You can look it up online, the Iowa courts have the record.<br /><br />Both of Aliahna's grandfather's are convicted child molesters, (the maternal GF died last month).<br /><br />As someone who spent a great deal of time exposing Tarah Souder's complete disregard for her children, I take exception with most of what you said.<br /><br />She'll likely, at the very least be charged with neglect under Indiana Code and do a couple of years in prison.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-11656375468789284322012-01-06T07:58:44.631-08:002012-01-06T07:58:44.631-08:00I'm with you, Sheri.
Anyone that wants to can...I'm with you, Sheri.<br /><br />Anyone that wants to can judge and criticize all they want, if it makes them feel better. But I wonder... what good does it do? Does it change anything? Does it truly make anyone, including the judging person a better person? If it helped anything at all, I would be all for it. But it seems to me that these awful situations only call for compassion and support. The mom will not learn better ways with judgment, but she just may with a kind, understanding, helping hand.<br /><br />I am sure that I could be judged and criticized for things in my life and family. I'm doing the best I can with what I know and what I have. Just maybe the thought could be entertained that others are doing the same. <br /><br />You rock, Sheri!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05996426286997454518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-56458648615552998752012-01-05T21:46:15.026-08:002012-01-05T21:46:15.026-08:00I know there is much info out there and I have rea...I know there is much info out there and I have read until I was sick. It does make me ill. I am not saying things were done right. I am not saying the children were in a good situation. I agree with you on that point. I just found it disturbing that it was so very harsh and quick. <br /><br />I have been involved inthe foster care system both as a foster parent and through the adoption of my son. Trust me, I have seen some truly messed up families. I understand that those do exist. It is sick and sad. <br /><br />I didn't mean to make it seem that I was blaming it on her being poor. I have seen that cycle of poverty and I know how it can be overcome. It is not an excuse for poor choices. I was simply making an observation. <br /><br />I suppose I just want to see good in people. I suppose I want to give people a small bit of credit. <br /><br />It is a difficult situation all around. It has brought out anger, fear and frustration in people. I just think that a small bit of the anger is misdirected. <br /><br />Thanks for your comments.Sherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16598822471867683429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-89956584437793799682012-01-05T21:31:35.417-08:002012-01-05T21:31:35.417-08:00I disagree with what you said about the people who...I disagree with what you said about the people who are criticizing the choices this mother made, and the accusation that the those same people, essentially, turn a blind eye to people in need.<br /><br />I have been on public benefits at different times in my life, and I came from a family with an absent father and a mother who waited tables to support us. <br /><br />I grew up surrounded by families who were struggling, and sometimes sinking, in the swirling pool pf poverty.<br /><br />No one, not a single adult, that I knew growing up would have made choices that even come close to the ones made by this family.<br /><br />My single, working mother was ill at times with the flu and worse. Somehow she managed to get by without sending us off to stay with other people.<br /><br />This child had already been molested at least once (by someone else)! Do you really think that this psychopath did not help himself to this girl? To fill whatever sick needs he has?<br /><br />My heart breaks for this little girl who was murdered! My heart worries to no end for her siblings, who will likely lead a life of chaos.<br /><br />I am sorry for this mother who lost her child, but to blame it on being poor is ridiculous.Kari Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16655703.post-6365996446349877302012-01-05T18:33:35.809-08:002012-01-05T18:33:35.809-08:00Good for you.

Regarding those of us out here angered by the one(s) that were supposed to protect her, an innocent 9 year old along with two lucky 6 yr olds... a choice was made to knowingly surround them with dangerous people (multiple times). Sometimes the picture is bigger than the frame...take it out and the hidden parts unfold changing the perception and focus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
