READ THE BOOK TODAY:(

gina lori Feb 06, 2012

Cant believe there are such heartless adults out there even parents .
I know its hard to see really whats going on behind closed doors until its too late . Especially with small children or babies who dont understand why this is happening to them and even if its normal . I wish I could have the chance to meet him ,I would invite him over to my place and what a most horrible agonizing time he would have with the men I would hire to torture him for weeks on end . I d make him swallow the largest box of tide detergent i could find ...

Ursula <3

My mother read this book to me & my sister when I was 12 & my sister was 16. My mom read it to us every night a little at a time. I cried every night. This is the SADDEST book i've EVER read! I'm now 21 years old & have an amazing daughter of my own that is now 5 years old as of 2011. She is the GREATEST thing that ever happen to me. I just don't understand how a mother could let something like that happen to her 5 year old daughter. & as for him, how could he could do that to a 5 year old little girl. =/ She was so BEAUTIFUL! R.i.P BABYGiRL, <3

Precise angel.

I read this book when I was in the 7th grade, I am now 30 years old with two children. To this day I still think about this little girl and the abuse she went thru. I do punish my children and whip their butts when needed, but when it comes to someone else punishing my child I freak out and insist it was uncalled for. I think I am like this because of this book. I was sexual abused by my stepfather for several years in elementary school. This story still haunts me to this day and sometime I judge people and watch people around my neighborhood all the time. I have called on someone before just because I wanted to make sure the child was ok. I made sure to tell the people that I called that I wasnt 100% sure something bad was going on, but I did have a bad feeling and wanted to make sure everything was ok. I also stated that I didnt want to feel quilty if something did happen and I didnt call. If you suspect something is wrong, let someone know. Ursula Sunshune Assaid will always be remember and loved by me. I feel like I know her and she is a part of me. A part to make me more aware of people around me. My children when they are of age, I will have them read the book and make aware of child abuse and how talking and speaking is the way to go, not to keep it inside and hope that no one finds out. Speak Up you could save a life. RIP my angel.

I knew Ursula

Christina Nov 03, 2011

I was 9 years old and Ursula lived across the street from us. She would spend the night at our home and we took her to see the movie Bambi. To this day I still remember that vividly.
It really makes me angry when I hear that people knew things were going on and never said anything. My parents who were called as witnesses at Donald and Susan's trial told the prosecution my mother had went to our school and spoke to the principal because Ursula seemed sad. She had always been a very happy girl but towards the end she wasn't.

Her mother did my parents she couldn't have anything to drink but that was later and her explanation was " she wet the bed" so when she spent the night they didn't want her to have an accident.

She never was thin or had any bruises on her. My parents did inquire several times as to where she was and they were told she had moved to her fathers in California.

I wish people would understand no one had any idea she was being tortured or starved......the author of the book specifically says no one did anything about her abuse and we were silent.

If you noticed a little girl who seemed sad over a few weeks time would think she was being tortured and abuse??? Especially if there was not a mark on her?? No, you wouldn't......the only ones guilty of her death were Susan and Donald, not the neighbors, teachers or friends.
I am glad Ursula is no longer suffering....she really was a beautiful, sweet little girl.
