Animal abuse MUST stop. My heart is with the animals; however, most serial killers start with animals. If there were harsher punishments for animal abuse, we would not only be saving these innocent animals, we would probably be saving human lives.

My son is looking at serious time for a crime he committed. We are asking the judge to consider his mental illness in any plea deal negotiations and include services not simply state prison.

I am tired of our young children being hurt and damaged in this type of way and their violators getting a slap on the wrist.

Angela is an addict and needs help. She is wanting the help now and willing to commit to rehab. We are asking for Rehab and a reduced or no sentence with probation, so she can get her life back in order. Angela is a good person that was trying to keep her home and work. She made several bad choices that she would not have made if she had been sober. She is/was an addict during all the troubles.

People in prison also have basic human rights. No one should be forced to go without heat in this freezing weather! It's up to us to make sure Metropolitan Detention Center turns on the electricity and heat immediately. We can't be silent. Take action now.

Cleveland police officer Timothy Loehmann shot my 12 year old son — Tamir Rice — less than one second after getting out of his car. Now Cleveland’s police union wants him back on the force. The Cleveland police department’s investigation after Loehmann murdered Tamir revealed that Loehmann had lied on his job application, claiming he left another police department (in Independence, Ohio) for “personal reasons.” In fact, he had resigned from the Independence Police Department when he learned they were going to fire him — because they had determined he was unstable and unfit to be a police officer. After discovering this lie, the Cleveland Police department fired Loehmann — but Cleveland’s police union immediately appealed the decision and is trying to get him reinstated. An arbitrator recently ruled against Loehmann and the police union’s attempt to get him back on Cleveland’s police force. That would usually be the end of it — but the police union is still fighting to make Loehmann a police officer again. Timothy Loehmann should never have been hired, and he should never have been in a position to take Tamir’s life. He’s unstable, dishonest, dangerous, and he’s already killed unjustly and recklessly. He definitely shouldn’t be on the streets with a badge and gun, and ever since he murdered Tamir I’ve been fighting to make sure that doesn’t happen. When Loehmann tried to get a job at another police department in Ohio, he was forced to withdraw his application after I spoke out, along with thousands of people in Ohio and across the country. Now it’s time for us to speak out again. Far too often, police unions succeed in quietly getting corrupt and dangerous officers back in their jobs after the public’s attention has moved on. That’s what they’re trying to do here. We can stop it from happening — and make it less likely in the future — by publicly confronting the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association.

15 year old son was incarcerated for 3 years for what started as a misdemeanor shoplifting charge. He committed self harm numerous times and never got a mental health evaluation nor any psychotropics.

We need to raise our voices about the mistakes the Reagan administration created, and correct them by contacting our congresspeople. The maltreatment of non-violent criminals needs to end, and they needed to be served time on an individual basis.

This extreme animal cruelty needs to be prosecuted.

This is not only an ongoing issue worldwide, but it's neglected foremost. Child abusers-Pedophiles come from all walks of life. It's usually those who hide behind the cloak of normality and respectability within our communities who are the worst offenders of all as they will thrive on this respect and the control over their victim(s) in knowing that they can convince many others that the child is lying and/or looking for attention. Accusers are out on the streets still living a normal life, while these families are living with a life sentence that they had done to them. It is not these children's secret to keep but only the perpetrator monsters secret to try and protect. The memories of abuse will always, every day of the child's life, affect them. Children will be affected for the rest of their lives. Nightmares, not sleeping, bed wetting, therapy, full body medical exams, bloodwork for HIV and Std's; these poor babies. These pedophiles need harsher penalties, monitoring, full-term convictions, not plea bargains.
