I'm so sick about this HM. I've been upset all week. Every time I see her beautiful face, I could just sob. I'm livid. I don't know what it's going to take to put an end to this. If they ever find the man who did this, how much do you want to bet he had a record? I'm beside myself with disgust.

Soooooooo...I'm going to empower my children. I want them to learn how to effectively fight for their life if needed. They start Karate on Monday.

When you figure they're ready for the post graduate work, feel free to let me know.

There's a lot more to it than *just* Karate, but several of the Karate forms offer an excellent foundation, and if your kids have the interest, dedication and drive to stick with it, hey, that's what works.

My husband is in law enforcement. He has always emphasized to me and our girls that if a perp has a weapon and threatens you with it, he WILL USE it. Best to fight, scream, die on the spot rather than be taken... Our girls know they must fight when threatened. They've taken kick boxing classes (and still do when they find the time).

I'm praying with all my heart that in Elizabeth's case, somehow, some way God has intervened in her behalf. I've been very upset since I've heard of her disappearance. Printing off flyers now to post in my community.

Agreed, Spookie. I'm contacting the Sheriff's office for information on self defense courses.

See post 86 for a lovely picture of this young girl.
