Download or read book Saving Annie written by Angela Woywod and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books shares the heartbreaks and struggles of a grandma and others who were involved in the rescue of a little girl from sexual abuse and neglect. Once the government agency "Child and Family Protective Services" (C&FPS) got involved, following the liberal laws of today to keep families together no matter what, the child was put through more misery and neglect, which dragged on for more than a year and a half before finally a decision on her future was made.This book will show how drug addiction destroys lives and how it can turn good people into useless, double-crossing, selfish and uncaring individuals.What made this tragedy even worse and frustrating was the fact that no one could help. Even the lawyers who were hired to get the child out of a bad environment, even though they tried when they first got involved, were hampered and restricted by the liberal laws that are on the books. They seemed to be more on Welfare's side than the client's who paid them for their services.It is hoped that the lawmakers of today will realize that some of our laws are too liberal and need to be changed to make this country safer for "everybody". These liberal laws were created shortly after WW II to protect people from discrimination that were different in culture, ethnicity, behaviorally or of physical or mental impairments, nowadays called the "Vulnerable". But these liberal laws do not help the "Vulnerable", on the contrary, they hamper their treatment, but they hurt the law-abiding, taxpaying citizens.This book may help people that find themselves in a similar situation where a child needs to be rescued from sexual abuse and neglect. Sexual abuse on children should be recognized as the big problem that it is, instead it is largely being ignored by the judicial system. An article in the New York Times on 10/5/2014 called "pedophilia" a disorder, not a crime, an opinion of one very liberal journalist. It may be a disorder, but it definitely is a crime as well and should be punished as such, to prevent pedophiles from acting out on their unnatural behaviors. 20% of American children, about 200,000 per year are victims of sexual molestation, many times perpetrated by family members or friends. These children may suffer for the rest of their lives. The American Psychiatric Association states that pedophiles have been shown to have lower IQs than the general population and are shorter in height. Many are left-handed and some have been sexually abused as children themselves. This automatically gets them included into the category of the "Vulnerable" and they enjoy special treatment by the judicial system and some of them go unpunished, to the detriment of the children.

Download or read book Falling Into Crime written by Penny Grubb and published by Fantastic Books Publishing. This book was released on with total page 791 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first three books in Penny Grubb’s crime series about private investigator, Annie Raymond, have been re-edited and brought together in this fast-moving trilogy, Falling into Crime. - Like False Money (nominated for the John Creasy Crime Dagger) sees fledgling PI Annie Raymond arrive in Hull on the North-East coast of England to take a temporary job in a profession that has been her goal since childhood. Problems start with a boss who hadn’t wanted to hire her, a job she has no idea how to do, and a schoolgirl who is ready to blacken her name to save her own skin. Not only has Annie herself walked into a trap but her inexperience has also led a young girl into mortal danger. If she can’t find her way out of the tangle, it won’t be just her career that is over before it starts. - The Jawbone Gang sees Annie more settled – on the face of it. Her hard work has won her a place in a small agency where she develops her expertise and confidence. But her personal ambitions have stalled and as she plots to get herself back on track, a tangled case full of contradictions lands in her lap and threatens to sour her previously good relations with the local police. She used to be able to leave other people’s problems behind her when she closed the office door. But not this time. - The Doll Makers (winner of an international Crime Writers’ Association Dagger) sees Annie, now a seasoned investigator, working for a successful London-based agency. Not everything is going as well as it should, but it’s the tangle in her family life that’s at the forefront of Annie’s mind as she travels back to Argyll to see her father, unaware that she is stepping into a cataclysm that will change lives. Through it all she clings to her prized professionalism, until faced with a terrible choice; fake the evidence and wreck her prized professionalism or face the consequences to a loved one if she plays straight? Distracted, she takes her eye off the ball and misses vital evidence in a case she thought wasn’t her business. Someone is watching her closely, determined that evidence will never be delivered.
