The AJC has picked up the storyhttp://www.ajc.com/news/news/crime-law/fbi-accused-killer-missing-child-could-be-atlanta-/nfL4g/
I really adore you Nurse, but I know when you warn me about an article that I should heed the warning because it's going to be triggering to me. Thank you. I'm feeling really pissed and very sad at the moment, I guess heartbroken will be the right word I'm looking for.
This just makes me think of my case and wondering "What IF I didn't get a call from my old man's motor club that he heard word 2 kids were being abused by so and so's ex old lady". What if I didn't go over there with DCFS to look? They could be Relisha. But I got there in time, they are in foster care and Im not kidding you when I tell you that the 5 year old was listed as FERAL. So I guess i'm just everywhere between these 3 little girls (Relisha and my two). I know now how things operate from inside the system and I meant what I said a few posts back, I am quitting this job after I know for certain these girls won't be returned to bio mom. I can't do it, hats off to those that can - and I'm not even a social worker!
I'm getting off track and I do apologize. Can you tell I need to vent?
Anyway, Im going to go hug my chihuahua and the bottle of sedatives and then just sit back and read the wonderful heartfelt contributions each of you are making.
Message to all posters in this thread:
Whether you know it or not, whether you see it or not -YOU are making a difference. You are living for Relisha when you post about her. You are caring for her when you mention her name or wonder about her. You are loving her when you make maps, scour the internet for any leads, check newsites, post here - pm others asking if they know anything to give you more leads.. and that does not go unnoticed. You are ALL she has as strength right now, you are her voice and her energy. Keep posting, keep looking, keep talking about this little girl that Shamika wanted to slip through the cracks and disappear.
Shalom.
sorry guys i had a late Kid sports pick up. Yes i will find the chat link brbAstrokitty, you know how very much I respect you and what you bring to this site. At least I hope I have been clear in that opinion in the past on cases we have followed in common. I hope nurse is able to give you an answer about chat area soon. I know there was once a place for that completely outside of this site but I have not visited lately so I do hope it is still there.
I just wish there was something I could do to reach out to you and give you more than a cyberhuig right now but cyber hug is all I can offer til nursie gets back to you. She is such a good souls about giving those trigger warnings and I want her to know that I appreciate that bout her too.
Her hat is well-suited in that way. She is someone who is concerned for members well-being and tries to let us know when something triggery is coming. There are so may members who are here because of their personal experiences. I have met so many folks who are here because of something in their history that makes them passionate about witnessing and advocating for victims/victors/survivors and those who were not afforded the opportunity to be survivors.
Relisha baby girl, I am sorry I did not know about you until this all happened. So many of us are so sorry that we only knew of your plight, your need for us until you were already in teh wind and so at risk. We are here. We are going nowhere. We love you beautiful girl. We shall not give up.

The thing that really gets me is her look walking down the hallway of the hotel. She looks happy to be in a cozy place. She does not look worried or suspicious. I hate how that look had to change at some point and fear started taking over. Oh, how I wish it was really just a nice, comfortable hotel visit for her. I wish that for her so badly.
I'm not going to say anything except...no...your husband should do some research ASAP.
I'm not going to go any further into it either, mrsobrien, but it IS true. I know this firsthand. I saw it happening daily. The conversions, that is.
* So sorry................trying to catch up!
MOO
Shades of Shaniya Davis. That image is forever ingrained in my psyche.The thing that really gets me is her look walking down the hallway of the hotel. She looks happy to be in a cozy place.
