Kelsey suffered nine months of documented abuse including a broken clavicle, two broken legs, bruises and abrasions.

May 3rd, 2005 Kelsey was placed in DHS custody.

June 15th, 2005 a Judge sent Kelsey back by her mother after stating Kelsey's abuser was unknown.

The months following, Kelsey continued to be injured. State Agencies continued to monitor Kelsey's condition and saw that Kelsey faded before their eyes.

October 11th, 2005 Kelsey was murdered after someone hit or kicked her. Her cause of death was blunt force trauma to the abdomen.
Kelsey also had blunt force trauma between her legs after an object was forced between them.

  • Did the judge who returned Kelsey to Raye & Mike even look at the reports that said the injuries Kelsey suffered happened when she was in the care of Raye & Mike before he gave Kelsey back to them?

  • I don't even know.He has said that he took the advice from the workers(Mind you after Kelsey's death it was revealed that some of them only started working a week before).

    This is another plain example of a Judge believing the lies of the mother.

  • On those trial transcripts, witnesses have witnessed Ray Dawn abusing Kelsey! I think both the mom and stepdad abused Kelsey but as to who abused her is the mystery. The only one with motive however is Raye Dawne because Lance was coming back from Iraq and RD was jealous that he was going to see Kelsey without taking any parental classes. I don't see any motive in Mike though. He had two kids for crying out loud that he didn't hurt. I think if anything, he was covering up for RD!!!!

  • I agree but as for Porter I believe he also abused Kelsey.If what Gayla said is true he once told Raye "You only care about that thing in the back"referring to Kelsey.I think Porter was jealous of Kelsey. Also Kelsey said "Daddy Mike hurt my head" & "Daddy Mike hurt my head"

    I believe both hurt Kelsey either by abusing her or standing there and not doing anything.

  • These ppl deserve no less than what they deserve...ive seen all the videos with this poor little girl..the bruises..broken bones..the paleness and everything ANYONE could see she was 100% being abused..my question is..WHY as her paternal GRANDMOTHER..you didnt stop it?YOU kept returning her to her mother..if ANYONE ever did this to my grandbaby..id run so fast with that child until it was investigated MORE...to me..you did absoltely nothing.ALL adults failed protecting Kelsey..ALL!

  • You can see such a huge difference in this child when you look at the earlier and later pictures taken of her. That in itself should have been enough for someone to have done something. It's blatantly obvious there was something desperately wrong.

  • 2:58, the little girl looked sad, and hurt..

    how can someone do this?

    that sick bastard sexually abused, then

    killed this baby.. he should lose his brains...

  • kelsey get a seizure everytime she's under micheal care...she throw up and stomach ache everytime Raye left kelsey's with micheal alone,Kelsey got bruises everytime she get back home.micheal didnt help kelsey to practise her walk after the sprained ackle but he broke her leg.Kelsey always say she dont want michael and always wants to follow where Raye went.Dont raye see there's something wrong here???what mother she is?2 years of kelsey's life she should know kelsey dont have a seizure.arghh!!

  • Raye dawn is blind and stupid!she souldnt trust micheal with anything.micheal never do anyting to help but he hurt Kelsey everytime he had the chance to be alone with kelsey,he molested kelsey and abused her. i hate both of them especially the mother.i could she dont see whats changes and reaction kelsey give!!!Love you kelsey RIP.

  • I know it's best to report child abuse, but when you hear something like this--how DHS fails to protect the child--it's hard to believe in the system. You just can't always play fair when it comes to the law. Raye Dawn and Michael Porter certainly didn't.

    Sweet Kelsey, I'm sorry so many people failed you. Rest in pace, angel.
