" There but for the Grace of God go I" I have been told many times that both my brother and I were lucky to have survived our own childhood & young adulthood. Many people who suffer our trauma, better, or worse have such serious emotional and psycological defects that they self-destruct. Suicide, serious drug/alcohol addictions, murderer....it all is an end of self. I will look up some stats on sibling murder. It obviously is a tpoic we need more information on and education so we can help stop the problem. Oh yea…..I also wanted to add…..

However, the whole point of the show is that Dexter watched his mother brutally cut to pieces in front of him by a gangster. He was then left inside a railroad shipping crate in 2 inch deep blood for 3 days before he was found. It was due to this trauma that he was forever "corrupted". The detective that found him adopted him and somewhere in his young childhood he discovered that Dex showed signs of being a psycopath. By this time he loved him as his own and wanted to "channel" those thoughts and feelings either out of him or into a positive direction. Dex & his sister follow dad into law enforcement. Dex has a particular "savant" with blood spatter so he is in forensics while sis is in homicide. Dexter does go on to murder people. He can't seem to resist but, he follows a "creed" see forth by his dad when he chooses his victims. They are ALWAYS murderers themselves. (I know, doesn't make it right, or ok, just plain vigilante justice but one has conflicted feelings about Dexter killing a child murderer). I DO agree that this is not a show a child should be viewing, maybe not even adults, but at the heart of the show it really is about phsycology. It's almost an inside look at these people, how thier minds can work, as well as thier loved ones and how they might not even be aware. I think more to the point than this young man watched this show, we need to be asking what was happening or happened in his real life that caused such inner turmoil, anger, and self-destructiveness. We also need to ask why he felt it necessary to kill his young brother. Was it to hide something? Unbridled, misdirected rage? Why? Why? Jan;

It stated that the young man, 17 year old Andrew Conley, watched a TV program on Showtime called Dexter and that he has wanted to kill someone every since 8th grade. He also stood over his sleeping father with a knife thinking of killing him. I looked the TV program Dexter up and it's about a serial killer. Andrew said he acted like the killer in the TV program, he said he had to do it like a person has to have a hambuger, it just happened. It is very important what we allow and don't allow into our children's eyes and ears. The eyes and ears are the gateways to the heart. What we allow our children to see and listen to will condition their hearts. What we speak into our children will also condition their hearts. Depending on the conditioning of the heart is what we will speak out of our mouths and do with our hands. It is of great importance to teach and groom our own children and not allow others to have that responsibility by sitting our children in front of a TV un-monitor or listening to anything or anyone. It amazed me some years ago when I heard about the people who make certain shows and movies but don't allow their own children to watch them. Parenting has become a harder job now than ever. We as parents must stop allowing so many outside influences into our homes through TV, Games, Music, Internet, Cell Phones, Other People, etc. In the article I read on today posted on Verizons website was very detailed and very horrible.

THe family is a private family who are good people. Police don't ask questions that have already be answered. The family needs all the prayer they can get. The family's friends are setting up a memorial fund to help the mother with bills. I know the conley family, & it is horrible. THe family is a private family who are good people.

My heart goes out to all these children. I think that suddenly our attention has come to more of the missing and abused children in this world just with the cases we report about here. I don't know if it has always been this way and it has went unnoticed by the public or what but now we are noticing it more so I am trying my best to keep it in the public so more people are truly aware of the true danger our children are in these days if we aren't careful. We just need to be more aware and practice safety more with them. Alas it is up to us as parents to protect them Oh and I apologize for misspelling Nevaeh's name. I knew it was HEAVEN spelled backwards. I guess sometimes I get ahead of myself when I am typing. Thanks for pointing it out to me and I have fixed it on this article. God Bless!

To read about these babies is one thing... but, to have to report on the cases AND attend to your OWN emotions and feelings. But, I do KNOW WHY YOU DO IT!!! ***THANK YOU VERY MUCH*** Cent Jan,

A while ago, I had asked that little Nevaeh be remembered as I was saddened to see that there was barely any mention of this 5 year old child online. Nevaeh Buchanan was left alone to play outside & was taken by somebody, murdered & then encased in cement. But please note the correct spelling of her name should be: Nevaeh Buchanan. (Her first name is heaven spelled backwards & her last name ends with "AN" not an 'en.') R.I.P. Nevaeh Buchanan & all the other child victims.

I would also like it if you added to your prayer list all of those children who are being abused who we don't know about. It is such a huge problem. I too have wondered what this world is coming to. Is it getting worse or does it just seem like it because the Haleigh Cummings case got our attention? I was beginning to wonder if their were any decent people left in this world, but the very case that has opened my eyes to this huge problem has also shown me many great people who only want to help, Among those on that list are you and Simon. So I'd like to thank you both for being such good and caring people in such a harsh world. Jan,
