A 7 yr old was found dead behind the school in Moosonee in Northern Ontario. Her identity is unknown at this time, which is shocking. She has been dead for 2 days. They found the body when someone noticed a bloody trail through the tall grass and went to investigate; they never expected to find a dead child. The area of the school has been roped off by police as they collect evidence. Pray for the family and the young child. Pray for all children who have no one to save them from harm. Pray for those children who are continually neglected and abused. Thank you all for your prayers.

The little girl found was thought dead, from her extensive injuries and the way she had been wrapped up and dragged off into the grass. She was whisked away to the hospital for examination and she was barely alive. She in currently in hospital and the situation is critical. What she endured, her extreme trauma and being left for dead have an enormous impact on her. She had been missing for two days.

Her mother called the police as soon as she realized her daughter was missing. In the immediate hours that followed the local police were doing a "quiet" search for her. Checking with friends and relatives. No doubt they thought she was playing with friends and lost track of time. Only when the hours passed did they realize the gravity of the situation. I don't know why the local community was not notified of the missing girl immediately.

The little girl is currently in hospital barely clinging to life. Her family is with her and they can only pray and hope and wait.

Please continue to pray for them and that the perpetrator of this horrendous crime be caught and put away so as not to hurt any other child.

Thank you for your prayers...

May God grant her complete recovery from her injuries, and may He send loving people into her life to help her overcome the unseen wounds of abuse.
