Jani Schofield aged 7
“She was born on August 8th, 2002 at 1:06am. That is still one of the happiest moments of my life. I can still remember how it felt to hold my child for the first time and the disbelief that I had anything to do with her creation. She made me forget every worry I had felt in advance of her birth. I forgot about the claim that you would spend a million dollars getting a child to adulthood. I forgot about private schools and college funds. It was a moment of pure simplicity. That was Jani’s first gift to me.”
taken from Jani’s Journey (official website)
Jani Schofield, a 7 year old child who suffers from what doctors call schizophrenia. Jani was born this way and from child birth she could ‘see” animals and communicate with them. As Jani grew older and at the age of 5 she became violent and thats when the Schofield family realised that something was really wrong. Its a constant battle for them. Jani is now in the mental hospital suffering from full blown schizophrenia, but was it really allutionations?
According to most religious people, the unseen really do exist. In every religion there is the present of the unseen, be it angels, demons, Jinn and so on. In Islam, the presence of Jinn is very real as there is evidence from the Holy Qur’an (Say: ‘If both men and jinn banded together to produce the like of this Qur’an, they could never produce anything like it, even if they backed each other up.’ (Surat al-Isra, 88). There are many more verses referring to Jinn.
But what about man seeing Jinn? Jinn have been prohibited from interacting with man but there are those which go against Allah’s law and interact with us. Most times to create mischief on this earth as they are followers of the cast out Shataan.
Getting back to the story of Jani, one cannot throw out the huge possibility that she was affected by Jinn whilst still in the womb and has been given the “gift”. Why a gift? Because with the ability to see the unseen you can help so many people who are affected and attacked by Jinn.
I personally believe that Jani is just one who has been affected. What do you think?
Heres a good read as well, by Dr. Jemille Smith (read more)
Good book to get as well (Sword Against Black Magic)

I saw this story on Oprah … really fascinating! You say you believe that Jani is affected by Jinn? How so?
@ Shameez. When you know about them and have some experience then you can see when someone is affected by them. In this day in age when Black magic, devil worship and evil is so rife, its easy for them to affect with us, sometimes we don’t even know we have them. Also when you study Islam and history you will see that they are very much part of our lives. Babies and small children are most susceptible to them, they can see like in the case of Jani. Not believing in something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
@Diane – apparently they tried that and thats another subject wide open to debate – another day another time.
i am allergic to peanuts so i can only taste a bit of peanut butter even if i love it so much.,;”
What is an “allutionation”?
this little girll looks crazy. Im sorry to say but i work with mentally ill people day in and day out and some of them have this look about them. This little girl has it. Im sorry for her and her family.
peanute butter with strawberry jelly is my favorite sandwhich spread. it taste so yummy,`*
If you were at all rationally minded you would realize what you say is crazier then Jani’s hallucinations…..
peanut butters are very tasty, the only problem is that i have some very bad peanut allergy ‘,~
Why are you overreading into this? She has schizophrenia, she is not a prophet of some sort.
No-one is saying she is a prophet, its just that it seems to be that she has all the signs and symptoms of been affected by the unseen. Because you may not believe in something it doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
It looks more like high functioning autism to me. Her consistent hand rubbing looks like stimming. Her inability to carry on a two sided conversation and lack of eye contact is hallmark. She hears voices and hallucinates, also not unusual for autistic children. The voices could be related to sensory issues and auditory disfunction. I believe this poor girl has been misdiagnosed at an early age and part of her symptoms are made worse by the meds that she has been presribed. I have seen a very similar case. When the particular child that I know was finally correctly diagnosed and he was taken off all the heavy duty meds he quickly improved. He has aspergers so he is not a typical boy, but he is incredibly smart and imaginitive. By the way this child also “heard voices” and hallucinated.
What do we call “standard” or “normal”, as we change the definition of “standard” and “normal” every few decades? How safe and beneficial, or how cruel and insensitive our “norms” can be, effecting everyone of us, whether we choose to live as “normal people” trying to fit the systems, or remain “special”? How special are we all become, growing up in the most artificial reality of our manmade world, greatly separated from nature’s conditions, and communications? Shall we look mad
and scary to those children who have greater perceptions and intuition that the majority of us, because they can see beyond what we see or hear? Maybe it is normal to develop illness as a natural reaction to our mad, stiff, loud and mindless human world? Are we ever able to we re-valuate
our intellect while realizing that our physical sensory perceptions are very limited, but we insist on trusting to what appears on the surface? Why is that animals do not need any compass or maps to find what they are looking for, can smell, see and feel beyond what we feel, and can communicate in great distances without using any phones? Shall we learn something crucially important about our colossal limitations in perceiving, before judging others?
Having no ways to avoid the nature’s law of the diversity of our minds, bodies, and characters, we need to answer a very important questions : “What makes us “different”, “autistic”, have “attention disorders, or develop schizophrenia”? When do teachers and doctors have to train and medicate a student to fit the “norm”, and when they must learn from a student, who may have greater perceptions and intuition than the rest of us, indicating that something is terribly wrong with our manmade society, our “research” and “norms”? How can we get on a higher level of communication, or at least to answer why in this age of technology allowing us almost instant contacts, we still cannot understand each other any better than thousands of years ago?
If you think you’re “normal” feeling comfortable in this artificial deaf and blind human society you must be mad.

I supose we will see how she is doing after a few years when she can relate better to us what she went through, if she is “cured”.
I am completely intrigued by this story. I am a psych major student, wanting to specialize in autism and asperger’s. My question would be, how many other opinions have you got from mental health physicans? I too, agree with Ginny. I question if she was not misdiagnosed. She has a lot of the signs of an autistic child. If she is, and not medicated correctly it could only intensify and worsen her state as she ages. Good luck and I look forward to seeing how Jani continues to grow.
she is a very pretty little girl.
