I can't think of a way to say this without it coming across as offensive...
In my experience, where I am... this likely wouldn't have happened.
Example: Elizabeth Smart and Destiny Norton.
Which one are you more familiar with?
So this is interesting to me, because here this family would not get much help. :banghead:
I wonder if the Sheriff knows him personally? Knows that he is a good guy who is just having a hard time?
Regardless of why... I am very thankful that this Sheriff and his Deputies pulled together.
I wish that my area was more willing to help people who are "less fortunate" than they are. :twocents:
I am from Fort Wayne and I can honestly say people up there are just like that. I am in Dallas/Fort Worth area now and although people here are very nice, I don't get the sense of community here that I did there. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE DFW. When my car would break down and leave me on the side of the road up there, I would have 5-10 cars stop and want to help. Here, I'm lucky if one person pulls over.
