Sandy Hook and the Texas 231

Now I am not minimizing the deaths of the children in Sandy Hook. As I wrote previously my eyes will never dry, but I would like to point something out. A statistic, if you will. Twenty babies lost their lives. Now folks, I have stopped reading the reports, stopped looking at the pictures because frankly, I just can't take it! I am weak! To stare into to face of a six year old girl who was shot eleven times with an assault rifle is beyond my ability to accept.

But, I want to show you something, and after I do I'll assure you that you will never be the same. Twenty. Maybe one classroom. All babies, all dead. I have seen a mass shooting. I saw Luby's in Killeen, Texas. And people, it ain't like in the movies. If you ever see what a gun can do to an adult human body you will lose your soul. You will no longer be human because that is the most pungent imposition of PTSD you will ever see! Now, imagine its a child. I won't give you the details because honestly, you can't stand it. It will make you crazy.

But think about the number twenty. Now, imagine seven classrooms. All of the children in those rooms. Picture all of them laid out in the hallway covered with sheets. The total number would be 231. Suppose there was a daycare facility also so the ages range from six months to about eight years. Got that visualization? Ok, that's how many children were killed just this year while in foster care courtesy of the CPS!

And you rarely hear about it. When it does get reported the "department" quickly absolves itself, dodges phone calls and disappears. But that's a real number people. That's not Alex Jones conjuring up fictitious globalists firing up FEMA camps in the desert, or some gun nut screaming that SWAT teams are going to kick in your door for your grandpa's shot gun, that is a real number from a real report put out by the state of Texas.

When a madman storms into a school we are all shocked. We resolve to do something about guns, school security, mental illness, but ultimately we are not personally responsible for the event. But when we allow a criminal organization that we pay for with our tax dollars to murder over and over and over again we are responsible. Each and every one of us takes responsibility for every one of those 231 children. And I haven't seen anyone doing a press conference wiping a politically correct tear out of his eye.

Christmas Lights for Angels

As Christmas approaches everyone's hearts turn toward family. Separation Anxiety sets in. For many it is the separation of those in the Armed Services, Collage or simply those who live elsewhere that can not make it home for Christmas. Then there's the ones who've been separated through divorce or death. The ones that I hurt most for are those separated by the Child Protective System.

These are the people who hurt most this time of year. Not only do they stress over the separation, but also where are the children. Are the children in a truly safe environment? Are their needs being met? How bad are they hurting and longing for their parents?

For this reason, we seek to build awareness to a very broken system. Close to half of the children in foster care do not belong there. More often than not they are there because some overworked, understaffed, underfunded agency chose to "Error on side of caution." These families are forever damaged. They need our prayers.

On December 15, 2012, buy "Glow" sticks, necklaces and other products to wear and display on this evening. Wear them around you necks. Hang them from your car mirror. The mirror of your motorcycle. Please help build awareness.

Color Graph:
BLUE - No case but recognizes the CPS system is in need of repair.
GREEN - Have had a case & successfully gotten out of the system.
YELLOW - Currently working Safety Services
ORANGE - Children in Temporary Custody.
PINK - Children permanently removed without terminating parental rights.
RED - Parental Rights Terminated, Child eligible for adoption.
(These colors are available at Party City and Walmart)

When we first chose to do this we wanted it to be a bit of a color graph to show the stages of involvement. This does not have to be. I personally have purchased several of the 8-pack assorted light sticks from Walmart for $2.98/pack. Necklaces are 97¢ and bracelets are 3 for 97¢. The cost is almost nothing.

We have been promoting this internationally as a Facebook event:

In Houston we are planning to gather downtown at:

Harris County Jury Plaza
1201 Congress
Houston Texas

A few other cities are planning events but I have not gotten conformation on locations. We do ask that should you participate. Please take pictures and post them to the "Angel Eyes over Texas" fan page.

Thank you for your support.
