This is incredibly sad, how somebody could do this to a beautiful little girl is beyond comprehension. My condolences to Darceys family who must be going through the most terrible grief. R.I.P. Darcey little angel many people have shed a tear for you, you won't be forgotten. XX

When you have children you expect that you will go first........ to have a vile unspeakable creature do that heinous crime to an innocent baby is beyond belief..... When I heard that on the radio I was wishing and hoping that it was untrue..... The judicial system should NOT put that creature in jail......... he should be let out on the street with big pictures of him everywhere............. Let the public deal with that creature....... I only wish is that you find peace in your heart.... From one mother to another my sincerest condolences to you and your family......

RIP little one. It's very sad what happened to you. You are safe now. Just something I noticed up the top of this page is her birth date. I think her birth date is actually 31/1/2004.

No one can know what you are going through right now, we can only empathise and send our strength to you and your family. Darcy will be with you forever as a gift to your lives to remember and cherish. Remember her and not the vile act that ended her life and never... never blame yourself for not forseeing or preventing this tragedy.... as a mother it is impossible to imagine a father could do such a thing, and therefore sadly, you could not have stopped it. I weep for you and vow to protect my daughter from her father as you were not able to do. from a fellow mother

Where does one begin to express the sympathy for a family, that has left the rest of Melbourne in disgust and disbelief. I cried when I heard the news as it really hit home hard for me, as the thought of losing my 5 years old neice was heart wrenching. May god give your whole family strength as you unite through the dark days and remember the joy Darcy brought to each of your lives. Just know that she'll be with you always and always feel her presence near... :..( Much Love Amanda Micallef Keilor Downs, VIC

Our prayers and sincere condolences goes out to the family of beautiful Darcey Iris Freeman. Especially her poor mother and brothers who will suffer and hurt the most, for the rest of their lives. They have lost their beautiful angel too soon for no reason. May you somehow find the strength and courage to go on. I have a 4yrs old & 2 yrs old myself with another on the way. I look at them and get tears in my eyes. I can't even begin to imagine the pain of what you must be going through. It's unspeakable, unthinkable and unbelievable. I just cannot get my head around how someone can do such a horrific thing to such a poor gorgeous innocent child.. and your own!!! Darcey, dear sweet innocent Darcey, nobody can hurt you now. You are safe in god's arms and you will one day, once again be with your mummy and brothers. Until then sweet girl you will be their beautiful angel watching over them. The world will love and remember you forever and keep you alive in our hearts. Rest in peace mummy's little angel.

its sick to know that someone has thrown a little girl off a bridge! some ppl just dont deserve kids!! Lets hope he gets life in prison!! i feel for the whole family!! RIP little one!!

Dear Darcy. I can't get you out of my head. Rest in peace little one. That you survived at all for any time shows incredible strength - you are a guiding spirit for ever.

Darcy, You were a little sweetie when i saw you on the news i felt like crying, no one deserves to die that way...especially a child R.I.P XXOO

I didn't know little Darcey but I am struggling to under stand how someone could be so cruel and sick to end this georgous girls life so soon. People are saying he should be killed. But why? Why kill some one who killed someone to show that killing them was bad? Let the man suffer. Let him live the next 50 odd years knowing he ruined so many lives. Knowing he killed his beautiful daughter. Little Darcey darling my thoughts are with you. You are now a little angel protecting your loved ones. The world is in mourning for your family. No mother or brother should have to go through that kind of pain. Lots of love honey. Forever in my prayers. Xoxo muah

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family A little girl who will sadly be remembered by all in such a tragic way. May God hold you safely in his arms until Mummy comes for you. Blessings to All

Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. To a little girl who would sadly be remembered in such a tragic way. May God hold you in his arms safely until Mummy comes for you. Blessings to ALL

poor bubby, may he rot in hell for what he has done.xxxx

I feel incredible sadness when I drive over the West Gate Bridge to work everyday, it almost makes me feel sick to think of the fear that Darcey felt before being thrown over. I cannot comprehend how a parent can do that to their child... My thoughts are with the family.

To Darcey, I still am in shock to your terrible tragedy. 4 days later and I'm still cut up... thinking about you night and day. I can only imagine how much worse it is for Peta, the boys and those who knew and loved you. I am but a stranger, who would have smiled at you in the park or on the bus, how can it be that someone who was supposed to protect you did the most evil thing and betrayed you and all of mankind. Darcey, I wish you peace, may we never forget you. To Peta, Benjamin and Jack, God bless you all, may love surround you and protect you all, may peace fill your hearts again soon, and may the memories of Darcey bring smiles to your faces and warmth in your hearts. All our love at this most difficult time. the Newman family

i am so so sorry beautiful girl that this happened to you, this shouldnt of happened to any child. you trusted your daddy & i cant even begin to comprehend what the hell he was thinking, but your in a much better place now baby girl and nobody can hurt you there, you can look down on your mummy and big & little brother and see how much they love you and how the whole world is grieving over you, you have opened alot of peoples eyes to how cruel some people in this world are and hopefully this will make a change to our society. even though you died young girl your life is remembered and you have made a difference. rest in paradise beautiful x

I can't believe something so horrible happened to an innocent lil girl, My thoughts are with the whole family, You are in a good place,......... R.I.P little Angel

From one mother to another, I can only reel from your loss and offer you my thoughts and words of compassion. I hope that, as time passes a little, you can feel a little lightness in the short life of your little girl and that their will come some joy in her memory. What has been a terrible day I hope does not become the total sum of Darcey's life because she would have known your love and been looking forward to seeing you so much that day. This is what I hope you can eventually embrace. Not one of us knows what the next moment will bring and Darcey's death teaches me as a parent to treasure every second, to show my children they are loved and to be kind to others. These are very important things to me. I hope you find peace knowing Darcey has touched so many. Celia, WA

Delightful Adorable angel Resting Cheerful cherub Endless love Young My name is Chelsea and I am only 9 years old, and when I heard what happened I was so sad and so was the rest of my family. Every night when I look out my window and look for my 5 rats that have past away I will now look out for Darcey's new bright, shining star.

I can not believe your father would do that to you, you may not understand me calling him a arsehole but he is for what he has done to you, you had a whole life ahead of you and your first day of school. I wish i was at the bridge at the time i would have tried so hard to save and dive in and catch you please little baby R.I.P xxox David

To the family of Darcey Freeman, I'm sorry for your loss. Such a young life taken too soon. My condolences are with you all at this very sad and hard time. To beautiful little Darcey, I hope you are happy and at peace where you are now.

I dont know you Darcey and i just want to say R.I.P and whyyy would anybody do that to a poor 4 year old like you. i heard it was going to be your first day of school. and you didnt make it i wish you survied.. but sorry darlin it was too high and you are too young to survive 58 meters. i wish my family friends and myself were there to help you. R.I.P Darcey Tayla x0x

Dear lil darcey, What do we say, so many questions will be left unanswered, although taken far to soon in such a horrible way, you are now free to fly high with all the angels.To your mum, brothers and extended family, my heart aches for you, my stomach in knots, having 2 children of my own i cant even begin to imagine what you are feeling.For now little darcey, its goodnight preety face, sleep peacefully, always in our preyers. To our brightest star fly free. Jason Amanda Bonnie and Brock xx

We hope that you are all safe and sound in heaven, how could a realative do that to a special little girl like you? Although i dont know you or your family i wish you all the best for the future, i wish that me and my family and friends were there to support you from your death! :( R.I.P Darcey x0x Jayme & Tayla

Whenever I read about a child being hurt or killed, it takes me weeks, months, years to get over it. I keep looking at my little girl and I cannot believe in any way, how a parent can do that to their own children. WHY? Even if you are going through hard times (we all go through hard time, some more, some less), there is NO excuse to do that. PEOPLE, think twice, these little souls are just being kids - we all were kids before we became adults. I cant stop thinking about, what little Darcey must have gone through. Did she cry or ask her dad, what he is doing with her, did she try to hold on to him, did she say, please dad dont do that to me....I keep waking up during the night and cant sleep, I constantly see her falling.....WHY for God sake, did that have to happen. such an innocent baby girl, had to die such a horrible death. WHY didn't he jump himself to end his unhappy life, why did you throw your girl, who had everything to live for........ You get what you deserve.... RIP little Darcey xoxo

We did not know Darcey but looking at my own 3 year old daughter, I can't imagine how your family must be dealing with the hurt and heart break. My family has shed tears for you, a little angel who was so excited about starting school and had no idea what horrible events were to unfold. You were a brave little girl to the end, but the burden was too great. I just wish that I had been nearby to try to catch you. I am sure this thought has passed many peoples minds. I am angry that the life of another innocent child has been taken away. Why!! Just so unfair. But you are safe now, in God's loving arms

i live in bendigo and never knew darcy, but it is so sad to know that a father can do that to a beautiful little girl, i have so many little cosins and i look after them and it really makes me sad to know that an innocent little life of a 4 year old got lost because of a father. that is just so wrong!. everytime i hear something about darcy or go across the west gate bridge i get shivers and i feel really sad and think to myself why would someone do this why would someone put there family though a thing like that those boys would be scared for life because of there father... i hope there father never sees them again. for this little girl my friends and i are putting a heart at the frount of our name on myspace msn... everything to show we care about darcy and not only darcy but for all kids who lose there life because of someone they thought they could trust. (L) RIP DARCY!!! (L)

we didnt know you sweetheart but everytime we see a rainbow you are who we will think of...godspeed to heaven my sweet.. from a grandmother with love

We loved u darcy Rest in Peace(L)(L)

May you forever rest in peace, may your mother and brothers find the strength to one day see the light at the end of the tunnel. My heart is hurting for your Mum, as a mother one can only imagine the pain that she is suffering right now,to your brothers, the light will come with the strength that you give to your mother, she has something to hold on to. The only thing that I have for your father is sorrow because he didn't ask for the help that he desperately should have seeked to save the life of such a beautiful child who would have been an angel on earth instead of heaven............. Thompson,Kira,Tamati, and Tohu family Melbourne

rip darcy and we the whole off australia are sad this should not of happen to angel we all love you

We didnt know little Darcey Freeman ~ but our entire family has been rocked by this senseless tragedy. My 12 year old daughter has shed many tears & cannot understand how a father can do this to his own child. Our thoughts & prayers go out to Darcey Freemans mother & brothers & extended family. An angel gone to heaven! RIP little one xxxx

I did not know Darcey but looking at my 3 year old daughter, I cannot imagine the hurt and heart ache her family are going through. Her excitement at starting school ended in tragedy. Darcey was brave to the end, and fought hard but her injuries were too great. How we all wish we could have been there to catch her. Tears flow freely for a little angel taken too soon. At least you are safe in Heaven now, with God's tender arms around you. Dorina (mum to Matthew, Jamie, Nikita and Luke)

I lit a candle especially for you Darcey and for your troubled parents today at church with tears in my eyes praying to God, the saints and angels in heaven to watch over you in the heavens above. May your soul rest in God's loving arms and your memory be eternal. Your death has truly touched many peoples hearts young and old. From the heart of a grieving grandmother . God bless XXXXX

A precious angel whose life was ended before it had really begun, you will live in our hearts forever.May you be sitting on top of a rainbow playing in the sun blowing hugs and kisses to your mum and your brothers.R.i.p. Darcy. xoxo

I did not know you Darcey but I'm so positive that you were a special little darling. My heart breaks and my stomach aches deep at it's core, my eyes well up with tears. My very deepest condolences to your mummy Peta, your brothers Benjamin and Jack, and to your grandparents, family, friends and to all that were a part of your short and perfect life. You've touched so many people from all over the world. May you rest in peace little darling angel.

To the mother and two brothers of Angel Darcey, I have said a quiet prayer for you all and my heart is heavy with tears and pain. Darcey is in heaven now where she is at peace. GOD BLESS you.

i just dont know how to start, i feel so terribly sad for what has been dealt to this innocent little child and her mother Peta 2 brothers and extended family i went yesterday with my 2 girls and placed flowers for little darcy we just looked around the scene in disbelief and sadness i send my prayers and deepest sympathy to the family . rest peacefully little sweet darcy. you will be rembered by many always

Darcey, Rest In Peace, you did not deserve to die in such a horrible way, but you are remembered by people all over the world. I pray for you and your family and everyone affected, I dont have much else to say Darcey, but enjoy what you have up there. You will not be forgotton.

Always know darling that you ARE loved, by us all, and sweetheart you will live in our hearts forevermore. Darcey's mummy, brothers & extended family, our thoughts and prayers are with you at this most dreadful time. God Bless. Sleep peacefully little one... Cuddles and kisses going your way :-) Love, Pam and family.

Poor Darceys sufferd a horrific fate. I can only sypithise with her family and loved ones. There is alot of attention from the public, as she has touched the hearts of us all. But do not let this become a negative. Let us think of what this horrific tale has tought us. We should not think about the monster some of us belive her father to be, but let us think of the mental illness that has made this monster. I come from a troubled family and my father too had tryed to kill me. My father as so mentaly ill that he would focus his negative feeling on to us and think of diffrent ways to torture me and my two brothers. Let uus all find help for those around us who are suffering as this is the only way to stopp this viscious cycle We all love you and I no of the pain you and your brothers have sufferd. RIP xx

For Darcy and her Momma. With Love! A song/poem for you Darceys Mom How you would have felt like when you were pregnant with Darcey and when she was born I sing of the life that I bear I sing to the one who’s inside of me Whose face is familiar Though I’ve never seen Whose life lies ahead Like a wonderful dream. I sing of the love that I bear I sing to the Spirit indwelling me Alive deep inside me As surely, I know As my baby is living and grows. Passion and pain Come together the same As the flesh and the blood Come by way of one love Sing then to life And of love come alive So all that is darkness will die. ~Michael Card Our love and HUGS of support to you her mom siblings and family who cherish her From Sylvie and her children Lilike (Lily) Locke and Anjeni-Katalin

You had only just begun to find out what life was all about, you learnd to smile, you learned to crawn then walk then run, you learned what it was to love and to be loved, you just learned all to soon how cruel some people can be. You are free from pain now, you were too good for this world..... RUN FREE PRECIOUS GIRL. You will remain in my heart and many hearts throughout the world for eternity. R.I.P Darcy

Dear Darcey's Mommy This Is For You Sweetie For you. A song/poem I came across. About how you as a mom to Darcey, would have been the way you would have felt when you knew Darcey would join you as a family when you were excited at being pregnant with her and when she was born: I sing of the life that I bear I sing to the one who’s inside of me Whose face is familiar Though I’ve never seen Whose life lies ahead Like a wonderful dream. I sing of the love that I bear I sing to the Spirit indwelling me Alive deep inside me As surely, I know As my baby is living and grows. Passion and pain Come together the same As the flesh and the blood Come by way of one love Sing then to life And of love come alive So all that is darkness will die. ~Michael Card All our HUGS and cuddles to you Darceys Mom and siblings and all her family all whom loves and treasures her always, From Sylvie mom ot Lilike (Lily) Locke and Anjeni-Katalin
