Jennifer is my neice...my sisters biological child. My sister was a terrible, horrible mother, I'm very sorry to say. My sister had 4 children, and raised none of them. When she DID have contact with them, I wish I could tell you what happened, but I can't. Nobody knows what happened except for my sister, who is now deceased, and the kids. This is such a long, tragic, story - -My sister and John divorced shortly after Jennifer was a year, I believe...she told our family horrible stories to try to turn us against him, but once we all found out the truth, I ultimately testified against my sister to help John and Rose, his new wife, gain full custody of Jennifer, to give her a chance at a decent life. Once my sister lost custody, she never called, wrote or visited Jennifer again. So I guess you can start with abandonment issues...there were times that my sister dropped Jennifer off at my house when Jennifer was 2, 3, and 4 years old, and we wouldn't hear from my sister again for weeks, months....just when we thankfully thought she'd never show up again, she'd pop up and rip her from our home, breaking not only our hearts, but Jennifers as well...I don't know what kind of abuse that Jennifer endured at the hands of my sister, but ANY abuse is horrific. John and Rose sought years and years of counseling, both family, and individual. They would never knowingly put her in harms way...I can say that with absolute certainty. The fact of the matter is - my 16 year old neice is out there somewhere, and for ANYONE to try to pass judgement on them or anyone else is tragic. Put yourself in their shoes for just a moment. And now think one thing - if this was YOUR child, or your neighbors child.....wouldn't you want everyone to just GET THE STORY OUT THERE and save the self righteousness for another time? I would hope so....

Although I appreciate your willingness to air your excuse for a family's dirty laundry on a public forum on the Internet, Auntie Evil, I have to remind you that therapy for abuse does not entail more abuse. When a 'therapist' tells you 'she's not ready' to talk to her own parents this is a huge red flag. When a girl is willing to risk cuts, bruises, tetanus, etc just to get away from these people this should be an even bigger red flag.
Then again, John and Rose Michael threw away their chance at being her parents when they threw her away to CALO and God knows how many programs before that.
If you see this girl, turn around. Look the other way. Casually slip her and whatever rescuer she has a $20 for gas money if you have it. You see what these people, and I use the term loosely, are like. Please don't let this girl into their hands again.

Report AbuseThis message is directly for John & Rose.
I would urge you one or both, to get this story out on a national level. I seriously doubt Jennifer is in our area any longer. I noticed there was no Amber Alert, no listing with the national center for missing and exploited children....does this mean they do not list runaways, or that she simply hasn't been reported? I'm really glad that Joyce Miller was able to get the word out here...but we need the word out everywhere we can get it out. Please consider utilizing some of the resources I've listed below. I'm sure there are more available to you, those were just the ones that came to my mind off hand.
