I sincerely appreciate your response on this matter. You seem like a good person, and yes I do indeed express myself openly often on these message boards. I will do what I can to continue with the Child Abuse campaign. And I will hold on to the things which are important to me, as long as I can hang on.
Right now, I feel extremely depressed and defeated in a major way. I have tried extremely hard to remain positive and upbeat, especially on the message board that I initiated called "A Child's Voice Connection..." which is located under News and Current Events.
I do not know what is going on with my body, but the severe pains and fatigue seem to continue to destroy my life, and any hopes of a future. And if this is on the wrong message board, I am well aware of this now, and I will soon have all of my posts deleted from this site. I need time to save or print some of them, which is critical to my record keeping.
I have tried to be an inspirer, a spiritual adviser, and just open up another avenue of communication for people who were abused as children, and to attempt to spark a campaign that would bring AWARENESS to every household, to every individual across the nation, and bring together ALL religions, ALL races, ALL communities, ALL concerned parties into a MASSIVE movement and intervention to PREVENT child abuse and abductions.
There are FOUR stages to this campaign that are vital to this campaign. But it's so hard to get people involved. It breaks my heart that I have to see this on the news almost daily that another child has been abducted, raped and murdered. What the heck are we going to do to stop this madness? It just tears me apart inside. And with the little strength I have left, whether it is here on DR Phil's site, or by other means, I will continue the campaign until I can go no more.
- AWARENESS. It is crucial that people are informed, and aware of the dangers that lurk among the living. Among strangers, and even friends and relatives. Many molestations are by family members which opens up a whole new set of emotional and stressful situations, and the child is still the victim.
- PLANS: We need a much more efficient blueprint on preventing child abuse, and responses to an abducted or missing child.
- CRITIQUE: We need to spend a lot more time and effort dissecting each case of child abuse that is elevated to the degree of rape and murder. We need to educate our pre-teens for instance as to the REALITY and the consequences to both the victim and the victim's family, and to the perpetrator. For instance, I sincerely believe that the fourteen year old boy who murdered the eight year old girl neighbor and friend of his has a major defect in his brain. I believe that he thought in his mind that the little girl was going to die no matter what, and that he was attempting to relieve her suffering. All people are not the same. And some people live in terror over various issues, and some react in unthinkable ways.
- ACTION: These processes must be well thought out, well organized and planned, and we need to put them into action. We need to explain to the pre-teens and adolescents about how some people will do anything in order to use them, and teach them awareness, and arm them with the tools necessary to survive, and to avoid abductions, etc.
My health is terrible. I am 60% to 80% incapacitated most of the time, and the doctors tell me they see no cause for the pain. I heard this for a long time prior to a good doctor who put his finger on a ruptured disc which led to neck surgery in August, 2005. Months after the surgery I am still in significant pain, or severe pain most days. For instance, I had a doctor's appointment scheduled for 3:00 pm today, I just could not make it.
I am now to the point that I haven't the energy, resources, motivation or transportation to continue going from doctor to doctor trying to find the root of the pain. One can only take so much.
Again, I sincerely appreciate your response, and may God bless you,
