This is a horrible, sinful crime that repeats and repeats itself in New Mexico. The baby suffered severe brain damage and is on life support at the University of New Mexico Hospital.
Elijah Fernandez is being held in jail for this heinous crime. Fernandez’s grandmother stated that Fernandez and his girl friend, the baby’s Mom, regularly smoked “spice” an illegal drug synthesized to mimic the effects of marijuana.
The Albuquerque Journal reported this morning that the family had been reported to CYFD by medical staff about previous problems, three times! Let us be in prayer for the baby girl.
When will this madness stop in New Mexico? It will take a change of heart’s, a heart for Jesus Christ, not more laws. CYFD is a complete failure, no doubt about it, enough is enough.
No matter who is Governor or in the Legislature, CYFD has failed too many times that have resulted in tragic endings for the infants and children of this state. We, the citizens need to let our voices be heard in the Governor’s office and every State legislature that this incompetency needs to end.
Is common sense on vacation in this state? Abolish CYFD, start over, how can a failing agency be missed? There needs to be an interim plan before another news post like this. The body of Christ, The Church, needs to be in action and I propose replace CYFD. The Church needs to be the new CYFD! Amen!
