Kelsey's Story

Kelsey Was Born On December 28th 2002, And She Died On October 11th 2005, Due To Child Abuse And Blunt Force Trauma To The Abdomen.
When Kelsey Was Born Her Mommy And Daddy Were No Longer Together. There's Many Stories Of Why But Im Not Getting To It, This Site Is Only For Kelsey.

Raye started dating Mike Porter in the fall of 2004, at the same time that Kathie Briggs, Kelsey's paternal grandmother was awarded grandparent visitation. Bruises began appearing on Kelsey, and Raye assumed it was Kathie or that Kelsey had a medical problem and Kathie assumed it was Raye.

Kelsey broke her clavicle in January, 2005 after a fall from her crib while she was climbing out. She fell on a plastic slide next to the crib. On her next visit with Kathie, after Kathie and Lance Briggs had Kelsey for four hours, they noticed bruises on Kelsey's bottom and took her to the emergency room. The police said it wasn't abuse, and DHS said it was. A judge ruled to have Kelsey removed from Raye's home and Raye took several classes, working toward getting Kelsey back.

In April of 2005, the same month Raye married Mike Porter, Kelsey sprained her ankle at the zoo while with her aunt. Raye took Kelsey to the doctor and the doctor confirmed a sprain. Raye then took Kelsey to Kathie's home with a doctor's note and when she picked Kelsey up a few days later, Kelsey wasn't walking. Kathie said Kelsey took a few steps in Wal-Mart at the beginning of the week and didn't walk anymore. Raye took Kelsey to the doctor and he put her legs in casts. He said her legs were broken. .

Scince Then The Familie's Began Fueding, Yelling, And Fighting With Each Other, The Only One That Was Getting Hurt Was Kelsey, And That Wasnt Fair To Her.


On October 11, 2005, Raye left the home for 30 to 40 minutes to pick up her step-daughter from school. Mike Porter was expecting a friend to pick up some tires and Kelsey was sleeping so Raye went to pick up the child and left Kelsey in bed with Mike Porter watching after her. When Raye Dawn returned home, an ambulance was there and Kelsey was unresponsive. Kelsey died later that day.

Raye has been convicted of enabling child abuse with a recommended sentence of 27 years. And Mike Porter Got Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison For Enabling Child Abuse, No One Was Convicted Of Her Murder.
