[this thread had a subtitle of "Nailed It!". What the hell does that mean?]
Carey, like Louis XIV, you pretend like you are the Sun King, the center of the universe, the pivot around which all else revolves. You were told by someone about the HI pictures, and the Dundee rape? Like telling you was tantamount to telling J. Edgar Hoover about a meeting of communists converging into, say, Chicago? Like somebody needs to "leak" a story to you, an equal to a reporter for the New York Times or the Washington Post. Carey, you are not Woodward and Bernstein; nor are you Tim Weiner. You are a loose cannon. YOU ARE NOT VERY IMPORTANT, IN THE GREATER SCHEME OF THINGS.
My kid in Casa doesn't bring floods of informers tattling about this and that at Casa. MY ONLY PERSONAL EMAIL (you remember what personal is, don't you???) from Sue Scheff was a very nice note, very early on, giving me the contact name of another grandmother who was able to retreive her grandaughter from Casa. Simply that,"...I know of a grandmother who was able to get her grandaughter out...", which I thought was very nice. I contacted this grandmother, and found circumstances a little different, but learned from her that it took 6+ months and nearly $100K to get the girl. For this contact, I truly thank Sue Scheff. It made our burden more bearable.
You say "...ED CONS need to be exposed". Well, maybe. One man's exposed is another man's full knowledge, so one can make an informed decision depending on what works for him. IOW, SOME FOLKS WANT TO USE AN ED CON, INCLUDING SUE SCHEFF, regardless of her "credentials". It is not for you to decide. You can inform, BUT YOU CANNOT DECIDE, EXPOSE, PROSECUTE, SENTENCE, EXECUTE. If someone talks with Sue Scheff and likes her personally, likes which facilities she suggests, likes the whole concept of personal imprisonment for their children, likes to throw money into that slimy pit...that's their choice. They should not, however, be allowed to imprison their children in harmful places, and my personal opinion is that laws are the way to ensure that. [Ginger and some ex-Straights disagree, but that's just a disagreement.]
I did want to tell you that there were very neat thunder storms here in Northern California today...and that I say this because PURE told me to say that. Oh, and they also told me to breathe in and breathe out. God Damn, where would I be without them?
