Not everyone who is charged with a crime is guilty and there are always at least two sides to every story and mitigating circumstances to be considered.Miz Kizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05650747741395559803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-17869853231442744432012-02-16T13:42:34.460-08:002012-02-16T13:42:34.460-08:00This is such a tough situation.

And we tend you scream in outrage at perceived injustices and allegations. We must remember that the people we trust with our children are just that - people. Not only are they human but they have feelings. And they are innocent until proven guilty. <br /><br />I guess the question is, how do we help them so they stay the wonderful Caregivers and Service Providers we know they are. I preach and pontificate to Moms about taking care of themselves so they can take care of their loved ones. We need to support and encourage our Special Caregivers and Service Providers to do the same. For everyone's sake.<br /><br />Thank you Shannon for staying as impartial as possible and for reminding us that we are all human.Sandrahttp://www.ourspecialfamiliesvillage.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-58625891196677748852012-02-12T13:21:47.868-08:002012-02-12T13:21:47.868-08:00I had a similar cognitive dissonance when a collea...I had a similar cognitive dissonance when a colleague of mine was accused of attempted murder, something I knew he was incapable of doing. The public tarred him (same population as where you live, and I think perhaps just as quick to judge and react and become strident), but in the end, all charges were dropped. I hope that your interpretation and experience are the guiding light for how this turns out, too. I'm so sorry.EJ Willinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07333507287598525182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-52349974457036849622012-02-08T14:21:19.482-08:002012-02-08T14:21:19.482-08:00Thank you for writing this. xoxoThank you for writing this. xoxoJen Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178547646207135454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-65726887335337903872012-02-08T13:08:07.645-08:002012-02-08T13:08:07.645-08:00I didn't put the two together yesterday, as I ...I didn't put the two together yesterday, as I didn't look at the news stories, just the headlines.<br /><br />Oh this must be so awful.
