the war is just a part of what the military does. we aren't only in iraq, that is just what has everyone's attention at this time.

didn't say anything about the iraq war i agree, we shouldn't be there. however, nerd addressed the military in general. my brother served for 24 years in special forces to keep this country safe and to give us our freedoms, one which includes freedom of speech. i think it was very rude of nerd to make a blanket statement such as that.

well you should be glad nerd that there are those, as you put it, that were suckered in so you have the right to say what you want no matter how assinine it is.

susyQ - i understand your dilemma, and feel bad for what you went thru. and i agree with what you say. however, when this happens people want to blame those that have lost their homes period. i know some very good people who lost their homes when mead and quaker oats shut down.

risk and responsibility
what you say may be true, but what about those who had no choice, that lost their jobs because companies shut down. this town has lost quite a few good paying jobs, and those people that had the financial obligation of a house payment, had no choice in the matter. if i lost my job right now and couldn't find another that pays at least close to the same, i would also lose my house. i don't live beyond my means.

i can compare the two cases, what you have stated is not true, but you can believe what you want. there is no difference. the only prior abuse, was with kerns and the case in 2000. there was no history of violence between heather and chris, not history of violence with kerns and his own child, never touched caden in front of us, in fact just the opposite. the case was over when heather had caden, and chris was never mentioned. but we aren't talking about my daughter, or kerns. what we are talking about is neither of them will be on any list stating they have abused a child, so they can do it over and over again until something tragic happens like it did in both cases. our system has to change, DFS has no business investigating anything, that should be left to professionals, the police. and they should be allowed the same access to records dfs is allowed. if so, my grandson may still be alive.

that last comment was to fanofsports.

no, now you sound like joyce estes who is a counselor. they had to commit some type of violence before. tried to make my daughter say that kerns hit her, he never did, however he did abuse another child in 2000 which dfs let drop. so do they have monster written on their forehead?
On Blinde acquitted of assault
to ava's family, i am so so sorry. believe me i know how you feel. there has been no justice for any child in this county. blame the prosecutors office, not the jury. they can only decide on what evidnce they are presented. your family is like ours now, the person that hurt your precious baby will not be on any list for abuse or anything else, so when they do this again, no one will know they have done it before. it's horrid. at least in our case they can look his name up on casenet and see that kerns was convicted of a felony, in your case it will be wiped from the system. if dwight objected to evidence that was allowed in or something along those lines, they can appeal. blinde should have been charged with a second count of child abuse just as kerns should have been. when the prosecutor only has headlines to get and a point to prove, this is what happens. kerns just recently began his prison sentence. there is no justice for children in this county. something needs to change.

My guess is that none of you have a child or sibling who is mentally challenged. If you did, then maybe you would understand why this hits a nerve. Don't be so quick to dismiss their concerns.
