That last post was edited and re-edited to attempt to remove myself from the situation, but the truth is, those two little ones are my niece and nephew. Their story saddens and frustrates me, and it affects my family. In fact, it makes me bloody angry, and I’m still stewing onit.
This blog idea was supposed to be a place for me to come to vent all my frustration and anger about things that are bugging me. I failed to vent sufficiently (probably because of the editing), but then, this topic is one which cannot be written off as an annoying issue. It cannot be solved or changed just by writing about it.
It was suggested to me that I send a copy of that post to government representatives and departments that it would relate to. I don’t know what it would be worth to them (probably nothing more than words), but is it possible to make someone in authority see the human side of the issue? If that’s possible, then I will track down those contacts and forward a copy to them. Mind you, I am pretty sure they have heard many similar stories, first-hand even, and yet these situations keep occurring. How relevant to their paperwork and legislation is the human factor?
Is there anyone out there experiencing similar frustrations? What is there to be done, besides pleading with the authorities, and short of kidnapping? Any and all ideas and thoughts are encouraged, for the sake of the innocents.
