Popped the title into Amazon.com and got this: Hardcover Clicking on the paperback version says it's out of print.
 
Mama, a lawsuit against the city/publicity sounds like a good idea. Maybe look into suing the kid?

You, your daughter and the rest of your family are in my thoughts. Have strength.
 
I have to agree with some of the others. To die would be too quick and too easy for this kind of scum. Hollering loud enough and long enough you are bound to hit the right pair of ears some where some time. It sure does look like the outlaw has a lot more rights than honest citizen.

I will keep your daughter, You and Hog in my thoughts and prayers.:)
 
If the guy is now 16 or older it'd be be interesting to find out what would need to be done to have him tried as an adult next time he gets caught?

Wonder if he was born in the same state. Wonder if one could get a copy of his birth certificate. I'd imagine it's public record for a few bucks?

The area's DA ( prosecuting attorney ) isn't by any chance running for re-election this year? Perhaps you could make your willingness to participate from now until and after the next time he runs known to him. Like telling everyone you can find of his ( DA's ) effectiveness or worthlessness as long as he remains in public office and even after?

I live in a county ( Mineral County, Nevada ) that recalled it's own DA year before last. He died six months later running drunk head on into a garbage truck on the wrong side of a divided highway, but this time it was in another county 350 miles south and in his own car and not in our county's vehicle. The time before... our county's insurance may eventually come down after he ran the newest county car over a fire hydrant in Reno and turned up drunk without the car til it was fixed and then billed the county.
 
Mama V, et al.,

There is an author/Lawyer named Andrew Vachss who is based out of both coasts. He deals solely with children who have been mentally, physically or sexually abused. He has a website called the Zero, www.vachss.com/index.html. Start there, you may find something.

I have been reading his books for years, and they gave me some direction. I worked with runaway teenagers as a volunteer outreach worker for six months in San Diego, as in Downtown, Balboa Park, Ocean Beach, anywhere that runaways congregated, back in 1998.

Bad kids stay bad, and grow into horrible adults, if they are not reached and feel love by a certain age, past that it is impossible. The coffin is the only cure.

Get your daughter some GOOD martial arts training, and not Billy Joe Bob's Screeching Weasel school of Ninjutsu(no insult meant to Bujinkan practitioners!!), I mean a real reputable dojo. I can help you with that if you need. It builds confidence, and physical fitness, and can save your life if you need it. One of the senior students in my dojo is a 100lb little Japanese woman, who destroyed the testicles of a murderer/rapist here in SD a few years ago, he messed with the wrong person, Karma comes calling, he needs no shots or surgery, his equipment is non functioning.

Have faith in your spirituality, and pass it on. If you are a weak person, then you will pass on your weakness. If that is the case, change it, and you will change the path of your progeny. Guns are difficult to shoot well under stress, and knives are messy. Impact weapons, stun guns, and pepper spray are all very effective, and take less time/intensity to learn well. Professional trianing is still required.

Use any means at your disposal. A sympathetic priest, adviser...A helpful police officer....the bond that you and your husband have....This board, the web, media...You are not alone, you do not bear the blame, you are not responsible for the past.

Be responsible for the future, and help your daughter to command her own destiny.

Good luck, and feel free to contact me offline if you want some help.

Regards,

Steven Garsson
 
I think Steve has given the best/most comprehensive advice so far, along with that of Rusty and those who posted along similar lines. While sentimentally I agree with BillTheCat and the others who would like to emasculate the scum, practically it isn't a good idea. Giving your daughter the tools and confidence to assure her own safety is definitely the most effective tactic, along with trying to put this guy behind bars for good. The problem with having to wait for him to get caught again is that yet another child will have to suffer, when as it stands he should never be free to walk the streets ever again. Lean on your DA as hard as you can until he takes action.
 
Rules for a successful Social Cleansing Mission

1. Do not discuss anything in public.
2. Avoid emotional involvement. If you can't carry out the action in a deliberate, methodical manner, you should not be doing it.
3. Plan carefully and practice. Planning and organization should comprise 90% of the mission. When you are ready, the actual execution of the mission will be automatic and instinctual.
4. After a successful completion, never speak of it again - not to ANYONE.
 
My sympathies Mamav and Hoghead.

I can relate to you in a way because my girlfriend was raped.

All I can say is I am all for what Bill The Cat and Ben Arown-Awile have said, and I would even be glad to help. But you should give it a couple of years more first to avoid any suspiciousness thrown at you.

In the meantime take care of your daughter's mental development. I am no psychologist but I have seen people who have been mentally destroyed as adolescent, and they developed into living in a constant state of fear and sceptisism towards others, which in turn made them egocentrical and difficult to be around with. They trust only themselves really. Being in a constant mental state of fear gets your self preservation going, but it can turn bad. The people I know have developed into dysfunctional people because of their traumas. They are fairly young people today, but I doubt it they will ever be able to relate normally to other people and be able to have a relationship that lasts for example.

And as someone else said above me here, giving your child a good mental development depends to a great deal on your own spirituality. Causes and effects, they are all around us. People here call it karma.
