They can't be rehabilitated, so there is no safe way to allow them to live.

Sorry if that sounds cold, but I have no sympathy for them. In my mind they gave up whatever rights they might have had the first time they hurt a child.

You're right Tink. That's the same number we learned in my Child Welfare class. It's just astonishing to think that one person can hurt so many people...

Judy, I am sorry to hear this but thank God she got away. If you think of what could have happened you go insane. The b******d . I always drove my kids to school to just from being over protective of them so much. When it came time for middle school I had no choice but to let them walk with each other or friends. I did live a half a block away from school.. I always put the fear of God into them not to speak to any strangers etc..

Till this day and they are in 20's and young adults . I still check on them when they are out, or they call me to let me know whats going on if its late. They know that I worry regardless of age. It is just a habit...

We live in such a sick society and I hope the world becomes better for Micah and our grandkids...

Haley,

One thing I'm very careful of is that I always hold the granchildren's hands when we are out. This isn't easy because there are 3 of them, but Mackenzie holds one of the little one's hands. We walk in a row. They have to be close enough to me so that I can grab them if I have to.

I hated taking them to malls and would not go to a Chuckie Cheese kind of place.

I know I'm overprotective, but I don't care.

I'm sure you're the same with that cute little guy of yours.

Can't blame you Judy, we live in a very sick world... I moved out of my home town accross the river cause there were to many drugs and people that just don't want to work, its a shame what my home town has become, the mayor is always in the newspaper talking about how bad the drugs are.. I also seen so many of my (x-friends) become drug users,. They look terrible.. aged them 50 years!
