Hundreds of People Listen to Six Bands Perform At The Jacksonville Landing With Donations Going to The Somer Thompson Foundation






JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Crowds came out to the Jacksonville Landing for the music and good times, but mostly they came for the seven-year-old girl they may not have ever met but felt like they knew.

Six bands took the stage for Somer Jam on Saturday a concert to benefit the newly formed Somer Thompson Foundation.

The members of bands like "Shawn Fisher and the Jukebox Gypsies," say they were grateful for the chance to donate a performance.

"Musicians don't really get a chance that much except benefit concerts to show they care for the community so we wanted to come out and show our support," said Fisher.

And fans enjoying the shows feel they were also part of something bigger.

Thousands Pack Landing For 'Somer Jam'
Fundraiser For The Somer Thompson Foundation

POSTED: Saturday, March 27, 2010
UPDATED: 11:11 am EDT March 28,2010
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Molly Hatchet headlined a concert at the Jacksonville Landing Saturday, but all the attention was on Somer Thompson.

Thousands of people attended Somer Jam -- the very public launch of a foundation to financially assist families and victims of violent crimes.

The Somer Thompson Foundation was set up to honor the memory of the 7-year-old who was abducted and killed while walking home from school in her Orange Park neighborhood in October of 2009.

"You can't be mother and not feel something, or on on father for that matter," said Lee Krause, a volunteer for the foundation.

This is not related to Somer's case but is a bit of info regarding child *advertiser censored*.

I read this in an article on Internet safety in the Helena Independent Record.


Fischer warned parents and educators about file sharing programs, such as LimeWire or FrostWire, which are mostly used to trade music. However, pedophiles also use them to trade child *advertiser censored*.
 
‘20/20′ looks at Somer Thompson case, problems with predators in society
20/20, ABC, WFTV — posted by halboedeker on April, 15 2010 1:13 PM

ABC’s “20/20“ devotes its full hour this week to the tragedy of Florida girl Somer Thompson and its larger ramifications.

The program is “a window into a really big problem with predators in society — I don’t think we know how to deal with them,” “20/20″ anchor Chris Cuomo said. The program airs at 10 p.m. Friday on WFTV-Channel 9.

Records: Jarred Harrell tells cops he was at Gano Avenue home day Somer Thompson vanished

Harrell's mother said she was also with him, though timelines differ

The records show detectives first interviewed Harrell on Oct. 30 in Somer's case. He allowed them to search the home and property, but they spotted nothing suspicious.

Harrell said he had been with his mother between 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on the day Somer disappeared, including time they spent at the home helping her back for a move to Callahan. Somer was last seen in the neighborhood about 2:45 p.m.

Harrell's mother, Annis Dailey, told police she was with him, apparently at the home, between 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., the records show. She said they left together, gassed up their vehicles, had dinner at a McDonald's and split up about 5:30 p.m. In a jail call between them months later in Mississippi, Dailey told her son she would provide him an alibi in Somer's case.
