Of all the non-profit organizations, churches, etc. in San Diego, they picked this one. Interesting....

Van Dams undecided on how $24,000 will be used

I'm sure the fact that 24 grand would buy a lot of weed, beer, and very friendly friends was not lost on these two lowlifes.

[Cicero]

I expect they'll throw a really good orgy to help them get over the grief.

Some family friends were identified:
"said family friend Bill Libby, who handled donations for the van Dams."
"said family spokeswoman Sara Muller Fraunces"

EXCEPT this one:
and a family friend who attends Community Bible Church asked the Pastor (B. Minkow, ex-con). Did this "friend" prefer not to be identified?

What is this world coming to?

Hmmm...

Matthew 12:43-45

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Is that $5000 check the one their spokesperson had said had already been given (when interviewed on local radio!) to Laura recovery and Laura recovery is still waiting for?

Pity for the people who donated and probably couldn't afford to. The RIGHT thing to do is REFUND the donations. I notice no where is that mentioned as even under consideration. I hate this case.

[RedWhiteBlue]

the van Dams are considering establishing a local foundation to conduct searches for missing San Diego children.

IMO the Laura Recovery Center should get every penny of the donations that were not spent on flyers, etc. They came to the rescue of Danielle and did a fine job. What would be gained by setting up a new organization? The Van Dams are not considering this move to help abducted children, since that need is already being met through the Laura Recovery Center. I suspect that the reason they want to do this is so that they can pay themselves a salary as the administrators of the foundation. They smell a potential windfall of a great deal more than $20k.

"I'm sure in due time that they will turn their attention to the appropriate and productive use of those funds, but right now they're really still dealing with the loss of their daughter," said family spokeswoman Sara Muller Fraunces.
