Heartbreaking

Not sure how many of you have heard this, but I've been devasted by it since it came out last week.

In short, (I recommend the link) a grandmother is accused of locking up her 13 year-old son in a dog kennel 4 times a week for 11 hours at a time for the past 3 years. She stated that she did this to protect him from being on the streets while she was at work.

Commerce City is not too far away from me and knowing that something this horrific was happening to a good kid is terrifying. The neighbors never suspected anything nor did the family. This only came out because someone overheard this boy telling another child about it and the eavesdropper told his mother who contacted the authorities.

I love my children far above anything else. You cradle them in your arms at their birth knowing that there could never be anything else greater happen in your world, and then you have another child, reliving the experience all over again. Mistreating children, when they are a wondrous gift from our Maker is unforgivable. I hope this woman fries in Hell and her years in jail are full of violence and maltreatment.

Lord, heal this boy and let him know that there are many of us out here who are concerned for him.

You're in the wrong post, but anyway; it's called microwave Internet. If you Google it you can probably find a local provider. It's far cheaper than satellite and I didn't have to pay for any equipment.
