"A Child's Voice Connection"  is a Mission that I have been working on for the past several months.   I am a 46 year old father and husband, married for 26 years and 3 wonderful children, one precious grandson.

 

I have been posting for several month's now on Dr Phil's Depression Site.  I wanted to separate my discussions of depression from this Campaign.

 

Goals of this campaign:

 

  • To be an active advocate for the purpose of preventing Child abuse and Abductions.
  • To Integrate as many Advocacy Groups out there for one common cause.  This includes "The Amber Alert" which is named after Amber Hagerman who was a nine year old girl who was abducted, sexually assaulted, and murdered in 1996.
  • Public Awareness and intervention of suspicious circumstances of a child who may be the victim of abuse by reporting to authorities, calling 911.
  • To teach the public which will include parents, teachers, law enforcement, clergymen the significance and magnitude of this problem.  According to Oprah Winfrey, every day 2000 children are reported abducted or missing. 
  • To teach children, on a scale based on their ages how to avoid penitentially dangerous situations.  To teach them the realization of statistics and dangers,  and stories of other little girls and some little boys who have been abducted.  Especially the most well known and recent cases such as Amber Hagerman, Jessica Lunsford, Carlie Brucia, and others.
  • This is critical.  To teach little boys, on a sliding scale based on age, the SIGNIFICANCE AND LIFE LONG NEGATIVE IMPACT AND SEVERE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA THAT LITTLE GIRLS WILL SUFFER BECAUSE of THEIR ACTIONS.
  • I believe that if we increase our efforts 100 fold, which is totally possible, that we can reduce this horrific and disgusting and terrible assaults on our children by at least 50%.
  • My goal is to eliminate child abuse and abductions. 
  • Statistics say that 1 or 4 children are molested by the age of 18.  I believe that it is more life 50% or greater.  This is sickening and MUST BE STOPPED.
  • I would like to thank Oprah for her contributions to our children and her campaign to fight child abuse, and I share the same convictions as Oprah and hope that this message board will serve to help in this campaign.
  • I am an ordained minister and the is my calling.  I am going to work with the local Law Enforcement Agencies, The Amber Alert program, Churches, communities, and Neighborhood watches.

Summary.  Educate, protect and be as straight forward as possible to stop this madness.  TO get the communities involved, and have a plan of action which I am working on in the event of an abduction.

 

Please join this discussion and I am going to provide an email address to forward any questions and/or comments to related to this topic.

Welcome

Quote From: heather175

I do have a question. Is there any way to link a child predator database to this board? 

  

  

I apologize for being slow to respond.  Between my mother being sick, and constant car problems my time has been occupied. 

  

I had a doctor's appointment this morning and just have made it back to the computer to check the board. 

  

I haven't read all the posts yet, but thank you for coming by.  I think there are links now that others have posted and I intend to make this available and easily accessable. 

  

I will get back soon. 

  

  

Thanks, 

  

Djmatt.

Hang in there Sister

Quote From: labelfree

Of course all things will change for the good....One day at a time...I again am so proud of you.  I attempted to go on the borderline board and this other poster started with me and really hurt my feelings and quite honest my eyes are filled up with tears and I cant really deal with other people's dysfunction.  I since am working seeing some of my own and add stress of that on top I see how this world the REAL world works and Ill take my imagination any day.  One day you asked me if I was the lost girl and well today I would have to say yes...I would rather be lost in my head than to live in this society that is based on greed and takers.  It actually hurts me right down to the core of my being and that is no joke. 

  

This is not residual effects of child abuse I just cannot phantom the world stage and the selfishness of society and how people are just out for themselves and how the cover themselves,  lookout for themselves,  and I was told at work I was too nice!  Can anyone be too nice?  Should I have to change that about me?  I really do not fit in on this planet.  I thought dark things today. 

  

Please email soon when you have time and pray hard for me too ok! 

I completely understand your frustrations with the "real world". There are a lot of people int this society who are out for themselves at any cost to others.  I can relate to that with the employers who mistreated me severely up until the day I went on disability.    

  

I have fought nail and tooth to keep a job because of him, I have caught him in lies, and people have witnessed his unwarranted attacks on me.  I was released to go back to work by my doctor today.  Although I told him that I do good do drag myself out of the bed and I am on the floor and in serious pain a significant amount of time. 

  

I will just have to deal with this.  I am currently seeking employment for the disabled. 

  

From your statement about "being too nice", does that mean you are a supervisor?  I have been in supervisory positions for 20 years +.  I learned that you have to treat individuals with dignity and respect, and they will return the favor.  If they don't, then I would always look at the whole person and see if there are specific issues that are many times misunderstandings.  I have gone out of the way many times, and helped my employees, and they in turn save my job when I was being attacked and harassed by my supervisor, and he was going to resort to getting me fired.  All of my employees stood up for me, and he dropped his vendetta. 

  

I am praying hard for you.  I would like to know if you are seeing a counselor at this time, if that is any of my business?  Although you cannot rationalize a link between your childhood abuse and current difficulties, there may be some connections that you are not aware of.  I will not press this issue, but it took a long time for me to relate some of my struggles to my childhood.  There was some abuse and it has been manifested in various forms. 

  

Take care.  Thank you for being so supportive and your kind words.  Without you and others, I would not have come this far. 

  

soon, 

  

dj

Fantastic Team

Quote From: yesyoucan

I don't know if you want to check out but apparently it is first come first serve of FREE things too good to throw away that people list what is free then you just go get. I don't know the particulars so you'd have to check out and here is the link below... Not sure if they'd have Foxpro but what if they had some FREE tools... That'd really help... Might not be people participating in your area but over 2000 are in my area. Here is the link...it is like recycling to help fellow Americans out. The best way to invest in America is to invest in Americans, I always say... Yes, try not to get too many irons in the fire and focus. You and me and we all need to practice that good habit. I hope having this board now will help you to feel more at ease knowing that each time people click on CURRENT EVENTS people become AWARE of protecting our children. Did you see Michele's post that she checked out missingkids link and saw job openings and may apply there after she graduates from college this summer. So see...Michele's really got it together already helping youth at a YWCA and coming to your board is "why" she checked out the missingkids link. How's that sports fans? Hooray for DJ's board and hooray for Michele... (((HUGs)))

AWARENESS

I knew I could rely on this group to step up to bat for our children.  Although we all have our personal issues it's good that we can come together as a group and see this thing working.  It's slow to start, but like Label said, it will take off. 

  

Sorry, am way behind on reading the posts due to illnesses, car troubles, doctor visits, etc.  My wife's car is still down.  I drove my car, the one I just replaced the fuel pump on, and I was going to the hospital for ex-rays last night when the car died on me.  The ex-rays were for today's follow up visit on my neck surgery.  I called my brother, and he helped me out on the phone. 

  

Luckily I had a pair of pliers.  I was stuck for at least an hour, and again working on the car in the pouring rain.  But I managed to get it running and still have work to do on it.  My brother is going to come by tomorrow after he gets off work and help me figure out what went wrong with my wife's' car before I put it back together again. 

  

And the car mom loaned to me, it breaks down over and over.  I just deal with it. 

  

I really should go to the depression board to talk about my car situations, etc.  

  

Hooray for Michele...as you said.  I need to read her post.  This is fantastic.  GOD is working, and people are being touched and moved by this commission from GOD.   

  

Hooray for ALL of you have have participated and are a part of this team, this effort, OUR mission to put an end to this horrible and sadistic practice of child abuse and molestations. 

  

Everyone please stay with me,  and please be patient.   I have made a commitment and I am sticking with it.  I am struggling to move forward, but GOD will supply the increase,. AMEN. 

  

I will check the links.  I have spent thousands on repairs to all of these vehicles including my daughter's truck.   I don't know how I am going to make ends meet.  But I have to have faith.

It's wonderful to get a reaction from you and to know that you are taking interest in my campaign.  Please do keep me informed.  I will read the article and our prayers are with Amanda.  I am limited as to my involvement, but would love to be involved on a full time basis. 

  

God has commissioned me to head this campaign, and I have a huge blueprint that I am still working on to attempt to change some laws, and to campaign with an increase of 100 fold of current volunteers and professionals combined.  This is the only way we are going to put a STOP to this horrible and needless string of abductions, sexual molestations and murders of so many innocent children. 

  

This sickens me, and I would put my life on the line any day to save a child.  I have contacts at the local Police Department who I plant to meet with and to present my campaign to them.  I have a nephew on the police department, so maybe he will be able to help me on this.

Quote From: sea_shells

thanks for the info.I will be sure to watch.thanks again!DJMATT HAVE A GOOD DAY!!

I regret that I was unable to watch the show.  But when I get caught up I will read the articles on Dr Phil's site. 

  

Thanks for your support of this campaign and this message board.  Wonderful things will come of this.  We ARE going to reduce the number of violent acts against our Children.  I just need to get the word out to the world that this campaign is coming at them.  And the pedophiles had better put a stop to their sinister and devastating acts of violence.  Because when God's people get fired up about a campaign, the spirit will move. 

  

God bless and please stay with me for support.

While I am struggling to make through the days, I have the support of the wonderful group of people who are so willing to assist and concerned about this campaign.  You have posted a wealth of information (contacts), although I am having trouble keeping up right now, GOD will work things out. 

  

Thanks for your strength, you backing and support to this cause.  And I don't want anyone to feel that I don't appreciate your efforts and support as well.  This is a GROUP EFFORT, and this campaign will be rolling right along soon. 

  

I have some other issues but I will post on the depression site. 

  

I will add these links and contacts to the heading of the message board.

God Bless you and if there is anything I can do on my end to assist PLEASE let me know. I'd be more than honored to help in any way I can.
