And I want to say thank you Carrie for taking good care of her and showing her the love she deserves. Thank you for battling and struggleing to get her out of foster care. That was not a place for her, nor for Tim and I. Its sad to think that about it this way but I think she was better off in your care then my parents. They are good parents and they mean well but I think Heather may have been to much to handle for them. Sorry for rambling I just wanted to say thank you!

I don't care what act has been passed or what B.S. about restraints how the Hell is this place still operating? MURDERERS I remember what you did I remember your names and faces. God will judge you cowards and in the end they will pay for your crime.

This topic is usually brushed under the carpet. Did you know that not every state has protections in place against the use of restraints. I was flabbergasted when our school district tried to impliment restraints in my sons IEP. There is a National organization who is trying to get Federal laws passed pertaining to restraints. Please check them out at http://tash.org/ Thanks for writing about this. This topic is usually brushed under the carpet.
