The sheriff I've been working with this last month, called me Thurs. morning to let me know my brother has been arrested on child pornography charges and various drug charges, including running a lab - -

The rest of my family isn't speaking to me - yet - - I'm sure they'll have a few choice words in time - -

I don't know whether to laugh, cry or vomit -
haven't slept more than an hour at a time for 3-4 weeks -
i'm a mess

BlueMoon I am sorry to hear that, however you did what you felt was best. And I commend you for that

Big Hugs
Trish

Blue - THANK YOU!!

They are our children, as nations, as human being's they are ours, they are mine and yours and we owe them all our protection. They are our blood, our young, our future, they cannot be someone else's - they are our children, regardless of colour, geography, accents, or clothing styles they are our kids.

thank you for protecting our children.

I agree. Well said Equus!

BlueMoon,

You did the right thing, and deep down inside you know it! I'm sure it doesn't make it easy and it hurts you by them being angry. But their anger is 'their' problem - not yours! Shame on them!!

If I were a parent, I'd give you a hug. Heck, I'll give you a hug anyway!! (((BlueMoon)))!!!

You did GOODD!!!

Blue Moon, I agree with eveyone. I am very proud of you
for taking such a stand......

Hey there Blue,

You did more than good. Having once been a child used and abused by pedophiles I know what it feels like to be out there all alone. I will never have enough words to tell you how much it would have meant to me if _anybody_ had cared enough to stop those monsters, if only for a day. What you did is priceless. You have made an enormous difference in the life of some kids who will never know you. All I can say is that in their name I thank you.

Mike :-)

Blue,
I admire what you've done so much. I've had 2 brothers involved in these kind of terrible crimes. One went thru a court case for child porn. The other molested my niece and fled the country.
I admire your courage and understand the pressure you're under from family. Mine is split because of their actions. Be proud of yourself, you know what you did was right and you will come through this with peace in your heart.
I don't know if I would have been so brave.

God works though people....

You are an instrument of change, for the good!

Well done.

Thank you for being an advocate for those who can't protect themselves. It was a very admiral thing to do.

thank you all for your support -
bravery/courage didn't have much to do with it -
pain, outrage + total disgust is closer to the truth i think -

found a copy of his local newspaper online - iffin ya wanna read about him - i'm in AWE of what one person having iron-clad boundaries can do -

This world could use more like you Blue..............

I hope soon you can rest and rest peacefully. IT shall all pass eventually. Sounds painful.

I truly hope that your family will come around to the realization that you did what they could not or would not do to HELP your brother and the ones he hurt. I am dealing with an alcoholic,bipolar,psycotic, sister right now who is hurting her grown children. I can't protect them anymore but I did what I had to do when they were younger and was at odds with my mother quite often. Listen to your inner voice and you will find peace in your actions regardless of what others will say.
My love and hugs go out to you in your time of turmoil.
I wish I had more to offer but what I am feeling can not be put into words. Just know I am with you and so is your higher power.

You are a Hero!!!!

You saved lives with your resolve. Children saved from abuse, lives saved from the horrors of drugs!!

I wish there were more people like you in the world. Hold your head high!!!!!

Prayers coming out for your peace of mind.

You saved countless lives and are an insspirition.:approve:

Blue: I am sorry you were put into this position, but you weren't the one that was doing anything wrong. I am sure it is very difficult all the way around for you. ((Blue))

I am sure you have helped many people by what you have done; ultimately maybe even your brother. I will keep you both in my prayers.

I am sorry you were put in a situation like this! Hugs to you.

Thank you for putting a stop to the child porn and for protecting the children. You are to be commended for that!!!!!!! I know he was only one person, but we must stop them one at a time and you my friend just put a stop to on. Thank You, Thank You, Thank you.

Give yourself a big pat on the back from me and take care of yourself. You should make yourself suffer for doing the RIGHT thing!!!

Be good to YOU today, ok!
