I have a special affinity for grandparents. There's nothing more special in most children's lives than a doting grandfather (or grandmother). That's why I was so deeply moved by the heartwarming tale coming out of Lake County, Florida.
It's a story that will warm every cockle of your heart. It's the story of two grandparents, Robert and Versie Johnson.
Things apparently haven't been all rosey with the Johnsons. Their son is in jail. But who hasn't had a skeleton or two in their closets from time to time?
Anyway, their son asked them for a favor...a favor regarding his wife and three kids. And, bless their hearts, these two loving grandparents did everything in their power to help fulfill their son's one wish. You see, the son, the father of the kids, simply wanted his parents to hire someone to kill the three children and their mother, and, oh yes (forgive me PETA), the family dog.
So Robert and Versie went out and found a hit man. They even offered him a whopping one hundred dollars to do the killings. I'm figuring that's about twenty-five bucks a person with the dog being done in for free (again, PETA, forgive me).
As loving, and as generous as Robert and Versie are, they're evidently somewhat lacking in the gray matter, if you know what I mean. Because these two doting grandparents slipped up and contacted an undercover officer.
They even met with him at a local Best Western and gave him the hundred. Well, at least Versie did. Apparently Robert was too timid to actually meet the guy who was going to kill his grandkids. Sentimental old fool.
The mother of the kids doesn't sound any too bright herself. When informed that her loving hubby had tried to get her and the young'uns killed, she was shocked. "I never saw this coming," said said. "I loved (him) with all my heart. (He) was good to me and good to the kids. (He) was a nice guy, everybody's friend."
This nice guy is in jail awaiting trial on child abuse charges. His kids are slated to testify against him. And she loves him with all her heart. I don't know if Child Protective Services can take kids away because of parental stupidity, but this is one time when I wish they'd at least give it a try.
Of course, the ones I really feel sorry for are the grandparents. This loving couple is now in jail. Why? For simply trying to help their son. They're a lovely couple. Check the link to take a look at 'em... http://www.local6.com/news/9296581/detail.html. And now, in their golden years, they're behind bars. Isn't there any justice left in this wicked old world?

There is a ‘new’ problem brewing in America and illegal immigration, high gas prices, and Anti-American sentiment have nothing to do with it! Behind the closed doors of our juvenile ‘justice’ system, abuse and corruption is running rampant. Parents are being victimized in unimaginable ways by current child ‘protective’ services laws … especially here in California. It is because of this, that I am sending out an urgent request that investigations be conducted and explanations provided to the public explaining why over 500,000 children are in Foster Care with over 100,000 living right here in California!
As a result of these alarming statistics, Bruce Willis and other celebrities are trying to help these children. However, they are unknowingly being used as instruments of destruction to so many families and their communities. They are unintentionally allowing ‘the system’ to use their notoriety and fame to add more money or fuel to the fire that is Foster Care … which is already burning out of control! Although their intentions are good, they are strengthening a very corrupt, bigoted, unconstitutional, and often criminal system. The public is unaware that these “abused and/or neglected” children have loving family members whose hearts are being crushed as they are forced to sit back and helplessly watch ‘the system’ exploit their child and hundreds-of-thousands more for a profit?
What truly began, years ago, as a safety net for children orphaned or abandoned has become a vicious noose … roping in tons of children who were neither abused nor neglected. By turning a blind eye to the criminal activity taking place in our nations’ juvenile courts and continuing to fund this criminal organization known as Foster Care, our government is participating in the "legalized" kidnapping of our nations children. Black and Latino communities, particularly, are being ravished by this extremely organized, multifaceted, and intricate criminal organization that is Foster Care.
If you have any doubt about the enormity of this problem, click on the link “Petition to Oprah” at www.fightcps.com -- there are almost 3,000 signatures on a petition, when the goal was 1,000. Please read comment #2,804 written by A Hampton on May 15th at 7:27 pm.
If you believe that children in foster care should ‘actually’ be victims of abuse and/or neglect; If you believe in the constitution, civil rights, and justice for all; If you believe that we must collectively put an end to the criminal activity taking place in our juvenile courts, please show your support by signing our petition at:
