			<link>http://fosteringandadoptingolderchildren.yuku.com/topic/11340/t/Victims-hidden-from-view.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Over the years, there have been sensationalized stories of kidnap victims who were held prisoner, sometimes for years. (Even a book and movie...The Butterfly
Collector.) But there have been at least 3 horrific cases in the last year. What the heck?
<br>
<br>
Do y&#39;all follow these accounts? I am horror struck. But what really disturbs me is the almost inevitable conclusion I have drawn that these are only the
ones who have been discovered. How many other children and women are there out... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ The young man murdered as discussed in the article below was a middle school friend of DD.  He was a sweet kid with lots of friends, and scheduled to start
college yesterday, but instead his viewings started.  Tomorrow DD will be attending his funeral. 
<br>
<br>
When you read the second article, you really have to wonder what is going on in Metro Detroit Area.  I am glad that the article notes that there are no
barriers, racial, class, or otherwise to define why this may be happening so... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ First of all, I despise Michael Jackson for his pedophilia as well as other acts.
<br>
<br>
I think he has gotten away with many things. At most he is pitiable, but I don&#39;t have much pity for him.
<br>
<br>
I think Michael Jackson has never had to take responsibility for his actions. Now, even in his death, a lot of pressure is being placed to ensure he
doesn&#39;t have to take responsibility for the actions leading to his own death.
<br>
<br>
It doesn&#39;t matter that he was a musician.... ]]></description>
