Then the sheriff began to describe all of the various examples that were described as abuse. <BR/>After telling me all of what they'd heard at school, one of my children then replied, with a Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5472287208924187505.post-34847991379372629382008-07-03T20:33:00.000-04:002008-07-03T20:33:00.000-04:00Pat:I need your help.
