Tribe Esquecido: The Forgotten Tribe
2007-07-17 03:50:00 Tribe Esquecido: The Forgotten Tribe I?m sure you are expecting me to write on about some Amazon tribe and what is happening to them, how loggers are destroying the forest, how hunters are killing their tribe. But this tribe isn?t so far away, and is much weaker then those in the Amazon. This tribe doesn?t have any weapons and this tribe has no defense against those who would seek to harm them. I am part of this tribe, a member from A-Z as are so many. I am also a member of a tribe that was created as a result of the weakness this tribe has. Together these two forgotten tribes make up our future and the future doesn?t look bright. For many years, tribe members have been taken off guard and gone missing. The elders seem to notice little, so many tribe members, so many things going on, it?s hard to notice. It is tradition that tribe members not go look for their friends until the moon has passed 3 times. After that, hunters are sent out to look for them for 6 moons. You may wonder; if...

"I walked into the room. He said the minibike was in the closet area," Todd says. "There was no minibike, and then I turned around and there was a gun in my face."For 18 months, Todd says he was held captive. He says he was raped "way over a hundred" times, and that he was beaten and tortured. "He would say, 'You're mine. I can do whatever I want with you, and you enjoy it, don't you?' And if I wouldn't answer, 'Yes, I enjoy it,' I'd get hit," Todd says.To prevent him from escaping, Todd says he was tied up and drugged with Valium and sleeping pills. "He'd wake me up abruptly and say, 'Call me dad now. I want you to call me dad now.' When I wouldn't call him dad, he'd hit me. He'd choke me until I passed out," he says.

Investigators have previously confirmed they were checking for potential connections between Devlin and at least four cases in Missouri, one in Illinois and one in Minnesota, cases that date to the late 1980s. Until his arrest in January, Devlin had no criminal record.Cases under investigation include those of: _Charles "Arlin" Henderson, then 11, who disappeared in 1991 while riding his bike on a rural road in Moscow Mills, about an hour's drive from St. Louis._Scott Allen Klee...

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
2007-04-10 02:39:00 ?National Child Abuse Prevention Month gives us an opportunity to highlight our longstanding commitment to working with our partners in preventing and treating child abuse.? Regina B. SchofieldAssistant Attorney GeneralOffice of Justice ProgramsThis is an important month to remember. Many kids are abused everyday, not just for strangers that abduct them but from family members or friends of the family. We must not turn our cheek, we must protect them. In 1989, the Blue Ribbon Campaign to Prevent Child Abuse had its early beginnings as a Virginia grandmother's tribute to her grandson who died as a result of abuse. She tied a blue ribbon to the antenna of her car as a way to remember him and to alert her community to the tragedy of child abuse. The Blue Ribbon Campaign has since expanded across the country, and many wear blue ribbons each April in memory of those who have died as a result of child abuse. In other communities, special fundraisers are held to support prevention activit...
Doing Our Part To Protect Our Future
2007-04-02 03:54:00 So, who here is watching the election? What do you think of the war in Iraq? How about all the nasty weather in the midwest?The election has gotten to its normal nasty bickering on both sides, which is nothing new. Bad weather is typical during the spring with cold and warm fronts hitting together. But what about protecting our future by fighting the war at home?So you are saying now, What war at home? Well the war at home is the kidnapping and abuse of our children from their own homes, sidewalks and with the aid of the internet. Over 100,000 children go missing each year. About 50% of them are family or family-friend abductions, but what are the other 50%. Well the others are non-family abductions and runaways. The scariest of ones is the non-family abductions. Now, not that runaways or family abductions arn't scary, the abduction of any child is a sad thing and should never happen. But with non-family abductions you normally have no clues, reasons, ideas if your child is save or... More About: Future , Part , Shawn Hornbeck

Today in their Sound-off editioral, as they call it, a reader made the following statement about Shawn Hornbeck :"No sympathy for ShawnRegarding the Shawn Hornbeck kidnapping, I'm in total agreement with Bill O'Reilly's analysis of this situation. That facts clearly indicate that Hornbeck had numerous opportunities to regain his freedom and could have left at any time. He also had multiple encounters with the police and still chose to remain loyal to Michael Devlin. Additionally, he served as an accomplice and accessory to the unlawful restraint of Ben Ownby while Devlin was at work."This was taken from this article: http://www.belleville.com/mld/belleville/ news/editorial/16974295.htmWords cannot begin to describe the utter distasteful, hateful and the most demonizing statements that this reader has made and this paper has put on their site.

Have you noticed that almost every other story involves missing kids and the abuse of children? Why all of a sudden is it so huge? Well i hate to be the bubble breaker, but its been this way for years and nobody has ever noticed or cared to pay attention. Well its time someone does. Every day another child is abused or kidnapped and some are even taken into sex rings and never seen again.The recent MO Mircale has broken the shield that we have all hid behind for so many years. It has shown us just what horrors our children are being put through and even with people right there, nobody notices. This cannot keep happening if we want our nation or world to survive the next generation. With Shawn Hornbeck home, there is a lot of work ahead.Shawn was a very active, sweet kid.

Prosecutor: Plea Deal Possible For Devlin
2007-03-07 00:53:00 Prosecutors from three Missouri counties and the federal government are considering an offer of a plea deal that would put kidnapping suspect Michael Devlin in prison for the rest of his life, Franklin County prosecutor Robert Parks said Tuesday.Parks spoke after Devlin pleaded not guilty during arraignment to charges of kidnapping and armed criminal action for the Jan. 8 abduction of 13-year-old Ben Ownby. It was Devlin's second not guilty plea on the same charges.

Dedicated to those still missing
2007-02-26 16:07:04 So many of our youth have been taken from us and many are still to be found. Its a sad place we live in today. Where "Human Trafficking" is common and boys/girls are kidnapped of the streets and put into sex rings here and around the world. Even with the many laws in place to protect kids today, its not enough, when as many as 200,000 children are still missing and more and more boys are being taken. Normally we think it just happens to girls, but increasingly its happening to boys more since the 80's. I want to dedicate this post to some of the missing boys that we are still looking for today with no answers:Johnny Gosch - Miss ing since September 5, 1982, Johnny Gosch was abducted while doing his Sunday morning paper route, for the Des Moines Register.

Will it ever stop?
2007-02-25 04:05:03 Not even a month after the miracle in MO, finding Shawn and Ben, we find another 13 year old boy was kidnapped at gun point but an unknown person. 13 year old Clay Moore from Florida was taken by gun point at his bus stop, in front of a dozen friends. People at the bus stop said he was "balling his eyes out" as the man forced the boy into the truck. In another miracle the boy was found hours later, having been bound, he escaped and went to a near by farm and called his parents.Its always good to see a happy ending but all of the kidnapping needs to be a wake up call for everyone. There seems to be a major increase in the kidnapping of young males in America. Ever yone needs to keep an eye open and watch whats happening.

Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby: Out of the Spotlight
2007-02-22 04:02:02 So how about some good news for a change? Well lets start with this:Much talk has occured about the MO kidnapping case, as it should. However, the spotlight on both Ben Ownby and Shaw n Hornbeck, for now, has stopped. This is a good thing for both boys, whom have been through so much already. They are trying to move on and we should let them. However, it seems unlikely that Devlin will spare them a trail and the spotlight will be back and the pain they suffered will become public knowledge. In some ways, the way in which they were taken is important to protect other kids.What happen during their captivity is probably more then most can handle, but Shawn has already stated he will write a book and will testify if he has to. Now many ask what went through Shawns mind when Ben showed up? Its hard to say, we dont know if Shawn was part of or at least there during Bens abduction. What we can say is when Ben was taken back to Devlins apartment Shawn must have gone into a mental anguish tha... More About: Spot , Beck , Light , Spotlight
Yes, Shawn Hornbeck is Resilient
2007-02-16 21:56:03 I found an article on blogcritics.org written by Lisa Albers. I am going to quote this article as it was a greatly written piece by Lisa.Quoted Directly from blogcritics.org: "His face is everywhere: front page of the dailies, the cover of Newsweek, next to Oprah on national television. Although 15 now, he?s still a sweet-faced boy with curly dark hair and wide eyes. He looks relieved, tired?but normal. Maybe even resilient. Yes, there is a resiliency in Shaw n, and this quality has prompted the questions. How could this capable-looking 15-year-old remain with his captor without telling the police or another adult close to him that he?d been kidnapped? Why didn?t he give them some indication of his?and Ben?s?plight?Judging by the letters to the editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch or reader comments on websites, many people are deeply enraged by these questions.

Health Alert: Why Salt Is Going "Down The Drain"

Our national "salt tooth" is so bad that the American Medical Association recently asked the FDA to remove sodium from its list of food additives generally recognized as safe. " (health.msn.com)"The most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that healthy adults get no more than 2,300 mg of sodium a day, the amount in about a teaspoon of salt.

Why Don't We Care?
2007-02-13 09:52:01 Why is it that most people today just don't care? You are asking, care about what? And that is exactly the point! What do they care about? I go back to the recent case of the kidnapped boys from MO, Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby. So many times when Shawn was out and playing with friends, people thought he looked like the missing kids but did nothing cause they didn't want to get involved. Or even worse were the neighbors that heard quote "whimpering, pleading and screaming" coming from Shawn and did nothing! Didn't call the police or go over there to see what was going on.Our society is really in a dark place right now. We aren't even willing to help others. And we watch as our kids are being abused and abducted and we still sit around.

It has been a miracle that has spread hope to many other families, whom still have missing children.

But what factor has left a sour note in this story? The O'Reilly Fact or! Here are the comments that have caused all the fuss:"The situation here for this kid looks to me to be a lot more fun than what he had under his old parents," said O'Reilly. "He didn't have to go to school. He could run around, do whatever he wanted.""I don't believe this kid [liked school]. And I think when it all comes down, what's going to happen is, there was an element here that this kid liked about his circumstance.""I hope [Shawn] did not make a conscious decision to accept his captivity because Devlin made things easy for hi...
