"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." --- Winston Churchill

I know I am a complete stranger to you, as you are to me, but I've read about what is going on in several parenting communities, and I wanted to stop by and say that I'm sorry for your loss.
We may be strangers, but I am praying for you and your family.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

[rrosebunch.livejournal.com]

I am not sure if you remember me, I used to be on your friends list a while ago.... I just wanted to say that I saw through a mutual friend about your latest babies. My heart goes out to you. I am truly saddened tonight and grieve with you for the senseless loss of your babies...

Thank you hon. *hugs*

Hello. We don't know each other, but I feel for you tremendously. I am going to share your story and contact media, even local ones (I'm in Illinois) and since tomorrow's Sunday I might say something to my local radio station for the college show or otherwise. It may fuel debate, as there are lots of idiots, but at least people will be hearing.

You are in my prayers, and my thoughts. I won't ever forget your story and your strength through this all. The world would be a much better place if more people were like you.

Thank you so much for your kind words and your understanding that this situation is far beyond the scope of just my sweet son. The media needs to call to light the plight of foster childrn who are taken from their parents for neglect and then abused, molested, or murdered in foster care. This happems far more often than most people would care to admit. My son is by far not the only casualty.

Jen,
I know its been a long time. I read the paper and I just wanted to tell you that I am so sorry. Isaac was a beautiful child and I can't even imagine what you are going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I truly hope this brings about the changes much needed to the child welfare system and that this brings your other babies home to you. I know it's not enough, but I am so sorry for the pain that you must be going through, I can't even begin to imagine what it is like.

Thank you Jyllian. It's been one hell of a year. We lost Ashleigh 6 months ago.

You don't know me, and I don't know anything of you but what I've read in various places on Livejournal...
My heart goes out to your family..and I'm sorry it has been such a trying time. I'm sure that your children are beautiful angels watching over their siblings. I hope you get justice for your son's horrible death and get your babies back.
I saw that you're not adding any new friends, but I'd like to add you in case someday you change your mind (if that's ok). I wish you luck in the fight for your babies
(sorry about the double comments..my wireless has been acting up!)

[caitlinmary.livejournal.com]

whatever your reasons were, I'm so sad you deleted me =(

[habibekindheart.livejournal.com]

Did a huge friends cut today for multiple reasons surrounding Isaac's death. It's not a permacut for everyone, but I cut almost everyone who wasn't paying attention as a sanity measure.

[quiltingdragon.livejournal.com]

I friended you awhile ago... updating my list to get friended back :)

we have several mutual friends who can vouch for me.

[julieannie.livejournal.com]

I don't need to be on a friend's list to see the atrocities committed against you. After glancing at parent_drama and seeing you mentioned, I viewed your website and was just so shocked to see everything that had happened. Now I check back and see you've suffered another unjust loss. I know you'll never give up but I wanted to let you know you touched an anonymous stranger and I believe you. I live in a state that awards bonuses for the removal of children and to see someone suffering the real consequences of a state's actions terrifies me. I hope you get answers and your children home soon.

Hey there...

moonsend's hubby... Want to keep up with the latest without having to peer over her shoulder all the time :)

Give 'em hell out there.

Re: Hey there...

Hi there, requesting a link in.

[(Anonymous)]

Er, I guess I didn't make the cut. ;-(

You did have a lot of comments to wade through, so I can understand. You've been on my mind a lot lately. Hang in there.

[habibekindheart.livejournal.com]

you're anon, my dear.

[stitchwitch-d.livejournal.com]

I read about Isaac in attilathehoney's lj last week, and I've thought about you many times since. I don't know your whole story, but I read enough to fill in the blanks, since most of it is a story I've heard too many times already. If you'd be willing to friend me, that would be great, if not I understand.

[habibekindheart.livejournal.com]

*nod*

If you get confused, ask away. If you can't hack it, I understand perfectly. I can't either.

Just Wanted You To Know...

[fairy-hope.livejournal.com]

I was checking today to see what was going on with you and saw I have been cut from your friends list.
I am sure you have your reasons and I respect your right to privacy. I am a faithful reader, though I don't comment often... I really wanted you to know:

My heart, prayers and thoughts are with all of you right now. I am truly sorry for all that you have lost - especially with the recent loss of Isaac. Your stories haunt my dreams and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and your family. I will never give up the hope that one day your babies will be back in your arms.

Take care of yourself Habibe. I will keep your name on my FL incase you wish to add me in the future.

[ashes2ashesll.livejournal.com]

I just heard about Isaac on Mothering.com and I realized I hadn't been on my Livejournal in eons. I understand why you unfriended me, I don't blame you. I've been reading your journal for a long time since I first saw you on boob_nazis forever ago. Anyway, I just wanted to come and offer you my love and support, I'm sure you need as much as you can get really badly right now.
I'm very curious to hear what's going on with your newest babe. When I heard you went UC I thought that was awesome and now that DP and I are expecting again we are UCing. I was so saddened to hear that the motherfuckers had taken her from you and I really hope something has happened, the news report I read made no mention of her being in foster care so I'm hoping she's been returned to you where she belongs.
Anyway dear Jen, I hope that somehow you find the strength to carry on. Isaac deserved so much better than this and it's just so fucking unfair and I am just enraged for you. I'm so, so sorry for your loss.
Love and peace.

[habibekindheart.livejournal.com]

Congratulations on your upcoming wee one. :)

I did a mass removal after Isaac's murder because this is a very personal time in our lives and I didn't want access to people who didn't read or comment. Atop that, there was some drama...*rolls eyes*

[burberri.livejournal.com]

Hey hun!

I haven't been on this thing since forever. And when I logged on, I noticed that you don't even update anymore!? You used to update 2323434232 times a day. I hope all is well. :) Keep us up to date with your new baby!

[habibekindheart.livejournal.com]

I do update. I went through a massive friends cut after Isaac was murdered. Did you want back in?

[burberri.livejournal.com]

omg. I just read the comment before this. Wtf??????????? WHAT HAPPENED!? I hope you're doing okay. I'm so sorry :(

[burberri.livejournal.com]

of course! I'm so sorry, hun :( You just have the worst luck in the world.

I noticed that I was cut from the FL... I just wanted to let you know that you and your family are constantly in my thoughts... I haven't commented on what is going on because honestly, I don't know what to say, and I know that you have a million comments to read through and may not want to hear the same things over & over... It hurts me to see someone having to go through what you have gone through... I will be keeping you on my FL, just in case you do a friends add in the future... Stay strong and keep fighting.

[foxsgurl.livejournal.com]

I've been trying not to leave you a comment, because I know you must be getting hundreds of comments from people you don't even know.

But I've been following your story, as best I can, and I wanted to express my sympathy for the loss of not only your daughter and son, but what appears to be a loss of all your children to 'the system.'

No parent should have to go through all of that.

[habibekindheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Yes, it's been a rough decade for our entire family.

i like your icon.

[theretohere.livejournal.com]

I don't know you & you don't know me... but I have some concerns/ questions about CPS that I think you could help me with. I really need to ask & soon. My email is hmscheer at gmail dot com... thanks.

[theretohere.livejournal.com]

I just saw what happened- I'm so incredibly sorry. I had no idea. I understand completely if there is too much going on. I'm praying for you and your family. I hope they solve this quickly.

Hello

[ahmewife.livejournal.com]

Hello.

I'm a friend of Robin's. She told me about you and your "story" (I hate that word in situations like this, makes it sound trivial when it's not) and I wanted to offer my support and tell you I am very sorry for what you guys are going through.

Re: Hello

[habibekindheart.livejournal.com]

Robin told me to add you.

[weirdodragoncat.livejournal.com]

I first heard of you via cerulean_me some time back. Then I heard about what happened to your son.

Words just fail me. I can't imagine what kind of person could do that to a child. I really hope they get what's coming to them in jail...it won't be pretty.

There are so many cases where CPS really *should* intervene and they don't...yours wasn't one of them. Your children should NEVER have been taken from you. A less than perfect housekeep a bad mother does NOT make.

I really hope you get justice for your babies and they are returned to you promptly with a HUGE apology (not that that would really make anything better but its a start)

If you don't mind, I'd like to be added as friend.

hey

[autumn-4-n-1.livejournal.com]

hey Im from AMW.. I wanted to add ya as a friend.. but.. I dont know how dear! help!.. hee hee

Also.. Im so sorry for your loss and know that your family will be in my prayers.

[sunshine-mama.livejournal.com]

I heard of your loss through djm1975 and apers... I have two babies myself, 7 and 2, and I cannot even imagine your pain. I hope you find justice for your sweet boy and get your other angels back home soon, where they'll be safe. My prayers are with you.
