What age is considered Sexual Child Abuse???.

What age is considered Sexual Child Abuse???.

Well I can't even image my 12 yr old child pregnant. This seems to be an epidemic here in Arkansas. 

Please explain to me how this cannot be considered sexual  child abuse on a parents part. 

The mother let the 17 yr old boyfriend move in when he was 16 and he began sleeping with her daughter at age 11. 

I remember at that age I was playing jacks and jump rope.

Should the mother and boy be charged. Well a judge decided the boy is considered  a minor and the mom allowed them to have sex so he could not find charges for child sexual abuse.To me this is just wrong in every-way. Now the boy has moved out to shun his responsibilities and is now with a 14 yr old. 

What in the hell I think the boy should be held responsible for his actions and the mother should have been charged with child endangerment.

What do you think??.

Do not cry but "Smile" for me.

I dedicate this poem to Sidney

Randall's Mom, family and friends.

Do not cry but "Smile" for me.

I want to say, please don't miss 

me as I see your crying tears.

I'll always be with you every day

To whisper I love you and chase your fears away.

Family and friends you can always talk to me. Even though I'm not here Remember, I'm just sleeping now, 

So I'll always be near.

Remember when you Laugh i will laugh with you. When you cry I will wipe your eyes dry. I'll blow you nightly kisses from the sky. 

To let you know it's time to sleep. 

So family and friends you can now close your eyes. I'll always be in your hearts so we will never be apart.

The beauty of "Arkansas Sunsets".

Welcome to my "World" and the beauty of Arkansas Sunsets.

As the sunset fades and blends into an open view. It can also becomes a darkened world which at any given moment anything can surprise us and open us up to new awakenings in our Souls.

There's nothing better than a beautiful sunset. There are things we all see at different times and places around the world. Some may never get to see the beauty in your world.

So i want to share the beauty of my world. Sometimes at the right moment you can step outside and be amazed by the
"Breathtaking Sunsets" that Arkansas has to offer. One can sit outside and inhale it's beauty. Knowing that's when we can let our "Imagination and Soul" become one.

Medical marijuana measure Approved for Arkansas ballot in November.2012

Arkansans with qualifying conditions to purchase marijuana from non-profit dispensaries with a doctor's recommendation. Qualifying conditions include cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS and Alzheimer's disease.

Medical marijuana measure OK'd for Arkansas ballot in November.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A proposal to legalize medical marijuana has been approved for the November ballot in Arkansas. The secretary of state's office on Wednesday said that Arkansans for Compassionate Care had turned in enough signatures to qualify the proposed initiated act for the November ballot. The proposal needed at least 62,507 signatures from registered voters to qualify. The group fell short in the number of signatures needed last month, but it was given additional time to circulate petitions. The proposal would allow Arkansans with qualifying conditions to purchase marijuana from non-profit dispensaries with a doctor's recommendation. Qualifying conditions include cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS and Alzheimer's disease. The proposal acknowledges that marijuana is illegal under federal
Guidelines.

21-year-old Chavis Carter, killed himself while handcuffed in the back of a police car

21-year-old Chavis Carter, killed himself while handcuffed in the back of a police car.

I placed 2links below where there finale ruling was suicide.
Read this story it is very wrong in my opinion.
How can a handcuff man
Who is left handed shoot himself
In the right temple.

Chavis Carter.
According to police, the 21-year-old killed himself while handcuffed in the back of a police car. Officers pulled over Carter last month in Jonesboro, Arkansas, and say he was carrying marijuana and little plastic bags often used to sell drugs.

They checked his name on a police computer and found an outstanding warrant for breaking probation in a year-old drug case.

That's when they put Carter in the cop car and he apparently ended it all—although Carter's parents aren't buying it. “I think they killed him,” said Teresa Carter, who notes Carter was left-handed but was shot in the right temple. A police probe is under way, and Jonesboro's police chief is backing the official story so far—but admits the shooting "defies logic at first glance.

Annieville man decides to grow own marijuana.

Annieville man arrested for growing his own "Plants", he believes it's his right.
Look our tax dollars hard at work. Local man who was fed up with higher prices of not just Groceries, but pleasure Plants. Decided enough is enough.
Now who do you thinks going
to be supporting him now.

Not the local Police Department
but the Citizens. I think there
are bigger fish to fry right
under there noses but I guess
a few " Pot" plants is the big
thing now-days.

When grocery prices go up, many people plant gardens to save some money. A Lawrence County man apparently thought the price of pot was too expensive, so he decided to grow his own.

Sheriff Jody Dotson says on Tuesday deputies arrested 40-year-old Michael Barnard at his home near Annieville.
Barnard was apparently not surprised when deputies knocked at his door. According to Sheriff Dotson, Barnard first asked the deputies why they were there. When they answered “you know why we are here,” Barnard reportedly said “the pot plants.”

Barnard then showed the deputies several marijuana plants that were about four feet tall. Sheriff Dotson says Barnard told deputies he was raising the plants for himself “because marijuana had become so expensive.”
Barnard is currently being held in the Lawrence County Jail awaiting a bond hearing.

Life with Love together as "One".

Sometimes life is living the way
we think it should be. We give
we take. Love us how we feel
Deep in our "Hearts"and Souls.
The worst mistake anyone can
make is being too afraid to
make one.Go out and find
what makes your Life Happy,
Then Love them.

Song- Erase ( written by Derrick Brandon) www.FallenWithin.com
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7i9Q8HD4UfQ

Life should make us Happy.
Chase the dreams we have
always wanted and worked
for. Life is going to keep us
always running not slowing
us down that's what "Life",
Is about, Love is about sharing.
It's has a course of it's own.
No one said it was going to be easy.

I believe sometimes we are to
busy with work and friends to
"Notice", the one standing
beside us has been there the whole time. We feel left out,
We feel unloved, please take
The time to "Live" & "Love"
with the one that's always been there, because if you use something long enough, it will Fade away until someone finds Them and let's them know these Great words.

My "life" is complete because I
Have all the "Love" I've been
searching for so I feel I have
found and followed my "Dreams"
and that has been "You".

West Memphis 3, To face another Hurdle.

I have been keeping updates on this story. A Lawsuit is to be filed involving, The West Memphis Three.
Here is one of Pam Hicks statements.

I'm a citizen of the United States of America.So I don't care if it cost all the money in the world. I'm a wounded soul from Arkansas," Pam Hicks said in April, I deserve the truth from Arkansas.
She is the mother of Stevie Branch, one of the three murdered West Memphis 8-year-old boys.

I posted the link below for more
Information.

Thursday afternoon Action News 5 received an e-mail alerting us to a news conference scheduled for Friday morning in Marion, Arkansas. The only details said it involved the West Memphis Three and a lawsuit. We have learned it involves the mother of one of the murdered 8-year-old boys.

I knew that once they were freed.
This was not going away. Well here it is, The mother of one of the young murdered boys is filing a suit against the West Memphis 3.

I can't even begin to feel her pain.
I pray for all the families that suffered through this tragedy. The only thing the does bother me. The 3 men were released with a plea bargain saying there were guilty, even though none of the West Memphis 3 boys DNA was found at the scene of the crime, and the lawyers blotched the whole trial.
I hope they do find who the killer is so at least there will be closure
for all involved in this case.
