3. This kill and kidnap business is an epidemic lately.

This is at least the third or fourth similar incident in the last few weeks.

5. It is. The news is just heartbreaking these days.

They are coming faster and faster. Kidnappings and killings of children are becoming more and more and more common.
It literally makes me sick.

7. "Deleted sub-thread." I don't even want to know why that was necessary. This place has become toxic.

8. It's my fault.

It wasn't as bad as it seems, but I understand why it was deleted. Don't read too much into it. :)

9. Oh,lordy!

Salem's not too far from my hometown, and I'm moving back there next month. Sad. I sure hope they find the child alive and physically unharmed asap.
