Response on: Police: Man Abused Child for 16 Years

After reading this article I was way more shocked than I have been. For sixteen years, this guy abused some poor child, sexually. Taking Videos of it was way over the top for me, sexually abusing a child for the worst 16 years of his life is way over the top for me. Just regular child abusing is ignorant and i'm sure everybody, besides the people who do it, would agree with me. Sexually abusing, child abusing, for sixteen years, is just plain and utterly stupid. How can people live with them selves after doing such a harmful thing, and putting a young human being it such a hurtful experience. Ecspecially for so long, even after one hit of child. I know I couldn't live with myself for doing anything like that. I also don't get why it took the victim 16 years to finally say something, but it's a good thing. And its a wonder how the person is still alive. people are pathetic, they can't get somebody their own age, so they go after the young ones to get what they want, because they know they will get it from them, is that it? I just don't understand. It's pathetic.

Hillarys response

Hey I enjoyed reading your articles and I was happy to see that there were shelters and everything for abused children. It's nice to see that people are helping out and trying to take care of these abused kids. Abuse is something that I feel no child should have to go through and I know it's definately something that is very hard to try and forget and put behind you. I don't like children being abused or hearing about these innocent kids getting hurt and it's nice to know there are people in the world who really care about children and who want to try and protect them and make sure that they are safe. Good job with all your articles, responses and citations. You're doing a good job!

Your blog is pretty well put together and you have good information. I think that you picked a very good subject to research because it is important. I don't know how easy it will be for you to research this. It shocks me too that parents, gaurdians or any one would want to hurt kids. Good job so far. the green was somewhat easy to read

Danica's Response

Kianna- You took good notes on this article. The citation is complete and correct. And the title of the response is the same source of the information in the citation. The text is the same as the 5 paragraph essay, and the text color is the same in both articles and different from the 5 paragraph essay. The responses are in complete sentences, and so is the notes. The first blog post had more information, you should look into the toher article about the mother abusing her children more; it seems interesting.

Response on Palm Bay Woman

When I read this article, is shocked me. It completely took me by surprise, how a mother of 4, not just one child, but FOUR children would be able to abuse one of them, that we know for sure, bad enough for the 4-month old infant had a spiral imjury. Then blame it on her 20-month old daughter. That's ignorant, selfish, and hurtful. I don't understand why or how anybody, ecspecially parents of any aged children could abuse their child in any way, shape, or form. It's depressing and needs to stop. To me, if you don't want kids, which you obviosuly don't if you just abuse them, then use protection, don't have kids, and be responsible. The poor children could have had way better lives then what some parents are giving them, these days. :(

Tampa Fl Response

My thoughts toward that aricle I just read was amazed. I think it is very great that people are willing to do something like that, and help people, whether they are being abused or veterans. I know the veterans had nothing to do with child abuse. But I thought it kind of went with the whole thing. And I just think it's really great that thouse people were able to and wanted too make things better, and be able to help children of any age. I also thought it was great how they got people from anywhere they would need to go to be under that same roof, for scared and traumatized children that were too scared to leave the house.

News Centers Give Shelter, Comfort in Trying Times. (Tampa, Fl)

Notes:

Mary Lee Farrior & Sara Romeo (the two women who made Tampa a safer place.)
with huge effort, and dedication they put together two institutions; at
MAry Lee's House, protection and advocacy for abused children.
Athena House, living center for homeless female veterans.

wihtout them; no institutions.
without community; no time, money, resources;

Athena House: home of 16 female veterans, largest in Southeast. Shelter, former Ybor City boarding house, served male soldiers from WW2.

Romeo; instrumental in saving historic structure from the wrecking ball when stood in way of Interstate 4 wideneing project. - building was put up for bids, Tapa Crossroads won. Everything id newly renovated and furnished home donated.

woman that live there= roof over heads, access to help veteran-related issues; post-traumatic stress.

WEst Tampa; Mary Lee's HOuse operated as state-of-the are center for children that have suffered abuse. $6 million, 30,000-square-foot center, house all agenencies who work to rescue kids form abuse situations.

MAry Lee's House- gather agencies that deal with ^^^ under 1 roof: law enforcement, state attorney's and public defender's offices, Fl Dept. of Children & Families, USF DEpt. of Pediactrics and communtiy mental health organizations.

This was done, to prevent children having to to all these scary places, instead going to "cheerful" Mary Lee's House: everything designed for kids, right down to tiny interview charis and medical exam rooms.

goal: bring all groups togeher-promote collaboration benefit children.

Mary Lee Farrior- son Rex Farrior III- executive directer Peg Reese- traveld Fl studied children's advocacy centers across US to make sure Mary Lee's House designed to use best practices in working w/ traumatized children.

brittany's response

Good job kianna, the green is kind of hard to stare at haha. It is a hard topic to research but it is also really important And yeah I too wonder why people would hurt their kids or a stranger hurt someone but no one will ever really know why. The most people can do is find theories and ask questions about why they abuse their child. But sense we all have different minds and different ways of doing things no one will get the same answer twice.

Jakes response

Your blogged looked nice. Child abuse is a horrible thing. However, people need to learn about it an be educated about it so something can be done about it. You picked a good topic. Why did you pick this topic?

Matt's response

I thought your blog was pretty good and the font and font color was easy to read. You should be able to find a lot of information because there are always children being abused. I think also that it would be hard to look at or to read about all the children being abused.

Ashley's Response

Hello Kiannaaa! I think that your topic would be a very interesting one to research. I think it would be cool for you to interview someone who has seen child abuse or someone who was abused and would be willing to share there experience with you. That may be hard to do or hard to find someone who would do that, but it would be interesting to see what they had to say about the situation and why they think they are being abused. I'm sure there are many websites to research it on but I do not know of any really good ones. There may be some where they put reports online about certain cases that there have been. I have seen that before, not necessarily on child abuse, but there are about other things. That may be interesting for people. I also like your background and the pictures. Its soo prettty! Well I think you are doing a great job and you hope you will be lucky in finding your research.

Hilary's Response

Your blog on child abuse was really good and it seemed like you have a great interest in researching this topic. I always wonder the same thing about why people abuse children and unlike you, I have seen it happen before. It is scary and something I wish I had never seen. But as I was reading through your blog I noticed a couple mistakes in paragraph two or three. Other than that your blog was really good. I don't recommend any websites or anything like that because I am sure you can find something on child abuse very easily.

Jessica's response

I think that you chose a good topic, you seem very interested in learning more. I researched child abuse for my I-search last year, and i found out a lot. There were a lot of different web sites on it. It's really sad how current child abuse is! By you researching child abuse, you will find that a lot of it has to do with anger issues, and maybe even the abusers past. Child abuse doesn't seem so bad; just because you don't see it on t.v. all the time; but in reality a lot of it isn't being reported. I hope you find all the research you need for this topic! Also, you did very good with your spelling, I don't think you made any errors! (:

5 Paragraph Essay

For starters, I decided to do my I Search on Child Abuse. I chose this topic because it interested me. Not that children being abused is exciting to me, by any means. It's just that when I hear about kids getting abused by their parents or guardians, or even a stranger, it shocks me. I guess the reason I chose this topic was so maybe I could see why parents would do that do their own children, or anybody would abuse such an Innocent child.


Unfortunately, child abuse is a very current topic. There are articles beyond articles on different children from everywhere getting abused. In Proquest, when I did research last week, there were pages of child abuse in the past two days. And in google news, as I just looked, there were tons of pages. There is just always something coming up about child abuse. I think this topic is so current because so many people have children at such young ages, and sadly, a lot of them do drugs. I believe that drugs or alcohol, being high or drunk, could have a big part child abuse, as well as anger issues. I really don't know why people abuse children, I have never been in the situation myself or seen it.


As I researched last week, I found that there were pages of different articles, in just two days. And as I just looked in google news, once again were pages and pages of links and articles that show how much young people are being abused by sometimes their own parents, and sometimes just by strangers.


I think that Child Abuse is suitability for ongoing research because it seems like it's always happening. Maybe not too too much on the television news, and maybe not so much here, as much other places, but there is always some issue with child abuse.


Giving that I chose child abuse for my topic, I don't think it should it be too challenging, because there are a lot of places where I could go to find articles from the day before, and sometimes even that same day you are researching it. But then again, it could also be very challenging because of all the information, it may end up being overwhelming.
