I've cried many nights and days since Christopher was found. I do not know this child, but now feel as if I do. I have started making calls to the people in charge of the Justice for Christopher Foundation, and have started their petition up here in Maryland. I've put a call into my senator's office, and believe letters need to be written to your state senator, demanding changes in the sexual predator laws.
What happened to Christopher could happen to any of our children. Keep watch over them. Do not let them outside alone. They are preyed upon by these evil, hideous monsters who are waiting for their chance. The law does not do much for these monsters. They are let out of jail, if they even serve time, to molest again and again.
If you are truly interested to know what to do, keep in touch with me. I am making many calls and writing letters to my local tv news, as well as to Bill O'Reilly, Nancy Grace, People Magazine...any of the publications that can keep this on the front page.
