The anguish I feel about this case is palpable. Please pray for the soul of this little girl whose life was cut short and probably suffered horribly at the end.

Keep her family in prayer and let them feel God's comfort as they go through what we parents can only vaguely and hesitantly imagine.

If you child is old enough to walk about alone or with friends, please let them see the video of Carlie's encounter with this personification of evil.

I am trying to give the benefit of the doubt to those involved. I suspect the Parole Officer tried to get this creep back behind bars by trying to violate him for non payment of his fines. The judge says he never met the perp. If he didn't have all the info, or gave it a cursory glance, he may have believed he was sparing a person jail time for not being able to afford the fine. I'm not sure a judge would read the details and rap sheet & not take the opportunity to get this person behind bars. Its been brought to his attention, and his superiors. He and they will live with this and learn from this.

Nothing will bring Carlie back, or spare her the torture she went through in her final moments. Nothing will take back the words her parents had to hear. The system may have failed her and all of us, but one person was responsible. Lets make sure this guilty party is appropriately punished and reduce chances of this ever happening again.

Give me a break. I used to work for an attorney and it comes up when someone is murdered. Excuse me for being realistic. I'm also calling for Judge Ripken's job. If insurance is too politically incorrect for you to read about "in the real world", maybe you belong at the DU and made a wrong turn.
