A mum has shared the heartbreaking last picture she took of her daughter before she was sexually assaulted and murdered by her stepmother. Lauren Furneaux posted the picture of two-year-old Lily, sitting by a Christmas tree, on Facebook. With it, she shared the horrific story of the toddler's death to raise awareness of child abuse five years after the tragedy.
Lauren had handed Lily over to her father, Jeff Wolfenberger, 29, to spend time with him and his partner, Renee King, 28. She had only been parted from her daughter for a few hours when she received a call from Wolfenberger telling her Lily was in hospital after King had 'fallen on her in the shower'.
It later transpired that King had sexually assaulted the child with an object and repeatedly slammed her head on the floor when she threw a tantrum and soiled her underwear.
Lauren describes the moment she learned her daughter was dead and the horrific abuse she had suffered. She wrote: "When we arrived at the ER... her "father" was standing outside smoking as I opened the door. "My knees gave out and I couldn't stand. I asked him if she was ok and he said no. I asked him if she was alive and he said no. "My world came crashing down at that moment."
Too bad!
