Perhaps I was agreeing with the last sentence...Um... er.... According to the dictionary, you are failing:
NEMESIS
[nem-uh-sis]

2.
an opponent or rival whom a person cannot best or overcome.
ETA: Or... Are you agreeing that I am just nosey?
Do you EVER want to get off the couch or have you become accustomed to the alienation and solitude?
Jump through what hoops though? Get a job? Live with an old guy? I don't see massive amounts of success, rather, what would be considered the bare minimum. Where was the child going to sleep? Would he have his own room? Two residences require two sets of clothes, toys, food etc.
I agree he is a little old for her......I cannot say what I really feel or think as I do not want a time out. I can definitely see it as he thinks she owes him after all he has helped her with.
My ego keeps me warm at night, goes for walks with me, holds my hand when I'm down, and is always there without question. I never feel alone!
Perhaps just getting a home where she could provide stable housing was a requirement? I would guarantee that one requirement was that the child had a seperate room. She obviously doesn't have much education, so her options were limited. I cannot imagine her making much money serving where she worked, especially if she worked the day shift. Alberta has laid off thousands of workers and the job situation is grim for many. With limited education and experience, jusy holding down a job like she did, would have been proof of some stability. It is reported that she never missed a shift and was a good employee. That is important - It shows that she has created stability in her life. I have no doubt that CFS made her jump through MANY hoops. As I stated, it is not easy to get them to agree to unsupervised access after having being supervised. She would have to possibly submit to random drug and alcohol testing, have letters of support, proof of employment for a long period of time, recommendations from the specific CFS worker, and a host of other conditions. I have a hard time believing that she went through all of that, and then bailed right before she was to be rewarded with the custody she sought.
Indeed. The Fifth Estate piece detailed this, spoke to some of the girls, and highlighted many of the efforts of every day people trying to rescue them. It's quite shocking to think it's right outside your door.
"Self Sabotaging" was a great angle brought up by Krystine... and an all too common one...
Good info!
The type... perhaps... but the timing of the custody hearing is so very hard to ignore... be it running from it, or being kept from it.
Given that both JRN and Shannon Burgess have connections to Model Mayhem, a known site for HT, I wonder.... Both women have been singled out by LE for public help, and I suspect, both cases are now being handled by Major Crimes, the unit that would deal with HT cases. The lack of publicity for the countless other women has me concerned... Why were these cases singled out and what aren't they telling us?
It is, but stranger things have happened. Unfortunately, the area in which JRN went missing is the worst area for prostitution, sexual assaults and lately, abductions. *If* she wandered out after being dropped off, or went out with an acquaintance that evening, there is infinite possibilities as to the reason she disappeared. That is why I wish that family and friends would make the details public, as to the last time they saw her, what she said and how she acted.
That would break the nothing negative, pity party and saint making only rules though.
