OT: Carlie Burcia
I just felt like expressing my sorrow over the abduction of Carlie
Burcia from Sarasota Florida. I’m sure everyone’s seen the
surveillance tape of her capture by now. My heart aches for her and
her family.
My daughter Kayleigh is also in 6th grade like Carlie. Kayleigh’s
friends are allowed to walk to each others’ houses alone, and she
just doesn’t understand why I won’t let her do the same. I try to
give her as much freedom as possible, but I draw the line at being
alone outside. I bought her a cell phone with a tracking device, so
if, God forbid, something were to happen, she could hopefully be
tracked. I feel paranoid, yet justified in doing this.
Somehow I feel confident that Carlie will be found alive.

…Ditto that! Prayers indeed! I remember also the freedom of my childhood
(almost 40). When I was in 5th & 6th grades my Mom would give me $5 on a
Saturday and let me walk with a friend to town to spend it…about 2 miles away!
Gosh how times have changed! I’m for the death penalty in certain
cases…kinda.
I think the biggest problem is society in general. No one cares any more. Too
many things are considered “acceptable”. Lmao at “freedom of speech” being a
excuse….if our founding fathers could see America now, I think not only
would they roll over in their graves, they’d probably scratch their way
out!…or
dig down deeper… :o(
