Our terms of use agreement is very clear. Although your cause is to prevent child abuse, technically speaking your public account contained images of nude children.

Community supporting Family Traumatized by Murder

Posted by Sandra On October - 19 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

A community is offering an outpouring of support for a Durham family impacted by murder. Police have charged the father of the family, Joseph Mitchell, in the death of his 4-year-old son, Blake Mitchell, and for allegedly trying to kill his other two children last month. Blake’s father remains at Raleigh’s Central Prison for safekeeping after a suicide attempt. While investigators won’t talk motive, records show the family was suffering financially and their home was in foreclosure. Shocked by the brutal murder, residents in the family’s north Durham neighborhood are pulling together for what they call, “A Hug from Blake.”

CHICAGO — Sixteen-year-old Daniel Kovarbasich had the opportunity yesterday to reach millions of people and tell children to speak out if they become a victim of sexual abuse. Daniel, his parents, Terry and Donna, and brother, Gregory, were guests on “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” where Daniel described to Winfrey the details behind the slaying of 55-year-old Duane Hurley.

Terry Kovarbasich told Winfrey he remembered Jan. 22, the day his son killed Hurley, as a typical day when he dropped his son off at Hurley’s home. About a half-hour after dropping Daniel off, he got a call from Daniel, who was “freaking out,” he told Winfrey. He would soon find out Daniel hit Hurley in the head with a pickle jar and stabbed him repeatedly.

Two Teens Disappear After Getting in Car With Strange Men

Posted by Sandra On October - 19 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

The dusty strip of blacktop at the entrance of Pauline Rodriquez’s mobile home park in Pearsall has always been a barrier of sorts. Her two teenage daughters rarely ventured beyond it without letting their mother know where they were going and when they’d return home. When Rodriguez heard that both daughters — Joanna Arrisola, 14, and Felicia Martinez, 17 — had climbed into a plum-colored Pontiac and disappeared down the road with two men Saturday evening, she suspected something was terribly wrong. They’ve been missing ever since.

And they reported suspected abuse to the Department of Social Services. Now, police believe the missing Hickory girl whose story has captured worldwide attention is dead. They are investigating her disappearance as a homicide and last week jailed her stepmother, who they say admitted writing a phony ransom note.

Man Charged With Molesting Girl, Giving Her STD

EVANSVILLE, IN – I’m itching to start watching a movie so this may the last story from me to day and it is pretty sickening. Timothy D. Montgomery, 52, has been accused of not only molesting a 7-year-old little girl on multiple occasions, he also gave her an STD in the process. After it was discovered that the girl had contracted genital herpes she was taken to Holly’s House, a shelter where victims of intimate sex crimes are interviewed by authorities.

JonBenet Case Still Unsolved

Posted by Sandra On October - 16 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

JonBenet Ramsey was killed in December 1996.

Police Have New Questions for JonBenet Ramsey’s Brother

JonBenet Ramsey was killed nearly 14 years ago.

Police in Boulder, Colorado, want to talk to the older brother of JonBenet Ramsey, the 6-year-old girl slain at home on Christmas night 14 years ago, the Ramsey family’s attorney said. Supporters of the family call it harassment. The brother, Burke Ramsey, has no interest in once again answering questions he has answered for many investigators many times, said the attorney, Lin Wood, of Atlanta, Georgia. And yet the mere hint of activity in one of the nation’s most famous cold cases has headlines swirling.

So, what’s the story this time? Burke Ramsey was the 9-year-old brother of JonBenet who, by all accounts, slept soundly in his room that Christmas in 1996 while his sister’s skull was fractured and she was strangled elsewhere in the house.

Human Sex Trafficking

Posted by Sandra On October - 16 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

3,500 people are trafficked into the U.S. through I-10 in El Paso each year. Half of them are children! Many of them are forced into labor and sex trafficking. Back in 2005, the Department of Justice gave a small task force a grant to combat sex trafficking here in the borderland. That grant has since dried up, but the task force is doing what they can with what little they have. “It is so difficult to find the victims,” said Virginia McCrimmon. She is the point of contact for the victims of human trafficking. “They are very much afraid, the threats that are used as a means of control,” she said.
