I just feel so sad when I think about all the ways Kodie's life could have gone had she managed to crawl out from that dark place. I struggled with depression between ages 12-17, and again two years ago, though I was thankfully never suicidal. This last time I had the advantage of knowing that...

Holy... I won't finish that, but wow that is amazing! He must be exhausted though, after 9 days, I hope they give the best possible care (and that some things change at that institution)

I'm sure your post is fine (not a mod). I 'm also confused as to what a intellectually delayed kid was doing with kids with problem behavior. I remember hearing my brother with PDD-NOS would be attending a school that was known as a school for 'troubled youths' and blowing up over it. I thought...

These things take long enough as it is, nature of the beast if you want a fair system, but still. I can only imagine court proceedings taking even longer now with covid and how frustrating that must be for the families, to have to wait so long to get justice for their children. Hania's murderer...

Sadly, murders of autistic children were horribly common even before the corona virus came along. I can only image quarantine is leading to even higher rates. The fictional men-of-color who always seem to crop up in these stories told me all I needed to know. This is so sickening and awful. RIP...

Echoing Unapologetically here, I'm 29 and still have a hard time with friendships and meeting people. It was somewhat easier as a child, though, became harder in my teens (hi depression!) and ever since it's like I've forgotten how it works. But I never had many friends, usually 1 or 2 at a...

I know your heart is with Kamille but she can't be helped anymore, right now there can only be justice, and she will get it, these people's gooses are cooked. Please save your energy for your recovery, rest and get better <3 I'm sorry, I can't imagine how scary this must be. As for the slime...

I notice on her FB that she started a job in early august, then posted a message in early september where she says she enjoys being part of a team, but on the 30th (still september) she left that job. I wonder if things didn't work out even though she had a positive impression. Speaking from...

I wonder what perpetrators of certain crimes can even be offered in exchange for a guilty plea. Some things are so awful that no matter if they plead or not, it just doesn't warrant anything less than life in prison. Especially if it stops just short of warranting CP, or the State doesn't have...

If it was hacked, it was by someone with a lot of time on their hands. So. many. posts. I understand certain aspects of your personality don't disappear the second you have kids, but maybe use an alter ego account? Maybe? This kiddo (thank goodness he was found) is going to grow up and use...

The whole T-shirt thing seems kind of weird to me, too. Don't tack on a 'product', just give her all the money. All of it. She's going to be saddled with a massive trauma for the rest of her life, at the very freaking least she should never have to worry about money again. Remove all financial...

Try copy/pasting the link into the google search bar, then when it shows up in the search results, click the little green arrow beneath and view in cache. Images are not displayed but the text works. I'm in Europe so I've been having to open an awful lot of sites that way lately, with the...

Also, the 'autism-like characteristics' make me wonder if he was emotionally and physically abused too, or isolated from other people, or denied human contact, which could have disrupted his social development in a way that was confused with (or presented as) autism spectrum. Makes me scared to...

I suppose now it's in keeping with forum rules to say this: I had a bad feeling about this from the start and was surprised this little guy turned up alive; not so much that the parents were arrested. There is small for ones age and then there is this. This seemed very unlikely to be due to a...

You would think the TC case would have educated judges and juries on how serious this kind of crime is, but apparantly they didn't pay attention. For shame.
