When I read this I thought it was so sad, and when I seen the pictures I about cried. I just don't understand how someone could do such harm to something so fragile, so helpless, and so beautiful. I hope this person that did this horrible thing will suffer for the rest of his life! I feel so bad for this Mother that she had to lose her baby girl. I would die if something happened to my boys like that. I would kill the guy who did it even if that meant I had to go to Jail for life.. My life would be over anyways because my kids are my life.. So I just had to pass this along.. And I hope you all do as well.

December 4th, 2007, Jessica Sherwood had to do something no mother should ever have to do.
At 2:29 pm Jessica made a very tough, but the right decision to take her little 3 month old daughter off life support.
In memory of little London Marie, i thought id start a little forward..
Jessica had a message that i want every one to know..


This is what jessica said:

IF ANYONE HAS KIDS MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THEM WITH YOU THE WHOLE TIME, DONT GIVE THEM TO ANYONE THAT YOU DO NOT TRUST..... TRUST ME I THOUGHT I TRUSTED JOSH..... BUT NOW AS OF 12-4-07 AT 2:29AM SHE IS GONE... MY ONE AND ONLY BABY... AND HE IS GONNA PAY FOR EVER, EVEN IF HE GETS OUT OF JAIL SCOTT FREE HE WILL BE DEAD NO MATTER WHAT... TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND THAT KNOW  LONDON I AM VERY ANGRY AND UPSET I LOST THE LOVE OF MY LIFE MY BABY GIRL... SHE DIED ON HER 3 MONTH BIRTHDAY...

SHE HAD 6 FRACTURED RIBS... BOTH OF HER LEGS WERE FRACTURED... AND HER BRAIN WAS SO DAMANAGED THAT IF SHE WERE TO LIVE SHE WOULD BE A VEGETABLE... SO I DID WHAT WAS RIGHT AND BEST FOR HER AND TOOK HER OFF LIFE SUPPORT...

THATS WHAT U CALL SHAKEN BABY SYNDROM REMEMBER THAT...


For those of you who dont know what Shaken Baby Syndrome is..read this

Shaking, jerking and jolting can cause blood vessels in the head to tear or burst.

Shaken Baby Syndrome is the shaking of an infant or child by the arms, legs, or shoulders with or without impact of the head. This trauma can result in bleeding and brain injury with no outward signs of abuse.


Often frustrated caregivers feel that shaking a baby or small child is a harmless way to make the child stop crying. However, a baby's brain and blood vessels are vulnerable to whiplash motions, such as shaking, jerking, jolting, and impact. The neck muscles of an infant or small child are weak, so the child's head is relatively heavy and the neck cannot support the stress of shaking or impact.

Shaking a very young child, with or without impact of the head, can cause irreversible brain damage, blindness, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, spinal cord injury, seizures, learning disabilities, and even death. It is tragic that healthy, intelligent babies are suffering these disabilities simply because their caregivers don't know about the dangers associated with Shaken Baby Syndrome.

An estimated 1,200 to 1,400 cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) occur each year in the United States. Only 1 out of 4 babies dies of Shaken Baby Syndrome. HOWEVER, the other three babies will need ongoing medical attention for the rest of their short lifespans.

London in the hospital...

London after she passed...

You dont have to foward this, your not going to have bad luck in your love life, your not going to die tomorrow, and your not going to get good news at 11:11pm. But If you have any heart at all, you would foward this.

Rest in Peace London Marie Sherwood

I just heard about this story from my Aunt, i am sadden by the fact someone could hurt a baby like that.  i know being a single parent is hard ive been doing it for a year but i allways had someone i could call when i needed them, this was something that could have been prevented with the right back up plan. and where was mom? i dont know how she could leave a baby for 3 weeks. ive let my 19 month old stay at my aunts for a weekend just to get a break and it drove me nuts but it was something that i needed to do to get things done around the house and arrons. so ive been wondering where Jessica was those 3 weeks?
