Trayvon Martain

And just when you thought you heard it all and things could not get any worse, along comes this kind of A case.

This 17 year old young man was visiting his girlfriend. He decided to walk to the local store and get A bag of Skittles for his little brother and A soda. While walking back to his girlfriends apt it rained A little harder so he stopped and stepped under an over hang till it slowed down some. He then decided to make A go of it, put his hood to his hoodie up and continued to walk towards the apartment. While walking back he was on the phone with his girlfriend telling her A guy is following him. She told him to just run and get back to the apartment. I do not know of one single person that has never walked with their hands in their pockets. I did not know that was against the law.

Listen to the 911 call from Zimmerman, first he says he is following A suspicious person. Calls Trayon A few racial slurs,http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2012/03/trayvon_martin_case_did_george.php He then tells the 911 operator that "the person is approaching him" and "he has his hands in his pockets/waist band. The 911 operator then asked Zimmerman if he is following the person and Zimmerman said "yes I am". Now which one was it Zimmerman, were you following him or was he walking towards you?

The 911 operator clearly told Zimmerman to not follow him, but Zimmerman took it upon himself to do as he sees fit. I still want to know how/why he is allowed to have A permit to carry A concealed weapon after he was arrested for assault on A police officer. And why was he allowed to be on the Neighborhood Crime Watchers with an assault charge on A police officer? And where does it say on the NCW sign does it say "all suspicious people will be shot on the spot"?

How can anyone say George Zimmerman kept Twin Lakes safe... Only one shooting death in the neighborhood and Zimmerman is responsible...

Under one of the laws in FL, Zimmerman had the right to defend himself. Defend himself from what?? A paper cut from the Skittles bag?

A petition has been started by Trayvon's family because Zimmerman as of yet has not been arrested for the murder. Here is the link if you would like to sign it.

This is A cold case from my home town. My aunt went school with Peggy. To this very day this has never been solved. Even with all the advancement in science this case is still cold.
Since this case went so cold so fast, everyone blamed everyone else for doing things wrong.
I just did research of all the articles I could find, which isn't many. But all you get is he said, she said. Everyone pointing fingers at someone else for either not following up on tips to calling it "shoddy" police work.
Peggy's family is still in town. her father owns A used car lot, in which her bother also works at.

If you have any info on this case please call the Lebanon City Police at 717-272-6611

Adam Walsh

                                            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Adam_Walsh

Adam John Walsh (November 14, 1974 – c. July 27, 1981) was a boy abducted from a Sears department store at the Hollywood Mall in Hollywood, Florida, on July 27, 1981, and later found murdered. Adam's death earned national publicity, and Adam's father, John Walsh, later became an advocate for victims of violent crime and the host of the television program America's Most Wanted. Convicted serial killer Ottis Toole confessed to the boy's murder but was never tried for the crime. Although no new evidence has come forth, on December 16, 2008, police announced that the Walsh case was now closed as they were satisfied that Toole was the murderer of Adam Walsh. Ottis Toole died of liver failure on September 15, 1996.

The Adam Walsh Story

   On July 27, 1981, 6-year-old Adam Walsh and his mother Revé went to a department store about a mile away from their home to shop for lamps. When they entered the store Adam saw several children playing video games on a television monitor and asked if he could stay to play. His mother let him stay and went to the lamp department, which was about 75 feet away. Because the lamp she wanted was not in stock she returned rather quickly, less than 10 minutes later, but couldn’t find Adam. After looking for Adam on her own for two hours, someone finally called the local police department. By the end of that week thousands of fliers with Adam’s photograph were distributed through the local area. Sixteen days after Adam disappeared from the store his body was found and identified.

As many of us already know. Some good has come out of this horrible story. Thanks to the Walsh family many kids have been saved by A program called Code Adam. When that code is set all doors close and lock. No one can get in or out of the store until that code is lifted.

America's Most Wanted

   Adams father, John took to the airways to help others so they do not have to suffer like they did. He started A show called AMW (Americas Most Wanted). To help catch criminals that law enforcement were unable to locate. He used the show as part of his therapy. There are no words to express the sorrow we as A nation feel when these kinds of things happen. But I will like to give A sincere thank to John and his wife for allowing people to hear his story and invite us into their lives when they were at their darkest moment.

Adam may have been A little boy when he went missing, but he now has the loudest voice in helping others from being abducted. You will never be forgotten Adam.

Skelton Boys Still Missing

http://articles.cnn.com/2011-02-01/justice/michigan.missing.boys_1_suicide-attempt-john-skelton-michigan?_s=PM:CRIME

This case was retweeted by A friend of mine on twitter.
As soon as I research for more info I will add to this blog.

I just found this article that once again the reason these boys to seem to be missing is because the father lost custody. http://www.northwestohio.com/news/story.aspx?id=663500#.T1O873m3_6g

I also found this article in which the dad claims the kids will only returned to him when he is released from jail. So why dont the police put that theory to the test. Put him on 24/7 house arrest for A few weeks to see if the boys get returned? http://www.wzzm13.com/news/story.aspx?storyid=170897

I am not defending this man in way, but he said he went to the police about the mother abusing the boys and the police say they have no records of it. I have read about many other cases where this has happened too. It seems some police depts dont want to take the time to file reports on minor things or on things that may take to much of their time. If the police dept didn't want to handle it they should have called CPS to look into it. That is what they are there for.

I am not saying in just this case but A lot of cases, if police depts and CPS would get involved maybe these children wouldn't end up missing, abused or murdered. There are always signs somewhere, In actions or words. I know that would be A huge under taking but the children are worth every second of someones time.

Most divorces are not cut and dry. Most have children involved. And the custody issues here of late have resulted in children being hurt or missing or even murdered.

As I have stated in other posts. I am A step mom of 2. And if we wanted to have the boys for something special on A weekend that was not our weekend we had to beg to have the boys. The control the parent that has custody of is nuts. You figure if A parent only has visitation every other weekend, that parent only sees their child/children 48 days out of A year and if you are lucky one week during the summer. That would drive A lot of parents nuts.

If you have any information about these boys please call your local police dept or 1-800-THE-LOST

HELP FIND THESE BOYS
