Faces of Angels

This is a really wonderful project we have started to help prevent and fight against child abuse.

The drawings below are faces of angels who were taken away from this earth far too soon at the hands of either evil or really sick adults (rarely also disturbed young people). Quite often these children have also been failed by the system (child protection services) that got everything wrong, even after several reports and visits. In some cases they even took away children from loving parents with problems like depression and put them in the hands of their murderers (relatives/adoptive or foster parents) in spite of many reports and clear evidence. In other cases, they took them away from loving foster families and gave them back to their biological parents who then killed them. In one case, the pile of reports to CPS was about 5″ high, but they still didn’t do anything, and the child committed suicide at just 10. The abusive father was not convicted of anything. In another case, the CPS reports concluded that the child was "safe and happy". Not long after that, the child was murdered, and security cameras in the room where he was often confined for punishment revealed the 6-year old talking to himself and crying "Nobody loves me". To add insult to injury, many child killers are put in protective custody so that other inmates don’t beat them up. And the youngest murderers are given a new identity when released to protect them. Even adults have been given a new identity, like the man who slaughtered 10 members of his family on Father's Day 1971 in Adelaide, Australia. He was released after just 7 1/2 years, remarried under a new name and lived a happy life.

It is puzzling that if a parent lets their child in the care of somebody who kills the child, they are charged with child neglect and endangerment, but CPS get away with everything, particularly if caring family members don't personally take legal action, even when the evidence of child abuse is irrefutable and they totally fail to intervene. There was a case (Gabriel's case) where they were finally charged, but then after they appeared in court all charges were dropped. Police and doctors also often get away with utter incompetence, and even judges when they grant custody of a child to their murderer without properly investigating.

It is the same with bullies. They get away with everything, and their victims are often called liars. One of the worst recent cases is Charlotte's case (see Children Who Could Not Cope). They even bully heroes who managed to escape paedophiles or serial killers because of the attention they get in the media. What’s wrong with the world?

The same applies to adults, for example women who have been raped or murdered. There was a case of a woman who had been murdered, and her family and her family's lawyer were not allowed to say how good she was in court in order not to influence the judges, but the defendant's lawyer was allowed to say what a difficult childhood her murderer had. And it is even believed Madeleine McCann (who has been missing since 2007 and is most probably dead) could still be with us if the judges had listened to a woman who had been raped in 2004 by the German paedophile who is the prime suspect. He would probably have been in prison in 2007 if they had listened. She was very accurate in his description, including mentioning a scar, but they said "not enough evidence". And what about the repeat offenders released on bail or on parole?We really have to fight harder for justice. "Justice does not happen on its own." "These stories are not easy to hear, but silence is not an option. Silence is complicity." (Inspector Genxr) Sign petitions, write to MPs, protest whenever and wherever you can - don't look away! Sign petitions on Inspector Genxr's website.

Normally we don't include the children's stories, as these drawings are supposed to give life back to them rather than outlining the tragic circumstances of their death. Art is life!

If you are interested in their stories and want to show your support and solidarity, please visit Brooklynn's Angels, In Loving Memory of Angels, Angelizdsplace, Abuse Angels and Tiny Angels. but there are more, and of course you can also google the name of any child you are interested in. There are also many YouTube channels describing their stories, like United against Child Abuse, The Misery Machine, Her Dark Side, Rachel Shannon True Crime, EndChildAbuse, A Wicked World (many of her videos are now only accessible to members though) and Inspector Genxr. Find a Grave also features many of these angels. And of course Nancy Grace, a strong woman who is not afraid of telling the truth (for all sorts of crime).
If you only want to see them alive through art though, stay on this page.
NB 1: You don't need a Facebook account in order to view public pages. Just search for the page in Google and click on the result. Don't type the url directly into your browser's address bar or it will ask you to log in after scrolling for a couple of seconds.
NB 2: Angelizdplace has sadly become inactive, but luckily the Internet Archive still has it, although the images don't work. The person who used to run that site had mentioned health problems and had been inactive for a long time, so maybe she is not able to run the site any longer.

The children are normally under 18, with only a few exceptions like Dawn DeFeo, who was 18 at the time of her death and whom we have included so that she could be with her siblings, and a couple of the victims of Richard Biegenwald (only the date of birth of Anna Marie Olesiewicz is known; the others could have been either 17 or 18 at the time of their death based on other available information).

We have also included some children declared dead by the police but whose body has never been found. This is to honor their memory. In case the police were wrong and they are found one day, we will be very happy to remove them of course.

Brochures with a mosaic of these drawings and links to prevent child abuse are also to be found at some selected charities that are cooperating with us worldwide. The cover of the brochures will look like this (we might have more than one cover as the drawings grow):

The drawings have been made based on photos found in articles and news about their death and will be updated on a regular basis. Sadly, there are far too many tragedies in the world to include them all, and sometimes no clear photos are available either to create drawings, so this page and the brochures are just representative. According to a WHO report from 2016, it is estimated that every year around 41,000 children are murdered worldwide. Many more go missing (almost half a million every year only in the USA). We really have to fight to change this!

***We also have two other single pages, one dedicated to Parker Monhollon and all the innocent children killed by incurable diseases (Parker Loves Life) and one dedicates to Children Who Could Not Cope (go to the top of the page for the links).***

Lest We Forget

As far as we know, this art project is unique in the world. Thank you, Marie! Art is always useful and definitely helps both the creator and the observer, but this project is truly unique, as it gives life back to these children (art is life), and it is also a great project against child abuse. Truly unique!
The names of the angels are listed after the drawings.

The original drawings are all signed both at the front (initials) and at the back (full name).
The first drawings were created exclusively with pencils, but now Marie uses mixed media.

(1) No photo is available of the youngest and eldest Bartholomew children, Sandra Bartholomew (June 5, 1967 – September 6, 1971) and Neville Bartholomew (August 15, 1952 – September 6, 1971)****

(2) There are some discrepancies as to who the Needle children in the original photos are (Mabel, Elsie or May). We ultimately chose the attributions in the book “Martha Needle” by Brian Williams because it is a published book and we hope they checked the sources carefully.

(3) We decided to use a slightly modified drawing to make him look happier and with no signs of abuse, as many are doing this at the moment. The original drawing would be this.

(4) Drawing coincidentally completed on the 1st anniversary of her death. It is not the first time this occurs; just recently for example it also happened with Jeanine Nicarico and Garnett Spears, but we don’t always indicate it. We thought this was worth mentioning because it was the 1st anniversary of the death of this angel.

(5) Also known as Sharon Granites

(6) Sadly there is no real photo of this angel, only a reconstruction they created when they found her remains.

Artist's Statement

This project is dedicated to the children who never had the chance to grow up because they were abused, ignored or failed by the very people and systems meant to protect them.
I draw these children not as statistics or stories on the news, but as human beings. As individuals. As lives that mattered. Through my art, I try to give something back to them—some presence, some light, some dignity that was stolen too soon. I know what it’s like to be unseen. I know the silence of being hurt and misunderstood. And I also know the pain of feeling too deeply in a world that often prefers to look away.
I am autistic, and I carry the weight of my own past, but I have chosen to turn it into something that can speak—for those who no longer can.
This project is not comfortable. It’s not meant to be. It is meant to remind us that child abuse is still happening, every day, often behind closed doors that never get opened. Too many children fall through the cracks. Too many are disbelieved, dismissed or abandoned by systems that are overwhelmed or blind.
Art is how I grieve. It’s how I protest. It’s how I remember. I hope this work makes you stop. I hope it makes you feel something. And most of all, I hope it makes you act—even in some small way. Because every child deserves safety. Every child deserves to be seen. And it should never take a tragedy for the world to care.
