 trigger: What would you do? January 02, 2007 8:34 AM

What would you do?

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

This is suppose to every little girls life.

What happens when life is not like that?

What if your life is filled with constant abuse by the people who suppose to protect you?

For little Katelynn of Indiana, her life is filled with this from a father, stepmother and father's family; everyone but her the relatives that love her have been deined the ability to see her.

What happens when the police will not stop this?

Than try Child Protection Service, but they will not stop this either.

The next thing to do is go to the court.

What would you do if the Child Protection Services and the court helped the abusers hurt her?

The media might work but they ignore majority of average people.

In this search for help, several politicians ignored or said stop bothering them.

If these people will not help little katelynn than who will?

Will this little girl have to pay the ultimate price for these adults mistakes?

Now what will you do?

This Indiana's Shame and these are  Teardrops for Katelynn

For every failure, there's an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

where exactly is an artical or written explantion of what happened February 25, 2007 1:38 PM

I just wonder how this problem has go on this long.  Who abused her?

What role did the parents play if any? (why are the police keeping them from their daughter?) 

I have been abused for a long part of my life and if I can help another I will.

Please someone let me know for this name has been on care2 a long time.

If someone knows where the information lies tell me.

Michael concerned about all children and wanting abuse of all kinds to stop now!

Katelynn's abuse has gone on her entire life. She is being abused by her father and stepmother. All the legal officials won't get involved because her father and step mother have become wealthy, at least were we live, and influential. It seems the only I will be able way to ever see katelynn again is with a very good attorney from Indiana. All of indiana's people who were suppsed to stop this didn't because I was one person.

I signed the petition....it's awful to know nobody has done anything for this dear girl.

You ask what would I do...the question in my mind is what wouldn't I do for this child...everything is my answer to your question.
