After reading this article it reminded of a conversation I had with a hotel clerk in Yakima this past summer. Her daughter worked at the jail. She told me they round up at least 100 mexicans a day put them on an airplane only used for the purpose of transporting illegals. A wk. later there arrested again and flow back to mexico. Using up that jet fuel isn't cool. Crimes committed by illegals tend to be more extreme as well as gangs in Yakima. This tells me all the crimes (drugs trafficking) need a heightened level of a task force team in our state. Mt. Vernon Wa., Bellingham area are having similar problems being a route to the border. Definate holes in the system with this crime.
I'v spent 3 days referencing as many social service programs, foundations, in GHC. One of the issues I'v been working on are programs for children found to be abused sexually and physically by a parent/parents. One of these programs is in Montessano and by the account of their mission status can really help children in their healing. This particular center is called, "Grays Harbor Center for Childrens Advocate." Their non for profit mission is to provide investigative and advocacy service to children when there is suspicion of abuse. "We support the children and the non offending family member as they navigate the justice system." There partners include LE, prosecutors/prosecution, medical, mental health professionals, child protection services, and court appointed advocats. In time A visitation program provides supervised visitation for children and the state will transport children all over Western Wa. to visit with their family member. This seems to point to people in the justice system like prosecutors, churches,medical field, teachers, psychologist to see the need for this shelter center and are doing their part. When someone arrives that needs critical counseling care the abused have a safe haven, along with help to navigate the judicial system. Was Lindsey in a family who would need this form of assitance? I don't know? Lindsey's not here! If this was an issue for Lindsey & a family member abusing she had far to many people around her for someone in a nurturing role not to have picked up a clue. Ten is an impressionable age of a little girl trying on different hats/personalities, learning different ways to cope with insecure feelings and fears. Mother Nature may have played a roll in Lindsey's reported "drama" but that also tells me along with other aaccounts that Lindsey was vocal to others on paper & to friends. Who in McCleary noticed and didn't tell? I don't know the towns educated in these matters.
This research led me to looking at the prison system program for Sex Offenders, relocating after time served and the integrating of these sex offenders back ito the family and commuity. From all the support provided in the county of GH transitioning seems to be a doable if all follow the critera they now live with a lifetime. As far as community support for registered SO's in McCleary I have no idea as I don't live there. We have heard of different ministries in town who witness to people who have commited these crimes and also to witness to survivors of this crime. I haven't heard about Community officers assigned to peeps in town but they may be. On paper all the programs available to SO are plenty that can keep them from following through with their urges. Is this program working? Your guess is as good as mine, because of the zipped lips. Lindsey's Gone. LE and citizens have claimed it is someone Lindsey knew. I would say if it were someone local they had the opportunity in everyway to seek help when his perverse thoughts of molesting started to enter his or her mind . This man/woman chose to offend, no f...ing self control. Is this program working for McCleary? No, Lindseys gone and the predator if behavior predicts is socializing and going about his day in the most arrogant way. Puzzleing how LE doesn't see a flaw right in their community. What is the frustrating aspect to the local searchers with LE and what division. Knowing this would help in understanding much!:angel:
Last but not least is stranger abduction which is the most rare. This form abduction may be avoidable especially with intervention in schools to educate. May be the only way to help parents and children prevent this from happening. US is doing a great job in that arena. Did a stranger abduct Lindsey? Maybe, Lindsey's gone!
My feel is that Grays Harbor County has many who are in need like all communities. Do to this there are goverment services comming out the ying yang if one is persistant. If a local is involved who would feel they were to proud to ask for help. Who was showing overt friendliness around town? What adolesent teen was showing signs of stress, acting out, hanging around others to become friendly with Lindsey? If a convicted SO was responsible he new the ropes of the system.
As was said, we can talk about alot of things and still be left looking from the inside of McCleary out. What do all of you think the perpretator if in McCleary is doing to stay under the radar. Many people are related to each other so wouldn't someone in the small community recognize the unusual? With all the social services going on you would have thought a few would have noticed something unusual in Lindseys life especially on the day of June 26th, 2009. Stop and think how you feel about this case as an outsider looking within and around the rim of McCleary. Ask yourself if Lindsey's crime causing her to go missing was preventable?
I don't know, Lindsey's not here.
Someone/someones are grotesque cowards. Aren't child violent sex offenders held separate from the other prisoners? Guess the coward is saying, "McCleary, Prison," If anyone wants info on all the social services within our state I can share. Too many too post. This shouldn't have happened this and in my humble opinion people were legally negligent!
Sorry had to purge!
