I just have to say...something. Although I'm still not sure what I want to say. April Jones is a British five year old who vanished and is presumed (rightfully so) dead. I don't want to talk about the case and I don't want to talk about the man who has been arrested. I guess I want to say, how could anyone look into that little face and want to hurt her? No, this is not a question I expect an answer to. April personifies innocence and trust..look at her. She instills in me and all of you, I'm positive, an instinctive desperate need to protect her. Yet, there are people out there who want to hurt her and those like her. Not only hurt her, but, take pleasure in the subjection of horror to innocents. There are people out there who find this tiny sweet face sexual in nature. It is almost too much to bear. It makes my brain bleed. I frightens me and it should terrify you too, to think these people are out there. If there is actually a hell, what hell would be to me is, being put in the mind of such evil and being forced to witness the thoughts. It makes me want to hold all children close. But, realistically, it makes me want to keep my eyes open. It makes me never ever trust blindly even at the risk of hurting someones feelings. It makes me more apt to speak up at any fleeting uncomfortable feeling I get about people. It makes me carry books in my car, so that I can sit, always early, knowing my granddaughter is never, ever waiting alone when school is out. It makes me say, no, you can not go look at toys while I browse the the clothing department. It makes my granddaughter not even bother to ask me if she can go to the park three blocks away with a neighbor kid. Because she already knows the answer. I don't even know why I did this post or why I'm rambling. I think I am feeling a deep and painful empathy with April's mother right now. I have lost a child. It is the worst thing that can ever happen. The pain never leaves, not even for a day. There are people out there who take pleasure in inflicting this pain..and it is my worst nightmare. It scares me every day of my life.
The man who has been arrested for this heinous crime has, so far, refused to give April's body back to her mother. He is enjoying prolonging her pain. I think what bothers me the most, besides trying to get crimes like this OUT of my head, is knowing the public has to support these demons in prison. I believe there are some things that should carry the penalty of death and should not be appealed or delayed. Evil must be removed. There is just no other way to deal with it. The true monsters must not be allowed to live in our world anymore once they are unmasked. It should not be tolerated.

Besides being a compassionate person, I think one of the reasons this has effected you so much is ... that little girl looks so much like Lissa. Hopefully, this guy will finally do the right thing & tell the authorities where this little girl is buried. Give her back to her family. RIP little April.
Noticed in today's paper there was an article about Jerry Sandusky being sentenced tomorrow. The story told what his life would be like behind bars in a state prison. His daily life & all that the state would provide didn't look that bad to me (yea, my tax dollars at work). Granted, he did not murder any of his victims, but he certainly messed up their lives ... forever. He is no better than someone who murders a child. He is a serial child molester. I'm sadistically hoping he gets sentenced to Greene SCI, PA's super max prison where a relative of mine is one of the head guards. Inmates don't like child molesters & guards are known to conveniently be out of the area at certain times.
Holy jebus. I cannot think about this. But won't be able to NOT think about it now. The poor family, the mommy. She looks like a baby to me. There is something bron in us as normal women, not all women have it, that makes you want to save, protect and feed a child. Its like throwing your arm out when you stop short, to save the child sitting there. It's just a reflex. You don't have to be told to do it or be taught to do it. It just happens. But abnormal people don't have this inside them. They cannot because they weren't born with the ability, to care for another human being. These are the people that kick dogs and stomp on cats, and steer on purpose to hit chipmunks and squirrels. I know people by me have been doing that. My precious little friends are flattened all the time. I miss seeing them and our own chipmunks , both of them from our Catalpa tree were both hit and killed. I hate people. They have no feelings, no conscience. No remorse. They are incapable of feeling bad about anything. They are total sociopaths, no moral compass whatsoever. This is indeed sad. This is happening so often now and usually the culprit(the parent) is never arrested. Is killing small children not a crime anymore? It would seem so! I am fed up with it too. They do it because they know nobody will do anything to them!! This bastard better get lethal injection asap!

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Child and animal abusers / murderers should be exterminated. No tax dollars or empathy given. Fuck all and die. I would even be totally okay being the executioner. I could go "Dexter" on them. I've seen too much as an animal rescue volunteer and at times I have to take a break from the action because all the pain and all the stories start to get to me. It makes my heart hurt and my brain bleed, too.
i'm with CJ, this little girl does look like lissa, that has to seriously create an immediate visceral reaction in you....though the story would create such a reaction in anyone!
they need to allow torture and this mofo should be tortured until he tells where her body is, then the torture should continue until he's dead.....i am ALL for drawing and quartering being reintroduced for those who prey upon the innocent, weak and voiceless....children, elderly, even animals.....there is no redemption or 'rehabilitation' for things like that....kill them and make them suffer.....
I am kinda on the team with that chick that cut off the dudes d**k and shoved it in the garbage disposal after she found out what he'd been doing with it. I never heard the whole story tho. Dude hearing his d**k grinding away into tiny bits going down the drain...can you even imagine? Too extreme? It depends on the crime. Remember back in the old days, and still in some African and Middle Eastern countries, they cut off the limb you sin with! Just sayin'...

ok, I've been wanting to say this since this happened but it is an unpopular opinion so I figure I can post it here & not get as much shit if I were to put it on facebook! ok here goes.
The scum that took this girl should rot in hell. I am so in favor for the death penalty & at the very least castration for anyone committing a violent or sexual crime against children BUT, she was out, on her bike with a 7 year old friend at 7.30pm on an October evening. For those of you not from UK, at 7.30pm in october it is dark already & most kids of 5 years old, mine included,, are either in bed already or on their way to bed. She should not have been out or at the very least should have been supervised by an older sibling (i.e. one over 12 year old). Fact: she should not have been out at 7.30pm with only a 7 year old friend for company & i truly believe her parents failed in their duty of care for her by allowing her to be out at 7.30pm unsupervised,. I don't care how safe you think your neighborhood is, the chance that something might happen should always be at the forefront of any parents mind, there are ways to give your child freedom without putting them in unnecessary danger. This was not one of them.
Her parents will blame themselves forever & they will suffer every day & for that I am sorry for them, they made a mistake & it has had tragic results but I truly believe that if they had been doing their duty to this poor child then she would be alive & well today.
The man who took & killed her will always be to blame for what happened to her but her parents are responsible for giving him the opportunity to do his evil.
for anyone wanting more info---as i was unaware of this story until i just read it here---here is a link to the bbc timeline of events....he was arrested the next day....he was known to the family.....they said she willingly got into the vehicle---if she knew him and/or thought he was a friend, that would explain the 'trust' there....she also had cerebral palsy....
it gets dark here by 7:30pm our time too bubbleator.....
Well said, DD
I agree with EVERYTHING that's been said here.
Why I don't believe in god, Part 8,396!
It makes me depressed to think about all the bad things that happen in the world today. Did things like this happen so often 30 years ago? I'm only 17 years old and already sick of the way people do things like this. I could never forgive myself if I truly hurt another person. I would be extremely upset if I hurt a poor helpless animal. A few months ago when I was in the car with my mother and two sisters, a car ran over a cat's legs and just kept going. Didn't even slow down. I was in tears. I made my mom stop the car to see if the cat was alright. He wouldn't let my mother get close to him and kept walking away form her so she figured it wasn't too bad. She said the owner would take him the the vet if there was really something wrong with him. I knew the owner probably wouldn't.
There just seems to be more bad people in the world than good these days.
