How does this happen?
And how do “we” deal with it?
Statistics and tragedies. Millions and the one…little…child…lost.

Canadian Busybodies Award
What the world needs now is more Canadian busybodies.
If you or someone you know knows this woman, tell her a mom in Texas wants to reward her for doing the right thing–getting involved.
Justin Carter–not all speech should be free
A young man the same age as Adam Lanza makes explicitly violent threats on Facebook and then his family cries foul and claims he is just a sarcastic teen?
Troubled at best. What he said was specific, disturbing, and directed at defenseless little children. He should be held accountable and care should be taken to protect little ones in his community. The way this case is handled will influence the way others use and misuse social media. Why should any of us tolerate hate speech against children?
We simply should not.
I hope and pray that prosecutors in this case fully investigate this man’s Internet history as well as how he has treated animals and children. Bullying words define a bully. Why should anyone wait until Mr. Carter chooses to act on words and threats too awful to repeat?
If Justin Carter gets a slap on the wrist, it will be a slap in the face to child advocacy. Our children deserve our protection.
Just for fun

Will there be justice for Alanna Gallagher–the girl in a tarp?
I have been waiting for news about Alanna Gallagher, and now I know her name.
Her body was found bound and nearly naked in a tarp dumped on a suburban street.
The children who found her thought she was discarded trash.
The person who did this to her treated her like garbage. Worse than garbage.
Her name and precious little face add further dimensions to a brutal murder. I am grateful that there is a reward for information and I am grateful that the FBI is involved, but I have to raise my usual lament–
A beautiful child was tortured and murdered and she is not news to you, to us, to our country.
The truth is our country is accustomed to the brutal murders of children. What’s one more?
What’s one more to you?
You gonna do something about it? Are the women of Texas? Is Wendy Davis?
When one human life is devalued, so are all the rest.
The Real Cost of Abortion
An abortion costs approximately $500. If a woman opts for a late term abortion it can cost in the thousands.
$500 to $2000 to evacuate a living child from your uterus. If you multiply these numbers by the number of abortions in each state, country, continent, you get a pretty big number. You get a multi-billion dollar industry.
Abortion is a business and everyone gets paid.
But if I bet if someone offered you all that money in exchange for even one of your children, you wouldn’t take it.
You would not hesitate. Our children are the real treasure. Worth all the money in the world.
White People Live Here
You tell yourself it won’t touch you
Or your children
It simply cannot
In your white house
White street
White town
White country
I once lived in a beautiful
White house
Broken ceiling
Come right down
The man and his minions
They fixed it right up
Things that shift and fall
He said
“Now it looks like white people live here”
But they didn’t
Hell, you say when you hear the story
A little girl found dead in a dumpster
You want to believe
It will not touch you
But it will.
Because white people live here
Oh, did you think I was talking about your skin?
Too easy
The color of
…the flag you raise
Quick surrender
Our children for a song,
Nursery rhymes and fairy tale
Wolves all real.
At the Saginaw Intersection
The last article I posted was heartbreaking–this blog post gives more information and is unbearable.
No one should treat another human being with that kind of savage cruelty.
All we have to look for a–a red truck with a paint splotch.
So start looking. This little girl deserves justice. The children who found her will need help to carry this terrible memory.
And none of us are safe.
Senator Davis–please.
This is on your doorstep, your watch. Do something—poor little one
I know you will say what every other elected official has said to me about the dangers our children face–
it is not my issue.
Make it your issue. Please do something to bring about justice for this poor child. Justice for her and protection for all our little ones.
Please. I am begging you.
