It is beyond belief that this young teenager, kidnapped in
her own home October 15, had the will and the intelligence to figure out
how to get away from the monster who kidnapped her and killed her
parents. Kudos, of course, to law enforcement who kept the story alive
and kept looking with their ever present professionalism. Thanks to the
public for having Jayme's face etched in their minds so that when the
time came the rescuers -- a woman walking her dog and a man and woman in
their home -- knew who she was and brought this young battered woman to
safety.
How
important is it for those who own homes and/or have children to trust
no one for whom to open their doors unless they are sure they know who
it is. In Jayme's case this beast kicked in the door, shot her parents
and kidnapped an adolescent. One can only do what is humanly possible.
We see every day in our weapon saturated society how important it is to
transmit to your children never to go with anyone they do not know and
the ones they do know are deemed trustworthy. I am sickened when I
think of the violence this innocent young girl endured. I am afraid to
listen to the entire story. I am nearly sure there existed indecent
assault. I hope against hope this is not so.
The government shutdown because of Trump's desire, which
changes depending on the second he exudes it, for a fake wall of lies
costing cheap money not paid for by Mexico and will do nothing to stop
the latest boogeyman from seeking the safety of asylum in a nation known
for its diversity. It is eminently important now to take one's safety
into their own hands and be always vigilant. There is need for more
attention to be paid by the general public to ensure their own welfare
as, for example, TSA airport security call in sick because of a sick
president's demand of a wall on the southern border experts say is not
needed and will not work.
Jayme
Closs gave us the good news an American public starving for some good
news needed. Thank you, Jayme. May her days from this moment be filled
with moments of joy she so richly deserves, may the so called president
suffer the loss for his border wall experts say is mendacious folly and
may the government open up returning federal workers to jobs with pay
that keep our nation safe.
