Oh. I didn't realise your grandmother was in the social services too. You girls were trapped by a web of people. Believe me, there are those in that industry the do care. I'm so sorry Lea.

I appreciate that hug thank you very much! I sometimes forget what those feel like but so nice and yet so unfamiliar sometimes. I am no doubt there are those in social services that care this. I don't doubt at all. I can't judge the whole lot by a couple of people's actions. Although I do think some changes are in order. I believe a lot of them have been made already since the history runs back a way. Thank you for your kindness.
I'm for your level headed thinking!
Comment from T B Botts
Oh my word Lea,
even if you wanted to go to the authorities, the cards were stacked against you. How very awful. I can't imagine being a young person and having to deal with all the crap that you and your sisters had to endure. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I hope the writing helps.
Have a blessed evening gal.

Hi Tom, yes, thank you. It does help. It's going to expose something without pointing fingers and.
And if it eats, feel a little bit of shame sounds good. However, I have this used as like a teaching tool. Things to watch out for things to avoid. I hope that helps someone for sure and I thank you again Tom!!
Comment from LJbutterfly
I'm glad you listed the key players in the determination of what to do about the three young girls. The theme speaks loud and clear. There are four people involved in a "cover up." I'm disappointed that none of them tried to find you and help you when you were struggling in the woods. I'm afraid this is going to become worse than we can imagine. You are still in a kind of wilderness.

Yes It is only now at my age that I begin to realize the great danger that we're in. Thank you so much again I do appreciate you all your thoughtful remarks! You nailed it in your comments. Thank you again!
Comment from damommy
I think at that time you were getting a feeling that all was not right with this bunch. I can't imagine what's next, but I think it will be revealed that these people were conniving and dishonest. I don't think you're going to get the good treatment and home you hoped for.

Yes, you are right indeed any freedom that I gained in my life. I've had to make for myself by force. Thank you so much for offering your thoughts. You're so very close.
I touched on more revelations. Gaining knowledge as it got them growing up. I didn't realize happened how much danger we were in. I think it's probably shouldn't have thought about it too much at that time. I would have panicked for sure, thank you so much for your review your kind words and you're sleeping very smart once again I thank you for hanging out with me on this journey. I'm for throwing your interest on you thoughts and ideas. Hope you have a great day!

Lea,
I applaud you for your ability to write about what must have been like living in a nightmare. You are a courageous person and I want you to know that your are valued and appreciated. Message me your email address and I will send you copies of each of the poems noted below.
All the best,
Eugene
Here's how I see you:
Heavenly Light
Like starlight's first tender caress foretold
A little child of light, with a heart of gold,
You're an extraordinary treasure to behold
Heaven sent to inspire both young and old,
Like a delicate rainbow of exquisite beauty
One as carefree as laughter's cheerful duty,
You're a miracle awaiting your special day
One that will surely take your breath away,
Like a tiny caterpillar's breathtaking change
Happiness' shall break your somber chains,
You're an amazing woman of joy from above
Strong and confident, yet as gentle as a dove,
Like love's most timely cherished heartstring
Heavenly blessings to you shall stillness bring,
You're a light who truly illuminates this world
A majestic tapestry made ready to be unfurled,
Like a brilliant rainbow enlightening the sky
A gleam to lift the spirit of a heart gone awry,
You're a blessed forever born phrase of peace
Till every soul's inner pain shall finally cease,
Like a smile animated by a fluffy feather's tickle
With a wisdom years beyond that's never fickle,
You're a courageous woman of humble grace
Born to dance, in paradise's eternal embrace.
"A Pure Heart"
Joy expressed from the heart
Is the greatest gift we can share
Born of love which we impart
One that shows others we care
Every day a reason for giving
Help to every outstretched hand
And giving is the key to living
To every living soul that we can
In their greatest time of need
Give a little of 'yourself' away
Remember this thoughtful deed
Not just today but every day
A caring word that uplifts
To another human being's cry
In life, it is the rarest of gifts
A part of us we cannot deny
It is a special gift to give
Of a pure and loving heart
And a blessing to all who live
As the joy that you impart
Given freely will revisit you
And surely reward you in kind
For it's a promise that is true
Of infinite peace of mind
"Sparkle"
Brilliant glow of everlasting light
Colorful rainbows shining bright
Daydreams of new ideas in flight
Soaring high to the highest height
For you will never cease to sparkle
Shining like peaceful moonbeams
On seas of heartwarming dreams
Life's hopes within forever gleam
Of life and love enduring themes
For you will never cease to sparkle
Glisten like the sun in a golden sky
A subtle twinkle in her inviting eye
Mirror feelings of joy deep inside
Beguiling all who quietly pass by
For you will never cease to sparkle
A kindhearted spirit who truly cares
Sharing a world with someone dear
With a heart full of delight and tears
And faith to follow all of your years
For you will never cease to sparkle
And through all of life's many trials
In the darkest moments of self-denial
To the heights of happiness revival
Times quest to quell her bright smile
For you will never cease to sparkle
"A Rose Renewed"
A moment of true magic made manifest
as special as true love at its very best
A jewel of dancing resplendent blooms
as bright as the 'Aurora' as it swoons
A delicate rainbow of exquisite beauty
as peaceful as breath's calming duty
A heart's unforgettable remembrance
as enduring as joy's restful fragrance
A child of endless sorrow made alive
as moving as a baby's will to survive
A spirit of hope's magnificence worn
as eloquent as a promise ever reborn
A rose renewed till tomorrow's won
as jubilant as the early morning sun

Comment from Alexandra Trovato
That is not a fair balance. I see where this is going. What most people don't realize is that people who are prominent in communities or who are given some power or trusted position, are the most common offenders of children. Those are the adults who can expect children to not be believed if they ever tell of a use. I've been trained so much and have been so involved in this topic that when I see a trusted figure with power of any type, I watch them. The bot who hurt me became a teacher and he traveled with the girls basketball team. When I saw that online I called the school where he works, told the secretary my story and also what he confessed about the four year old he had molested and I couldn't give my name but I was crying hysterectomy and the woman. Believed me and promised she would share my call with the school social worker and most importantly she would make sure the girls on the basketball team are questioned and protected. Children have little power not voices against adults. If other adults don't make a point of checking on them and defending them, they will continue to fall through painful cracks.
So proud to see every word you share, my friend,,

Alexandra, I'm so sorry you went through that. My heart reaches out to anyone who goes Is through something like this or any kind of abuse at all. But you did and excellent that you had the courage to speak up. That in itself is gold. Thank you for reading offering your support. And your compassionate words. I'm so happy to have you along this journey with me. Thank you again. I hope you have the best day.
Comment from Jim Wile
There is such a disconnect here, Lea. Having so many relatives high up in the bureaucracy of the child welfare system, yet here you and your sisters were--poster children for abuse.
I see two possibilities here, but I hope both are wrong.
1) Your relatives want to cover this up because of the embarrassment of having the kind of abuse you experienced in their own family for fear it will affect their jobs.
2) They are actively promoting the abuse by being part of a system of child prostitution, taking part in a scheme to pimp out children to line their own pockets. That is just too evil to think about, and I hope beyond hope that wasn't the case here.

Thank you jim number one is definitely it with an added bonus of attempted murder. I will go into origins, genetic issueducation as well as a systematic elimination of three girls, which didn't work, thank god. You know what happened? I just understand then that I understand now so I have to make sure I create that situation when writing out. The things are gonna be like a? Thank you so much again. Jim, you are amazingly inciteful and super smart. Hope you have the best day!
Comment from BethShelby
What comes to mind for me is that maybe you're not biologically a part of this family. Maybe you three were taken from you real parents at birth and placed with this family. I know this was once done to indignous children,
If this was really your biological grandmother, I would have thought she would have great lengths to find you when you disappeared. Is this the wrong answer to the mystery?

That's Interesting that you say so considering there is a genetic issue in my family with who belongs to who is quite convoluted and only has a recipe for a disaster. My family's losing their mind. Because I'm publishing and I am going ahead. Let the chips fall where they may! I will write about the genetic issue in the family and how this whole mess started. Thank you, Beth, for being curious and asking questions for paying in there. You give me hope for better days. I appreciate that so much, have an awesome day!

Well, I'm glad that wasn't what happened to you. You mentioned Canada and it had to do with Canadian goverment and child protective service. They took the children under the pretense of making sure they learned English but I think they were trying ot destroy their culture.
Comment from Jesse James Doty
The title is provocative and the line above it gives no clue as to what's ahead in this tale of what happens when people of power gain control over the folks they interact with. I get the reason why you use a large font on the page, it is for emphasis. You write very well and engage the reader as to what is going to happen next. In your notes you write that this is part of a series called, Ghost. I am gaining interest in reading more at a later date. Provocative and in a strange way, appealing to the sense of urgency.

Incredible. I guess we are in a terrifying world of hypocrisy and corruption. If I try and put two and two together. Frightening for you. Looking forward to more revelations. x
