Wow...hope the parents are found soon. Maybe the child just wandered off like we've heard about in other cases. Unfortunately it happens even when people think they are securing their children in their home, etc.

about an hour from Atlanta

are head injuries automatically flown to Grady?

I have posted an update thread on his condition. http://www.paulding.com/forum/index.php?sh...c=97490&hl=

I am meeting some folks at Roses' store tonight at 7 p.m. for collections. I will be going to the hospital tomorrow. I am not aware of anyone in custody at this time.

I was told this morning that he (Donald "Shakey") is awake. I assume they will be checking in the next day or two to discover what extent his injuries are and how they have affected him. Please continue to pray. I will be visiting the hospital tomorrow and taking the donations to the family.\

PM'd you in return about your PM/offer.

I spoke with the mom and she seems to be doing as well as could be expected. I explained to her our thoughts on ways we could help and asked if there was anything else she could think of that might be useful. She said those things sounded good. I asked her if his condition was the same and she indicated that he was taken off the respirator today, which is a good sign. Time will tell what other issues may arise, but for now, we can be glad in that improvement. I will still be going to see her on Thursday and I believe Momstradamus may go with me if she can. I am going to be

Thats good news! Has anyone heard how Donald is doing?? last I heard there was no change in condition.

I want to add something here. I do not know this family personally although some p.commers do. I do not know what happened any more than what has been released in the news and to my knowledge, no one else really did either with the exception of the boy (who is not conscious) and those involved. If you have skepticism about what might have happened, I understand. If you choose not to donate as a result of that, I understand. I understand that there will probably be a lot of stories floating around, but at this point, I only know what has been reported and the links have been posted

I thought it was more than one, but do not know for sure. Please check out the other thread about helping if you can and wish to do so. http://www.paulding.com/forum/index.php?sh...c=97143&hl=

Ok, here are ways to donate and what the plan is for giving (you can donate cash through paypal/ dropoff, or you can donate a physical gift card (please make sure the amount is indicated somewhere) if you prefer (if you are meeting me or dropping off with CC): 1) Paypal to crittyL@yahoo.com 2) drop-off with Caped Crusader at Cregg Hatch Insurance sometime today (Tuesday)--mark it "RR Accident" (His office closes early on Wednesday and I am planning to take these on Thursday) although we can likely get additional donations to them a little later. 3) Arrange to meet with me. I will pro

the information hsa been on FOX news now, so it is public. I am looking for a link to the story.

If folks that don't have paypal accounts set up would like to meet me to donate, I am meeting someone at Roses store on Wednesday evening. I will try to set up a drop off point also for anyone who wishes to donate.

anyone else wish to help via paypal or gift cards? Greeting cards actually might also be nice....perhaps folks would want to send cards? If so, PM me and I'll give you an address to mail them to.

not yet because from my understanding the authorities are trying to locate those involved

If others would like to paypal money for this family you can use crittyL@yahoo.com and mark it for RR accident. You might also want to note your p.com name so I'll know who you are. I can also pick up money or gift cards if we can work out a meeting place. If you wish your money to be donated as a gift card or parking pass rather than cash, please let me know that. If you have questions, feel free to PM me.

You could meet me at my work (I was asking LIterally Blessed since she was going to be down here at Howell Mill--she's a Lisa also, but if you can go, that'd be great)...I can PM you with directions....???

replied Lisa: Would you want to meet me here at work and go to Grady with me?

It works for me, but you have to have the forum turned ON.

Please see this thread if you are interested in helping this family: http://www.paulding.com/forum/index.php?ac...193508&st=0

I checked into some info. It seems that MCDonald's is the closest food option other than small vendors that don't do gift cards. I am told that Grady has a discounted parking pass for long term stays. I will get this info to the family. We obviously don't want several folks to go out buying a pass that expires next week. If folks would like to contribute money to buy a pass or gift cards, I can collect this via paypal or meet folks in a central location to pick up donations. I can also collect MCDonald's cards (if you prefer not to donate cash/paypal) for the family. I k

I could collect the money and buy cards for places in the area, or I could find out what is near Grady (as our clergy go there regularly) and post it so that y'all can buy them at your leisure. I can either take them or have them taken to the family at Grady (as I am only about 3 miles away) is Weesa can let me know who they are.
