I can totally relate to Amanda Harris's Blog #5 on the little boy named Julian that was found dead in a yard in Wells Branch. I live on Wells Branch and this is horrible, and shocking! There was signs posted up for a ceremony for the little boy on my street to meet at the pond and I had wondered why. Now I know it was because he was found in the community. This is so sad. Some people take their children for granted, when they are blessings!
I totally agree with Amanda. We will never understand why these kinds of things happen. Obviously, if CPS was involved most of the childs life, they should have been aware of the wherabouts of the child. Especially the mother. To have not seen her child in a whole month is what is crazy to me! I would have taken care of that quick. This child was obvioulsy neglected and was not taken care of. So sad.
It is hard to just not care, or ignore these kinds of stories on the media. You cant! Especially when it has to do with Victims and young victims." Children are innocent and it affects everyone in society when something tragic happens. The media makes you feel concerned. I am a young mother who knows what a good mother is capable of. It is very hard for us good mothers who truly know the meaning of being a mother to hear about a child being neglected,hurt or killed!
Unfortunately, I don't know how we can prevent these things from happening. Parenting classes would be nice for every parent to take. It is just one of those things we don't have control of. If CPS was involved and no one cares to make something happen there is no way to prevent these kinds of things. People just need to have more sense.
Amanda is right, being a parent is a privelege not a right. But sometimes with the system the other parents end up with no control with whats going on with their own child in the custody of the other parent. When you are dealing with Child custody issues sometimes things just aren't fair. These are just one of those holes in our system we need to work out and address.

"Metal Detectors Coming to State Capital."
In 30-45 days there will be metal detectors in the state capital. They will be placed at 4 entrances. There will also be an X-Ray machine to prevent any concealed weapons from coming into the capital. Public officials decided it was the best to protect the safety of everyone. This decision was made after Fausto Cardenas was caught firing several shots on the steps of the capital back in January. The governor was the only one that voted against the metal detctors...which I find a little odd and interesting.
With all that under effect The Constitution does say concealed handguns are allowed inside the capital. Anyone with a license to carry a handgun will have permission to carry their concealed handgun inside.

"Whip Me, Beat me, Call Me Conservative."
This blog was posted March 30, 2010.
By: Eileen Smith from In The Pink.
http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/inthepink/
The author Eileen writes an article on her reaction about the reimbursement that was paid for, for the republicans who went to a Bondage lesbian Sex club. They ran up a $2,000 tab and was reimbursed! Sounds like it was the idea of Eric Brown, a GOP Consultant, and Allison Meyers s director for a program.
The RNC(Republican National Commitee) says they had already told Allison Meyers "this activity was not eligible for reimbursement and had been previously counseled." Which is shocking to me because she was already explained this, and she wasn't fired? Obviously this republican didn't have any consequences for her actions if she felt she did not have to comply. This makes me wonder how could they be trusted?
Oh gosh, Eileen goes on to say that this bondage place is frequented by the Famous Lindsay Lohan, and Mickey Rourke constantly. I would never imagine our republican party in the same place as these celebrities who seem to always catch negative attention in the media!
Eileen Smith goes on to give more names of others who have had bad behavior such as John Edwards, Eliot spitzer, John Ensign, Mark Sanford, Eric Massa, and Mark Foley. She compares these people with the Republicans that attended the lesbian bondage club as all in the same category of "Desperate Young Democrats." I agree.
I am also just as disappointed in the values and morals of the republicans who attended the club.
