Darcey Iris Freeman Tribute Onlinetributes.com.au

My heart breaks and I shed tears every time I hear (or reflect on a past incident) of a defenceless, innocent child who has been the subject of violence, abuse or an untimely death but this tragedy was absolutely shattering and I have never cried so much for someone I did not know. (God bless them all).

For Darcey,
You must have been so terrified and I pray you felt no pain Darling. You are a good little girl and you did nothing wrong, just a dear little bunny on her way to her first day at school. Your life on earth was way too short and you may not really know what has happened or why you were taken away from your Mummy and brothers but just know that you will never have pain, sadness or tears - you will always be happy sweetheart. You will now live forever and you can do and be whatever you want in your eternal life. So precious angel - play with your new little friends, be a butterfly or a princess or a fairy, jump and bounce on the clouds, slide down the rainbows, catch those falling stars, fly among the white doves, play in the rain, dance with the wind, sing louder than the other angels and keep safe in God’s arms for you are yet another treasured gem in Heaven’s riches. Remembered and loved in everyone’s heart. God bless you and rest in peace little one.

For Peta,
With my deepest condolences my heart goes out to you. I can only imagine, as a mother, what you must be going through and the pain you must feel and I know no words will bring back your precious little girl and that your life will never be the same again but I do hope that you can find some comfort in knowing that so many prayers and thoughts are with you, Benjamin, Jack and your family and friends and that you can stay strong for those dear, gorgeous little boys (Darcey’s brothers) they need you so much. She will always be with you.


Mr. Freeman (Darcey's Father)….
I find it immensely hard to comprehend how anyone could even contemplate carrying out such an evil and vicious act against a child…. of any age. You have taken a precious young life. Your selfishness has not only deprived a wonderful mother of a life with her dear little daughter, two lovely little boys of a life growing up with a sister, but a sweet, innocent little girl of a beautiful life and future. Even at such a young age, she would have had her little hopes and dreams of where she wanted to go, what she wanted to be, what she wanted Santa to bring her next Christmas; but you destroyed all that for Darcey, her mother, her brothers (and yourself – you lost all your children that day).
You were directly responsible for those three beautiful little children on that morning.
As a parent, your number one priority in life should have been to love and protect your children and do everything within your power to keep them safe, no matter what.
A devoted parent gives up their life for their child – they don’t take their child’s life.
You have committed the ultimate act of betrayal on Darcey, Benjamin, Jack and all those who trusted you to do your job right as a father – you failed.

Lets all hope that the courts can bestow justice to the victims, families and the community against these morbid, vicious cowards that inflict abuse, violence and neglect on defenceless children and stop shielding these pathetic individuals behind the ‘judgement distorted by drugs and alcohol, mental illness, requires psychiatric evaluation’ throw away lines. Make them accountable and have them take responsibility for their actions.
Let’s hope that little Darcey Freeman’s tragic death is not yet just another statistic in the callous hands of someone who was suppose to care, and that all those precious, innocent little lives that are ended so tragically start to mean something to those responsible for dealing out ‘justice’.
