I thought she'd be in the ground by now. Sheesh! She must need more money. Look at how Jahi looks!!!

I saw that. I stopped reading the comments because they were too depressing.

Thanks for the heads up. I've been following this story and have wondered about it recently.
I notice from the Fox news article, it's posted from Oakland, Calif. Has Mom (and Jahi) left New Jersey and ret'd to Calif?
As I recall, I think Calif won't provide financial benefits to the child as she's been declared 'dead' in Calif. New Jersey was the only state in the US to provide any benefits for 'dead care' (for lack of a better word). I remember Mom as wanting to return to Calif.

I'm not a religious person, though I am a curious person. I always wonder where these people really are. Are they here? Are they in heaven? Is their spirit nonexistent at this point? These cases are why the media sucks.
Am looking again at Jahi's pix. She lost that chubbette child look. I think she's 17 or so as her pix now resembles that of a young adult woman. She has a towel/cloth across her neck/trach site?
Noted that PP Magsulfate noticed the trach site too. Hmmmm, also.

This poor child (sighs). This story is just so sad all around. I wish they would let her go in peace.

Would she go through full puberty, though? This whole thing is just icky.
If she's dead I can't imagine she would. So then she is just wasting away.
In my opinion, their spirits/souls ARE NOT on this earth because they are dead. As for those who may be in a PVS...well, I'm not sure.

She looks a lot better than I thought she would. Sad.
