Comments on: Empty Outrage: Suleman, Child Abuse & A Controversial Bill of Rights http://janedevin.com/2009/02/12/the-empty-outrage-of-child-abuse/ Mon, 07 Dec 2009 20:45:18 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Redneck Mommy http://janedevin.com/2009/02/12/the-empty-outrage-of-child-abuse/comment-page-1/#comment-11104 Redneck Mommy Thu, 19 Mar 2009 01:14:03 +0000 http://janedevin.com/?p=1790#comment-11104 Hi Jane. I found you through twitter after you and my friend were discussing the death of Natasha Richardson. (I'm @redneckmommy.) I can't thank you enough for writing about this. I was a victim of extreme violence by my parents hands growing up. Luckily I survived and have moved forward. Not all children, as your article proves, are so lucky. I recently adopted a little boy who was removed from the custody of his parents after being severely mistreated and abused and he will now endure the significant complications of being battered and tortured while his mother is free to walk around and make more babies and his father for some reason escaped conviction twice. He's up for trial again for crimes against my son this summer and let's hope the third time is the charm. I just felt I needed to thank you for taking the time to champion the voices of these children. The world needs more people like you who care. Hi Jane.

I still don't understand how the mother could have slept through such an event, but I'm sure she'd give anything now not to have done that. As for Creamer, I wish we had a swifter death penalty.

I was the one of the detectives that worked the case. It will be with me the rest of my life. I am not allowed to put my full name in this due to our policy, but I believe Haleigh's case should have had more media attention. It was horrific what happened to her. When it goes to trial I hope people get the full view of what was done to beautiful Haleigh. I dream of her every night. Please keep talking and being the voice of so many that can no longer be heard. Jane, Thank you so much for bringing Haleigh’s case to light for many people to see.

Sometimes the less I understand something the more I write about it, hoping to come to some terms. I don't think I'll ever understand child abuse, though.
