Hi.

I'm thinking and hoping that all this stuff will end up getting more people in general, citizens, and groups, even neighborhoods, to wake up more on an overall level, and start taking more responsibility and accountability for any and all social and crime problems in their own little neighborhoods and groups ... even starting at home

I mentioned elsewhere something about if I knew my own kid was a terrorist/threat to everyone else I'd be the first to isolate and stop him/her, put her in jail, whatever ... and be heartbroken to do this ... what I didn't mention though, was if that fantasy were a reality, I'd also want to be right beside her ... I'm the Mom that birthed, loved, raised that child. Period.

But then, I don't ever really know for sure how I'd handle a situation like that unless faced with it ... if I felt my child to be "forever" totally lost to dark forces ... I don't think I'd could stand to sit there hoping for a re-awakening in the face of brick wall.

Good morning everyone

Karmen.
