CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.

          Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don’t know what love is. The father is a male who you thought loved you but didn’t. He treated you wrong and emotionally abused you. You had no parents to show you what it is like to love and be loved. Now you’re out here searching for it on your own. Like my favorite quote states “Every woman is a little girl at heart and she is looking for the love of her father and if she had an awful daddy that didn't treat her right, didn't treat her mama right, she don't know what it is like to have the love of a man.” However, you had no one to guide you in the right direction. You’re screaming for help and no one was willing to grab your hand and help. You used your talented voice to reach out and still no one answered your cry. You had no friends and you had no family. All you had was your kids. The county reached out and helped you by providing, housing assistance, early childhood intervention support for your sons, and a monthly stipend linked to you attending higher education courses. They couldn’t give you a support system to uplift your self-esteem; Surround you with Loving people that will give you the love you need. Society is judging you instead of helping you.

If I was in her shoes, I’m not sure what I would have done in that mental mind set and I’m sure you all wouldn’t know what you would have done either. Some would have harmed themselves and some would have harmed others. She tried to overdose on pills because all the pain she was going through. All this could have been prevented if she had someone to provide her with love and care; someone she could talk to and could provide her with advice to lift her spirits. This could have also been prevented if the kids Father(s) helped take care of the kids and was constantly apart of their life regardless if a relationship between the mother and him wasn’t great. I wish I knew Camilia Terry before all this had happened, I would have offered a helping hand like I do the rest of the people in my life. A loving friend is all she would have needed and I could have reached out and helped. If I could reach out to her now during this tough time, I would say “Camilia, sorry you had to go through these long hard years of hurt and mistreatment. What you’ve done is wrong, but I’m not the one judging, I’ve never been the one to judge people. Instead I either ignore or help out if I can. I ask that you turn to Jesus now and ask for forgiveness and to provide you with the love you need during this time and for the rest of your life. Also ask him to guard you from the negative people out here and to surround you with nothing but the positive. I wish your talent voice and videos would have reached out and got you the help and love you deserved.”

          If I was the Defense Attorney, I would have my client plead not guilty on grounds of insanity. Anyone with a life span of being physically, mentally, sexually, and emotionally abused, foster care, being a single mom, feeling alone and being stressed out, shouldn’t have a severe punishment when they have tried to reach out for help.  Anyone that states “I felt like there was no purpose for me on this earth” should have been helped immediately. Anyone with this kind of history in their life wouldn’t know how to respond without the proper help they needed.

          I’m sorry for the loss of Emilliano, God will take care of him for here on out. I’m hurt that he had to leave within 3 years of his life. I’m sure he was a bright toddler. I send my love and prayers to the family, may god give them strength to pull through this rough time and to keep them on a positive path.

  1. I understand that you shouldn't judge people, but do you have any children? I am a mother and I know how stressful that job can be. There is no excuse for what she did. I mentor young women who have been abused. I too was a foster child and was abused in more ways than you could fatham. I had my kids young and still there is no excuse! When the world became to much I would do more than call out for help, I would yell out for help. She could have called the grandmother, the police, or a hospital. She had options other than the county she just took the selfish immature way out. If you did all your research on her you would have found that she has always abused her children. I can't and won't pitty a person like that. Do you know how sick and twisted your mind has to be to murder anyone, especially your own child. Then wrap his lifeless little body in MULTIPLE garabage bags to throw his scent off, toss him in a dumpster, then coach your 5yr old into telling a lie for you. You reap what you sow. Oh and the bible also speaks big on karma so I know she will answer for what she did.

    1. I do have a son. I never said it was an excuse for what she did. Yeah you was abused as well, but just because you were able to see the light at the of the tunnel to seek help doesn't me she was suppose to see it as well. Everyone handle situations different, we are considered different for a reason. Yeah you reached out for help and got it, she didn't. You're speaking on what you did, everyone don't act how you act or respond how you respond. As far as the research part go, I said after doing my research on her, I came up with my own "Opinion" I did not state any facts or take any sides. I know how sick it is to kill someone, people get killed everyday. It's nice that you mentor young women, but she didn't have anyone to mentor her. I knew all I needed to know to make my opinion, she needed help and that was that. I didn't want to make a debate about it, I wanted to base my opinion.

  2. BS. She not insane. She was sane enough to try and fool police. She had help but was stubborn. She had self hatred for Lil Em. One would think the 5 month Old crying at night or day would set her off. She only complained about the middle child. Her hatred caused her to abuse him and only him. Maybe it was due to emotions toward his father. Nothing a 3 yr old does is worth beating them to death. Period.
