UPDATE: Jamie Varley has been found guilty of the murder of 13 month old Preston Davey, along with multiple SA, child cruelty, & indecent image offences.

His partner, John McGowan-Fazakerley, was convicted of causing or allowing the child’s death, plus related cruelty & SA charges.

Preston Davey was only 13 months old🪽

Adopted in April 2023 by Jamie Varley (37) & John McGowan-Fazakerley (32) after time in foster care, this precious boy endured a horrifying four month ordeal.

Prosecutors say he suffered around 40 injuries - including bruising, fractures, & internal trauma - while being repeatedly abused, assaulted, & exploited, with indecent images & videos taken of him.

Preston died in hospital on 27 July 2023.

The jury delivered guilty verdicts this week after hearing overwhelming evidence. Both men will be sentenced today, Thursday 18 June, at Preston Crown Court.

This case is absolutely heartbreaking & exposes devastating failures in protecting vulnerable children. Preston deserved safety, love, & a bright future - not this unimaginable cruelty.

We remember you, sweet boy. Your name will not be forgotten. 💔

No justice can ever replace what she lost 💔

Kinsleigh Welty was only 5 years old - a little girl who should have been starting school, laughing with friends, & living a carefree childhood. Instead, her short life ended in unimaginable suffering.

On 9 Apr 2024, Kinsleigh passed away at Riley Children’s Hospital. She was found severely malnourished & neglected - locked in a closet surrounded by filth, with little to no food or water. At just five, she weighed less than she had at age two. Her tiny body told the story of prolonged starvation & abuse.

Her ‘mother’ Toni McClure & ‘grandmother’ Tammy Halsey now face charges including murder & neglect of a dependent resulting in death. Toni’s boyfriend allegedly knew what was happening but did nothing to help.

Family members say Indiana’s Department of Child Services (DCS) had warning signs but failed to protect her. This wasn’t sudden - it was prolonged tortur€ that a child known to the system should never have endured.

Kinsleigh deserved love, safety, food, warmth, & comfort - not a locked door & silence.

Her story is a heartbreaking reminder that child abuse thrives when systems fail, when people look away, & when the smallest voices go unheard. Let her name inspire change, not just outrage.

Speak up. Ask questions. Protect the children. Never look away. 🕊️💔

Before Blake & London, they were Trenton & Moriah 💔

Two children -who became siblings removed from their biological families & placed into what should have been a safe home - were failed by the very system meant to protect them.

Their birth names were Trenton Dewayne Shuler (known to the world as Blake Julian Trenton Deven) & Moriah Elizabeth Foster (known as London Deven).

I recently spoke with Trenton’s biological mother, who has been fighting for years. Here’s what she wanted the world to know:
“I just want it to be known it wasn’t from a lack of trying or wanting my children. I’m still here, fighting for them. I’m hoping to have contact with Trenton’s brothers, who are now back in foster care since their adopter’s arrest. I’m also so tired of people calling this monster their mother after everything that happened. She stole his identity & stripped him of the life he - & Moriah - deserved. The world may know them as Blake & London, but their names were Trenton & Moriah.”

Trenton & Moriah were adopted by Avantae Deven. What followed was years of unimaginable abuse, starvation & cruelty. Their young lives were stolen, their remains later found in horrific conditions, concealed in a barrel. (Note: Trenton/Blake was last seen around 2017 when he was only 11 years old - his adoptive ‘mother’ had reportedly tried to claim it was 2022 to throw off investigators.)

This case exposed deep failures in North Carolina’s foster care & adoption system. Trenton & Moriah deserved love, safety, & a full life.

Rest in peace, sweet angels. We will not let your story be forgotten. Justice must be served.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against Avantae Deven.

Justice for Trenton Shuler aka Blake Deven
Justice for Trenton aka Blake Deven and HIS Brothers

Today marks 18 years since June 16, 2008 - the day little Caylee Marie Anthony was last seen alive. 💔

No one has ever been held accountable for her death. Only one person was ever charged, as that’s where all the evidence pointed. Not being found guilty does not mean innocent. It simply means the prosecution could not prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt - made incredibly difficult by the advanced state of decomposition when her remains were found.

Caylee was missing for 31 days. The last person with her was her ‘mother’. Caylee is the victim in this story.

In her honour, I’m running a special 31 day tribute on the Caylee Sunshine page (You Are My Sunshine was one of Caylee’s favourite songs). Each day on that page I’ll share an original photo alongside an enhanced version to flood feeds with her sweet face & ensure she is remembered. I’ll also share it to my stories here with a link.

Caylee, you are loved & missed every single day. No justice for Caylee. 💔
