Not sure if anyone seen this. On the news last night news4jax reporter said Mother collasped after vigil and had to be carried inside. They would not show that, due to respect to family which I am glad. News reporter that was reporting ws all tore up, she could not hardly speak when she first started. Jen is her name. This was the 10pm news.

can't give details but said " sure this was a kidnapping and murder " which seems to rule out the possibility she climbed into a trash bin to hide.

I am getting very very angry that this is almost an everyday thing now. Our children are getting slaughtered and nobody seems to care. Those people that do this to kids do not deserve to breath the same air as us. I am just soooooo angry. :furious:

I'm really sad this morning.

We can march on Washington and sign petitions and scream at the Heavens, but nothing will change until there are mandatory life sentences for any crime that would give a SO predator status. Even then it wouldn't solve all our problems, but you'd be removing people from the streets who target the under 12 children as a rule.

And without getting too political, we're not in the right climate for those changes now. Unless you have someone in all state and federal offices like, say, Gov. Perry of TX, I have a hard time picturing our children being prioritized over the civil liberties of a group that, more often than not, cannot be rehabilitated or controlled. Supervised status does nothing. It's like watching a bomb. Yeah, you might know when it goes off firsthand, but it's not going to stop it from detonating.

It's pointless, and makes it more and more evident than you're your child's own line of defense. We need to be going in another direction, law and sentencing-wise. I can't picture our current government taking a harder stance on these "sick" people. Just because they're mentally ill doesn't make them any less dangerous. Treat them like the threats they are.

DITTO:furious:

My own opinion, any person that hurts a child, such as these pathetic monsters, needs to be immediately donated to science so they can start working on a cure.

I think people(myself included) who are sick of seeing our babies hurt are going to start detonating soon. I am guessing people would rather have their tax money go to building a prison strictly for SO's than paying for a new and improved baseball stadium.

 

[cindysue]

death to all sex offenders!!! it should be an automatic death sentence to any pervert who even harms a child! :furious:

We should have everyone in the country that feels this way and have them sign it and put in on the desk of every authority that we can find..

It is a sad morning...and the worst thing is that it continues to happen daily. Until our jail system is loaded with parents taking matters into their own hands, I see nothing changing..
God as my witness, If I ever see anyone attempt to snatch a child, it will be one less person breathing on the face of this earth. Yes, I understand that I will be sent to prison, but for the sake of one child, I would do it in a heartbeat..
2 wrongs may not make a right..but....
how else can children really be protected? These SOB's have more rights than our children because of our constitution! I may have tomatoes thrown at me for saying it, but I don't agree that our constitution serves these fools who harm children. I know for a FACT that my nephews didn't just spend a year in Iraq to protect the rights of people who kill children..as a matter of fact, I am sure that they would be happy if you lined them all up in the streets of Baghdad for target practice.
We as parents have to fight back..the government is failing children each and every day.. Judges who let people who harm children walk free should also be punished each time that person re offends..charge them with the same dang crimes as the perps!
I am just sick this morning with all of this! Just sick!
RIP SOMER....and God please help this family through this difficult time..and if you work miracles, please lead the detectives to the person who did this to her and make him/her pay!

I hear the calls for the death penalty and castration. I'm against castration unless they actually cut something off. These days they do chemical castration, no real fear there.
I would like to see them all killed and swiftly, but I know its not going to happen. Everyone stop and look around, our judicial systems have long been taken over by liberal judges. We are living in times that are dangerous.
I would opt for a small area of containment in Antartica, where it would be impossible to escape before freezing to death. They could develop a polar bear breeding center there also. In and out only by helicopter. This would be for life. Jmo

ITA PG!! Once you have touched a child you have forfeited the right to live amongst the rest of society-since nothing works to stop them from re-offending. And their sickness only grows!:furious: Even if they don't murder-they still leave victims with a life sentence! Unfortunately, I know this personally!!:twocents:

 

[mydailyopinions]

Just a thought this morning..

I never really looked at the number of friends I have through facebook and myspace until this morning, and took a moment to send a message to all my friends with the watchdog website to give them a place to see what sex offenders live near them..
http://www.familywatchdog.us/
The simple thought of one child being kept safe today just by sending this information to as many people as possible is a positive thing we can do to help children stay safe..
Just by using our social networking sites, we can inform people who normally wouldn't even think to pay attention to these things. I hope you will join me today, for Somer!
This may not be the cause of her death, but somewhere today, another sex offender will take a child....maybe we can help stop it!
Lord help our children!

At 4:28 in the first video, does that reporter say "in this white neighborhod"?!?!?!

 

[Disguiseduser0308]

RIP sweet baby girl. I have faith they will catch whomever did this to you. Prayers for friends and family.

 

[Anothermom]

And an even scarier thing is these are only the SO or SP crimes we know of because the child was murdered or went missing. My friend works for Dept of Youth Services here, and she says every day there are charges of rape and sodomy on little girls from babies to teens by brothers, cousins, fathers...she said there has been a dramatic increase in sibling rapes in the past four or five years, and lots of times the abuse has been going on for a while before the mother or somebody else figures it out.

 

[jamiect]

My heart is broken on this sad day.

Once again, another precious angel taken too soon. Praying that justice is swift.

Just got done watching new conf that Patty G posted.
First, I'd like to say thank you so much Patty G.

This SO is impressive! It's nice to see them keep the public informed. They are keeping details close to the vest, which they should, but they are not keeping everyone in the dark and acting shady. Wouldn't it be nice if all cases were handled like this.

Thanks again Patty G. You are great.

I went back and listened again. I think he said "quiet neighborhood"
