A letter

Here is a letter I wish I can mail to someone who will listen and do something.

Dear HERO,

How many man are setting in prison that don't need to be there?

How many life can you make better?

We need to listen to the victims. There are times when they are not telling the truth. 

We need to make girl/woman  countable for their action.Some woman are saying rape just to hurt someone.

I have now met 10 men who need a second chance for one or two reasons. They have learned their lesson or was wrongly accrues. We don't have that many bad people in Arkansas but the PA and judges are too scared to let these men walk free. If anyone with common sense can tell these men should have their life back.

Some are getting help. Which is what they need in the first place instead of prison or probation. Anyone who is on drugs or who has an alcohol problem get help as a first time offense. Think of the money the state could save if you let these men and other like them have a second chance. Get them off the list. They didn't hurt anyone before nor will they ever. Let them have a family. Let them walk around with their head held high. Be proud of themselves  

Stop the shame that is brought on to their family and loves ones.

As a mother, it does me no good to know who is on the list. It does not work. What can I learn from looking at the list? Nothing but put fear in me. Making a man live so many feet away from a school or park is not going to stop the bad guy,  what it does do is keep the good guys who shouldn't  be on the list from taking their own child to the park or watch their child play in a game. It is ruining life.

So please look at the men and woman who are on the list.
Let them go free.

Become a part of society.
Let them show there face in public.

As a mother to one of these men, I wish there was someone who could tell me everything is going to be ok. I don't know if you are the one who can make that happen but I am running out of hope for the life I have always dream for my son.
Thank you for reading my letter, that mean a lot to me.
Sincerely,
a mother with a broken heart.

Yup, I 'm going there.

Don't hate me for what I am about to say, Please open you mind up to what you are about to read.

First, I want to say my heart goes out to anyone who loses a child.  That has to be the most worst thing that can happen to a parent.

There has been a lot on the news lately about kids going missing. I am not sure how we can stop the perverts from doing this. I really don't. If someone harm a child they should be locked up for life, But they also need help, the more I read about pervert, Not sure they can ever get enough help.

I have also been reading about kids who died from accidents,  An Aunt keeping her
2 1/2-year-old nephew, he had just learn how to open doors, She think he is safe in the house, when they finally discover he is missing. When they find him later he has drown in a lake. The Aunt was arrested and charged Tuesday with second-degree endangering the welfare of a child. REALLY.. it was an Accident. These thing happen. Yes my heart goes out to the family, but you don't need to Arrest the Aunt.

What is going on in the Nation? A very long time ago.. Cave man days. They would have lots of kids,, just to hope that ONE would make it. I am sure they were sad when they lost one, but they knew and understood "thing like this happen" You get on with you life,, you try to make thing better. And we have. There isn't anything more that Aunt could of done. Oh, but you said she should of been watching him better. Do you want her to stand over him 24/7 ?  Come on, we all know you can't do that. How about the 18 month old who just died? Should we arrest the parents for having a child who could  died? OH but that sound crazy. Well to me its the same thing.

Like I said you may or may not agree with me. But we have gone to far. This is American, People come here to have more freedom. But what we are doing is taken  away freedom from way too many People.

That my spot

Joe the SO
 Read this first so this part will make sense.

I send my son pages from a blog called JOE.. My son readed this one the other day and then wrote me this part:

"They do the same thing here, but with the Benches. People will put head phones, cups, a pillow on a seat then leave it there. Sometimes without sitting there for hours. It's worse on weekends when they play movies. 3-6 spots will be "saved" for the whole movie. Now, I can see leaving something, headphones/ a cup if your going to the bathroom, but i hate it when it's there 24/7.

Items used to save spots: cups, clothes, pillow, headphone, very expensive $25.00 radio with expensive headphones.

How they don't just get stolen, I have no idea. The best part; I'll be watching TV, and someone will ask if I saw anyone take a cup that was near by. happen at least once a day. Fully agree with the "Twilight Zone" bit.

Breathe

Breathe,, take a big breath, and just breathe. Your son is worth every minutes and every hour you put in to help him and others like him. Just Breath!! It will be worth it,, Trust me.

 So this is what is going on,  I have been working on getting all the email, phone numbers, info on every Arkansas Representatives and Senators on our new web page. http://arkansastimeaftertime.org/   Plus I might, I have not heard yet,  will be doing some work with http://sosen.org/,    Now I just signed up with http://cfcamerica.org/   I told them I was willing do what I can. And they took me up on it. LOL  
Am I crazy?  No? Yes?  A mother has to do what  mother has to do. It is going to take more then one group to stop these law and to make changes. I want to be there when it happen. So if this is what I have to do, then I will do it. If I don't do anything and if no one did anything.. well then nothing will be done.

 I do miss the normal days. When I had no worries. But this is the new normal.  It is real hard to get up in the morning and face the day, knowing it was not a dream. Knowing that your son is in a place he shouldn't be in. Knowing that today you need to do something to make his life better once he gets out. To not have to face the new HELL that awaits him. It is so hard to get up and do all of that, to think of that everyday.  I have to grab on to anything that will put a smile on my face or make me laugh. Those are very rare these days. And to anyone who knows me, Know that I love to laugh, to smile, to have a fun time.  I miss my son. he could make me smile and laugh. He would pick on me by telling me how many rolls of Toilet paper I had in the house. If you were to take them and un-roll them how long it would be.  I miss that.  I have never lost anyone real close to me. And I hope I don't for a very long time. The pain that I feel has to be real close to losing someone. Or at least I can understand that a Pain you feel is not like any other  pain. It hurts,, deep down. 

I am not mad at my son. I am more mad at the People who make up these laws.

I just read this tonight. It said it best. : I did not write this.  It was in a newsletter I get from CfcAmerican. I just love the way Amanda wrote this. makes so much sense to me.

2:22 am. The kids are all in bed. The house is quiet. I just made a cup of stiff coffee in my Bodum coffee maker and I am sitting here relaxing. Soon it will be time to get up, I really should go to bed in the next hour or so.. as I need to get up at 5 am to get all the kids ready for school and drive them all where they need to be.

I was looking through some graphics I had downloaded so I could send a picture of our new snow to my friend in India when I came across this little depiction. I gave a little chuckle.. really not a funny haha type chuckle, but more of a cruel laugh, an eruption of contempt as I shook my head and found humor in the disgust of it all.

What has this nation of America become?  

I am told the Roman empire fell due to the greed of the people and that our civilization is going the same way. This makes me want to study Rome and the Fall of the Roman Empire. I can see our nation in comparison to Rome in that our people are steeping themselves in the glory of all their bodily lusts... insuring the satiation of all desires to the fullest... no matter if our their New Rome, Amerika burns down from corruption, deceit and injustice around them.

How true the little comic. How childlike the statement, Dad, I am considering a career in organized crime... and the father, in his wisdom responds questioningly.. Government or Private Sector?

But you know, there is an error in that question... 

Those who make up the government are organized crime. Think about it. Citizens slime their way into being politicians, who go off to Washington to vote on bills which if passed, will allow for citizens to be forced to give up their tax dollars to support laws which force companies to purchase the products which the Politicians who got the laws passed, have invested in via the Stock Market... Organized Crime Within the Government.

Here is a theoretical situation.. Government concocts a law, say, the Adam Walsh Act... within it's confines, buried down deep.. is a little one liner, GPS MONITORING FOR ALL UNDER THIS NEW LAW. Now, the politicians who drew up this law know of a company who produce and service GPS monitoring devices... so, they tell the company they will take good care of them when the law passes.. insure their company gets a LOT of contracts for GPS tracking of parolees.. and nasty RSOs. So the politicians, and all who are involved in the new laws buy stock in the companies which will be servicing these new laws.. GPS, Privatized Prisons, Psychiatric Hospitals... the list long.. then the law passes..

All across the nation the politicians wine and dine all the states representatives, the media.. all their contacts to get them to implement the law.. and when they do.. PARTY TIME... Now is the time to start filling those contracts in all cities for all the products which the politicians have invested their hard earned, stolen tax dollars. 

It is a success.. all the states and cities are now purchasing their products.. they all are rich beyond their dreams... hell, they do not even need that huge pension and medical benefits the tax payers are giving them any more.. now, they can ride the Stock Market Boat.....

Yeah, the little cartoon is a twisted funny... but I must ask you, Is there really a difference between Organized Crime and Politics in Amerika?

Amanda K.

 I do hope you like what Amanda wrote. I sure did.

Not sure what this cartoon is talking about, , I can just see a Sex Offender trying to get off the list with his paper in his hand... So it not funny when you put it like that.

 

 

Mail Call from my son

I need to give my son a name;  I have alway like the name Clark so here he is..

So here is Clark:

For me and everyone else who is locked up, the most important part of the day is mail call, at least if you get mail. For me, My day revolves around mail call. I know its between 6:30 and 6:45 Monday thought Saturday. Starting around Noon, I do the count down in my head every time

I look at the clock.."1:45.. that, 5 hours until mail call"

"5:00! only an hour and a half to go!"

its kinda sad really that ,, that's the only thing to look forward to, but there not really even a second place. I feel bad for the ones who don't get mail. Because what do they have to look forward to? Not much.

I don't care if you write about your boring day, what crazy think the neighbor are doing, if you make up a story about what you would do if had a super power or even just what you bought at the grocery store. Well actually, don't mention food too much because it just makes me hungry and wish I had read food to eat.

One the rare day that I get 3+ letter, I feel like a kid on Christmas trying to decide which present to open first.

Mail here is almost hard to put into words, getting a letter from home or some one you know just brighter up an otherwise dark day, and it just another reminder that people do care about you.

This part he wrote to me. but thought I would share it with you anyway;
Saw the tail end of a fight in here earlier, was watching Die hard 3 when I turned to what everyone was staring at. Pulled out my head phones in time to see a guy take a mean punch to the jaw and fall. and the guy who punched him said "call me a Bitch, A$$ "N" again"  His words not mine, Couldn't really see the guy on the ground from my angle, but he didn't get up. Ended up having to get a guard and get the guy to the infirmary  to come get him because he "slipped in some water, and fell." busted his head open as there was quiet a bit of blood on the floor. Guard didn't see it of course. It should also be known that you don't ever call anyone a "bitch" in here. In fact, Don't even say it. One of the worst thing you can do.

Another part from Clark:
I swear if you went trough and sorted everyone here by how smart they are and got the first 90% of them starting form the idiots, you would have the collective brain power of a  lab rat, that's missing half its brain. So.. Many..Idiots.

 I hope you enjoy YOUR letter from Clark today. 

Also: this month is his Birthday, He will be 22 at the end of this month. As you now know he loves getting mail. So if you want to send him a card with a letter, Please let me know and I will give you his address,, but only if I know who you are. Let see how many Birthday cards we can send him this month.

some numbers to amaze you

 This was sent to me by a friend. So the "I" isn't me. Thought I would share this with you. Very interesting.

How many are there on the sex offender registry?

            I recently received a letter that deserves notice.  Mr. W. the writer, had pulled together statistical information from readily available published sources.  He concludes that:

·         1 out of every 354 people in the state of Arkansas is listed on the sex offender registry.  When calculated to include only adult males the ratio falls too 1 out of every 148.

·         By 2020, 1 out of every 59 adult males in Arkansas will be a registered sex offender.

His information was based on the following:

            2010 Total population based 2009 population (2,889,450) plus the increase from 2008-      2009 (34,060).  (Source, Article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, September 2010.)

            Total male population assumes 58.9% of the general population is male.  (Source, Article   in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, September 2010.)

            Adult population (age 15 and over) assumes 20.2% of the total population is under the      age of 15.  (Source, Time Almanac, 2008)

            2020 Projected Total Population based on growth rates from 2000 – 2010 and       extrapolated Source, Time Almanac 2008)

            2020 projected registered sex offender population based on current September 2010 total,            plus additional 2000 waiting for processing, plus an additional 100 added per month.  (Source Article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, September 2010.)

            Estimated percentage of registered sex offenders may be higher than 93%

            I researched my own figures and came up with the fact that Arkansas ranks 7^th in the per capita number of sex offenders per 100,000 population, The national average is 236.  In Arkansas we have 386 registered sex offenders for every 100,000 Arkansans.  We follow behind, Oregon with 612, Montana with 517, Michigan with 477, Vermont with 393, Wisconsin with 386, and North Dakota with 377.   The two states or territories with the lowest percentage of population on their sex offender registry are Pennsylvania with 87 and Puerto Rico with 76.  This information is according to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,http://www.missingkids.com/en_US/documents/sex-offender-map.pdf.  Of course these figures are per 100,000 population in total, if you drop it down to the 93% male guesstimate and limit that to men over 15 you will come up with similarly startling statistics.

            Most recent surveys state that the number of registered sex offenders in the U.S. is 739.853 (according to Carolyn Atwell-Davis, director of legislative affairs for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children).  With the number of men, women and children on the sex offender registries nationally nearing ¾ of a million we must begin to examine how these laws are affecting the millions of friends and family of registrants nationwide.

            I want to think Mr. Wadsworth for bringing this to our attention.  If any of you readers are interested in doing your own statistical research or if you can come up with the ratio of males to females listed on the Arkansas sex offender registry that would be greatly appreciated.

More Sex Offender Myths (Busted!):

From the U.S. Department for Justices’ Center of Sex Offender Management, http://www.csom.org/pubs/mythsfacts.html

Myth:  "Most sexual assaults are committed by strangers."

Fact:  Most sexual assaults are committed by someone known to the victim or the victim's family, regardless of whether the victim is a child or an adult.

Myth:  "Most sex offenders reoffend."

Fact:   Reconviction data suggest that this is not the case. Further, re-offense rates vary among different types of sex offenders and are related to specific characteristics of the offender and the offense.

Myth:  "Sexual offense rates are higher than ever and continue to climb."

Fact:  Despite the increase in publicity about sexual crimes, the actual rate of reported sexual assault has decreased in recent years.

Myth:  "Youths do not commit sex offenses."

Fact:  Adolescents are responsible for a significant number of 1/3 of all rape and ½ of all child molestation cases each year. 

 Back to me now:

I hope you enjoy these number.. They will open your eyes!! 

 The next  blog will be from my son. He wrote to YOU again.
