PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — September marks five years since the tragic death of two-year-old Jordan Belliveau.

The toddler’s disappearance led to days of searching and eventually to the tragic discovery of his remains in a wooded area in Largo.

His mother Charisse Stinson is serving a 50-year sentence for killing the two-year-old and making up a fake kidnapping story.

A local woman heard about this story five years ago and her biggest questions were how and why something like this could happen.

“It just touched my heart and God just came to me and lead me and said that I needed to help the mothers and save the children,” said Chantala Davis, the founder of ‘A Mother’s Arms.’

Davis said it was even more after talking with Stinson, who was already behind bars for the murder of her child.

“She cried because I wanted to dedicate the program to her son and she thanked me for keeping his memory alive and she said I pray more women take the classes and get the help they need. Something she didn’t receive, and they don’t wind up like her,” she said.

Since then, Davis has been able to turn baby Jordan’s tragedy into triumph. Teaching courses on life skills, self-worth, and parenting to young mothers.

“I’ve had 40 parents that have graduated from the embrace change program. That’s what I call it. And within the households of the 40 parents, that’s over 60 children all together,” she said.

Brittany Lewis is one of those mothers the program has helped.

“I think that it’s a great way to learn about yourself and learn how you can better yourself as a parent,” Lewis said. “Life is overwhelming, so it’s very good topics we have talked about that gave me an outlet on how to look at things a little differently.”

Lewis said ‘A Mother’s Arms’ is a lifeline for women like her.

“I’ve learned from just working full-time that if I’m stressed, I can kind of decompress to myself instead of taking my stress out on my kids because it’s so easy to do,” she said.

Those are the kinds of lessons that Davis said honors Jordan’s short life.

“His tragedy is something I’m using to empower parents,” said Davis. “I know we think about his death as something very, very traumatic, which it was, but also think about him having been something that was placed here and utilized so that it doesn’t happen again and that’s what I’m trying to do.”

It’s a tall order, but it’s a cause she says as a mother, she’s forever dedicated to.
