail where they belong. WHY would that judge care about their safety??? It BAFFLES me that any judge would take that into consideration for one moment. They should not feel safe. That poor beautiful baby girl probably never felt safe a moment in her life. I have a 3 month old baby girl and I treasure every smile and giggle she has. Maybe if these child killers and pedophiles wouldnt keep getting special treatment and being put into “safe” areas in jail, these things would stop happening!! What are they going to be more scared of, having a roof over their head and 3 meals a day with no one bothering them, or all the men in prison who do not stand for crimes against children??? Makes me wonder why these people have any rights at all when they clearly have no regard for human life. Once you do inhumane acts like this, you shouldnt be considered human, therefore no rights. Period.

When I first read about Baby Brianna’s story I was so emotional it took me many hours just to get through the entire story, I just bleed from my heart for what evil had happened to this pure sweet baby. I am blessed to have 3 beautiful kids, ages 4, 2 and 6 months. I just can’t look at my 6 month daughter without seeing Brianna! I was so heartbroken I couldn’t eat anything for days. I showered my kids with extra hugs and kisses and asked God to past it on to Brianna. After a few days I went from being emotional to full out Rage!!! I think the entire Walters /Lopez families are narcissistic sociopaths! What about that grandmother and uncle? Who would condone this behavior towards their niece and granddaughter unless also involved with the abuse. I wish I had more info on this family and their upbringings for they are so selfish, cold and have no empathy towards human life even their own flesh and blood. Just watching all of their reactions and behavior during the trial was so disturbing, they showed no emotion for anyone but themselves and absolutely no remorse for what they did to pure Brianna. I do believe in God and I know Brianna is with him but I also think that God would expect us to react. It’s a shame that these crimes don’t already carry the strictest sentences and that someone could do more time in prison for tax fraud. I believe it is our duty as adults and as those who know better to speak up and act. Crimes like child abuse, child neglect or torture, child murderers, child pornography, pedophiles and child rapists! I truly believe that anyone who commits crimes against children just cannot be a part of society, they belong locked up far away from children. There should be a life sentence that carries NO possibility of parole on those who commit crimes against children. The death penalty would be too simple but all their privileges should be rejected (such as protection or receiving money and visits from family}. And for those who don’t report abuse, their punishment should be based on the crimes witnessed, like Brianna’s grandmother and Uncle they should have received at least 10 years especially since they leaved inside the home. I pray that we can make a difference for our children and their future. The sad truth is most people don’t want to face the facts of these kinds of crimes against children and I hope we can change that for the sake of all the babies out there who are suffering. To Brianna and all the children suffering- My heart is so big for you all and I love you xoxo
