Remembering Sean
Posted by TulipGirl | Under Pearls / TTUAC / NGJ Sunday Feb 26, 2012Six years ago today Sean Paddock died.
A 4-year-old child, Sean Paddock, was killed by his adoptive mother. The child was suffocated from being wrapped tightly in blankets to keep him in bed, so tightly that he couldn’t fill his lungs to breathe. His body was covered with “layers of thin, long bruises — old and new — stretch[ing] from Sean’s bottom to his shoulder blade.”
Sean’s adopted mother relied upon two-foot lengths of plumbing supply line and parenting books by Michael and Debi Pearl to keep her children in line.
God have mercy.
February will always be a month for me to remember. I believe we all need to mourn these little ones and warn other parents.
““Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.”"

So sad.
My heart breaks for you I wish I could comfort you but the angels are doing that now. I pray those books are banned forever and not allowed to be sold anywhere.
Sigh
Thank you for keeping Sean’s memory alive. What a beautiful child.
