there are things I know that I don’t understand…..firstly, minds will probably never be changed in this mess; either you’re for it or against it, there is no gray area……Joe was never the “Witness” and was only the receiver of MMc’s testimony; in court, Joe’s opinion would be considered “hearsay”……to send this testimony up the line, so to speak, I can’t believe people blame Joe for inaction or insensitivity…..AND, it’s a BIG AND, in my dealings with Child Welfare Org. and the Welfare system in general, you had better be the witness to a situation or they will ignore you and probably most importatantly of all, the Laptop Anonymous out there that espouse that they would have “jumped into the shower and rescued the boy or would have called in the police”, let me tell you a little tale of stats that show that most people/witnesses don’t do anything at all since most are so horrified that they cannot function properly and don’t report. Unless you are engaged in the exact situation, please don’t tell me about how you would react. This is not an apology, these are the factual stats…..some of you know me from the BSD and some of you know me, period. My sig says it all—-I don’t bullsh*t anyone. And another thing I do know, my staements are not going to change anyone’s opinions. All I do know is that I always believed Joe, because I knew him to be a man of integrity…..I could go on, but…..
