I am overjoyed at the Michigan news today... LIFE for Hayes, more than we expected for Baker...Rest well, Dominick, darlin...your work here is done... AND to hear King's ringing GUILTY on all 3 counts...well, hell....Michigan advocates should be proud today!! You see, all it takes is a loud voice...a steady march...a raging voice to call down the thunder...
Disappointment is watching other states drop the ball....watching some babies get no notice, no justice...no rest. Brianna...her killers should have life... Conrad...Michele....Caylee....so many cases leave us with our jaws dropped, our mouths agape like we are in the last bend of a mental breakdown... It's disheartening to see that, although we share a flag, we share a President and a Constitution....children aren't always, in each state, each county, each republic...held in the same regard. Florida, for instance, has dropped the ball so much in the past year alone, THERE should be some sort of ALERT running on every channel asking the public to do a better damn job than the CPS/DFS and to be honest, the juries down in the panhandle state must be drinking some special juice.... Don't even get me started on good ol ND either....
I despise the fact that I can't change the world faster...I am angered any time I see a new case, a new angel....a sad sentence... Sometimes I don't know what more to do than pray, on my knees, head to the ground, pray... then sometimes I get a message from one of my survivor bubbies or their family...and I know...that although it looks bleak...it seems like there is no end in sight.... you must raise up and look at the little victories.... it is hard to do this, it is hard to scream and shout for the lost...it feels like we have waited too long...losing just one is as painful as losing the many... But always rejoice when it's good news..always always always thank God when we save just one...when we get 10 more years than anyone expected...when we catch one before it's too late...those are the moments we (advocates) must cling to...hang onto like a life raft...cement into our memories as we move on to perhaps less success, slight loss....complete epic fails...because...if we save just one...if one child is left with hope...one shard of light can pierce the darkness for much longer than one would think... Follow the light...seek the truth...pierce the darkness with the laughter of one child... Hold tightly and march on...vigilance is what it takes...no matter what the obstacle, no matter what the storm...one by one...we will change the world. God Bless you all today and every day...xxx
Share Conrad's Law if you will....we need 5k for a first read in Congress and we now stand 2282 :D Good JOB sharing the past few days...I appreciate all your support -- butterfly kisses from angels will surely find their way to every single soul who helps bring this nation a reality where children come first...abusers are punished like the very worst of criminals should be... Drugs may be a real problem in this country but when you can get a more severe sentence for carrying cocaine than if you kill a defenseless child....we MUST change our priorities, tighten our belts and make a real plan that saves children!!!!

Make killing a child during any act of child abuse a FEDERAL charge that carries life without parole. Period. Thank you!!
