Huh??? :waitasec:

Where'd I say it was not real work???
I said a job might give him "purpose" ..
Why in the world would you even mention Marc Klaas???


BTW- Don't parse, snip and take ONLY what you want from my posts, thanks ..

I didn't. I quoted your entire post. You wrote "real job" bolded "job" and that implied that by making helping missing children his job, it was less than a job. I brought up Marc Klaas because if you think the work he does helping missing children is not a job, I beg to differ.
 
Thank you, your kind words are appreciated. Like others, I have also been very critical of the Anthony's. I still can't come to terms with many things they have done. I hope someday to have the understanding but they owe me nothing in way of an explanation.

We have a huge problem with children who go missing, either at the hands of their parents or strangers. It is easy to sit behind a key board & be critical of LE, family, media, lawyers..whatever. But you know what, it is also just as easy to be part of the solution. ALL of us need to ask ourselves, what am *I * doing to help? It has been said it takes a village, & it does, we are that village. Look out for other's children like you look out for your own. I will give you an example. Two wks ago I was in Walmart & a small non english speaking child was wondering around, crying, lost. I knelt down to her level, took her hand to let her feel safe since I couldnt communicate with her. Other's noticed & I asked someone to go get a store mgr to help locate someone who could speak Spanish so we could unite this child & mother. They were reunited in under 5 minutes. Today, I was again at Walmart. I was leaving the check out area & I notice an older lady standing outside the ladies room saying "come back little boy, come back in here." I then noticed a child, maybe 18 mo old toddling toward the out doors. He was righ in front of me. I asked the woman if he was with her, she said no, his mother was in the rest room & he just walked out. I took that little one by the hand & was leading him back to the ladies room when mama came running out. He had crawled under the door soon as she sat down to pee. So, if you see a child who looks lost, take the time to make sure they are reunited with their parents, no matter how much of a hurry you are in. Notice weirdo's around the bus stops, on the play grounds. Donate your time, money if you can, to children groups, search groups, whatever your passion might be. Just get involved. We have to let those who harm children know we are watching them & we will protect those children. If you abduct our child, we will search for them, no matter where, no matter how long. After we find them, we will keep the pressure on to hunt you down.

With so many missing, please, lets all ask ourselves how we can be part of the solution.

Great post, LeLe1953. This is exactly what needs to happen in society. People need to start watching out for each other. It's amazing to me how many people will walk past a child in a store that is alone and crying and obviously not with a parent. When at the park, I not only watch my daughter like a hawk but I also keep a watchful eye on everyone else. Sometimes all it takes to disrupt an abduction is to just draw attention to them. If you are not in a position to physically stop them, do something to draw attention to them. Be a good witness, pay attention to details like appearance, clothing, vehicle description, license plate, direction of travel, notify 911 immediately. In other words, if everyone would watch out for everyone, the world would be a much better and safer place.

:blowkiss: yes it would ECS!

K .. Peace .. :blushing:

1.Marc Klaas does have a real job ..
He helps find missing children, I didn't mean to imply otherwise ..

2. George doesn't have a job (real or otherwise) and hasn't been steadily employed in over 10 years, according to the family ..

3.George is still in heavy denial, his "help" and kooky ideas about nanny's and kidnapping are not what the Cumming's family needs ..

I guess that's what I was trying to say about George ..
 
Anything done with good intention cannot be a bad thing. I think George will be the only Anthony to truly become a better person because of the he** he has been through.
I think he is sincere in his hope to help others with missing children and I applaud him.

I agree!
 
:blowkiss: ITA. Good for George. Is he suddenly well? Probably not, I think depression is a long road. The important thing is he reached out for help, said he could nto battle this alone & accepted help.
I would imagine, esp as a man, George felt pretty guilty about not protecting Caylee, although I don't think anyone could have protected her. I imagine he has felt pretty helpless. Not only does this give George a purpose, which helps him heal, he is also able to talk to the family & understand in a way none of us ever want to. Let's not pick George apart, let's pray for him, for Haleigh & for her family.
Thank you George, may God Bless you.

:clap::clap::clap: I agree
 
Comparing someone of the stature and integrity of Mark Klass with any of the Anthonys makes me really cranky.

Sounds like GA has a promoter telling him where he's best positioned to kick off his new career in the limelight. Snort. I guess most people are falling for this hook line and sinker. I've got to stop reading about this case, it's giving me agita.
 
Who are we to decide if GA is 'ready' to help find a missing child? Many good people have joined or even started foundations to find the missing because they lost someone dear to them and they want to help others who find themselves in the same situation. I suppose for some it has been a way to say thank you to those who helped them and for others it was a way of dealing with their grief. If they had all waited until a bunch of anonymous web posters felt they were ready, none of the great groups we have today would have ever been created. If GA can find it in his already broken heart to help another family who is going through this then we should all appreciate the effort.

Tichad3 said "I think he needs to figure out what actually happened in his own family, especially to Caylee, before he 'helps' out people of REAL missing children."

I am not sure why this post upset me so much but suspect it is because I read it to say Caylee was not a REAL missing person. She was a missing person up to the day they found her remains and she was a flesh and blood human being, so what disqualifies her from being REAL?

ETA: I'm not trying to pick on anyone or start a fight here. Just super sensitive today
 
He's not ..

I mean the guy tried to kill himself a couple of weeks ago and now thinks he's going to be helpful on another case???

Still in denial, I see ..

Yes, he was in a very dark state of despair...but I think there have there have been many positive things for George in these last weeks.

He's gotten the professional care and support he has needed for a long time. He's had to come to terms with his feelings of grief and hopelessness and obviously is learning to cope with them in ways that are healing.

Caylee's memorial was finally held. I'm sure this in itself has brought him a tremendous measure of relief and peace.

I see it as a sign of good progress that he is compelled to give of himself and support others as they go through the horrible pain he knows so well. God bless him and more power to him!

IRD I believe he has realized this is a way to honor Caylee and he is right.What purpose would it serve to stay under the covers and be consumed by his grief.By helping to bring attention to this little girl and helping the family what a terrific thing to do. After all both John Walsh and Tim Miller and many others have done the same and help everyones children.What a beautifull way for their loved ones to live on. I wish when my loved one was murdered I had reached out to others.

ITA Bravo for saying it.She was missing only her killer knew were she was.
 
According to First Coast News, GA has made the journey to Putnam County to support the family of Haleigh Cummings.
respectfully snipped
I am so glad to read this. I think George has a lot more to offer than most give him credit for. I think a sense of purpose and distance from the Orlando circus will do him a world of good. And it may well do the Cummings family a world of good, too. If nothing else, he can share his experience with the poor distraught father.
 
I think GA needs a purpose in life and helping other families may be it. At least I hope so. Good for him.

Thank you. If you cant physically stop an abduction, YELL to the top of your lungs STOP THAT IS NOT YOUR CHILD & keep yelling it. When my children were little they were taught if anyone tried to take them to fall to the floor & scream STOP YOU ARE NOT MY MOM/DAD. I now teach that to my grand children.
 
Hmmm...you may want to pass that message along to Mark Klaas and the many other parents who have started foundations in memory of their children - that what they're doing is not "real" work.

George's situation may be very different in the sense that the abductor in his situation was his own daughter, but he knows grief, terror and hopelessness as well as any of those parents. If he can provide any support to any part of this case, it's a job well done.

:clap::clap::clap::clap:
