This is a long read, so if you skip it, that’s okay. But parents, please at least scroll to the end and read my message to you.

On November 10th of 2025, Levi attempted suicide.. her father and his wife had taken her medicine away from her. They yelled and told her that medicine doesn’t work, talking doesn’t work, therapy doesn’t work, so maybe beating her ass will… and they proceeded to gang up on her, all because she wants to be a boy when she grows up & hated her birth name. After her father gained knowledge of her attempted OD by a friends’ parent that Levi confided in, he slapped her across the face, right before his wife kicked her out and they dragged her by her arms to the car to go to the hospital.

She was hospitalized at Mannings Behavioral Inpatient in New Orleans. I was blocked from receiving any information or updates about her. After many sleepless nights, I found out that the abuse I’d be trying to prove (with coinciding police reports & evidence photos) for 11 years had finally come to light. Levi told on her father and stepmom. Levi wanted to come home with me.. but her voice was stripped from her as it has been since she was a year old. Despite her allegations and cries, she was released from the hospital to her father & his wife on November 17th.

Within an hour, I was granted full emergency custody & Levi finally came home with her mama.

Supervised 2 hour visits for her father were set in place every Sunday until January.

During these months, he attended 4-5 visits at Lawrence Park for 40 minutes each time.

On February 27th, I was granted full domicile custody of Levi, and she was forced to return to weekend visits with her father and his wife.

The weeks and months between November 17 & February 27, i was required by the courts to continue transporting Levi to her school in Lutcher. 1.5 hours to bring her. 1.5 hours back. 1.5 hours to pick her up. 1.5 hours back. This cost me over $10 each week & ultimately costed me my job, in turn… landing us inches away from being homeless in the midst of an intense and ugly custody battle.

On the first visit with her father and his wife, everything went okay.

On the second visit, she called me at 7am to pick her up because her father and his wife were ganging up on her and she was afraid. By the time I arrived in Lutcher, they were already headed to Houma for a parade. They pulled over at CVS in Thibodaux, as did I. I parked in the back side of the building. Within in 3 minutes I received a frantic phone call yelling for me to go get my baby. I ran to the front side of CVS & Levi was on the crib crying, holding her medicine bag. A police arrived moments later. Levi had tried to run away to me, at which point she was drug through the CVS parking lot, hit by her father and his wife, the wife threw the medicine bag at Levi’s face and told her to never go back to their house.

On the third visit, they were still 20 minutes away from her father’s house when I received a phone call from St.James detectives that Levi had been arrested on 2 counts of simple battery… for finding defending herself against those monsters. Her father’s wife began yelling at her and throwing things at her in the car. She tried to hit Levi & Levi blocked her, pushing her hands away, at which point she began frantically yelling that Levi had hit her. So Levi’s father pulls the vehicle over at the gas station, exits the vehicle, goes around to Levi’s side & hits her in the face. So Levi hit him back. He hit her again & said if she did that again, she “would be sorry”. And so she did.

She has not since returned to her father’s house and there is no plan of her doing so.

Fast forward to April 3rd, was JUMPED by 6 boys on Friday evening for taking up for an 8 year old at the park.

She was trying to walk home and these boys FOLLOWED her. Slapping her butt, grabbing her chest, hitting her, kicking her, and throwing rocks at her.

She had a gash in her forehead that had to be glued, and required a CT scan to check for brain bleed bc she has a life threatening bleeding disorder (that her father knew I also had, but refused to ever have her checked for) I was literally writing blood out of her shirt at the hospital. Her little smiley face beaded shoes had blood splatters.

I called on April 10th to provide valuable information I found out to the detective, who is supposed to be getting justice for Levi. He hung up on me after informing me that obviously I don’t have a badge.

Everyone wants to advocate for suicide in children… until it’s actually one of our own.

My daughter was placed in Morgan City with me, deemed by a judge as the safest place. As long as my children are by my side…. Absolutely no one will hurt them in anyway. But when I cannot be around…

Where are those who vow to keep our children safe… to live and protect them like our own? The only correct answer is…..

Failing. They are failing, they have failed my daughter whose life was almost taken away from me less than 6 months ago, and again 5 months ago. I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THERE IS LIGHT FOR LEVI.

We saw it. We were so close to the end of the tunnel, we could feel the warmth on our faces. And that is slowly being taken again by the “authorities”.

Parents… it’s been 12 years… if you are fighting a battle to save your babies… don’t give up. There is hope, I promise there is hope. And once the day finally comes… you keep that fight within you. And you do everything in your damn power to keep that light.

These children are our futures.

These are the children that will someday run our country. Teach them to be a nice human. Talk to them about mental health. Ask questions. Ask a lot of questions.

And always….. every chance they let you…. Hug them as tight as possible.

I’ve learned very quickly that tomorrow isn’t always promised.

Please share Levi’s story… and let her little light brighten the way for you.

Signed by yours truly…..

the “narcissist mom”.
