In (what passes for) the minds of such creatures, any act of ordinary human decency by these wretched creatures equates to them being "heroes." While I will admit that an act of human decency coming from one of these monsters is rare enough to make us sit up and take notice, the idea that such acts make them "heroes," or even decent human beings is laughable. If they were truly decent human beings, they would be demonstrating their commitment to the Rule of Law and the protection of our rights and property by taking clearly visible and public steps to purge their ranks of the criminal scum that clearly are the majority power among them. Needless to say, there is a better chance of the sun rising in the West tomorrow than of that ever happening.<br /><br />At any rate, anontroll and its pals who regularly scribble their juvenile graffiti on this blog are here for the attention. The best way to react to them is to just ignore them.liberranterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-54129168701717923062011-03-30T11:42:44.036-04:002011-03-30T11:42:44.036-04:00anon, I am glad to hear that a cop did something g...anon, I am glad to hear that a cop did something good. I would recommend starting your own blog. But when a cop does something good, should that excuse cops who lie and fabricate evidence to send innocent people to jail?

"I had to go after because there was just so much smoke downstairs." <br /><br />Police Officer Dana Dexter and a corrections officer were on their way home from working third shift in Concord when they came across the fire. The two worked to break the fall of Booker and her mother. <br /><br />"The fire was starting right under where they were standing," Dexter said. "When they were on the roof, the fire was actually under them." <br /><br />Dexter said he was told the family's dog, Billie, was still inside, but he couldn't get to it. He told firefighters about the dog and then recorded video on his cell phone of them carrying the dog out of the fire. <br /><br />"We're over at the neighbor's house, and my son is completely distraught," Booker said. "'My dog! My dog, Billie!' and they yelled to us, 'The dog is OK!' My son goes running out jumping up and down." <br /><br />The 10-year-old rescue dog was hiding in the only room that didn't burn. Booker said the dog is receiving some oxygen at a veterinarian. <br /><br />The Bookers said they plan to rebuild in Pembroke, but they are staying in a hotel for now. Booker said her mother is still in a hospital for observation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-70960368256275025592011-03-29T09:43:36.311-04:002011-03-29T09:43:36.311-04:00KC, DA's can use these "high profile&quo...KC, DA's can use these "high profile" cases to spring board them to richer pastures, look at Janet Reno. She prosecuted Bobby Fijnje in a McMartin like case. Frontline and PBS both did some great stories on this. In fact, Frontline's story was called "The Miami Method" http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/fuster/etc/miami.html<br /><br />To Anon,<br /><br />There are NO, repeat NO standards, educational or otherwise anywhere for DCS or CAC investigators. The requirements to get a job with DCS is a degree, preferably in Psyc or Social work. The requirement to get a job at CAC depends on which one you go to. In the Craft case, a high school diploma and a 5 day "class" was the minimum requirement.<br /><br />Now mix well, the ideology of some lovely fresh 22 yo with their emotional baggage (mommy was mean to me and I don't think is right) and ask them to use their "best" judgement when looking at a single mom with 4 kids who works the night shift at Wal Mart. You can see where this leads.<br /><br />The reality is this, in every other profession where someone's life is on the line we require extensive education, testing, on-going education, checks and double checks on training and the performance of that training... not so for DCS, who has almost Gestapo like powers, and CAC. We place in the hands of the unskilled and agenda ridden the power to destroy whole families with a single stroke of the pen. We blindly "trust" that they will use good judgement and are skilled professionals..

As soo a I read it, I thought of your blog and the Tonya Craft case. I am only hoping and praying that the CAC of this area is much much better than the ones in the Chattanooga/North GA area.<br /><br />http://www.tennessean.com/article/20110327/NEWS01/103270367/Some-DCS-staffers-lack-training-interview-child-abuse-victimsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-14782110590575761012011-03-28T15:49:30.613-04:002011-03-28T15:49:30.613-04:00Love this article as I've loved all of your wr...Love this article as I've loved all of your writings on this subject. However, there's an inconsistency in the funding for CAPTA, better known as the Mondale Act of 1974. I'd heard a while back there was no funding for the court cases from this act going back to 9/30/08 but hadn't ever done the research. It was actually quite easy and I foung the answer today. Check this, being sure to go all the way to the bottom, to the red information annotated after the original article: http://www.ncsc.org/services-and-experts/government-relations/child-welfare/capta-reauthorization.aspx<br /><br />One would have to ask. How can prosecutors and alleged therapists/examiners continue their thing and not put huge inroads into their local budgets? It appears as if for more than 2 years, there is no legal funding for these witch hunts. In fact, legislation to fund this program is on hold until the health care reform legislation is resolved. That brings up a whole new set of questions about the legality of these supposed investigations/trials/imprisonments.KC Sprayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090961846554719289noreply@blogger.com
