About Kelsey Briggs
Kelsey Briggs was born in Oklahoma on December 28,2002 after her parents Lance Briggs and Raye Dawn Smith were divorced. Raye Dawn Smith started dating a man named Michael Lee Porter.
The first reported incident of child abuse regarding Kelsey was made on Jan.17,2005,and many more were to follow.
Raye Dawn Smith married Michael Lee Porter on April 18,2005.
On May 3,2005 Kelsey was taken out of her home by OKDHS.
In mid June 2005,after months of documented abuse and court hearings a Judge sent Kelsey back to an abusive home.
She remained in state custody and was to be supervised by state agencies.
Her biological father Lance Briggs was in Iraq fighting for our country while his little girl Kelsey was here fighting for her life.On October 11, 2005 she was murdered by her Stepfather Micheal Lee Porter.
The cause of death was blunt force trauma to the abdomen it was ruled a Homicide. Kelsey Briggs died just days before her father was to return from Iraq.
Two weeks later Porter was arrested on first degee murder.Her mother was later charged with two felonies of Child Neglect and Enabling Child Abuse.
A lot of people failed Kelsey.Remember her story the next time you think a child is being abused.Please report it,if you don't, that child may suffer the same fate as Kelsey.Please don't let that happen.
R.I.P Kelsey..

- God wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "come to me". You didn't deserve what you went through,
so he gave you rest. God's garden must be beautiful,
he only takes the best. My own daughter passed away this last april. Through those years i protected her with every breath i took. Those that man has punished still have to answer to a higher power and then only then will justice be served as they stand before god on judgement day. My heart breaks for you dear child and in my heart you will always be with my own beloved child. Lorraine-mom to angel kelli (april 10,1973 - april 6,2008). - - Lor G

- Baby girl, im so sory your stay here was short. I know you will be safe up in heaven. You will feel no more pain forever. I still dont' understand how such sick people could hurt such a beautiful little girl, who has done nothing wrong. I wish i could have been there that day, michael lee porter is a sick bastard, and i hope he gets the death sentence and as for raye dawn smith i hope you get the death sentence. I have no clue why you have fans starting websites "free kelseys mom" she knew what was happening and she did nothing to stop it. Kelsey i hope i get the privlage of meeting you in heaven one day. But until then i think about you 24/7. You iwll always be in my prayers babygirl.

And i dont understand all these people saying " free kelseys mom " when if she was a mother like she was supose to be and protect her daughter beautiful lil kelsey would still be alive. I believe raye dawn and michael lee porter both deserve the death penalty. All i really wanted to say is r. I. P kelsey briggs you were a beautiful lil girl and will always be remembered in all of our hearts and i hope you get justice for what happened to you. Love you baby girl!!

- I just viewed the memorial of little kelsey. I have not cried so much as i did for her. I dont understand how someone could be so coward as michael lee porter. To hurt such an innocent child. Not to mention her family. My heart goes out to them. Such a sweet precious little girl. I know we are suppose to forgive, they say it is all the healing, but it so had to forgive something this horrible. The pain she must have endured. And knowing that her mother allowed it. So sad. Hugs and kisses baby girl, you are in a place now where you will feel no pain only love.

- My heart breaks for the abuse this sweet little angel suffered. I cried the whole time like a baby while i was watching her story. I can't imagine what goes through someone's head to want to do something this terrible to someone else. Michael lee porter is just a coward to do this to a sweet and inocent child. Both him and raye dawn smith will burn in hell for this. May god have mercy on their souls. To kelsey's family: i am so terribly sorry for what happened. God never said life would be easy, he only said you would never go alone. To kelsey: rest in peace sweet baby girl. I will never forget you. I never met you personally but you are in my heart. Night, night sweet angel.

I went home after worked and hugged my son as tight as i could. I can't believe that there are such cruel people in this world. Even more, i can't believe that this little girl's mother allowed such horrible things to happen to her child.

- It amazes me that a mother would let this happen to her child. I dont have kids therefore i couldnt say that i kno what it feels like i can only imagine the pain and suffering that her family is going through. I cant understand why this woman would marry that man knowing that he was harmful to her daughter. Kelsey was the cutest little girl i have ever seen. She always had a smile on her face. I saw the little video on myspace and i could bare to watch the whole thing b/c i was scared to see the outcome. It hurt me so much to se that and i didnt even know kelsey. Im sure taht now she is in a better place and that where she is right now she is happy and smiling and never again feeling the pain and suffering she felt in the care of her own mother. She has left an impact in my heart and i will always remember her smile and her situation the next time i stay shut. Babie you are so pretty your beautiful but you were needed more up in heaven than here. I just wish that things wouldnt have gone the way they did. Much love to you <3.

- Unlike the person below, i believe in jesus, and i know that he called you home that day, ending your pain here on earth. It was not jesus who let this happen, it was the evil in that horrible man and woman that did this to you, hurting you and everyone who cared for you. You were a beautiful baby girl and during your time here, you brought so much joy and many smiles to the ones around you. I learned about your story today, and it breaks my heart to know the suffering that you went through and all the pain that everyone who loved you is going through right now. There will never be the right words to help your daddy through this, just know that he is in the prayers of many. Please take care of our children out there, this should have never happened to this beautiful baby. Kelsey, after all that pain, i know you now sleep softly in jesus's arms, and are now your daddy's angel. .

And i can't believe that the grandmother was stupid enough to let the child visit her mother on a regular basis. The abuse marks was noticable!!!! and she still let the child be with her mother. Dumbass. Now that bastard jesus made the father's life hell, and he was a great father.
