Quoting: Daughter of zionI bet anything people will continue to see her little figure in the window, as her ghost will probably continue to stay in that room not knowing where to go... |

I hope they saved the dogs from those people aswell, otherwise they are probably still locked up in that room the article mentioned. People like that don't deserve to be allowed children or animals, infact they desrve to be locked up in a jail cell and denied food for 2 weeks and just enough water to survive. |

Aparently the stepdad used to shout at Tiffany and order her to stay sat on a stool like a statue. When they were asked where Tiffany was, when she wasn't there, the mum said she was round her Nan's house. The punters thought she was better off there than in the pub so they left them to it, not knowing she was locked upstairs. |

Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal. ______________________ "When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.

A basic human instinct is to nurture ones own young, but is seems with some people this instinct simply is not there. I feel deep sympathy for all of the children in this world who go unloved and uncared for and it is a very difficult pill for me to swallow knowing there is no system in place anywhere that actually works to help kids like this. Placed in state care the child's life would most likely not improve. What it is going to take to turn this around is people who actually care doing something about it. I have seen my share of abused and neglected children, and it can be very dangerous to become involved because for one thing a person who would abuse a child has no other moral boundaries either, and more often than not will resent and openly hate you for trying to help. Last year I tried to help two such children, they were homeless and living out of a car with their drug addicted mother and here boyfriend, who severely physically abused the older of the two children. They showed up at my door begging for a place to stay ( I knew the young man from dating his mother many years ago), and the older of the two children, a four year old boy begged me for something to eat. My intellect told me make and excuse ,say you have to go on a trip, do anything, but don't let them inside the door, but my conscious told me to do what I could to help as my heart was broken.. I ended up suffering great financial loos as a result defending myself against false allegations made by the mother because she thought I was going to call CPS on her for allowing her boyfriend to beat the older child and for depriving the children of food as punishment for 'misbehavior', which was sometimes as innocent as asking 'when are we going to eat'?. The oldest of the children revealed to his father who was awarded custody after an investigation how the mother and her mother and step father had told him to lie to preempt what they thought were going to be allegations of abuse by me. I would never turn anyone into the CPS except under the most extreme conditions knowing their record, but the children are now safe with their father and his new wife, so I have to say it was worth it despite the suffering and trauma I endured. I have faith that the creator will repay me for my loss, but I must say I shy away from similar situations now and that is the most disturbing to me, that I will never feel again that I can simply help a child in need because it is the right thing to do because the system is so out of whack that it no longer functions or truly cares about the children themselves, it's all money now. In days past a parent neglecting or abusing a child would be called out on it by relatives and friends and even people they had never met, and people had the courage to speak up, but I can understand now their reluctance to become involved.It's like sticking your hand into a den of rattlesnakes. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason in my life because I obey my conscious and God uses me as a tool to achieve his intended goals, and though I have suffered hardships helping others in the end I always end up having the satisfaction of knowing my efforts did not go unnoticed by the creator and are rewarded in some way, and it seems some much needed good always comes out of it. Money is not as important as a child's welfare, i just have to keep telling myself that |
