Hey yall, I have been incognito lately, had a lot going on. My

daughter went to court against the animal who molested my

grandchildren. If they had gone for a jury trial the kids would have

had to testify in open court which I think is total b.s. but it's a

little hick town, so I guess the attorney made a deal. Since it was

his first offense he got deferred adjudication?? with 10 years

probation, has to wear an ankle monitor and cannot be around children

under 18 years of age. So apparently you can take away the innocence

of a 4 and 5 year old child and just get a slap on the wrist. I

personally would like about five minutes with him, with a rusty

pocket knife. My daughter feels like between the money he has to pay

for probation, and the monthly charge for the ankle monitor, that he

will violate probation and hopefully they will throw his sorry butt

in prison. The kids are doing much better, they love their teachers

and are a little less tense and watchful than they have been. They

have been in counseling and play therapy, and that has helped a lot.

The grownups are having a hard time dealing with the insanely light

penalty for their molestor, but I know God will get us through this.

He's never failed us yet.

Thanks for listening to me rant.

Love to all

Jane
