Prayers for a sexually abused child please...sm

I'm a foster parent and while at my foster child's psychologist appointment today there was a 9-year-old girl waiting for her appointment time and she looked the saddest of any child I've ever encountered. Right after I walked into the room this child looked at me and said "men stare at me." I then told her that perhaps it was because she was a pretty girl, and she went on to tell me that she was there because she had been sold for sex to men by her mom to support her mom's meth habit. She is now in protective custody and it was her caseworker who had brought her in to start psychotherapy. Things like this make me sick because this child's innocence was robbed all because her mother made poor decisions in life and sold her child to fulfill her own selfish desires. All I could do was assure her that she wasn't the bad person and that she was a good kid and that the people that did these things to her were bad, and that not all men want sex from girls. Please say a prayer for her. I don't know her name but God certainly does.

Go to NBC10.com - Our local news has "Wednesday's Child" which is a child for adoption.
Every Wednesday they introduce a child who needs a home and a family. There should be some information there as these kids are up for adoption.

Hope that helps!
WRONG! A child that has a fear of discipline = a well behaved child.
I have a beautiful, intelligent 11 year old daughter that hasn't had a spanking in 6 or 7 years and probably only 3 her entire life. She is very well behaved and I get compliments on her behavior constantly. When she does get out of line all I have to say is, "Shall I call your father?" Call it what you want, it works. She respects and obeys me and her father. Why??? For fear of the facing the consequences of misbehaving. Having a total lack of fear or respect for authority is exactly what's wrong with Generation X/kids today. I turned out just fine as did my siblings. Why?? Because my parents took "time out" to bust our a$$es whenever we got out of line.
Is that clear enough for you???
It's no big deal if QA is not abused, this is the key
KEY KEY KEY but too often QA is abused and expected to complete the work of an incompetent. I speak of the barely hireable here, not the professional MT. I'm talking about the person who was hired so the MTSO could say a penny.
Abused and overused
I feel the same way. I have 25+ years, and I am working harder than I did back then, and it seems like for less money!!!!
Way fishy! You're being used and abused. This is NOT
s
SS is abused now as people with "disabilities" are claiming more and more.
I know what SS is supposed to be used for, but I get angry at people who abuse the privilege to receive such money. It angers me that as I pay into this program I may not see it when I retire and *need it* while others are using it now for *disabilities*.
You cant have a 1 hour TAT and MTs have work. They are completely nuts. We are being used and abused
:
can you stand on your feet all day, be abused by better than thou customers, work for slave wages?
Thank you for your prayers.
We've never even actually met him in person, but he is my husbands best friend's only sibling and my husband's friend was going through such a horrible time waiting and wondering that he couldn't even go to work. We only wish everybody could have good news.
Thanks again.
Thanks, I need all the prayers I can
get! LOL.
asking for prayers
I just learned that my boss's daugher-in-law and grand-daughter were involved in a horrendous car accident. The DIL suffered many fractured bones, on top of a pre-existing MS condition. However, the grand-daughter may die, and even if she survives she will likely have severe brain damage.
Can those of who you believe in a high power keep this family in your thoughts and prayers?
PRAYERS
Just e-mailed your request to my church who has a prayer group that meets everyday and prays for the requests that are sent in. Have also sent a few of my own on the way. Hope all works out.

My prayers are with those who are dealing
with Hurricane Wilma. I'm catching bits and pieces on TV and, living in the midwest, I can't imagine the fear that must go through those who stay to ride it out. I would be terrified. God bless all of you.
You're in my prayers. You should know this is the most
dangerous time. Please get all the help of people around that you can! God Bless and God Speed!
Prayers are also needed
Hello: I will say a prayer for this precious little one. He is too young to suffer this way. I also need many prayers for a dear friend with Stage III ovarian cancer, who is undergoing chemotherapy and having a rough time, but has a loving family and is coming home today. It is not hopeless but need prayers.
I also need some prayers for my mother-in-law who is in the hospital with lymphoma and a severe blood infection. If anyone has some extra prayers please send them there way as they are lovely ladies and need a second chance. Thank you. Hope all of our prayers are answered.
Will definitely keep you in my prayers PAMT! nm

Sorry to hear about the DX, will keep you in my prayers. nm
Please send your thoughts and prayers...
Yesterday around 11:00 a.m., in a town near me, a guy went to the hospital where his ex-wife was a nurse, called her outside to talk to her, and shot her 5 times. She was flown to a bigger hospital nearby, but later died. They found him last night trying to cross the Canadian border.
There are 2 small girls involved (5 & 9) who can use all the prayers we can offer right now.
You're already in our thoughts and prayers,
and I am also making a donation to the Red Cross. May God watch over you.
Absolutely, sending prayers their way.

Are you the one with the ill child ???
If so, please realize that the stress of an ill child can be devastating to a marriage. Unfortunately many men deal with this kind of thing by drinking. My best friend in the world went through 4 yrs of fighting leukemia with her little boy who became ill at 12 months. Her husband turned into a total and complete jerk, drinking, and eventually becoming abusive to her. A major medical illness can pull people apart. On the other hand, it sometimes draws people together, but less often. I had our third child extremely premature and she was critically ill for 2 months and then spent another 2 months in the NICU, 4 months total. It was a big stress, but fortunately we weathered it okay. Some people are not so lucky. My first thought is that all this nonsense with your father, and his mother, and wills and money, and all the rest is just something to fixate on. It may very well NOT be the source of the current friction in your home and your marriage. Maybe some counseling if you can get him to go, would be in order. My best to you and your family.
It's no wonder--with a child like you...
your mother probably ripped her own uterus out, and that will be the one and only post to this person. It was just too easy!!
Why would you do that to your child?

New car for my child
My 17-year-old did get a new car for his birthday for several reasons: He has never given us a bad time about anything, he has a 4.2 GPA, and did a 2,210 on his SAT (the new SAT),is headed to the college he had his eye on for several years now (asked for and got early acceptance letter) and he has been working part-time since he was 14 years old.
We decided to get him a new car because he will need it for school (it's a few states away and we want him to have something dependable) and because he has really gone the distance and worked very hard to get to this point.
I'm really not bragging here, these are just our reasons. He didn't get a fancy racing car, just something that is nice and dependable and made us comfortable.
Anyone whose child has gotten the flu?
Symptoms of coughing, fever, chills and sweats, no appetite, hurts all over, sleepy. Grandson has been this way for 5 days, 2 visits to the doc, lost 2 lbs in 5 days (which for a little guy is a lot). X-rays show no pneumonia. What can we do? Any ideas gratefully appreciated.
