IN A GRAVE MEMORIAL.

In the Army of Angels.......

Mathew 18:10 Be careful.

Don't think this little children are worth nothing. I tell you that they have Angels in Heaven who are always with my Father in Heaven.

Amy Emily Annamunthodo May 7, 2002 - May 15, 2002

I have never come across a story of a child and gone to find a picture only to see that the only pictures that were

available were of that child in their coffin. That is the case with Amy Emily Annamunthodo and it hurts my heart.

Amy lived in Trinidad with her mother, Anita Annamunthodo and stepfather Marlon King. Amy's biological father,
Jason Walker, and her mother had separated when she was very young and he was not allowed any form of
visitation with her. In March of 2004, neighbors made reports to the police that Amy was being beaten by he stepfather. As it would turn out, that was only a part of what was going on in the house they lived in.

On April 27, 2004 a Police Officer would take Amy to the San Fernando General Hospital with a fracture to her
forearm and many bruises in various stages of healing. Shortly after she turned three, Amy was once again
taken to the hospital, this time with blunt force trauma to her back and as before, bruises in various stages of
healing. How could people see this and NOT do something immediately? In May of 2005, Amy was taken yet
again to the hospital, this time she was abandoned there, she was only three years old. In September of 2005,
there was an application filed for Amy to become a ward of the state. On September 5, 2005, Amy was taken to the Mother"s Union Children's Home where it is said that when she first got there, she was shy, quite and
appeared to be scared.

While at the home, she began to show some progress after being loved and care for by the people there. In
November of 2005, Amy's Grandmother, Chanardai Basdeo,  and mother applied to get custody of her back from the home. A Judge granted them custody in December of 2005. Amy's life would never been the same. After her Grandmother became sick, Amy was taken to live with her mother and the abuse she suffered would continue until she would finally be released from it, paying with her life.

Neighbors were witness to abuse and torture of Amy. At one point a neighbor witnessed Marlon throwing Amy
down a flight of stairs and all he said to her after was "Get up girl. I say get up". Amy suffered a dislocated
shoulder from that fall and was never brought to the hospital. The neighbor who witnessed this abuse never said
anything to Police because he was afraid of Marlon after witnessing such things as Marlon dragging a naked
woman through the street and throwing grass on another and threatening to catch her on fire.

Amy, who suffered from malnutrition, was often left home alone, according to neighbors who could hear her cry
because the house was dark and she was afraid of the dark. On May 15, 2006, neighbors say they could hear
her screaming, though the screams eventually went away and they heard nothing more from her that night. Amy's
mother was seen with her wrapped in a white towel and then her stepfather was seen leaving the home a few
minutes later. Amy was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

An autopsy would reveal that Amy had been beaten, burned with cigarettes, raped and sodomized after being
locked in a room with a cloth stuffed in her mouth to muffle her cries.

In 2006, Amy's biological  father saw her alive for the last time at a visit to the hospital, she had been badly beaten. Jason Walker admitted that he was aware of the abuse his daughter was suffering though he never did anything. All I can say is WHY NOT?!? What kind of parent KNOWS their child is going through that kind of
suffering and sits back and does nothing to help? Jason didn't go to her service though he did tell her good bye
at the cemetery. Maybe if he had done something, he would not have been telling her good bye at all! It was
reported that he said he regretted not helping his daughter and that he had only seen her twice since he had
separated from Anita. In my opinion, he's no parent and had no business giving her a white rose at her funeral
and kissing her good-bye.

Marlon King was charged with murder and neglect and Anita Annamunthodo was charged with six counts of
neglect though after serving only 11 months in jail, the charges were dropped and she was free to go home. If
the arresting officer had cared enough to show up for court, she would never have gone free. It's just another
case where the life a child means nothing to some.

Anita had this to say after being set free:

"I blame myself. I would change everything if I could. I know people angry with me. But God
took Amy to teach me a lesson. I want her to know that I never neglected her. She knows
that. Because in my dreams in prison, she hugged and kissed and played with me. I miss
my daughter very much"

Anita went to the Marabella Public Cemetery where she put a rose on her daughters unmarked grave. Shortly
after Amy died, someone set the house she had been killed in, on fire. In the fire were pictures of Amy and all that she ever had. All that remained was one dress
