Update On Missing Boy

Oh me, oh my, it's not looking good for this poor kid.

I am darn near speechless with rage.

This poor kid was placed in a home where it appears that he was an abused child. And nobody said anything, nobody noticed? Where the F* were the social workers? Where were his teachers? What the heck happened to the system that was supposed to protect this child?

Reports have come out saying that the parents first said that he was given back to the System. Then the story changed and he'd ran away. Etc, etc, etc. I don't know what's true and what's not, the media being the way that it is, but there is a little boy missing and I rather doubt that his adoptive parents are telling the truth at this point.

God rest his little soul.

And may God judge his adoptive parents. May they receive the punishment they richly deserve in both this life and the hereafter.

I don't usually go this far in condemnation, but (leaving in that shred of doubt) if the stories of the abuse this child suffered are true, then they deserve the worst that this world and the next can offer.

God rest your little soul, darling child.

And may God bless your siblings and give them peace in knowing that as children, there really wasn't any way to protect you. That was Social Services' job and they failed miserably...

Search Starts For Boy Missing For 10 Years

Yes, that's hard to believe, isn't it? The search STARTS for a boy that's been missing for 10 years!

I saw this on Yahoo and thought, WHAT???? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090106/ap_on_re_us/missing_boy_search

This poor kid, Adam Herrman, was adopted by parents who failed to report him as missing?

Or is he long dead and no one noticed?

In either case, those "parents" need to be thoroughly investigated.

I believe that every child deserves a forever home, where the child can grow up SAFE and LOVED.

I understand that the authorities are treading carefully. They should be careful. Even though I am doubting the parents' story that the child was a chronic runaway, well, anything is possible. Better to carefully put together the case than to jump the gun and blow it like Mark Fuhrman did back in the day. Or falsely accuse the parents like in the JonBenet case.

But if these people harmed this boy, I'm praying that the truth comes out and they are punished to the full extent of the law.

Every child deserves a forever home. A home where the child can grow up SAFE and LOVED.

Not a home where they didn't even bother to report the child missing...

More Paranoia In The Hinterland

Oh my goodness!

I just got back from out of state.

Did you know that there is some MAJOR paranoia going on in the hinterland?

I heard not one, but several people comment on how they're afraid of Obama.

Whaaaaa????????????????????????????

Oh my goodness, I really couldn't believe it. Some people are listening to way too many right wing whack job radio hosts.

Obama isn't going to overturn the Constitution. Even if he is a Democrat.

He isn't going to start a race war. Even if he is African-American. (Or bi-racial if you prefer.)

He isn't going to take your guns away. Even if he is a liberal.

Why?

Folks, do I really, really have to explain it?

Obama BELIEVES in civil rights and has worked as a lawyer. He wasn't always a politician. He has a real law degree and has used his education, training and knowledge to help those less fortunate than himself.

He's probably the best thing for our country right now, despite what the tin foil hats are blathering right and left.

He's not against the Constitution of the United States. He TAUGHT constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School for 12 years!

He's not a neo-Marxist. Shoot, he served on the Senate Committee for Veteran's Affairs and sponsored legislation favorable to our Veterans.

He's not anti-white. People, his MOTHER was white!

He's not a Muslim. He's been a member of a Christian church for what, twenty or so years. He's going to swear his oath on the Lincoln Bible, for God's sake!

My people, my people, he's an American citizen, just like you and I. Born in Hawaii of a US citizen, all the blatherings about his birthplace are just that, blatherings.

I really have trouble believing the paranoia in the hinterlands of our country. People will believe anything bad about anybody, won't they? Because they saw it on TV, because someone on the Internet said it, so it must be true.

I just shake my head. Then I sigh. People will believe anything except the plain, unvarnished truth...
