May Update

If you follow this blog, you can tell I haven’t been active for a while.  The reason is that Sheriff Singleton has told me that Alec’s case and information I compiled is being sent with a couple of his investigators to a course in FL.  This is supposed to happen in June.  This is one of those situations where the class will review the file itself as I am being told.  I would like to hope that this is that final step where all can be disclosed on here as promised earlier.  I am being very cautious to not compromise any investigation activities, possible to our detriment, but time is all I have and the truth is the truth and doesn’t change.

There are always consequences to actions or in-action.  Time has a way of forming a perception in peoples minds based on what has been put forth.  It is like anywhere, the first one to tell their version gets the momentum.  As we can see in politics, if you put forth a lie it gets traction and people will believe it even if it is retracted later.  Sometimes people just choose to believe what lines up with what they want to believe.

There are real issues that should be dealt with.

• One of these is teaching our kids that they place their lives in the hands of the people they associate with.    If you are not that confident of the people you are with you need to understand the true risk.  To Alec, it was his life.  Don’t settle.
• Do not assume that people will do their jobs as you think they will.  We project.  We tend to think people think like we do, this is why our government struggles with terrorism, because everyone doesn’t see the world the way you do.  People in roles throughout our government must be held accountable, else they will just do what they want.
• Based on this, we need clarify if not change the law to clearly define that if you are allowing behavior that puts minors at risk, you will be held to account.   If you read the laws you will think this is already on the books, but as documented on this site that is not always the case.
• Time does not heal all wounds.   If you were to lose an arm, the arm does not regrow.  If you are punctured and debris remains it can grow till septic.  Something good must come ……, it must…..    This is what I hold on to.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Edmund Burke

I think we have an aversion to calling evil evil anymore.  How about we use the word wrong?   If we do nothing when faced with what we know to be wrong then what have we become?
