It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask Him for nothing, except one more day...............

MyHotCommentsI would like to be an ear that you can have listen. I have never lost a child and cant imagine how much pain you could be in but I am willing to try to understand. I have 4 children of my own and dont ever want to experience the feeling alot of you have from losing a child. I try to protect them anyway I can and will do whatever it takes to protect them.It breaks my heart and angers me at the same time how a parent or family member or even a caregiver that the child should and alot of times does trust ends up harming or killing them. What happened and why is alot of the questions asked. No child should endure such pain and anguish especially by those they love and should be able to trust.I cry alot when I see such things on the news.You are in my prayers and if you ever want to chat or just vent send me a message. God Bless

Aug 19, 2007 ~ 197.071.653 ~ That is the number of people in Your Extended Network! Do you know everyone in real life? Can you trust they are who they say they are?
Statistically, one (1) out of five (5) children will fall prey to some form of sexual abuse. That is one too many!
Too many children, through no fault of their own, are falling victim to online predators and many have to live their lives as survivors, at least those who still have that option. Some unfortunately are no longer with us.
Kristin Helms, a star student and athlete, was seduced by a predator nearly twice her age who traveled from Texas to California to have sex with her. Kristin Helms, 14, was found hanged after anxiety over a liaison she had with an older man she met online.
Kacie Woody was 14 years old and the daughter of a police officer. She no longer has a choice about putting her information online. She was killed by a man who tracked her down from information she gave him.
Francelee Amada left On December 2, 2002 to meet someone from online. He was 16 and hasnt been seen since.
Christina Long was a catholic school 6th grader, captain of her cheerleading squad, altar girl and a straight A student. She was killed by a man she met online.
Judy Cajuste was killed by someone she met online and left in a dumpster. There is a $15,000.00 reward for information leading to her killer.
We have legitimate Law Enforcement Myspace pages listed in our Project LE Friends Blog. Please use these officers and departments to protect yourselves from becoming another Kristin, Kacie, Francelee, Christina or Judy.
Use the power of your voices to speak up. After all your voice is the most important weapon you have.
Thank you.

Sierra and Jay gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Carter on June 7th, 2007. They had no idea their world was going to change drastically.
In the hospital, Sierra had a high temperature and Carter's heart rate was over 200. The doctors had finally decided to do a c-section but didn't come back to Sierra until almost 2 1/2 hours later. At that point, they told her to start pushing. After 1 1/2 hours of pushing, Carter arrives into the world. He had lack of oxygen, causing brain damage and a collapsed lung. Sierra urges everyone to make sure their doctor can perform a c-section (her doctor could only assist) and that their hospital can care for an infant who may need to be immediately placed in the NICU.
Carter now has episodes of Apnea almost daily. Apnea is when you just stop breathing. He is on a monitor that monitors his breathing and his heart rate 24 hours a day. He is also on an oximeter, which measures his oxygen level. One of his lungs has collapsed 2 times since birth and he is now on medicine for seizures. Carter also suffers from Hypotonia, which is low muscle tone. He is very floppy and the doctors are not sure if he will ever walk. He is being fed through a G tube (feeding tube). The G tube surgery was his first surgery and he did very well. Carter also cannot go to the bathroom on his own due to the brain damage and is on 3 different laxatives, 7 times a day. The family and doctors are also not sure Carter is hearing or seeing very well.
Please see the video below and join Carter's circle of friends

" Gone But Not Forgotten "

To re-post-hit reply, copy everything and put in new bulletin! This is video above is of Kelsey's mother and how she feels. My question is how could she not know about the abuse especially after Kelsey's 2 broken legs. I think she feels remorse but refuses to believe she did anything wrong. After the 2 broken legs (this is my opinion) she shouldve left her husband and protected he daughter anyway she could. She should have let Kelsey stay and live with her grandmother. If she would have I think Kelsey would be turning 5 this year. Rae Dawn knew about it-she had to.Im not to judge her only God knows and can do that.Kelsey, you will not be forgotten.Please click on the following link to watch the video then click on banner below to sign the Child Abuse Prevention Act for Summer Phelps. Thank you!

How do I help someone I think is a victim of domestic violence?
Without realizing it, we all know someone who has been abused or who is currently being abused. While we may want to help, many of us may not know how. We often feel uncomfortable "butting in" to another person's affairs. We don't have to be afraid to help, however. Here are a few suggestions for helping someone you suspect may be at risk of getting hurt at home.
If you suspect one of your family members, friends or coworkers is a victim:
Do say:
I am afraid/concerned for you.
Have you thought about a safety plan?
You deserve to be treated well. No matter what you do or say, it is not okay for him/her to hurt you.
Don't say:
Why don't you leave?
Why do you let him/her treat you like that?
"You should . . ." (Victims are empowered by the ability and power to make their own decisions.)
Do:
Respect the victim's right to her own feelings, even if you can't empathize with those feelings.
Listen and support without passing judgment.
Inform the victim of resources such as an EAP, etc., that are available through the company, if she/he works.
Refer the victim to helpful community resources such as legal assistance, safe shelters, and outreach programs.
If the victim is a coworker, consult with your EAP counselor and/or human resource administrator to discuss your concerns regarding violent or potentially violent situations.
If the victim is a coworker, maintain confidentiality for the safety of the victim and provide support, yet do not compromise the workplace or go against company policies.
Stay connected to the victim. Continue to be supportive without condoning the violence.
Offer to make the call to a battered women's shelter for her or with her.
If you are a supervisor or a manager:
When handling domestic violence in the workplace, supervisors should be equipped with ample referral information. Keep a list of local safe houses, legal resources, and counseling agencies. Remember your professional role is that of supervisor, not of counselor. You can be supportive without compromising professionalism or safety. Back to Top
How do I help someone I think is abusive to his/her partner or family?
Confronting someone you suspect is abusive affects more than the adults involved. By speaking up, you could help the whole family, including children who witness the violence. Speak up before it's too late.
If you suspect a family member, friend or coworker is being abusive at home:
Do:
Express empathy for difficulties experienced by this person.
Advise the batterer to stop the violence (just like you would advise someone not to drive drunk).
Maintain that there is no excuse for violence.
Remind the person that only he/she controls his/her behavior. No one can make him/her be abusive or lose control.
Say, "I'm concerned. It's clear that you feel a lot of anger and tension over this. What can we do to make sure nobody gets hurt?"
Refer the individual to a perpetrator's intervention and counseling program such as AMEND. AMEND has office locations in Denver, Lakewood, Greenwood Village, Brighton, Thornton, and Castle Rock.
Provide the individual with referral information to the EAP if he/she is a coworker.
Make an effort to stay in touch with this person. The perpetrator may be as isolated as the victim. Be persistent and realize you may have to take the initiative.
Don't:
Blame the victim.
Be taken in by excuses.
Assume the victim is safe if he/she says it won't happen again, even if the person who has been abusive is remorseful.
Try to physically intervene. Rather, call the police.
Feel guilty about calling the police. You might be saving someone's life.
While reaching out to a suspected victim of domestic violence may be difficult, reaching out to a suspected perpetrator is even harder.
Calling someone on his or her abusive behaviors may be the hardest thing you ever have to do. It could also be the most compassionate. By addressing a friend, family member, or coworker about abusive behaviors, you could save someone's life.

Encouraging Others
When you're in need of encouragement, offer your own encouragement to someone else. Nothing can lift you more surely and genuinely than your own efforts to lift another.
Think back on the times you remember most fondly. And you'll see that the brightest days have been those days when you've given most generously of yourself.
When you focus only on your own problems and challenges, it puts you in a negative and helpless state of mind. Yet when you turn your attention to helping others with the challenges they face, you naturally become more positive and effective.
When you sense that you're feeling sorry for yourself, redirect that energy. Transform it into compassion for others. There is always something you can do to lift up those around you. And it's a reliable way to lift your spirits as well.
Give the encouragement you would like to receive. And you will indeed receive it in double measure.
-- Ralph Marston
