Victory for Deimante!

Be encouraged! Good news! God has heard your prayers for the oppressed once again! The many ways in which God is using you—as His hands and feet of intervention—never cease to amaze me! What seemed like a certain loss in Lithuanian courts has been won. Today, the Lithuanian court did not even hear the argument to forcibly remove Deimante from her aunt’s home, the home of Judge Neringa.

        This decision was made on the basis that the judge who was to hear this case today could be biased, since he is the same judge who had previously declared Deimante should be removed from her aunt’s home, by force if necessary.

         This is a beautiful—even if short-lived—victory. It is one more victorious battle, still the war still rages onward.

        The bad news is that the court still is not addressing the charges of Deimante’s mother selling her to high-ranking-Lithuanian-government-official-pedophiles. Instead, Deimante remains on trial in that the seven-year-old has been ordered to undergo further psychological examinations. Part of what makes this outlandish is the fact that Deimante has already undergone numerous court-ordered psychological examinations, and all of them unanimously validate the child’s testimony, and fear of returning to her mother.

        To make matters worse, these psychiatric tests will be performed by “court appointment” rather than mutually agreed upon, independent doctors.

        In the meantime, Deimante’s mother’s side is working hard to defraud her aunt, Judge Neringa, by having her stripped of her status as a judge. If this happens, of course, it is much more likely (with Deimante’s father already murdered) for the child to be returned to her mother or placed in a “state” system where she could easily “disappear” as the only witness against those who raped her.

        Bottom line, we’ve been given a larger window of opportunity. So I am asking you to help us to garner larger-scale media attention for Deimante. If you have any contacts in that area, please make a direct inquiry and continue to blog and post about her. Let us not forget Deimante. In the meantime, I will keep you abreast of further developments and ask your continued prayers.

        Today, we rejoice in great victory of protection for one more battle for the oppressed children of our world!

Love, your sister along the journey,
