What makes you say that?

Someones face permanently droops after severe facial wounds/trauma, i think it's more likely there was unfortunately nerve damage.

Nerve damage often isn't something medical science is capable of fixing, unfortunately.

It's sad, too, that she'll never play the flute again. If the trach was removed maybe, and maybe she can sing. I can't sing worth a damn but I do so love to sing, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't sing again.

A Barrow County judge sentenced a woman to probation after she pleaded guilty to reckless conduct for failing to secure her two pit bulls who viciously mauled and almost killed a Winder girl two years ago.

By pleading guilty in a plea agreement, 21-year-old Alexandria Torregrossa, avoided trial and, if found guilty, a possible maximum sentence of one year in jail.

Authorities said Torregrossa was arrested on July 31, 2020 because she failed that day to secure two pit bulls in her home, located in the same Winder neighborhood as the residence of Joslyn Stinchcomb, then 15 years old, who was attacked by the dogs as she strolled through neighborhood streets.

According to Charity, conditions of Torregrossa’s probation include 100 hours of community service, and she is prohibited from owning additional dogs that are not of the same breed of the ones she currently has –a Chihuahua and a mixed-breed.

Charity and her family are devout Christians who already had forgiven Torregrossa

“We as a family now feel that closure that we have been needing, Charity said. “Yes, this will follow us, especially our JBird, forever; however, we cannot and will not continue to hold any grudge or harbor any ill feelings. For the most part, we had already moved on and this has been forgiven.

“A while back, prior to JBird’s attack, I personally learned that when we forgive someone it is not for their benefit, but for ours,” she said. “Although it does not keep the other person from any consequences of their actions, it does release us from the bitterness and resentment that we may have. It can also be given even if not asked for or even received by the other person. Forgiveness doesn’t mean we have to be friends, but it does allow us to move forward in life.”

Quoting from the Bible, Charity added, “Ephesians 4: 31 – 32 (ESV) says, ‘Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.’””

Joslyn this year will be entering her junior year at Winder-Barrow High School, where she belongs to the marching band.

She was attacked just prior to beginning 9th grade, but Charity said her niece didn't miss a step in her scholastic progress.

Despite being hospitalized, Joslyn was able to virtually complete her sophomore year, according to Charity.

Not only will she be rejoining the Bulldoggs marching band to play flute with her peers, her vocal chords have healed well enough for her to sing with the school’s chorus, Charity said.

I agree she has healed, and Im so happy she can sing again.

But probation , what a joke. And this "mixed breed" dog she has? Its a pit.

Oh I'm so glad she can still sing and play the flute, I'm sure that helped in her recovery, to be able to get back to what she loved to do. I agree that forgiveness was the right way forward, hate just keeps you rooted there in the turmoil. Forgiveness doesn't mean you ever have to forget it, just you don't have to keep reliving it.
