Missouri Miracle
It has been some time since Flower Child made any post on current events about the Nation and Middle Georgia, so today I will briefly discuss two recent events. The first event is the Missouri Miracle. By now we all know that one family near Saint Louis dedicated over four years to searching for their Son after he disappeared. Another family near Saint Louis had a four day wait. Both have have been tramatic. I think that all of us are intensely glad and also happy for the families involved in these two cases. It certainly must be stated that if anyone of us sees anything that does not appear appropriate that we should report it to the proper officials. In the Missouri Miracle situation it was the alertness of a fellow teen, a neighbor of the thirteen year old who was missing for four days that allowed these cases to be resolved. Thank Goodness!!!
Middle Georgia Concerns
The recent tragic deaths of three young Hispanic Men here in Middle Georgia also raises a lot of concerns. An accident happened in Macon and a Friend of these males went to the authorities in the County where they lived to report a missing person/s. Several versions of the events have been published and a lot of confusion has been allowed to cloud the issues. I personally think that everyone may have followed procedures, but in some cases it is the thinking "Outside of the Box" that resolves the crisis. I also know that the element of fear may have prevented friends from coming forward. Overcoming the "fear factor" may have resolved this whold experience much quicker. Additionally, if the young men involved had not feared discovery, they well might be with us today. I can not offer a solution to this tragic event, but I will offer up the following comments:
  • Anyone living in this County who is not a citizen may be fearful of discovery!
  • This is a National Problem and our U. S. A. Government must develop a scheme to resolve this problem!!
  • All of us, including our duly elected leaders, the President, our Senators and our Representatives must work together to clarify and resolve this National problem!!!
  • We all can become involved by demanding that our duly elected leaders do what is right and proper!!!!
  • All of us can do this by starting today. When will you send your message to your Senators and your Representative?

I know that I will, as soon as I publish this Blog!!! Please remember that through the concern of one teenage boy in Missouri the case of two missing boys was resolved. I would urge you to do your part today by becoming involved!!!! Each of us can do no less!!!!
