Subject: [13Witches] Personal Matters (very long)
I am so raw about the Caylee Anthony case because of a situation concerning my grandchildren. I know we (the mods and I) discourage using the list as a "Dr. Drew", but I need to talk about this.
My daughter and her husband divorced 3 years ago because of his heavy drug use. The had shared custody of their children Alex and Hailey. Alex, now 7, didn't want to be at his dad's because he was always taking pills, smoking crack, shooting up (yes, around the kids) and was either high or sleeping; didn't take care of the kids, didn't feed them, etc. Alex called both his mother and me begging one of us to come get him and his sister Hailey, now 4, but James would not hear of it. The court wouldn't do anything about it--would not give Amber full custody.
2 years ago, my daughter's boyfriend got laid off, and couldn't find work, necessitatingmoving to Georgia where was a job waiting for him. Her ex petitioned for full custody since Amber was moving out of state, and got it. Amber had lost Hannah at 20 weeks gestation, and was already close to a breakdown. During this time, her ex would rarely let her talk to the kids. She would go to Jacksonville to see them after making plans with her ex, and he wouldn't be at home, and she could never find him. A year ago, her ex called her and told her he couldn't handle having both kids, begging her to come get Hailey, and she couldn't have been happier. She kept begging her ex to let her have Alex, but he wouldn't. In March of this year, Amber received a phone call from her ex's sister, saying Alex had been left alone in the house for 4 days, and a neighbor had contacted her. Tammy (the sister) went and got Alex and called the police, after finding out
that the ex was staying in a motel partying. The police went to the room, finding needles and heroin, and arrested him. Tammy, who has lupus, isn't physically capable of taking care of Alex, and asked Amber to come pick him up, which she did.
Well, James, the ex, contacted DCF (Department of Children and Families), and told them that Amber had kidnapped both children and taken them over state lines. DCF workers talked to Tammy, who told them that James had gone over the edge, telling them about many times that Alex had been dropped off at her house while James disappeared for days at a time, and was not fit to have them, and that she had called Amber to come get Alex.
In May, 4 police cars from Georgia and DCF workers from Jacksonville, FL pulled up in Amber and Tony's driveway, and took the children. They were put into foster care in Jacksonville by DCF, and were considering arresting Amber for kidnapping. Amber is allowed to visit them twice a month, and was let go from her job because of taking those Wednesday's off. Yesterday Amber received a letter from DCF saying a case had been opened against Hailey's foster mom (yes, they even separated the children) for abusing Hailey. Since this began, Amber's public defender nas not been in touch with her, while Amber has been leaving messages for her every day. When Amber tried to get some answers from the DCF worker yesterday, she was told "I can't really speak about that." What the eff? Hailey and Alex were removed from a loving mother's home and Hailey was ultimately was being beat by her foster parent?Amber is beside herself with worry. And their sperm
donor is released from his cell every weekend for visits with the kids, who don't want to see him. What the eff?
That is why I have such a problem with "the system." Meanwhile, kids are being abused and neglected, and nothing is done, but the good parents are shoved under the bus. I just don't get it. I am so disenchanted and beaten down right now.
Thanks for listening.

Lady Nightshayde,
I am so sorry for your situation. There is something very wrong with a country that does not protect its children. I pray that things will work out for your daughter and your grandchildren in the end.
BB,
Hawkshill

I do love Dandelion root, sadly where I live there isn't much around. I live
next to a gravel pit. It's so rocky not even the weeds will grow in my yard,
if you can call it that.

Re: Not Guilty? WTF?

My heart bleeds for Caylee.
And yes, the Criminal Justice System is flawed.
As in the O.J. case the State of Florida, like the Los Angeles Prosecutors, FAILED to convince 12 jurors, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Casey Anthony murdered poor little Caylee.
When the state has little but circumstantial evidence in a capital murder case they should just stay home or go surfing and forget it.
Benjamin Franklin once said something to the effect of "It is better to allow three guilty people to go free than to wrongly convict one innocent person.." DNA testing causes the release of wrongly convicted felons all too often, so we aren't doing any too well on that point!
I share Ben's perspective and I believe that the State has the ultimate burden to prove their case to the Judge and Jury.
With all of that said, time has proven that in spite of it's failures the American system has not yet been beaten by a better one.
Let's all light candles and say our Blessings for Caylee because this case is done and over!
It is just too sad that everyone on this planet can't just live by The Reed in all Things.....
Brightest Blessings,
Stormy )O(
Life is a journey,
enjoy the ride ~
just avoid kissing the trail!

Subject: [13Witches] Not Guilty? WTF?
My jaw is still on the floor where it dropped when they found Casey Anthony not guilty. This is exactly why I didn't go to work in the Criminal Justice system after college. It is FLAWED. Caylee, there was no justice for you after all.
The light of a hundred stars cannot equal the light of the Moon.
