Dedicated to the memory of Robert Manwell
Robert Manwill, age 8, went missing on Friday, July 24, 2009, from his mother's home in Boise Idaho. On Monday, August 3, 2009, Robert's little body was found in the New York Canal.
On August 19, 2009 Robert's mother, Melissa Jenkins, and her boyfriend, Daniel Ehrlick, were arrested and each charged with first-degree murder. At their first court appearance graphic details surrounding Robert's death were read in court.
"Melissa Scott Jenkins, on or between June 2009 and the 24th day of July 2009, in the County of Ada, State of Idaho, did aid and abet another, Daniel Ehrlick,who did unlawfully and with malice aforethought kill and murder Robert G. Manwill," read 4th District Judge Robert Manwill Deborah Bail. " And/or by inflicting upon Robert Manwill extreme or prolonged acts of brutality with the intent to cause suffering, to execute vengence or to satisfy some sadistic inclination, by inflicting repeated acts of blunt force trauma to the abdomen and/or head of Robert Manwill." The indictment says Ehrlick did so by, essentially, beating the child -- causing internal bleeding, bruising and swelling of the brain. In the mother's indictment it says she did not protect her child from such abuse, and goes further to say she hid evidence of his mistreatment from those who could have helped.
I've had people ask me why I do this. How can I continually deal with the sadness of a child gone missing, sometimes found, a lot of times not? Some of them brutally murdered by strangers. And some like Robert, killed by the very hands that were supposed to protect him.
Robert's sweet, innocent little face captured my heart and his tragedy still haunts me. He came from such terrible circumstances within his family, and he fell through the cracks of Child Protective Services. I don't want this little boy to ever be forgotten. We should never forget that there are more children just like Robert. And we need to be vigilant on behalf of these kids so they don't go unnoticed and end up like him.
I have 4 children and a grandson of my own. I cannot imagine one of them missing or harmed. I didn't chose to do this, it was chosen for me by my spirit guides who put the first child into my path several years ago. I've continued on because some day I hope to make a difference. To find a way to bring more of these kids home safely and maybe prevent some of them from going missing.
While we are not always able to work on each and ever missing child's case, I think its important to get as many of their faces out there. Please feel free to share this page and any information contained herein.
I have to give a lot of credit to Help Find My Child. I find a lot of this information on the pages of their site. It's a wonderful site and they do wonderful work there. Check them out at http://www.helpfindmychild.net
