Sorry if this has already been opened in another thread. I missed it if it was.
So, days ago this kid was murdered. 7 year old girl, at little football field Saturday, Cheerleading for her older brother.
Parents lose track of her, announcer calls her name, she doesn't come forward. The lock the field gates and everyone starts searching, yelling her name, looking everywhere.
20-25 minutes later, they find her body in a creek/pond about 400 yards away in the woods next to the field. She was kidnapped, raped, sodomized, murdered.
They arrested a guy today. From the same little town, scottsville. He went to high school with the kids dad. I hope they got the right and only guy involved.
I was upset about the Paris attacks. Then, reading this story really just put me into an even worse state.
This could have been our town, and our field. We're actually not that far away. I'm taking the kids down that direction tomorrow for a wrestling tournament. All day, small town Kentucky. We'll be there for between 8-14 hours tomorrow depending on when it finishes.
We all pack for drinks, games, toys, blankets, etc. And, the parents usually pick an area to hang at in the bleachers when we are watching and waiting to see matches. Our nonwrestlers usually sit with us, and wander to play, our wrestlers even wander a lot when it's not their turns, playing, going to other mats to cheer on teammates. It's fun, and great fellowship. I'm usually very protective of my kids whereabouts, and wrestling at most of these events us one of the few things that I really don't stress about their safety at. The environments are usually not super crowded, and the kids stick together, and we aren't in the big cities. Typically a lot if us know each other because it's frequently the same sets of teams getting together. We just take turns hosting events in our little towns/counties all season.
I'm so not feeling it right now though because of reading about this little girls murder.
We went to our Homeschool Coop today. My daughter and her friend were playing together, and I think semi-actively ignoring coming when their names were called to leave.
My dad was so worked up worrying something had happened to the girls, he was about to explode when she appeared. Wasn't either of their faults, the girls meant no harm, and its not his fault for getting panicky after several minutes, and after sending one if my older sins to find the girls and having him return without them.
Just sharing, praying for that family. But, also praying for my own, for safety, and the peace and contentment to not be lost in an unbalanced way. Life goes on, terrible child murders don't happen to most families like this. I'm pretty consistent with my thoughts, reactions, choices, etc. Not saying that as a prideful thing. Just saying, for better or worse, I know that's my personality. I change like everybody else, but once I change gears, it usually sticks. So, I guess that's why I'm unhappy about feeling so rattled about the little girl. I don't want to lose hold of the nice balance we had going with managing our kids in public.
It really upset me that this happened in a place so much like and near our town. It really bugged me that it was less than 30 minutes and she was dead and the killer/S were gone. And, it really unnerves me to realize that this kid likely heard everyone calling out to her and heard or even saw people tromping near her. But, she still died. Disgusting as imagining her lifeless body being assaulted by the killer, I pray she was actually dead or unconscious before that other stuff happened. I just can't imagine her parents being told she was alive and may have heard everyone trying to get to her.
Ok, I'm done. Thanks for listening.
