🩸 Blood Doesn’t Set the Price of Justice



🩸 Blood Doesn’t Set the Price of Justice

When a Black Child’s Life Sentence Costs Only $250K

By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently | #TheSilentEvictionSeries


An 8-year-old child.

Sexually assaulted.

HIV-positive for life.

And the man responsible is out on a 

$250,000 bond?

Let that sink in.

This isn’t just another news headline. It’s a devastating testimony of how the American legal system determines the value of Black life—and how low that value can be when the victim is a Black boy.

🧠 A Lifetime Sentence—But Only for the Child

On May 30, 2025, 62-year-old Bobby McAffee was arrested in Florida after nearly a year-long investigation. He confessed to sexually assaulting an 8-year-old boy and acknowledged he is HIV positive—a virus he has now passed to the child.

The trauma this child will carry—physically, emotionally, spiritually—is incalculable. This isn’t just a crime. It’s a theft of innocence, a health death sentence, and a lifetime of psychological pain.

And yet… the bond for the accused?

$250,000.

⚖️ Justice Is Not Blind—It’s Biased

To understand how twisted this is, consider this: I know of cases right here in Texas where a Black man accused of raping a white woman—without HIV, without a child involved—was given a $750,000+ bond.

Three times higher.

And yet this Florida case involves:

  1. A child under 12.
  2. Confirmed HIV transmission.
  3. A confession.
  4. A child whose body, health, and future are forever changed.

So why is the bond lower?

Because the system doesn’t just weigh “facts.”

It weighs race. It weighs perception. It weighs whose life is considered worth protecting.

📉 The Devaluation of Black Boys

This isn’t just about one case.

This is about a long-standing pattern:

  1. When Black boys are victims, they’re rarely granted the same visibility, compassion, or outrage.
  2. When the accused and the victim share racial identity, the crime is often minimized in public and legal perception.
  3. When white femininity is involved—real or alleged—the system overreacts. But when it’s a Black child? It’s business as usual.

This case isn’t a fluke.

It’s a symptom of how deeply we’ve normalized the dehumanization of Black children—especially boys.

🔥 My Question to the System

If a child’s life has been stolen, broken, and endangered—what is the appropriate cost of that crime?

Because it damn sure isn’t $250K.

We are not asking for vengeance.

We are demanding valuation.

We are demanding a reckoning with a justice system that still tells us, in 2025, that Black lives do not appraise at full value.

🗣️ We Must Tell These Stories

This blog isn’t just a post.

It’s a protest in prose.

It’s a demand for accountability and a call for radical advocacy—for children who won’t get headlines or GoFundMes, but who are living proof that America’s system of justice still runs on blood money.

To the child:

You are not forgotten.

You are not invisible.

And your worth cannot be measured in bonds and bars.

To the rest of us:

We must fight for a justice system that doesn’t price pain based on pigment.

Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob

  Shell Games: When the Government Plays Like the Mob How Public Systems Mirror Shell Companies to Profit Off Pain By Pamela Jackson | She Heals Silently™ | #TheSilentEvictionSeries They called it racketeering when Sean "Diddy" Combs allegedly used a web of shell companies to silence victims, funnel money, and protect his empire. But what do you call it when the government does the same thing ? Because make no mistake— they do . And they’ve been doing it longer, better, and with far more devastating reach. 🏛️ Shell Companies 101 — And the Dirty Mirror A shell company is a business with no active operations. It exists to: - Hide ownership - Move money - Dodge taxes or responsibility - Operate in secrecy Sounds shady, right? Now look at this: Shell Company Tactic Government System Equivalent LLC with no employees Non-profit front group or subcontractor that receives federal funding Layers of ownership Third-party contractors running public housing, CPS, charter schools Money ...

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference?

Zimmerman vs. Karmelo: What’s the Difference? Two cases. One pattern. A system that never stopped. By The Phoenix Coach™ The short answer? Race. Media bias. And who gets the luxury of being called a victim. In 2012, the world watched George Zimmerman pursue 17-year-old Trayvon Martin through a Florida neighborhood, against the advice of 911. Trayvon, carrying Skittles and iced tea, was doing nothing more than walking home. Minutes later, he was dead. Zimmerman claimed self-defense under Florida’s “ Stand Your Ground ” law. He said Trayvon attacked him. But Trayvon couldn’t speak for himself—because he was murdered. There were no close-range witnesses. No one who could challenge Zimmerman’s narrative. And so, he walked free. Fast forward to today. A similar tragedy is unfolding in Texas—only this time, the Black teen is alive . His name is Karmelo Anthony (not the celebrity athlete, but a young man whose story is being warped by the media and weaponized by conservative outlets for clic...

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear

I’m a Cassie Too: When Abuse Looks Like Fame, Love, and Fear There are some stories you don’t just watch—you feel. When the headlines broke about Cassie’s lawsuit against Diddy , I didn’t need the full details to understand the truth. I didn’t need the video footage to validate what I already knew in my spirit. Because I’ve lived it. Because I’m a Cassie too. ✖️ The Abuse That Doesn’t Leave Bruises Not all abuse shows up in black and blue. Some of it looks like luxury. Like gifts with invisible strings. Like silence in exchange for safety. Like walking on marble floors with a mind full of landmines. Some of us were taught to: mistake control for protection mistake trauma bonds for real love confuse gaslighting for guidance And when we tried to speak up? We were labeled dramatic. Unstable. Disloyal. 🏛️ The System Protects Its Own What happened to Cassie isn’t just a “celebrity problem.” It’s a systemic problem. It’s a spiritual problem. It’s what happens when: power gets licensed money...
