Mountainmama :blowkiss: I agree with your post.. It's sad that this little boy isn't going to get the attention he so deserves. I have no room to talk though, I'm guilty as the next person and I'm trying to figure out why?
I am sooooo sick of our justice system (from personal experience) our media (from personal experience) and America's general attitude towards kids. Children have no rights. I am about to go out on a limb here and share a very personal experience. My daughter was molested 5 years ago while staying with a sitter who happened to be a friend at the time. Her boyfriend did it. It was 2 weeks before my daughters 5th birthday. My husband went nuts and drove to his house and beat the heck out of the guy. My husband actually faced more jail time than the molestor. The local newspaper had a field day with it and when it came to writing about my husband, he was guilty. But when writing about the molestor, it was always 'alleged'. The guy plead guilty in a plea bargain...know what he received? He was convicted of simple battery...he had a $500 fine and 12 months community service. The real topper....he went on to repeat offend and they actually called me last year to see if I would testify against him in the new case. Thankfully justice was served...as in he DIED from a heartattack before the charges ever went through. I have little to no faith in the justice system and the media's spin is disgusting. Did my husband commit a crime by beating the heck out of him? Absolutely. But my God I am so proud of that man. Thankfully I have the comfort in knowing my daughter has a protector for a father...because I found out the hard way that you damn sure cannot count on others to do it for you.
