She most certainly is! I really am so glad for her that she has a new home, and a new chance at life.

New life for baby who had been beaten, paralyzed

A year ago, Bianca Mata was being routinely battered, beaten and molested by her mother’s boyfriend in their Forest Park home.

On Christmas Day 2006, she suffered injuries so severe her mother was forced to take Bianca to an emergency room for treatment.

Bianca, 19 months, will be spending this Christmas with a new family: Her t foster mother, Michele Davis of Atlanta, adopted Bianca on Nov. 27.

Doctors discovered healing fractures all over Bianca’s body. The new injuries paralyzed the girl from the waist down. The paralysis means that Bianca cannot walk.

She was 8 months old.

In October, the boyfriend, Eligio Chia-Duron, 41, was convicted and sentenced to life plus 40 years in prison. Bianca’s mother, Fabiola Delgado Mata, 21, is serving five years on probation for not protecting the baby and faces deportation to Mexico.

Bianca, 19 months, will be spending this Christmas with a new family that includes an older brother, Kevin. Her foster mother, Michele Davis of Atlanta, adopted Bianca on Nov. 27, Kevin’s fifth birthday.

“This will really be her first Christmas,” Davis said. “My parents are coming up from Florida. My mom will cook and I’ll supply the kids.”

A longtime foster parent and a nurse at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Davis first saw Bianca in the hospital as she was treated for the Christmas Day injuries.

“I just got sucked in when I saw her,” she said. “This tiny angelic baby, surrounded by pink fluffy blankets. I just adore her and I don’t mind the physical disabilities.”

Davis, a single mother, brought her home and introduced her to Kevin, whom she adopted after having him in foster care. Kevin was also hurt by his mother’s boyfriend, she said, suffering brain damage and learning disabilities. The abuser was sentenced to three years in prison, she said.

“Kevin just loves Bianca,” Davis said. “He calls her ‘my baby.’ ”

While toddlers her age are learning to be steady on their feet, Bianca has mastered a wheelchair. Visiting a coffee shop after her adoption, Bianca deftly navigated between tables and chairs, smiling and waving at other diners.

With the adoption hearing behind them, Davis has to get a passport for her new daughter. The two of them will be leaving for India and possible treatment for Bianca’s paralysis.

The surgery involves taking Bianca’s stem cells and transplanting them into her spinal cord. The procedure is being done at Lifeline Hospital in Perungudi, Chennai, India.

“The patients who’ve had this procedure have regained some function, whether it is being able to go to the bathroom on their own or taking a few steps,” she said. “We’re hoping and praying the transplant works.”

Other than needing a chair to get around, Bianca is every bit an average toddler. She goes to a child care facility every day and has friends.

“She is the only one in a chair, but the kids don’t care,” Davis said. “The boys all fight over who gets to wheel her around but she does that very well on her own. When she’s on the floor playing, the other kids play in her chair.”

Bianca is also a favorite inside the Clayton County District Attorney’s Office, the agency that prosecuted Chia-Duron. District Attorney Jewel Scott found something good out of Bianca’s situation, despite her severe injuries.

“The best thing that came out of this is that she has a new family,” Scott said. “She has this wonderful new mother who loves and cares for her.”

Another fine example of why the DEATH PENALTY should be used more often.

And so violently that she is paralyzed and won’t be able to have any children of her own?! He had to have done this kind of thing before. I sincerely hope, from the bottom of my angry heart, that this man gets raped every single fucking day his loser baby raping ass in is prison.

What a fucking piece of shit asshole.

I’m starting to hate men. Seriously!

How about hating the breeders taht produce these children with not enough common sense to protect them from the predators they allow in their lives? The women that allow this to happen should be hated too.

This guy is a sick fuck. I hope he gets everything he gave back times ten in prison.
