Someone needs to do something!!

What happened to protecting children?! It seems like everyday I hear about something new happening to a child across the country, someone goes missing, someone gets abused, someone gets killed... and no one does NOTHING.

This is inexcusable and Im tired of sitting back and doing nothing. There are addresses at the bottom of this, I encourage everyone to write expressing how you feel about this ridiculous "justice system" that we have.

I hope that this little girl receives justice. I stood up for myself to give hope to other children like me, to let them know that silence doesnt solve anything. Well apparently neither does reaching out... My heart is broken :| Anyway, please read...

Sep 16 Dr. Guez insists visitation continue with father's preferred supervisor David Tristan instead of Angel House supervised visitation program who was available and willing to provided services for the comfort of the child

Since the age of three India had been sexually abused by her father. At the age of seven she had the courage to come forward and make an outcry to Child Protective Services anticipating that she would be protected. Unfortunately, through legal tactics, her father Richard Hubscher has been able to prevent her protection. His attorneys cleverly divert the focus away from the allegations of sexual abuse, and have exploited the new legal defense used by pedophiles "Parent Alienation Syndrome." The father's attorney who purportedly has connections at the Harris County District Attorney's office has succeeded in having the criminal case against Richard Hubscher "No Billed." They cite that it cannot be proven that her father was having her touch his penis "with the intent to arouse and gratify." The focus of this case has never been on "the best interest of India" because the father's attorney's, psychologist and amicus attorney have much to gain financially by keeping the focus on the best interest of this perpetrating father.

That "Dr. Guez" needs a bullet.

That poor little girl. =(

Quoting Kalith:" That "Dr. Guez" needs a bullet."

my points exactly. Im so upset about it. A lot of these places are within driving distance of me (im in houston). Im seriously thinking about driving up there myself and giving them a piece of my mind!! Screw a smurfing letter.

10/14/2011: An order was signed denying dad all visitation. I looked this case up and noticed that whatever hearing was held in December 2011 got some big results, too. It got transferred to Grimes County. Also, Dad's attorney withdrew for non-payment. Dr. Guez AND Heather Hughes have very good reputations. Hearing one side doesn't really give you the big picture. I'm sure it was more complicated than a one post could possibly portray, thus all of the different professional opinions.

The world is actually getting considerably less violent, a general downward trend since the end of WWII but which really started taking off after the American War in Vietnam.

Author Steven Pinker made a case for this counter-intuitive notion of decreasing violence in his book, "The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined." Basically it's several hundred pages of hard data, summed up succinctly by saying: "Violence has decreased; our fear of it and knowledge of it has increased."
