This is my story, life as a victim.
I was born February 14, 2002, Valentine’s day and I was premature. I was curious about the outside world and had no idea what it had in store for me.
Where do I start to begin my story? In my brief five months here on earth, it was filled with so much pain. I have been told by angels that childhood is suppose to be full of joy. I did not know any of this.
Not once did I have a friendly face to reach out to or a hand to hold onto. Instead, no one answered my cries. Not crying from being hungry or tired but crying from my ribs being broken. I was beaten and bitten by the only family I knew.
One night my parents were drinking beer again with my uncle. My mother passes out and leaves me with my dad and his brother. They continue to drink while playing games by throwing me into the air, and not always catching me. Where is my mother? Where is anyone to help me? What more do I have to endure? Then my uncle rapes me, I am only five months old. My injuries are severe and my anus is torn. I lay here crying while my dad and his brother fall asleep.
The following day, they awake and realize that I am not well. They rush me to the hospital but it is too late for me. I have a broken skull and several broken bones. I also have bite marks and internal injures from being raped by my uncle.
My injuries are documented by my autopsy photos. This is the only picture available of me because during my brief life my family never took a single picture of me.
I am not sad now and I am smiling down from above, smiling at mommy, the only mom I have come to know. Susana Martinez, District Attorney that worked so hard to pass my bill, Brianna’s Bill.
What happened to me should happen to no child.
Remember me always,
Love,
Brianna

Sleep tight Brianna, you are in my prayers.
June 24, 2005 at 11:12 pm
I hope you are enjoying heaven, unlike Earth, Brianna.
June 24, 2005 at 11:27 pm
Where is the people that did this to her, they should DIE like her. bless her and WHERE is the mother?
That poor child, tears.
June 25, 2005 at 12:33 am
I HOPE THE MOTHER, FATHER AND UNCLE ROT IN HELL. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE CONTINUE TO ABUSE THEIR OWN CHILDREN. IF YOU DON’WANT THEM THERE ARE ZILLIONS OF AGENCIES TO HELP..NO QUESTIONS ASKED. GIVE THEM AWAY TO SOMEONE WHO WILL TAKE CARE OF THEM.
June 25, 2005 at 1:34 am
BRIANNA , WHAT A SIN AND WHAT A HORRIBLE LIFE YOU HAD TO ENDURE. MAYBE SOMEONE DID CALL CHILDREN SERVICES AND REPORT THE ABUSE AND THEY BOTCHED THE INVESTIGATION. I REPORTED A WOMAN WHO IS ON CRACK AND SHE ABUSES HER PRESCRIPTIONS DRUGS AND SHE IS DRUNK. HER FOUR YEAR OLD SON IS LOCKED IN HIS BEDROOM AND GOES FOR DAYS AT A TIME WITHOUT A BATH OR FOOD. HIS TEETH ARE ROTTING OUR OF HIS MOUTH AND HE IS SO NEGLECTED AND MISTREATED AND ABUSED . IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THIS LITTLE GUY HE WONT KNOW I CALLED TO TRY TO GET HIM HELP AND CHILDRENS SERVICES DIDNT DO A PROPER INVESTIGATION, IN YOUR SHORT , PAINFUL LIFE MAYBE SOMEONE DID CARE AND CALL FOR HELP AND IT WENT IGNORED LIKE MY CALL.
June 25, 2005 at 2:08 am
Brianna your story made me cry, your uncle should suffer for what he did to you. Child abusers deserve no place on earth.
June 25, 2005 at 2:34 am
Brianna,
Your story made me feel very sad. I am glad you finally told your story. I am glad you have a voice here.
I am sorry you did not get the parents you so much deserved in this life, parents who would have loved, cherished, protected and nurtured you.
June 25, 2005 at 3:41 am
Brianna,
Little angel sorry you had to live through that.
June 25, 2005 at 3:46 am
dear brianna, i am sooooo sorry this happened to you…your so called mother, father and uncle should go to jail for life. they should never see the light of day again…sleep with the angels sweetheart, you will be cared for and loved now.
June 25, 2005 at 5:04 am
Brianna,
Your parents could have given you to me, I would have loved and protected you. Surely the angels now hold you and sing you lull-a-bys. Your little life was filled with so much pain and sorrow – but hopefully it was not in vain – as you and your tears and one photo will be remembered and serve as a guiding light to all children, with hopes that one day our legal system will ensure that children will not have to suffer as you did. xoxo
June 25, 2005 at 6:06 am
Brianna,
I wish you had someone to protect you from your own family. My heart hurts for you. I have two babies of my own and could not imagine how anyone can hurt a helpless baby. I only pray that these monsters get punished for what they have done to you and are never able to hurt another innocent child again.
You are with the angels now and I hope you can feel the love people have for you, the love you should have gotten while you were here. Please watch over my babies.
Christine
June 25, 2005 at 6:12 am
God bless that poor little baby. My heart aches for the torture her precious little body went through.
This is a wonderful website. You have done a good thing bringing this to visibility.
June 25, 2005 at 9:38 am
Brianna, you have touched my life in such a way. Each time I see you I am brought to tears.
Please know that your short time here with us will make a difference for all children everywhere.
Rest in peace sweetheart.
June 25, 2005 at 9:44 pm
Brianna
Knowing you are in God’s arms now, helps to lighten the unbearable sadness that anyone could do this to a baby.
June 26, 2005 at 12:32 am
Dearest Baby Brianna,
I am saddened and heartsick about the pain and agony that you suffered. Your precious life was cut short, but you are now with Jesus and the angels.
You know perfect love in the arms of Jesus. Be assured that if those who harmed you do not receive the punishment they deserve in this life, that Christ will punish them in eternity and will avenge your death.
He says “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.” Matthew 18:6
June 26, 2005 at 1:55 am
Dearest Angel Brianna,
You were an Angel on Earth but no one saw that until it was too late. Now, you are an Angel in Heaven and you have someone down here trying to make it better for all the little children before and after you. You are loved by many here that you never knew.
Your little life was far too short, far too brutal, far too painful. But you are safe now in the arms of the Angels. You now have the love and comfort that every baby should feel. You are safe in the arms of God, He who created you and has you Home again.
Rest in Peace, sweet Angel. Rest in Peace.
June 26, 2005 at 6:34 am
What a horrible story. This poor little baby. What is wrong with our society that we have monsters like this!!! What happens to the monsters that do these types of crimes?? A few years in jail (maybe) and then back on the streets.
June 26, 2005 at 9:20 am
Brianna, every time I look at you I see my son. You two could pass for twins. I keep you in my prayers every night and day. Your life has so much meaning and you will never be forgotten. Sleep tight little angel.
June 26, 2005 at 9:37 am
Sweet, sweet baby. If I could have rocked you in my arms and sang to you as I fed you a bottle. I have no doubt I’d have fallen in love with you. As would 100’s of other mommy’s.
Angel Baby, I am so very sorry you weren’t born to another, a different mommy!
All of us here would have loved to love you!
Now you have God himself to rock you and sing to you and feed you a bottle!
Rest In Peace, sweet angel baby
June 27, 2005 at 3:05 pm
Brianna, you are the light that guides my days. Help me to always know the correct path to take in life. Watch over me always and I promise to never forget what happened to you. I pray every night and say goodnight to you. I only wish I could somehow of prevented what happened. I was not aware of all the pain you suffered but now that I am please transfer it to me so you can soar higher.
Rest in peace sweetheart. I love you too.
June 29, 2005 at 11:38 am
Good night sweetheart, you will never be forgotten. Love always, tomorrow and forever.
June 30, 2005 at 12:14 am
I will never be the same after reading about your short life. Why does this have to happen to innocent trusting children? The penalty for any crimes against a child should be 100 fold than any other. If you can look into the eyes of a child and hurt them you deserve the worst!
June 30, 2005 at 5:32 am
That is really a tragedy what happened to the girl.
July 2, 2005 at 10:23 am
Hey Honey, You know I always think about you and pray for you every night. I know you are safe where noone can hurt you.
I need to to say some prayers for a couple of missing children. Matel Sanchez and Evelyn Miller are both missing and need your help, please guide them home safely.
Love always,
Steve

Ahora estás con Dios, angelito hermoso
July 3, 2005 at 8:31 am
Baby Brianna you are now in a place where there is no pain. You are well taken care of now. Its sad that your parents couldn’t love you. You are very loved now.
July 3, 2005 at 8:33 am
OMG… I don’t even know what to say. I’m so… this is… I need to take a deep breath here. Rest in Peace, Brianna, you beautiful, precious Angel. Rest in Peace.
July 5, 2005 at 5:00 am
Sweet Brianna-
I do not understand why parents would harm their children like they do. You deserved much better than them. Rest in Peace, Angel, and know that people cry when they hear or read your story. Sleep tight, and listen as the angels sing to you.
July 5, 2005 at 6:26 am
I am so sorry you had such hateful parents and such a short life. At least these awful people can’t hurt you anymore. The reason this is so sad to me is I know what its like to be abused as a baby but I survived. My daughter Brianna was also born on February 25, 2002, this is so odd and very sad!! Just know that you will always be loved and safe
July 5, 2005 at 9:13 am
Remember the little boy I was telling you about, his name was Matel Sanchez. He has since joined you in heaven. Killed by his step-grandmother. This world is very unkind and I will always remember the horror you went thru. Please take care of Matel.
Sleep tight Brianna, you are always in my thoughts..
July 6, 2005 at 12:50 am
I feel so sorry for you Brianna and that you didn’t get a chance to see your half birthday. We will try to bring these people to justice. Rest in Peace
July 11, 2005 at 12:37 pm
Please everyone – pray that the New Mexico Court of Appeals do not let any of the appeals for the mother, father or uncle be granted.
They have all lodged appeals in July 2005 – dont allow this to happen! speak up everyone.
make sure they are locked up for as long as possible.
July 13, 2005 at 9:24 am
@madeleine Thank you for keepin us informed about the pending appeals. I urge everyone to speak up, your voice does count. These people should never see daylight or be released from prison.
Brianna, sleep tight my angel, you are with friends and have God with you all the time now.
July 20, 2005 at 7:14 am
Brianna, my daughter is nine months old. As a mother, I don’t understand how or why you weren’t treated as the gift you were. Now, when I look at her I will think of you. I can’t take away the past, but I can make you a promise. With every milestone my little girl makes…her first word, step, birthday, day of school, graduations, marriage, and when she holds my first grandchild in her arms….I will think of you and hope your spirit is there to share with us.
July 26, 2005 at 12:39 pm
Sleep tight sweetheart, sleep tight.
August 6, 2005 at 9:19 am
Good night my sweet angel, sleep tight and we will never forget what happened to you.
Sweet Brianna rest in peace.
August 9, 2005 at 5:17 am
Dear baby Brianna, We know you are held in angels arms. Who do we protest to make sure the ones which brought this harm is never released to our public to harm another child?
August 21, 2005 at 6:47 am
My granddaughter, Evey Miller is up there with you. She can be your big sister for eternity. We love and pray for you both.
August 22, 2005 at 4:42 pm
Dear Barbara and all,
To help stop the evil of child abuse we all need to speak out in some way. Your local media – television and newspapers are a good way to be heard. I never realised before I read about Brianna Lopez that people did such despicable things- its horrifying to know but we all need to be aware that it happens. Other ways to stop it is protest outside courts and apply pressure to local politicans for much stricter punishments. And I believe in never forgetting- we should always keep track of Briannas killers- otherwise thay may slip under the radar, thay should not make it out of prison, ever.
September 13, 2005 at 3:49 am
dear angel brianna
i wish that i was there to help you and taken you away,but i know that the dear lord is with you and you will always be in all of our heart’s
September 13, 2005 at 11:56 am
I HATE THEM FOR WHAT THEY DID TO U, I HOPE THEY SUFFER NOW AND AFTER DEATH. POOR BABY, I AM CRYING FOR U AS I WRITE THIS. MAY U REST IN PEACE AND BE AN ANGEL TO OTHER CHILDREN.WHY DID U HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT PAIN. WE ALL LOVE U…
September 14, 2005 at 6:22 am
Baby Brianna,
We are sorry that you had to go through such sadness. I was pregnant when this happened to you, and I feel like you were born through my baby. Even though you are not here as Brianna you are here as Jessalyn. I love her and nurture her like I would you. I love you little girl, hope you are happy and resting in peace.
September 14, 2005 at 8:28 am
Brianna, know that in heaven you are helping so many children of this world. So many parents are treating their children with so much love. My son is so precious and evry moment with him is a pleasure.
Sleep tight sweatheart, I will always love you.
September 17, 2005 at 12:45 am
I can not even move thinking about your story. I am so sorry……….
September 17, 2005 at 7:21 am
Sweet, sweet Brianna,
I am so terribly sorry that you were made to endure such horrible things. All whom read this cry for you. You are a beautiful angel now, with no more pain or sadness. Rest in peace, sweet angel…
September 17, 2005 at 11:37 am
I can’t stop thinking about you. I cry a lot thinking of the pain you went through. I hate them, I hate your mother for not taking you to bed with her that night. I hope she suffers every night with remorse. I wish I could take that pain away that you went through. Why? Today I saw this lady with her 9 month old baby and a guy passed by them, about 28 yrs old. I thought to myself how can a grown man do that to someone so helpless and innocent. I wish I could visit your disgusting parents and sick uncle in jail. I want to know why? What were they thinking ? How can they be so cruel? I hope god is taking care of you and erases does bad memories. they might not have loved you, but everyone writting to you does. Know that I will always have you in my thoughts and will never forget you’re name.
September 19, 2005 at 9:23 am
Hey Brianna, yesterday my son turned a year old. He had a wonderful birthday party and we know you were here with your presense. You look so much like you could be his sister and I know he would love a sister like you. RIP Sweetheart.
September 20, 2005 at 1:25 am
HI BRIANNA, I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW A PICTURE OF THE 3 ANIMALS WHO DID THAT TO U. NOW I KNOW WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. SWEETHEART, THEY’RE PUNISHMENT WILL COME.MY DAUGHTER IS 1 1/2, SHE WOULD OF LOVED A BABY SISTER.
September 23, 2005 at 5:13 am
how could anyone do that to someone? That is really bad..and Brianna I hope you’re having a good life in heaven..you probaly think it’s a heck of alot better than being on earth..Sleep tight..and I will remember you in my prayers each and every night! : )
September 25, 2005 at 12:23 am
Dear Sweet Angel,
I cannot understand how anyone could do such horrible things to such a beautiful gift from God. Rest in the arms of Jesus little one.
September 27, 2005 at 10:50 pm
JUST WANTED TO SAY HI, AND I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY. LOVE YOU…
October 1, 2005 at 8:14 am
Dear baby Angel Brianna: I will pray for you and know you are now safe and at peace. I pray that the mother father and uncle that did this to you will some day get served what they deserve. I will let your story be known and never look the other way when a mother or father is physically or mentally being to hard on their child. You are gods children given to us to raise and he obviously felt your mother did not deserve the sweetness of you. In your name I will pray for you every night Love you and all the other Angels. Love always!!!
October 1, 2005 at 8:40 am
Brianna, you still bring tears to my eyes when I read your story and when I read the comments. You are loved here on earth. It is too bad that you could not have had another set of parents, that would love and nourish you.
I know you are God’s brightest angel but you have great company. Please take care of all the children and let them know a better way,
Love always, …
October 4, 2005 at 12:55 am
HI SWEET BABY… I THINK ABOUT YOU. I SEE MY DAUGHTER AND PRAY FOR YOU. I KNOW THAT YOU KNOW HOW MUCH OTHER PEOPLE CARE FOR YOU. WE LOVE YOU, AND WHEN I GO TO HEAVEN, I HOPE TO MEET YOU.
October 4, 2005 at 9:53 pm
What pain you endured from these animals. God love you sweet baby. My heart is full of tears. I can’t believe there are such people in the world who could do this to a baby.
October 10, 2005 at 9:45 pm
Sleep tight my angel, please guard my 8 1/2 month old son. I don’t know how anyone could do that to you.
October 16, 2005 at 12:55 am
Brianna,
You poor sweet baby I am so sorry. I really don’t know what else to say other then I am just so sorry. We hold you in your hearts all the children that are taken by people who should have protected them we hold in our hearts.Bye sweet baby sleep tight.
October 18, 2005 at 7:29 am
Brianna, I have never been involved in such a tragic ordeal such as yours! I know that you are in heaven and the horrible suffering you had to endure during your short time will never touch you there! May god bless you and keep you in his arms precious Brianna. You will never know how wonderful you are! I love you! PEOPLE FIGHT FOR BRIANNA AND THE REST OF THE CHILDREN WHO CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES!!!
October 20, 2005 at 12:27 am
HI MAMAS… HOW ARE U. MY LITTLE ANGEL LOOKING AT US DOWN FROM HEAVEN. THIS X-MAS I WILL BUY A GIFT THAT I WILL DONATE TO AMERICAN RED CROSS IN YOUR BEHALF. TE QUIERO.
October 20, 2005 at 1:07 am
Ay Brianna, Te quiero mucho también. We will never forget you. My son and I just got back from Mexico, I bought him a Spiderman cap. You’re an angel with wings, soar high and be free.
October 21, 2005 at 8:40 pm
Que dios te bendiga y te guarde siempre.
October 23, 2005 at 11:20 am
Brianna,
I’m so sorry. Every time I look at your picture all I can do is cry because you never deserved to be treated like that. No one does. If I had been your mother, I would have protected you. I would have never let anyone harm you. I’m crying my eyes out because I have a 20 month old girl who you could have been twins with and am due any day with another girl. I pray that you watch over them and protect them from the kind of people that hurt you. The only conselation is knowing that you’re safe and away from those monsters and are now an angel. God will deal their sentence and I hope that they have to feel the pain of what they did to you for eternity.
Your story has made me become a stronger advocate for protecting abused children and want to push for even harsher legislation for child abusers. We love you. Rest in peace baby girl.
October 24, 2005 at 8:39 am
Dear Brianna,
sorry baby girl that u had to go through all u went through now ur in heaven smiling you precious angel im glad your not hurting anymore and in a better place ur family members that did this to you should all rot in jail.
love you, sandra xoxo
October 28, 2005 at 9:23 am
Dear Angel Brianna,
I heard last week your disgusting parents and uncle are trying to get a lesser sentence for what they did to you. I’m so ashamed we even let them appeal, they got too little time as it was. Please ask God up there to deny their appeal. I hope to be able to do something to help in the prevention of this. May you be resting in eternal peace.
love Gonzalez Family ****
October 31, 2005 at 6:06 am
During the oral hearing for these 3 agents of satan- at the New Mexico Court of Appeals- the attorney for the mother said that she had received “Vigalante Justice” and that the three who raped and killed this baby had not received a fair trial as they were tried at the same time. These people have no remorse at all- and these lawyers act in a shameful and evil way as well, if not fot the lawyers- there would be no appeal. This is awful as it means Brianna is not being left in peace as she deserves to be – they keep tormenting her even in death. As the Gonzalez Family say we need to pray that their is no appeal allowed- not that they would get off- as their is too much evidence etc, but this child need to be at rest and they need to accept their punishment on earth- as we know where they will go when they leave our planet.
November 1, 2005 at 1:42 am
HAPPY HALLOWEEN SWEETIE, WISH I WAS YOUR MOTHER , SO U CAN GO WITH US. MY LITTLE GIRL AND SON WOULD HAVE LOVED YOU, BUT IN SPIRIT U ARE HERE.I LOVE YOU. SO YOU THOSE ANIMALS ARE TRYING TO GET AN APPEAL, MAMAS TALK TO YOUR GURDIAN TELL HIM THAT IT CAN’T HAPPEN. I WILL PRAY FOR THEM TO STAY AND ROT IN YHERE. THEY DESERVE TO DIE IN THERE. I HOPE THEY READ THIS SITE ONE DAY, AND SEE HOW MUCH YPU ARE LOVED AND THEY ARE HATED. I HONESTLY WISH I COULD MEET THEM. I HOPE THAT THE MEMORIES OF YOUR SWEET LITTLE FACE HAUNTS THEM AND DOES NOT LET THEM SLEEP. IF THEY DO APPROVE THEIR APPEAL, THERE IS NO JUSTICE, I WILL LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS.TE QUIERO. XOXO
November 3, 2005 at 1:44 am
I DID SOME RESEARCH– SEND A LETTER TO THE COURT RE THE APPEAL THAT THOSE ANIMALS ARE ASKING FOR. SUPREME COURT OF NEW MEXICO : P.P BOX 848 SANTA FE , NEW MEXICO 87504 RE : DEFENDENTS STEVEN LOPEZ , STEPHANIE LOPEZ, AND ANDY WALTERS. THESE ARE THE NAMES OF THOSE CREEPS. PLEASE WRITE A LETTER , I SPOKE TO THE DA WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE CASE, AND SHE SAYS TO PLEASE SUPPORT THE CASE. WE HAVE TO HELP THE LITTLE PRINCESS REST IN PEACE.TE QUIERO, XOXO
November 3, 2005 at 4:35 am
I have spoken with the DA also. She is remarkable! It is very hard to find caring and compassionate people in the judicial system. She has always had her doors open even the very first time I contacted her office. I was surprised at her legal secretary volunteering an interview of Susana by me.
Without the openness of DA Susana Martinez’ office there is almost no way that I could have told Brianna’s story.
Ayblin, I am glad you voicing your concern not only to Brianna but to the people that house these animals.
They should never be allowed out of prison. Ever.
November 4, 2005 at 1:46 am
HI MAMAS.. THERE IS NOT ONE DAY THAT GOES BY THAT YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE COMES TO MIND. I’M SO GLAD THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT LOVE YOU AND CARE A GREAT DEAL ABOUT YOU. THERE ARE STILL GOOD PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD, AND I KNOW THAT FROM HEAVEN YOU SEE THAT. HELP ALL THESE POOR INNOCENT CHILDREN NOT GO THROUGH WHAT YOU HAD TO. I PROMISE YOU THAT WHEN THOSE ANIMALS GET OUT, THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO LIVE A NORMAL LIFE. THEY WILL BE WISHING THEY COULD GO BACK. ESPECIALLY YOUR MOTHER. STEVE–I’M CURIOUS TO KNOW WHAT THE DA SAID TO YOU. PLEASE DO WRITE A LETTER TO THE COURT. I WISH I COULD WRITE A LETTER TO THOSE ANIMALS, TO LET THEM KNOW THAT OTHER PEOPLE CARE FOR THEIR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND THAT THEY ARE ALL HATED WITH A GREAT PASSION OUT HERE.
November 4, 2005 at 3:44 am
@Ayblyn
I have spoke to the D.A. several times. I first became aware of the Brianna Lopez case when I heard Susana on MSNBC at the time that the Brianna bill was passed. I contacted her office and spoke to her legal secretary Roberta Trujillo. She was very helpful in sending me Susana’s resumé and the photo that appears on this blog of Brianna.
The weekend of hurricane Katrina I phoned Susana at home, I really did not want to call the DA at home. Susana again was helpful, this time my reason for calling her was to find out if she had any contacts for the news channels because she made the rounds with the cable stations.
She told me that they find her! I had to laugh. I am glad that the news stations did find her because this is such a terrible case of abuse and I would not have known about it.
I also talked with Heath from the Las Cruces Sun Times news and he too was very helpful in aiding me with the information he wrote on the cases of abuse in Dona Ana County.
I am not sure if you have read this that I wrote last summer when Susana Martinez was our person of the month.
http://nvfc.us/content/view/332/1/
It has links to the newspaper that have just been updated today. The links from the newspaper were broken and that happens from time to time with a large web site.
Brianna, I bought a new digital camera, my old Canon was failing me so I got a Sony. This camera is so fast and takes great pictures. You need a fast camera to capture all the shots with a young child that moves almost as fast as the camera. I wish you were my daughter, I would have had gazillions of pictures of you!
Sleep tight my angel
November 5, 2005 at 9:55 pm
[…] This blog was first started because I was doing research on the Brianna Lopez case and I wanted a way to tell of the terrible things that happened to Brianna so I wrote the story “My Name is Brianna Lopez.” At that time there was seven other stories that were meant to be told. I did not want them to take on the same feeling that my Brianna piece had so I chose to have some other people write these other stories. […]
November 7, 2005 at 4:29 pm
Dear Steve
Thanks for all your work and thoughts that have gone into Briannas sad story, and thanks to Ayblin for finding out details of where to write to, to help stop their court appeal. Lets not let this matter go forward quietly- it needs to be told to as many people as possible.
Thanks Steve- thanks everyone – my letter will be sent!!
November 23, 2005 at 1:14 am
HI MAMAS… I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY, BUT DON’T U EVEN THINK FOR A SEC THAT I HAVE’NT BEEN PRAYING FOR YOU EVERY NIGHT.. I WILL SET A PRAYER TOMMOROW.. HAPPY THANKS GIVING. I LOVE
YOU CUTIE
November 26, 2005 at 6:30 pm
Good morning angel,
I just wanted to say thank you for watching over my baby girls. The birth of my baby was quite stressful because the doctors thought that she was going to have a lot of problems. However, I just kept faith that you and our Virgin Mother were keeping her in your prayers. Well guess what? She’s trouble free! Me and some of the nurses talked about you and every one of them got tears in their eyes…everyone knows you and loves you. I met the daughter of one of the nurses that tried to take care of you when you went into the E.R.
Gotta go for now, but know that I’m going to write a letter along with Abylin and Steve! My husband is a correctional officer and I’m gonna see if I can get a letter to your mom, dad, and uncle! I’m going to tell them that I’m praying for them. Praying that God forgives them because I know that you have no anger in your heart because you and will always be pure, unlike them.
Love you baby girl!

@Abylin where did you find the pictures of the 3 monsters? Brianna-Peace to you cutie pie.

I am so glad that Brianna’s story has effected so many, I do have pictures of all three, I will post them somewhere else.
Brianna, honey you have suffered enough, there is no way that I will allow those people to be posted on your blog. You’ll be happy to know, we did get a little boy back to his father. His name is Erik Buran.
Sleep tight, love always as I hug my son and think of you!

I have a Christmas drive for toys and will be delivering them to Mexico this Friday or Saturday. Pictures will be taken and I hope it turns out well and I have a lot of toys to be delivered. It’s not too late to send off a toy or gift certificate although it is getting close if the mailman will be able to deliver.

Merry Chrismas Brianna, two days ago we had our toy drive of 2005 and I dedicated it to you. I did not reach as many children as I would have liked to but the ones we did reach it really made a difference for them.

I hope you are having a great day and Kyle is still sleeping but when he gets up, this will be his day all day long and throughout the year.
Thank you for teaching me what is important.
Enjoy this day and everyday Sweetheart.

Hatred for the man kind.
The story is very touching. My heart dropped.
I hear these type of stories all the time through tv, newspapers, internet, etc.
The bigger picture is that this story is not the worst stories out there. millions of our children are tortured, raped, beaten, put into slavery, you name it. It seems that child abuse is on the rise I don’t know for sure but I hear it more often.
Man kind has been practicing this sick ritual from earlier on and I don’t believe that it will ever stop.
Punishment is wide open for them. People like them have been living a dark life pretty much all their lives. Imagine what other dark secrets they may have hidden inside their heads. How many other people have they hurt?
VENTILATING.
A extremely slow Meat GRINDER is the solution for them.

praying that your killers appeals are DENIED- thinking of you every day- lets try to make the world better place.NEVER FORGOTTEN
April 28, 2006 at 12:37 pm
I read on the KOBTV news site that these horrific animals’ convictions were overturned. How can something like this happen?! This is my first time on this site and I have to say that whoever set up this site is an ANGEL…Brianna’s Angel. I remember crying when I first saw Brianna’s story unfold on the news. I was disgusted that human beings could be responsible for such haneous acts! I couldn’t understand it and still cannot today! Now, this…an overturn of convictions…what is this world coming to? Please, please…what do we need to do? Is it too late to do anything? Baby Brianna, I never knew you, I just cried for you. I have two precious Angels of my own and I hug and kiss them every day, knowing that there are too many children out there that don’t get that. I wish I could have done that for you…I am so sorry, Angel. You are at peace, now, and please know that there are so many here that do care and love you, even though we never had the chance to show you. Rest in Peace, Heavenly Angel…love always…Hugs & Kisses…
April 28, 2006 at 12:59 pm
@Cheryl,
Thanks for the compliment, Brianna was the first child that was written about here. I found what you were referring to here.
Something needs to be done, I can only hope that they receive the LWOP or worse this time around.
April 28, 2006 at 2:37 pm
I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY GOT OVERTURNED.WHY?WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM? YOU KNOW WHAT NO MATTER WHAT WEATHER IT’S ON THE STREETS OR IN HELL THEY WILL GET WHAT THEY DESERVE. DID YOU HERE ABOUT ANALYCE GUERRA WHO HAS BEEN MISSING SINCE SUN 4/23/06.THIS LITTLE 2 YR OLD WENT MISSING FROM HER HOME, HER MOTHER FOUND THE DOOR UNLOCKED AT 4:00 AM. THEY ARE NOT SURE WEATHER SHE WAS ABDUCTEDOR SHE WALKED OUT.LET’S PRAY SHE IS RETURNED ALIVE…. BRIANNA DON’T WORRY THEY WILL NEVER LIVE OR REST IN PEACE.
April 28, 2006 at 2:54 pm
Ayblin,
I have started a new entry dealing with what has happened in the appeals, we all need to unite on this and make sure that justice prevails.
I have Analyce Guerra listed on the front page at the NVFC.
April 28, 2006 at 10:28 pm
Briana,
I know that Jesus welcomed you warmly into his arms. You are now free from pain and sorrows and suffering. But I know Jesus cried with you when you suffered. He was sad that you didn’t even get a chance at life. God blessed these people with a little girl. There are so many people who want a little girl like you and can’t have kids of their own…I don’t know and understand how people can be so evil to do such horrible things to little children like you. My son was born in 2002. You should be a happy 4 year old little girl, knowing that she is delighted in, Daddy’s little princess…. and you were not given a chance even at life. No matter what happens in re-trail, I pray that in some way justice will be served and these wicked people will be locked away forever! Why you had to suffer like that I do not understand but I pray it will not be in vain!
April 28, 2006 at 10:54 pm
Sorry Brianna, I mis-sppelled your name. What a beautiful name too. Hey you guys out there: Is there something we can do to keep this from going to re-trial or is it a done deal already? Is there a protest somewhere? Thanks!
April 29, 2006 at 2:24 am
I am so angry – it is outrageous what has happened; what justice is this = Brianna poor baby, just cant believ that these judges have allowed this. outraged beyon belief.
I wrote frum Austalia to the court- they must know that people all atound the world know this case.
what a shocking outcome – my god.
April 29, 2006 at 10:36 pm
My sweet, precious baby…. I cried from the first day I heard about you… I cant believe someone would have the heart to treat and hurt you with such anger and still look at you angelic face without seeing the pain they caused you… I know you are in a very happy place where no one will hurt you and where there is no pain. I also know that you would have been a beautiful little four year old getting ready to go into Pre-K, you would have had fun!! I cry and my heart hurts. We all love you baby girl, you are our princess and always will be mamita. My daughter Hillary and I will always love you and miss you… we all love you very much.
Sleep well baby…
April 30, 2006 at 1:04 am
Brianna,
You are the most precious little angel of all. I do not even begin to know the horror you went through.
Know that I love you and will always be here for you.
Sleep tight baby sleep tight <3
May 27, 2006 at 3:05 pm
Sad story. I was wondering why her name isn’t on Findagrave.com.
Is their anyway of finding out where her parents are, and if they have been punished and for how long?
June 5, 2006 at 4:18 pm
Hey im so sorry that you had to even go one day with feeling like that.And yes your uncle should spend time in jail for what he did to you .I’m sure that no child should ever be treated like that at all.Well you are in a better place and have angles watching over you You were a gift to the world and a unforgetable child.
Dearly’
Brianna

Dear Brianna,
I bet you are a busy little angel, aren’t you? My baby girl Alyssa, as you know, has joined you recently, so please teach her the ropes. As is the baby I never knew, but named Arianna Gabrielle. I know that God has a use for you all, so please let her know that we love them and miss them so much. I’m glad that every time I visit Alyssa at the cemetary, that I can visit you too. I hope you like the flowers I sneak into your little fence :). I’m sorry that I can’t buy you a headstone – I wanted to but was told that your family doesn’t want “charity”. As far as I’m concerned, it’s for you because we love you, not for them. But I digress and I’ll be seeing you every Sunday! Love you baby girl! Please continue to keep us safe and remind us to love one another.
~Maria~

HI, MY LITTLE PRINCESS… COME ESTAS…? I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH SO MUCH, WITH MY GRANDMA IN A COMA, AND ME IN A CAR ACCIDENT.. BUT I STILL THINK OF YOU. I LOVE YOU. MY OTHER LITTLE PRINCESS TURNES 2 ON MON, AND I KNOW THAT YOU WERE THERE. MARIA, YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO VISIT OUR LITTLE ANGEL, SET A PRAYER FOR ME THIS SUNDAY, AND TELL HER THAT I WISH I WAS THAT CLOSE TO HER. HER FAMILY IS SO SELFISH, CHARITY, WHY WOULD THEY EVEN THINK THAT. POOR LITTLE BABY… GOD BLESS ALL OUR LITTLE ANGELS THAT ARE IN HEAVEN…
June 28, 2006 at 9:25 pm
Brianna,
I’ve never forgotten you. The saddness of your life here on this earth makes me sick!! I don’t understand what kind of people did this but I know that I know that God Himself will avenge your death! I’m so agrieved that this happened—Rest in peace with Our Lord Jesus, Brianna.
June 29, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Thank you all for remembering Briana. I have her photo hanging in my office reminding me every day of my responsibility to protect those who can not protect themselves.
June 29, 2006 at 11:10 pm
Susana,
Please know that your work has not been in vain! You’ve accomplished great things in the name of safety and justice for children. May God reward you. We continue to support you. Thank you!!
July 1, 2006 at 11:03 pm
Susana,
Thank you for all the work you have done and continue to do for the children in the county you represent. I wish all counties had a person like you in office that care enough to ensure the safety of our children.
July 17, 2006 at 6:04 am
Dear Susana Martinez,
I pray for you and Briana, I pray that justice is made swiflty by you the second time and that Briana may rest peacefully very soon. With many tears we fight our battles, you are a warrior to champion those who are silenced.
Dear little Briana, so much love for you from so many people.
Many prayers and thanks to Steve, thank God for the wonderful people doing good work.
July 19, 2006 at 11:38 am
HI MY LITTLE MAMAS.. I WISH I COULD VISIT YOUR GRAVE TODAY, BUT SINCE I CAN\’T I WILL LIGHT A CANDLE FOR YOU. YO TE QUIERO MUCHO, I HATE THOSE ANIMALS THAT DID THIS TO YOU..

REST IN PEACE MIJA, BECAUSE EVERYONE FEELS YOUR PAIN AND EVEN IF OUR SYSTEM IS TOO STUPID TO PUNISH THEM .. THEY WILL GET THEIRS IN HELL..

September 18, 2006 at 10:28 am
BABY BRIANA,
ANGELS IN HEAVEN HAVE YOU NOW, YOU ARE NOW SAFE!
I WISH YOU DIDN’T SUFFER THE WAY YOU DID. YOUR PARENTS WILL PAY IN HELL ALONG WITH YOUR UNCLE, NO MERCY WILL BE UPON THEM. NOW YOU’RE IN HEAVEN AND YOU CAN SMILE AND LAUGH, YOU WILL NO LONGER SUFFER. YOU ARE FOREVER IN MY HEART!
September 30, 2006 at 2:52 pm
I would like to make a web page in your honor… if I could do that for you. I love someone dearly that was raped as a child also. He was about 5. My heart and prayers are with you.
September 30, 2006 at 2:54 pm
My heart is yours. I would like to make another web page in your honor… please let me know. I love someone that was raped as a child and know what pain he edures daily.
December 15, 2006 at 5:00 pm
Brianna Baby, I look at you and all I see is a gorgeous little button nose beauty. When God is holding you and talking with you, you can tell him I am your Mommy. I love you and I think you are beautiful. I will come to see you in Heaven one day and we can get to know each other. I will teach you all the things you should have been taught while here on earth. I will love you as you should have been on earth. I will show you what a Mommy really is. I am so sorry that your little body was hurt so badly baby. I wish you never would have had to feel the pain that you felt while living your short life. I LOVE YOU BABY GIRL. GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU NOW HONEY
January 11, 2007 at 8:19 am
I think of Brianna every single day. Words fail me in describing how deeply her story has shaken me. Although it hurts my stomach and heart to read, thank you for sharing Brianna’s ordeal with the world…maybe somehow it will save a child someday. And to Ms. Martinez, thank you for fighting monsters.
March 21, 2007 at 11:56 pm
Hi Brianna, you sweet angel. Sleep tight and dont worry there is no more hurt where you are at now. On another note to all those people who do this to their children. Stop!!!! There are plenty of people out there who cant have children and would love to have an angel like Brianna and just cant have them. Give these beautiful babies a chance and also give the people who are willing to give this child a good home and the life you are not willing to give.
April 3, 2007 at 8:34 pm
sweetheart this mommie loves you even though i’ve never met you, sleep tight sweet baby…..
April 3, 2007 at 8:36 pm
sweetheart this mommie loves you and all others mistreated and unwanted babies and children, may you reat in peace now…sleep tight sweetheart…….
April 7, 2007 at 3:40 am
My Poor Baby.
It is such a sin. You should have been born to a family who would have cherished you like the precious baby you were. At least now you are at peace, and those whom hurt you will never be at peace again.
Rest in Peace Sweetheart.

[…] It seems odd writing here after I have taken a break, stopped writing or writing every once in a gray moon. Time is one reason why but another reason is, is that every writer develops a style and mine was mainly with child abuse cases. The last case I remember writing about was Jordan Amber Gonsioroski and it all started with Brianna Lopez. Having a two year old son and writing about such cases became an area where I just did not want to write any more. The cases still happen and just last night I heard of a case where justice was done in a Reynosa jail. The child was abused by his father (Flavio Demetrio Lagunes) and put in handcuffs and said to be one of the worst cases of abuse. The father was beat to death in a Reynosa jail, seems like the incarcerated there did not approve of his ways. Most of the child abuse case I have seen the guilty never endure anything compared to the pain and abuse they dished out. […]
June 1, 2007 at 2:02 pm
I can’t believe there are ppl like that out there in this world. God would be so disappointed. Then again, for 4 years I myself was sexually molested. I knew him and he was my cousin. What isn’t cool is that I have the memories in my head from him at night or when my mother wasn’t around of him finding me. I find myself reading all the stories of these wonderful beautiful children and I can’t help but wish I were in heaven with them. Every relationship I get into I bring my past. And the statue of limitation has run out and now that I finally have a backbone to want him to own up to his crimes, the law won’t let me. I have a daughter of my own. And it scares me to think that all the statistics say that most victims become the abuser. I DON’T WANT TO HURT MY DOLLY. I may have given her life but she gave me mine back. I don’t understand why there are ppl that roam this earth that are that sad and unhappy that they need to hurt others. Rot in hell you assholes!
June 1, 2007 at 2:04 pm
Hi Brianna I hope you are dancing and singing in the streets of heaven! You are a precious angel with all of your borthers and sisters up there. Hope to meet you one day.
July 30, 2007 at 7:59 pm
I am so sorry Brianna. Words cannot express how much your story has effected me. How can this happen to someone so small and beautiful. I think about you often and I often cry for you too. But its over now and you can finally rest. I sure wish I could of held you and gave you hugs and kisses and told you that were not all like that. You would of been safe with me. It breaks my heart that the only thing you ever knew was pure evil and even worse that you died alone. But you will never be alone again. Now you can laugh and play all you want…forever! I love you angel!
July 1, 2008 at 11:33 pm
i have not forgotten u my little angel.just yesterday I was driving and i thought of u. i dont knoe u never knew u but i love u. and i wish i could visit those, i was going to say animals but they dont even deserve that. Animals love and care for their young ones. I know u are in a better place and u watch over little boys and girls> watch over my little princess please. she is 4 and so beautiful.i worry about those senseless creatures out there. i love u with all my heart and even though you never had a mom and dad, u now have thousands of mom”s and dad”s that love you !
