Stories of Lost Children

Devin, My Sweet Angel
by Cheryl, Nixa, MO, U.S.A.

Devin who was born on June 16, 1994 was killed October 26, 1997, by his step dad. I was at work that night and received a call that they (step dad & his brother) had to call 911 something was wrong with Devin. Of course I ran straight to my car and drove home, I made it there just as they were taking Devin into the ambulance. They told me that I could not ride with him and to follow them to the emergency room.

When we arrived not 10 minutes later the doctor pulled me and my husband (now ex) around the corner and said "the boy is dead". Immediately I fell to the floor, and looked up and the doctor had my husband up against the wall saying something to him. I was in so much shock all I could see were lips moving and I could not hear anything. I soon learned that my husband beat my son that night while I was at work and he died of acute peritonitis, sharp whole in his intestine. Devin laid there for 5 hours in pain without any help from his step dad. Needless to say Raymond Scott (ex-husband) is serving a sentence of 27 years.

To this day I am still in shock of my loss. My Devin is my sweet angel and was my life. Loosing him has been a very tough battle for me to win, I keep falling down every time I feel like I have finally meet a high in my life. I have tried everything to overcome this pain. I feel as if this was my fault for trusting this mad with my child's life. I feel that I will never forgive myself and I will live this way for the rest of my life. I have anxiety and depression that I just cannot beat. The only time I am awake is when I am at work.

Please someone will you help me. email me @ cmbblu@yahoo.com
