I found this Dear Abby Interesting...

DEAR ABBY: My son was killed in a car accident five years ago. His wife, who was pregnant at the time, gave birth to a beautiful baby boy a few months later.

Last month, I received a phone call from a woman we barely know who told me -- very politely -- that she had a "surprise" for me. She then informed me that I have another grandchild, a little girl! She claims my son got her granddaughter pregnant six years ago, and that she had the DNA checked to prove my son was the father. Needless to say, my wife and I were floored.

Abby, I don't know how to react. My wife, who is level-headed, told me not to react right now and to think things through. Do I go to this grandchild with open arms? It doesn't feel right. The child's mother has not reached out to us at all. I need your help. -- MAN WITH NO PLAN IN NEW YORK

DEAR MAN WITH NO PLAN: Your wife is an intelligent lady. I, too, find it odd that you would be contacted -- five years after your son's death -- by someone other than the child's mother. The person you should go to "with open arms" is your attorney. If there is DNA evidence, your attorney can help you determine if it's authentic and what your next move should be. Because you have not heard from the mother, you should not approach the child unless you have first made certain your attention is welcome.

RAPIST AND CHILD KILLER RELEASED FROM PRISON AFTER 47 YEARS...

A McHenry County man convicted of raping and murdering a 3-year-old girl he was baby-sitting in 1962 has been freed from state custody for the first time in nearly 48 years.

Gary Welsh, 70, was released today when a McHenry County judge agreed to a long list of strict conditions under which Welsh must live.

Welsh will be required to stay in a Rockford apartment found for him by the state, and cannot leave except for sex offender treatment or other approved activities.

Welsh cannot operate a vehicle or visit schools, parks, theaters or bars. He also cannot own a home computer, go online, view pornography or use alcohol or drugs.

Any violation could land him back in state custody.---http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/

MySpace.com Employee Charged With Flashing Two Women

A Myspace.com employee with a history of publicly exposing himself has been charged for flashing two women, one of them on a CTA Brown Line train, authorities said.

Douglas Sale, 36, of the 1100 block of Corrigan Street in west suburban Elburn, was charged today with two counts of misdemeanor public indecency/lewd exposure, according to Chicago police.

Police say that Sale flashed two women on March 31. The first involved a 25-year-old woman who told police a man exposed himself and inappropriately touched himself while looking at her aboard a Brown Line train at about 3:40 p.m., according to a police news release.

Authorities also believe that, several hours later, Sale called out to a 28-year-old female bicyclist in the 1200 block of West North Shore Avenue in the city's Roger Park neighborhood. The biker saw the offender exposing and inappropriately touching himself while standing between two buildings, police said.

Detectives from the Belmont Area began an investigation that led back to Sale, who turned himself in to police Wednesday afternoon.

The incident occurred exactly a week after Sale pleaded guilty to the same charges in Cook County court and was sentenced to three months of court supervision, according to court records.

The new charges also come exactly one year to the day that Sale's public indecency case in Kane County ended, court records state. Sale pleaded guilty in the 2006 case, that also ended with court supervision.

Particular details on those cases weren't available.

A spokeswoman for Myspace, a popular social networking site, confirmed that Sale was an employee, but declined further comment, saying company officials were "looking into the facts immediately."

Sale's profile on Linkedin.com states that he has worked as a "search architect" for Myspace since September 2007 after working for eight years at Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc.--http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/

MAN SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON FOR SEXUAL ABUSE OF HIS DAUGHTER FROM AGE 7 TILL 13 (She became pregnant at 13)

A man who sexually abused his daughter from age 7 until she became pregnant at 13 was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without parole – the same penalty for committing capital murder.

The tough sentence is one of a handful of convictions in Dallas County in the last year under a 2007 law that allows a minimum of 25 years in prison without parole when prosecutors can prove that an attacker sexually abused a victim younger than 14 twice within 30 days.

Usually, a life sentence does carry the possibility of parole.

No one appears to have known that the man wasn't the girl's biological father until DNA tests performed before the trial proved they weren't related by blood.

The man, 35, is not being identified to protect the identities of his daughters, now ages 14 and 12. The girls now live in foster care with the baby, who was born in July. The man had also begun to molest his younger daughter when she was 10 or 11, according to testimony.

The girls' foster mother said she was happy with the decision by state District Judge Robert Burns to sentence the father to life without parole but added that it didn't ease his daughters' suffering. They have lived with her for six months.

"Even the time he's going to be there [in prison] is not going to fix the damage he did," she said. "He damaged them. They're never going to have a normal, normal life."

Authorities learned of the abuse at the Rowlett home when the younger daughter told a counselor last year about her sister's pregnancy. She testified that she once saw her sister on top of her father in bed, covered by a blanket.

The father once gave the older daughter a puppy and let her have her nails done in exchange for sex, according to testimony.

"She would act like she was the wife," the younger girl said of her sister during frequently tearful testimony. "My sister was pregnant by my dad. I thought she would tell except she wouldn't." --http://www.dallasnews.com/

SWEET DREAMS--My Best Friend 12---In search of......

My best friend's marriage only lasted a few years and she changed her mind about having a child with her husband.I often went over to visit her after she moved into an apartment right down the street from my childhood home.This was after the death of my adoptive parents and I had broken up for good with my boyfriend.He and I became just friends and I was drifting in and out of relationships.At one point I had even started seeing a psychiatrist and grew quite fond of him and to my surprise he felt the same way about me,but he drowned while on vacation one summer and I was devastated.My best friend Bernice was there for me through all of the really crappy stuff that I suffered through during the 80's and very early 90's.I would often go over and confide in her about everything and anything no matter how terrible or embarrassing it was, she never judged me and she  always patiently listened to me no matter what time of day or night that I needed to talk.I know that I would have literally lost my mind if not for her friendship and support.I was so shocked and taken off guard when her marriage fell apart.She and her husband had eventually moved out of their apartment into their own home.Their house was big with plenty of space and I thought that everything was going good until one day, I stopped by to visit and her husband had moved out.She told me that he had gotten to the place where he felt that since she was making more money than he, that she should be responsible for paying all of the bills.He was gambling all of his earnings away and sticking her with ALL of the bills,including the mortgage.She said that she was fed up and kicked him out.Shortly after that she decided to move to Rantoul and I would only see her when she would come to town to visit her parents.She always asked me to come and visit her there and I always said that I would and never did get the chance.She had met an older man and had remarried.She and I talked during one of her visits to see her parents and she seemed to be happy.But sometime after that tragedy struck my best friend once again and her husband died of a heartache while they were on the road traveling back to our hometown, he was driving.Her oldest son had also been sentenced to prison for murder or attempted murder, I can't really remember which.I don't remember her last married name so this makes my search for her kind of difficult.Since her Dad has passed away,I'm going to go back and look up his obituary and find her current name in his relatives listings and go from there.I sure hope that she is doing great and that I can find her.She is still the kindest soul I know and I really want to find her again......

MAN ACCUSED OF ROBBERY AND RAPE OF 69 YEAR OLD ELDERLY MAN TURNS DOWN PLEA DEAL....

A Saudi national accused of the brutal rape and robbery of an older man he picked up at a Manhattan nightclub turned down a plea deal Wednesday.

That means Naief Al-Mateiry, 28, is headed to trial and faces a possible 25-year sentenCe on charges of burglary, kidnapping and aggravated sex abuse for allegedly attacking a 69-year-old man in February 2009.

Al-Mateiry is being represented by three high-powered lawyers, and the Saudi government tried unsuccessfully to bail him out. A judge ordered him held at Rikers.

Prosecutors say Al-Mateiry was invited back to the victim's W. 99th St. apartment, where he beat him with a hanger, stole $60 and three watches, and raped him twice.

In between the assaults, the defendant allegedly forced the man to go to an ATM machine and take out more than $1,000.

"If you go to the police or [the] club again you're done," the alleged thug threatened his victim, according to documents.

"I know where you live. I'll hurt you."

31 YEAR OLD MAN LURED A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL TO A MOTEL WHERE HE RAPED HER..

By Chris Cannon

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Metro Police arrested 31-year-old Samuel Dorsey last weekend after he allegedly lured a 17 year old girl to a Madison Motel. He told the girl he was a photographer and then raped her.

Police said Dorsey met the girl several days earlier at the Kroger where she worked.

"He proceeded to tell her he was a professional photographer and then played upon her hopes and dreams," said Metro Police spokesperson Kristin Mumford.

After meeting with the victim several times, police said Dorsey finally convinced the teenager to meet him for a photo shoot.

"Which turned into a terrible, despicable crime against her," said Mumford.

While behind closed doors at the Gallatin Pike motel, police reports claim Dorsey took pictures of the girl and then raped her. She only got away after friends came to her rescue.

"They actually broke down the door and were able to make entry. The victim was able to escape, and then he was taken into custody," explained Mumford.

Police said it was the victim's boyfriend who tackled Dorsey once inside the room and held him until police officers arrived.

Rape educator Jennifer Cantrell said Dorsey fits a particular profile.

"Groomers are very good at what they do," said Cantrell.

A groomer is someone who first befriends his victim, and they often do it more than once.

"It's something that they practice again, and again and again. It's very likely there are many more of his victims out there," said Cantrell.

Metro Police know that is the case. ---http://www.newschanel5.com/

THE AFTER MATH OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE (by Dennis Thompson Jr.)

People who were sexually abused as children may have issues with sexual dysfunction and self-destructive behavior when they get older. Sexual abuse leaves many scars, creating feelings of guilt, anger, and fear that haunt survivors throughout their lives. Adults who have undergone sexual abuse as children commonly experience depression and insomnia. High levels of anxiety in these adults can result in self-destructive behaviors, such as alcoholism or drug abuse, anxiety attacks, and situation-specific anxiety disorders. The damage extends to the sexual abuse survivor's sense of their own sexuality. Many survivors also have trouble pursuing adult relationships and enjoying sex as an adult. The abuse can color a person's sexuality, preventing the survivor from pursuing a healthy sex life with a loving partner. Sexual Abuse and Sexual Behaviors In general, childhood sexual abuse survivors tend to either pursue sex recklessly as adults or to forgo sex completely, says Stephen L. Braveman, MA, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Monterey, Calif., and the western regional representative of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "They typically wind up with splitting behavior, where things become very black and white," he says. "Either they are very sexually active, or they shut down sexually." www.everydayhealth.com

SWEET DREAMS 4 -My fourth Entrie

Monday, July 6, 2009 Sweet Dreams 4 I remember back in June of 94,I was married to my 2nd abusive husband and pregnant with my now 14 year old son.Nicole Brown Simpson had been murdered.This sent a real chill down my spine.I can remember thinking,now her kids are left without a mother..But,I still remained in my abusive marriage for a little while longer.However,I did separate from him before my son was born.Of course this was not our first seperation.....ya,know the victim most always goes back to her abuser..You know the drill...'I'M Sorry' it won't happen again...Anyway on to Clue #3 CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR...The abuser wants to know your every move...if you arrive home late from an appointment or work,the abuser will become angry and accuse you of seeing someone else.The abuser at this point is very irrational.Trying to defend your actions or trying to reason with the abuser at this point can be very exhausting, to say the least.The abuser will want to control everything from what you wear,to where you go, to whom you talk too.Are you starting to wake up?Well,THERE'S EVEN MORE...AND IT GETS MORE SERIOUS AS WE GO ALONG...

SWEET DREAMS-THREE'S A CROWD

I can remember having the very misguided feeling of being special and ooh so loved,because my husband was so insanely jealous.I was foolish and naive enough to think that this was cute.I was 17,the first time I got married...of course,it was against my adopted parents better judgement.But,you already know...that of course, I did not listen to them.So many women feel unrealistically flattered by the potential abusers jealousy.WAKE UP! You are headed in a DANGER ZONE! I must also mention that,I have suffered from depression my whole life..So,of course this added to my insecurities and acceptance of allowing myself to be a victim time and time again for years..I must say when my 21 yr. old daughter started dating her soon to be abuser..I could do something that,I could not do each time I met one of my future abusers..It was if I had some kind of a built in radar..something that I did not have concerning my abusive relationships.He may as well have been wearing a label because I could see right through him.He absolutely,terrified me.I tried over and over again to warn my daughter to no avail.She stayed in the relationship.I could tell exactly when she was starting to see the REAL person that she too quickly became involved with..Which brings me to #2)QUICK INVOLVEMENT! That Worldwind Wanna Be Romance.The potential abuser comes on strong "You are the only one for me" or "you are the only person that I can trust or talk to"..Many abusers propose in less than six months.Potential abusers will often put pressure on their victims for commitment...to the point that the victim may feel guilty if they want to slow down the relationship.This is yet another important clue..PAY ATTENTION! If these two very important clues are not enough Believe me THERE ARE MORE!

MY SECOND SWEET DREAMS ENTRY

Sunday, July 5, 2009 Sweet Dreams Too First,I would like to say the feelings of hopelessness and just sheer low self esteem can cause a woman to feel so worthless,that she feels somehow it is her fault that her partner is abusive to her.These feelings are Totally Untrue.Please,Please do not listen to these negative feelings.If you have a trusted family member or friend..Please confide in them and let them be a strong source of support.You CAN NOT CHANGE HIM! You are waisting valuable time,if you try.I know that I felt for years, like it was my fault..I thought 'It must be my fault,if I keep attracting these kinds of guys".If you do not have a friend or family member,talk to your family doctor.If this is not an option call 1-800-559-safe.I know that a lot of women stay in the relationship because of finances and their children or both.Especially today,in these hard economic times.It can be difficult.But,your life is priceless..just remember that.If you have young children,they desperately need you.For those of you that would like to know what to look for, as far as WARNING SIGNS..TO VIOLENT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR..# 1)EXTREME JEALOUSY! He will tell you especially in the beginning of your relationship,that his jealousy is because he loves you so much..you are the best thing that has ever happened to him.He doesn't want lose you.WATCH OUT!

SWEET DREAMS (The beginning of this blog)

This blog is dedicated to women survivors of domestic violence.I was a victim of domestic violence for years.It is behind me now but,it recently touched my 21 year old daughter's life.All of the signs were there and I saw them and I desperately tried to warn her about them.But,of course she would not listen to me.Her ex-boyfriend recently set our house on fire as we were sleeping.The Lord awoke my daughter in time for her to alert us all(my husband & my two teenaged sons)we were able to escape without harm and our house was not very badly damaged.I have since installed a home security system.We all are still terrified because he was never arrested for the aggravated arson.The police did not have prove that he did it.Even though he posted a photo of himself,posing with a lighter burning,on a social network.My daughter has a 2yr. protection order against him.He violated it with telephone calls,he was arrested for this and he does have to go to court for it.In my blog I will list telltale signs of a potentially abusive person.I hope that I can help someone out there avoid becoming a victim of domestic violence.

MANHUNT IN PEORIA (published ALLVOICES) by me win59

On Tuesday Morning November 16th,my husband and I awoke to the startling news of two inmates escaping from the Peoria County Jail sometime between Monday 8:00pm and Tuesday 6:30am. James Fuller 44 and Aaron Cook 28 had managed to escape from the roof.The two had tied sheets together to lower themselves from the rooftop of the jail.(it was like something out of a movie) Fuller had been digging his escape thru the roof for well over a year.Aaron Cook had been in jail since March for breaking the arm of a 3 year old girl.James Fuller an unemployed felon,already convicted of armed robbery and rape was accused of attacking the same woman twice(I & my husband remember reading about the attack in our local newspaper)He is described as a very scary character.Police warned the public that Fuller is to be CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.But,what really made this very scary for me personally,was the fact that he was tracked down to the very neighborhood in which I live.Aaron Cook was captured several hours after the two escaped.He was found hiding in the basement of a residence and two people were arrested for obstructing justice.But,Fuller was still at large.Just blocks away,Fuller broke into a resident's home,tied him up and robbed him,taking a vehicle and a cell phone.Around 7:00 pm he reportedly left the stolen vehicle in a High School parking lot(he was in my area now).The police tracked the cell phone to an area that is like 2 blocks from my house! I was a paranoid mess and I can imagine the fear his victims must have felt upon the news of his escape.He was out there somewhere the entire night.Police finally captured him in a vacant house,where he reportedly surrendered without a struggle(he had left my area).It is reported that Serial Rapist James Fuller 6'3 and 225 lbs. was a patient at Zellers Mental Health Center(now closed down) 20 years ago,when he overpowered a worker and escaped(he was 24 yrs. old) he was at large for 5 days.He was a sixteen year old basketball star when he was first charged with rape,it is reported.But,thanks to the Peoria Police Department and local authority's James Fuller Serial Rapist and Man Of Terror is back behind bars!
