Caylee Anthony was a precious little girl that has captured the hearts of America, but just this week, a three-year old little girl was abducted from in front of her home in Missouri and murdered.
Another child in Southern California was taken from her home by her father, and driven to Northern California. Police found both dead in the father’s car within a day and half. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/08/kidnapped-2-year-old-girl-father-found-dead-inside-suv.html
Little Caylee Anthony was a victim, but there are others everyday in our country and we must put our foot down and say enough. We all must take steps to protect our children.
My heart is saddened when I read that these innocents are the tools between a father and mother in a child custody issue and that a child (or children) loses his/her life. Let’s not allow another sexual predator an opportunity to grab a child and end another precious life. In California, a family was murdered by a father who didn’t want to complete a divorce action, so he killed the children and the mother.
Sexual predators do not change their behavior. The Jaycee Dugard case is teaching us more each day as the video tapes are released how this couple, who abducted her, would lure little girls into their van and video tape these children. These people need to be locked away and the key thrown away.
We must become united at protecting our children and take care of one another like we used to when I was a child. Everyone on my block knew one another, and we helped one another when we needed help.
We must know who is out-of-place in our neighborhood and who belongs so we can spot those cars that might take a child. When we see a father or a mother becoming emotionally unbalanced, we must reach out for help to protect the children.
Our children are our tomorrows. They are the most precious commodity of our lives. We should take every step to protect them and unite to make their lives secure.

Further argument to have all parents be required to have ready-access to loaded firearms at all times. Gun control is being able to hit your target, not the reduction of access imo. -Jane
Perhaps if a parent is aiming at someone stealing their child, but we have had parents killing their entire family here in California with guns. It can cut both ways. I agree we need to know how to protect our children, but we need to help parents who are experiencing too much stress that they think death is the only way out.
