i was told that ( by the husband) that child molesting is brought up often at the meeting and how it is up to the family if the police should be notified.

now i know it is not favored to call the police but has anyone heard these talks on molesting at the meetings?

anything about molestings?.

dear jamie,

This is great!!!!!!!!!!

Can more of us do the same to make known the truth? Why not post your letter here to encourage others to get the truth out to the media?

Many of us have plenty of irritation when we read something like this article. Why not express it where it counts? A word of caution----A respectful, appealing letter (as this one is) will get a better hearing than 'hate mail'.

i read this on another post, but there are so many things wrong with this article.

beaumont - each weekend since october, danny farrow has driven about 90 miles to the golden triangle, where he lives in a trailer and feeds thousands of homemade meals to volunteers.

he could be golfing.

"this is probably the one organization you will see that will see this project to the end," farrow said.

(seems somewhat arrogant).

Red Cross Called to Task
Shortly following the September 11 attacks, the American Red Cross was on the scene, soliciting donations of cash and blood. Some $850 million in cash was given, and 400,000 units of blood collected. While collections were quick, disbursements were not. "The American Red Cross was slow to distribute relief funds to the families affected by the attacks," states The Washington Times. "Relief funds were being used for programs unrelated to September 11," and a large share was slated for "long-term needs, such as [a] blood-freezing program, counseling, and future attacks." With little need for the blood collected and its 42-day shelf life over, the blood "is useless and must be burned," the article says. The news media reported that the Red Cross board, beset by heavy criticism, forced out its president and announced at the end of January 2002 that 90 percent of the funds gathered will go to victims of the disaster by September 11, 2002.

WTS does not need to worry about being called to task since the donations can't be earmarked and no figures are given.
