Damage Control & An Apology

I had written today about Connie Bedwell and Darrel Payne speaking out on video, thanking the public and speaking directly to Aaliyah and about Aaliyah.

I was not aware that there were so many mistakes with what Wayanne had wrote along side of her video where she is explaining her advocacy for Connie. I cannot with good conscious link to Wayanne's page until all the mistakes are fixed. I am not sure if she is getting cases mixed up with Connie's, but the restraining order is not about Connie not being allowed to see Aaliyah although it restricts her from contacting her, the main purpose described in the restraining order is to not allow Connie to post on the Internet. It's clear it's a violation of her civil rights of free speech and doesn't fall under any grounds of a harassment RO. Connie has not had any contact with Dustin since 50/50 custody where Dustin tried to manipulate Connie into not taking Aaliyah to the hospital two weeks prior to Aaliyah's disclosure of "Daddy's Worm" being in her mouth. We all know that the RO was put in place to control Connie and to stop her from disclosing what Aaliyah has said about her father. There are several statements in Wayanne's video that are untrue as well. Connie did not give her permission to post some of those videos, and Darrel had no idea that one of them was even being used to be posted but was under the impression it was to test the camera shot.

This case also is not about money nor never has been. For a year now, people who have been supporting Connie and Aaliyah have tried to make it clear that if people chose to donate money to help with obtaining and then keeping legal counsel then it was appreciated. It clearly states on saveaaliyah.com that what was needed was a lawyer, psychologist or any person of authority that could give advice or their help in any way shape or form. I have a copy of The check of where that money went and it went straight to Connie's attorney fighting to get Aaliyah out of "Daddy's worm" care.

I hope that Wayanne will fix these mistakes, but until then I am not linking to her page for I know how much the truth, facts and intricate details mean to Connie and her case. Facts are facts, let's keep them straight for Aaliyah's sake.

Thank you and I apologize for any inconvenience,

Breaking the Silence - Children's Stories

I came accross this website and program while talking with a follower of my Twitter page. Everytime that I say that stories such as Connie Bedwell's, Kaylee's and the others I have written about happen everyday; I always have a commentor telling me I am incorrect. I am not wrong.

These stories are not something I like to read about. I have to force myself to do so, because I know how horrific these children have either been abused or abused to death and after reading/watching it's hard for me to concentrate on anything else. I force myself to read/watch them in order for me to be educated on the affects of child abuse. I want to educate you, my readers, that we all have voices. We are all voices for these children and protective parents. Two voices are more powerful than 10,0000 voices in silence. The court system is allowing documented domestic violent abusers to gain custody of their children. This is apalling to me. It infuriates me. Just watch one video on Youtube in memorium of any child that has endured and ultimately lost their life to child abuse and tell me that WE have nothing to do with these situations. Watch Baby P's videos. Watch Kelsey Smith Briggs' videos. They are heart-breaking and traumatic. Educate yourselves, please.

Stand up and DO something for these families, especially for the children who are NOT being heard.

Thank you.

Troy
