CORRECTIONSevelyna13a3 10:52 AMMar 30 2009 Parents shouldn't allow their kids to dress as hookers. _____________________ Thank you. Today's women's movement teachs young impressionable girls that they can dress and do what they want, with NO consequences, as this is their RIGHT. Problem is, they forget to mention that if you dress like a hooker, you're likely to be treated like one- but then it's the man's fault. Come on woman, it's simple. Dress as you want to be treated. I guarantee you the crime rate would go down. But I quess that would be too hard for SOME women, as it takes away your RIGHT to dress like a wh0re. Some times a little give-and-take is in order people.

If the age of consent were lower, like say 16, or the age at which a person were charged and registered were 21, alot less money would be wasted watching people that don't need to be watched, and the money could then go to watching the REAL predators, not the 19 year old having sex with the 15 year old! The laws are too strict in some areas and too weak in others. I know this better than anyone, as I am a sex offender.

Another child goes missing due to a lack of true supervision. I guess some people will never learn.

The mexicans are doing a lot of kidnapping for money. I was told by people who live there that the drugs do not matter as the economy is so bad they do anything they can to make money. Kidnapping is easier than dealing drugs-as is the buying and selling of human cargo for a price. Thanks for protecting our borders usa. The government now has the audacity to blame us for the consumption of drugs-most of which come from the dominican republic and the sale of guns most of which are coming from arab, russian and asian countries. That is just an excuse for the taxpayer to pay out more welfare.

Tompsheridant1,I couldn't agree with you more.BudMax77 Makes a good point.People assume that this child was taken by a certain "kind of criminal", what ever happened to awaitng the evidence. What if the police assume this and in the mean time the child is somewhere else and valuable time is ticking away?I can't understand how the majority of people have this idealism that sexual abuse is somehow any worse than physical abuse (a child beaten badly and recieves no care), a child mentally abused or a child who is murdered. Is there any less chance that your children may be at someones house that has been charged with aggrivated battery on a child. Perhaps on multible accounts? The fact of the matter is the media has been manipulating society ever since writing was created. Then came radio, TV and now internet.Shouldn't we "ALL" be praying and "HOPING" that this child is returned safe and unharmed instead of "ASSUMIMNG" the worst.

BudMax77 01:52 PMMar 29 2009 How about bringing to light all the innocent children that are daily being kidnapped all across the country by corrupted government agencies like CPS, and lying, money-hungry foster parents that make a business of stealing children from totally innocent unsuspecting parents that are falsely accused?Seek the "Rachel's Tears Ministry" for further information on this.............hmmmmm with a name like "BudMax77" I already have an idea about you without you opening your mouth. Once the mouth is open I know way too much about you. "make a business of stealing children"??? I happen to be one of those foster parents, although I look at it differently. I was a foster parent to one child, adopted her and despite all the trama she suffered the first couple of years of her life, she is soon to be graduated from school and has a chance at life. Her mother had an estimated 6 children, all with different fathers and has custody of none. The system isn't pe...
