I think that people need to do what feels right. And in this situation, clearly there was more to the story that just a little girl who wandered out of the house. That family involved everyone in the neighborhood with their issues when you all had to help her little one find her way back home. Good for you for deciding to stick your neck out and making sure that the police had all the relevant information. I hope that some help goes their way and the kids end up with a happier situation in the end.

You did the right thing and for now there is no more you can do.

I’ve always believed that the hardest things to do are the things that are most right. You may have saved a family.

It IS your responsibility now. Now that you know, you can watch, and invite.

Maybe it WAS nothing, but there is nothing lost from your involvement. If there is truly nothing wrong, maybe they will become your best friends. If there IS something wrong, every interaction with you and your family may be one of the shreds of normality they get. That may be the what the children will remember when they are older as the bright spots in their dark lives. You understand that. It can be you.

All I can say is “It takes a Village” By Hillary Clinton. We all have to take responsibility for the sake of children.

I just lost my comment in the ether, know not why! But the gist of my comment is that your writing is wonderful and so very evocative. I have done the similar thing myslef with gut wrenching pains to guid eme and tell me it was right. An adult can one hopes defend oneslef a child has no voice. I commend you for doing the right thing. a well deserved POTD form David, he is heaven sent in bringing us such wonderful talented bloggers. Which we would normally miss out on…

well done

most people just ignore their gut when it tells them to do something, so much easier to do nothing. you did the right thing. i heart you for that, and for all you’ve been through.
