I found the case through your signature so, thank you too! Precious, sweet baby girl Alissa...Thank you Believe and Princess for taking an interest in Alissa's case. :woohoo:
Fascinating info at this link including someone claiming to be Alissa's grandmother chiming in: http://www.justice4caylee.org/t5379-alissa-b-guernsey-15-months-2009-dekalb-lagrange-county-in
and this gem (BBM): "Testimony from Shaffer’s parents described Alissa Guernsey as being “challenged” and “an extreme handful.”
Shaffer said the young girl would spend a lot of time staring off into space and had poor coordination. She said she and her husband did what they could to make special arrangements for her, including installing baby gates and removing hard objects. At one point, she said, they considered getting a helmet for the girl, who seemed prone to bruising and falls."
:furious:
She was a TODDLER. Toddlers are a handful! Installing baby gates and removing dangerous things from your home are not "special arrangements," it's what you do when you have a toddler in your home!
I was looking at the FB page for this case, and they seem very desperate to get 25k signatures by the deadline. I believe they said that if they reach that goal, the Obama administration will look into the case. Um....is that true? I find it doubtful. There has to be many petitions on that website that have gotten 25k+ signatures. I'm not even sure what the president can do. IDK I just see them working tirelessly to get these signatures, and I just don't see anything coming from this online petition. :/
I signed both petitions. The one for the white house that is seeking to get 25,000 is now up to 19,000. I also shared this on my facebook. This is an absolute outrage. If the county or state refuses to do anything, I hope that the feds can come in and do something.
My signature refers to a case where the feds stepped in and are perusing charges because the case cried out for justice. Baby Alissa cries out for justice.
I'm not sure how current this is, but there's a petition to re-open her case:

There's a message from Alissa's mother, Kelly Sprunger, on there.
Really, I'd love to see this case on Dr. Phil.. something controversial like that, where the right questions will be asked, and attention is national. This is such a shocking breach of every concept and system of child protection, it NEEDS to be aired like the dirty laundry it really is!!!
