I keep thinking of the little siblings, friends and schoolmates of Danielle who are dealing with this horrific event. I pray that their needs and fears are being attended to.

When I was around 12 years old this same horror invaded my hometown in Tennessee. I'll never forget it because my dad was on the Sheriff's Dept and my parents became very possessive of me after that.

The little girl was kidnapped walking home through the woods and I'll spare the details but as long as I live, I'll never forget her name although I never knew her: Betty Jean Necessary was her name.

It took away much innocence from us as kids and whenever this happens I still shed a tear for a little girl my age, whom I never knew, as well as the current victim. God when will it ever stop? What kind of animal preys on innocent children?

Exactly. Some of my earliest recollections are of horrible events in the news. One was of an overpass collapsing on cars and crushing people. There were pictures in Time magazine of it. I remember staring at those picture and thinking about the people getting smashed in their cars. To this day, I hate having to stop under an overpass at a red light. This wasn't even something personal that happened to me or anyone I knew, but it gave me nightmares for years. I can't even imagine how horrible this is for the little ones who knew Danielle. They will carry this horror with them the rest of their lives. May they have wise parents who help them deal with it....
