I'm not sure what to make of it I was sad for the kids and wanted to slap these people all at the same time.They had to go into another room and snort their pills before the interview(yes i know thats what they did,i'm an ex-junkie) and then they were the nicest people i have ever met.I could not wait to leave,they asked me if i would like to sit and i said no.I'm soirry if i sound stuck up..you shoulda seen the furniture.I knew this was going to be tough,but c'mon!I had to get this off my chest!!Thanks:)

It's really horrifying. Central PA where Mc Cain was hoping to win in the election still haunts me. Child molester after child molester in the police blotter, children half starved, pregnant 12 year olds, houses that anywhere else would be shunned and looked upon as ramshackle or haunted the order of the day. It's a dangerous world for children. You're lucky to be in the fray and have a chance to do something about it. I wrote one book about that and it's still not out of my system, so I'm working on another. I hope I can get them published and people won't just see the horror and the strangeness but will understand where it comes from and stop and think about the world they let their children and those of others live in. You're doing the work of whatever god you keep and it's hard, but thanks for doing it.
