NOW AT REST, 'NIXZMARY IS SURROUNDED BY LOVE AND BEYOND THE TOUCH OF EVIL'
By LORENA MONGELLI, JOHN DOYLE and LEONARD GREENE
January 19, 2006 --
Tears flowed like the driving rain yesterday as Nixzmary Brown was laid to rest after a short and brutal life that ended when she was tortured, and finally beaten to death — allegedly by her parents.
A priest assured mourners that "Nixzmary is now surrounded by love, beyond the touch of evil" that took her young life in a frenzy of violence last week.
"We have a reminder by the death of this child that the violence continues," said the Rev. Robert O'Neil, the church pastor. "She is a witness for us."
(....BREAK...)
"This little girl is a reminder. She is like a witness to all those children who are suffering."
(...BREAK....)
Nixzmary died early Jan. 11 from head trauma after a brutal beating in her Bedford-Stuyvesant home.
According to prosecutors who have charged her mother and stepfather with second-degree murder, Nixzmary was beaten and left for dead by stepdad Cesar Rodriguez, 27, who became enraged over a broken computer printer and a missing cup of yogurt.
Prosecutors said mom Nixzaliz Santiago, 27, did nothing to protect her little girl, ignoring Nixzmary's desperate cries for help, and participated in previous beatings.
A white-gloved honor guard of Marines-in-training snapped to attention and saluted when Nixzmary's cotton-colored coffin was brought up to the church in a hearse.
After a priest blessed the casket — and the soul of the child inside — the future Marines, who had volunteered for the sad task, carried the coffin into the church, as hundreds of mourners outside looked on in the pouring rain.

That poor little girl. I'm glad she's with God now. Her "parents", on the other hand, should suffer greatly for a long time to pay for this horrendous murder.
Turn the alleged parents over to the Marines - and walk away.
"...now surrounded by love, beyond the touch of evil" that took her young life in a frenzy of violence..."
Gee. How many MORE times (more than I like to admit at my advanced age) do I have to hear this same same same same phrase!
Everytime..social workers fail, the cities fail, neighbors fail, bystanders fail, everyone fails because God forbid, we make waves or some social worker has to really put up the fight.
I expect to see this same phrase next month or next week as we all mouth platitudes that the tortured kid is beyond pain now.
I guess it's Lisa Steinberg all over again. I did hear on Steve Malzberg that the mom won't get away *LOL*
How many more stories will we hear (after the death of an innocent child) about underfunded, understaffed and overworked family services who received multiple warnings, but didn't do anything? Yet, countless millions of dollars are thrown at our lawmakers for the "right" to dispose of these children.
Will this woman, like so many others, be portrayed as a "victim" so terrified of her husband she couldn't keep herself to stay with her dying daughter who pleaded "don't leave me mommy" as she lay dying that final dark night? Probably.
When did our nation become so maliciously intent on maintaining the "right" to kill off our future? Money will be thrown at her defense - and her own selfish tears at what has been wrought on her.
Until the Culture of Death is stopped, this will continue. More of OUR children will be tortured and slaughtered by those who were supposed to protect them - inside of and outside of the womb.
Please FReepmail me if you would like to be added to, or removed from this ping list...
Unfortunately, the Marines have too much honor to be able to administer the appropriate justice. It's just not their place to attack the civilians they are sworn to defend, no matter how reprehensible those civilians are. It would dishonor the Corps.
However, I'm sure you could find someone to do a half-decent job of it. Whoever you find, make sure they watch the movie Se7en several times, followed by Hellraiser and Hellraiser 2 at least a couple of times each. Just for inspiration, you know.
Please see my post #6. I was struggling to contain my anger, and tried to put into words what you so succinctly stated. I appreciate I am not the only one who knows this is becoming more common.
If child services would take kids away from bad families half as well as they do harassing good families, this wouldn't be a problem.
You are definitively right. I entirely agree with you.
This was important to be reminded.
These photos include the funeral service for Nixzmary, attended by thousands of weeping and mourning strangers, as well as the beautiful, yet unrecognizable girl, lying in repose.
Thank you... The only hope I can see in these stories is that thousands of strangers, bearing angels and teddy bears and their tears, attended this child's service to say goodbye. At least there is still a segment of our nation who sees this as a tragedy that should never have been.
The "father" has already caught at least one beating in jail. ...safe to say it's the beginning of a trend.
I'm so glad they volunteered to show those folks what real men look like, as opposed to that demon from h#$l coward.
The Hell's Angels, or the Pagans, would probably offer up a few candidates for the application of justice, and would probably do a decent job of it (and enthusiastically, too!)

TC had taken another little one under his wing. Logan, aka FReeper Texas Termite had and has plenty of love, but he still needed a special "Uncle" to call him "Punk'n" and to share a very special relationship with.
As you can see from all the stripes in the photo below. These were not "Marines in Training" nor "future Marines" but hardened veteran Marines, including at least one First Sergeant (E-8).
I can't imagine how heavy that little girl's coffin must have seemed, while actually being so frightfully light.
