This child was a news item sometime between Aug. 1988 and March 2002. I didn’t catch the correct spelling of her last name and having issues of my own didn’t write down the date. At least now there is the “Amber Alert” when a child comes up missing, and they’re starting to crack down on these people.
Vain inquisitions in an idealistic world
where people in the public eye
use vulgarity and lie
our children are hunted like animals
stalked and killed
abused physically, emotionally, and spiritually
by those they idolize
What good is giving charity
when their works create more pain
the cries of loving parents
are done in vain
eleven years old
mature beyond her years
mature in she didn’t give in to the
sleazy styles of the day
walking with confidence
only to be whisked away
Where have our values gone?
that such is greatly desired
the present judicial system
should be redesigned or retired.
