My understanding is that witness need to be very solid to prove a case. It is hard enough for grown women to talk about this. They may been interviewing, medical personal, teachers, counselor and distant relatives. To many of these people walk or get probation.

Bumping this up for folks making the rounds of the haunted places this weekend.

I am so sorry you have to go through this. Take the company up on their offer of counseling, things like this can come back on you when you are under stress.

For the record I think that we are screwed with both. I am more analytical about campaigns and how the public reacts to them. The staunch right probably could not bring themselves to watch the Democratic convention or to listen with open ears to many Obama speeches. There needs to be some caution with Obama appearing to be the underdog. A lot of people don't blame Obama for the layoffs, they blame corporate America, they have come face to face with poverty and dependance. People that never thought they would find themselves there. The Republications have taken some hard hits with their s

I will share a universal truth with folks, this is not directed at you. They say that abusers grow up to abuse, their is a very small percentage that do. The truth is most people abused as kids not can bring themselves to touch their kids. But they do not have the right to label people that use corporal punishment as abusers. What happens is the when an abused child grows up to have their own children they have not learned any other tool. I have also seen the children of people that can't discipline have a lot of guilt for how they were allowed to treat their parents. I have seen adults

I used corporal punishment very little and mine obeyed me. I started when they were toddlers and by first grade the punishment was far and few between. If they won't mind by 1st grade you have a problem.

I hate you tell folks when a child resents punishment or feels abused, they were abused. It may have not been your intention but validation that you made them feel that and a sorry is in order. People reading this may feel like that but have never verbalized it. We are human, we are all different, whats important is a happy well adjusted life. It is ok to tell your kids that you over reacted. Parents will come down harder on one sibling than the other, one feels abused and one is fine with it. Feelings are real, reasons don't really negate the feeling. I know that if my kids c

I think when children are whipped excessively that there is a communication problem. This is what parents did when I was growing up. Looking I know that often I did not know what I was doing wrong until the beating started. It leaves the impression that one has to figure out wrong by oneself, beatings are a result of lazy parenting. The parents awaits the wrong doing, beats the child and the result is a parent has done their job. I only spanked my kids a handful of times. I was a navy wife on my own most of the time. My kids went everywhere with me and traveled with me. I could not do this

That is horrible, I can't imagine how scared you must have been. Not many would have kept their head like you did. Is fred's going to pay for you to talk to a professional? Your in shock now, but it is going to hit you, all the what if's and it might be hard for you to deal with. I will be praying for you.

The attorney for Mrs. Comer pointed out that Mr. Comer was not the child's biological father. She ask the court to note how small Mrs. Comer is and that the daughters were small also. Insinuating that the small structure and Mitch's refusal to eat was the reason for him being underweight and malnourished. I believe that I would have sought medical attention for my child under those circumstances. I know that some drug therapies can retard growth in children, so I guess we will have to wait for the trial. The DA was very sharp in this case.

Thanks

I know you are here, the last time we talked he seemed okay, I didn't real get concerned until this Tuesday his labs showed he had a higher count, then went even lower this week. We are use to most of the things he goes through, but this is what you don't want to see, so it is time for prayer and concern.

I called him this evening, he has been watching tv laying on the couch dozing. I worry about that, he doesn't have anything to look forward to. He can't even look forward to the holidays cause he doesn't know if he will be doing chemo or isolated. At least If I was there I could motivate him to do stuff around the house that needs doing and he would get a sense of accomplishment. We just have to wait till Tuesday and the doctors report. Thank you all for the support and prayers. Thank you I just know it is going to make a difference, I expect good news Tuesday with all the prayin

You are not going to like the interview with the lawyers. This is very emotional for everyone, like or not these 2 people are innocent at this point. I am sorry that I missed the morning session there was a lot of testimony. This was about flight risk.

The attorneys for the Comers requested 10,000 bond and ankle bracelets. They testified that the Comers loved their children and would not be a flight risk. The detective on the case testified that the Comers had moved 15 times in 5 different states. Also that when they lived in Cherokee a DFACS investigation resulted in mandatory counseling, the Comers moved to Paulding to avoid counseling. Testimony from the company that monitors security bracelets admitted that they could and have been cut. District attorney Cole brought up a case where a man in Paulding charged with murder cut his and ra

If what that kid is saying can be backed up, the teacher needs to be terminated. If a child wears any clothing to school that is a disturbance I have no issue with taking a child aside and saying your not in trouble but we need to keep order in the class and ask the child to change. I can tell you that I have seen school officials that are very sarcastic and don't behave much better than the students in that context. It is not okay for a teacher to pick on a kid or tease ever. You never know what a kids home life is like, for some school is the only stable environment a child has. Chi

Thanks for your prayer, it is very comforting. I almost feel like a weight has been lifted because I know that the prayers are helping and it is all I can do for now.

How could he not improve with all these people praying. My daughter called me this morning offering to drive me, I told her I was waiting for the report on Tuesday. If he is improving I will hold off another week I will go later rather than sooner. They are giving him antibiotics for some protection. I am so glad that I stocked his pantry when I was there, it was empty. Last year he almost died from food poisoning so they cleared his pantry of anything even close to expiration. I know my dad very well, he did not restock it because he did not want to spend the money. Nobody was co

Cartersville has some very nice Pubs, try googling them.

He is very smart, and he definitely wants to enjoy the holidays. I think he would probably ask the doctor for advice and he would follow that advice. He is very disciplined, if the doctor says don't even eat a boiled fresh potato he won't. So I will have him ask the doctor if I should come. Thank you, with all the prayers from everyone I would not be surprised to get a phone call with better news. After 10 years and all the ups and downs this is the one that is wait and see. there is no battle plan with this. Thank you I appreciate that.

If I do go he is getting off that couch, he says he feels good. I am sure that he won't catch anything from lemon furniture polish. He keeps it 98 degrees in there all winter with the fire and the antiques get all dried out. He will be helping me clean if I go unless the doc says otherwise.

I know he wants me there, he cries when I leave and then tells me how sorry he is for crying because my family needs me. He never ask, my sisters call and ask because he talks constantly about me when he is needing me. I am calling on yall just sharing is helping me. I also believe very strongly in the power of prayer. I believe it is a tangible power in the universe that changes things from what they may be to what they can be.

Thank you, I have made the best friends of my life on p.com. Thank you, they work you know.

Thanks, like Rocky said when you get our age a lot of your friends are in the same boat with aging and sick parents. Living far away requires decisions other just don't fortunately have to make.

I know one of my kids would help me too. I am going to hold out until Monday unless I hear something. He calls like clockwork when he gets his labs back. I will wait that long if he is not better, I can wear some scrubs and a mask on the plane and dispose of them before I go into the house. I know that prayer makes a difference. When it does not no need to beg God he knows best. I know my daddy is lonesome and we are coming up on the anniversary of my mothers passing this month. Thank you sweetie, my peeps have a lunch planned Friday, But don't withdraw the offer I have time to fil
