What tools does the state need to get the right people help? I am watching a case where a 5 year has lied but they do not know how or where she had gotten the lie from. In the meantime, three kids will be in foster care for Christmas. The horrible part about all of this is all of the money used for this investigation should have been going to a child in true need.

Genesse ISD is reporting a 53% increase in violent incidents in Flint area schools, also due to economic setbacks. This trend, will probably be increasing as our economy worsens. The old Berridge Hotel in Flint is being redone as high end condos and the like. Same with the old Durant Hotel. It seems to me that the People would've been better served by turning these places, or at least one of them, into Homeless Shelters. How many will freeze to death this winter? goddamn, we have some screwed up priorities. I remember the Kalkaska case, heartbreaking.
