The Protest

It has been well over 1 year since the dreadful night of June 23rd,2007. I have been in a very difficult position. Justice for Jonathan and the protection of children who are still alive has been the number 1 thing on my heart. I have alienated some of my friends and family and I have gained many more friends.

Child abuse, neglect, and death are difficult situations to face.

Many of you know what I have been going through. If not, before reading this, you will want to read all the original Froggy's World hubs .

I have not heard anything from the prosecutor's office. It feels as if they have been trying to sweep this all under. Well, Froggy doesn't go for that! I prayed, I wept, I opened my Bible and Joshua's story was in front of me. I challenge you all to read the book of Joshua-very interesting!

God ordered Moses to order Joshua into battle; Joshua didn't want to and argued, but when he finally realized the order was from God he ran rampant over the armies he was battling. He had the Spirit of God guiding him through and he couldn't lose.

Froggy took this as a call to action. Early on, I warned these people that if justice isn't coming and Jonathan gets put on a back-burner, I would protest. Froggy really isn't the type of guy to go make what seems to be a spectacle of myself, but I felt God telling me I must do so. I do not EVER want to argue with God Almighty!

Two days ago I took my picket sign which reads Justice For Jonathan on one side and Will Lebanon Allow This Baby's Death on the other. The courthouse found a lone picketer in front of it. I pray through my steps as I march back and forth down the sidewalk. The response becomes phenomenal! There are people coming and asking. The hugs and prayers are amazing. You would think that by this time I wouldn't be able to cry anymore. I can.

That first day, the local newspaper came and did a story and many people told me they were going to make some calls.

The most special and rewarding thing that happened that first day was the woman who brought the little 7th grade girl up. The girl had told her that man needs a hug. That hug was very special.

The Interviews

This protest has drawn much media exposure. Kspr channel 33 from Springfield,Missouri came to town yesterday. They did what I have been looking for for a long time. They dug in. They were only able to put just part of this on the news. I am posting the links below to the interviews with myself and David Olson. I hope that prosecution is looking at the discrepancies from this interview compared to the days after Jonathan's death.

Before I show you these, please understand I am not going to defend myself on the things he says about me. There is one thing I must cover though. He claims I am prejudice on him because he is Mexican-American. I must say that is false. I take every single man and woman for what is inside. Color matters none. Religion matters none. Disabilities matter none. The heart is the key. I took great offense at that statement because I have many friends of different races,religions and cultures and I believe that there are some of my friends here on hubpages alone that would testify to that. Other than that I will not go into defending the lies he is saying. I wasn't the last one to have Jonathan in a shower and said he "fell". This time he said he fell against the side of the tub and originally he said that Jonathan "fell" on a toy. Too many discrepancies.

I ask you to please give me your thoughts in the comments after watching both videos.

May justice come surely and quickly!

Our paths crossed out of my stupidity. I am at a loss for gaining an understanding for the loss your family has encountered. What you are doing will bring justice to your family one day.

The irony of bitterness is that it ties us emotionally to the very person we're bitter toward. It's like trying to run full speed in a three-legged race. You can't run like you need to run until you cut the rope that ties you to the person who wronged you. And that can only be done by doing what seems unthinkable - forgiving that person.

The person who hurt you may not deserve to be forgiven, but then you didn't deserve God's forgiveness. To forgive them is not to pretend there was nothing wrong with what they did - it's releasing them completely to God for Him to deal with them. It's drawing a line and making a decision that from this day on you will, with God's strength, base your treatment of them, not on how they treated you, but on how Jesus treated you! You'll copy Him.

My friend, I cannot begin to tell you how to forgive this man. But for you to carry forward and help bring this man to justice. You need God's help. My friend, God cannot help you until you release this man and forgive him for what he has done.

Forgiving him does not release his wrong doing. But it does release it to the Lord.

You owe it to your family to be strong in the Lord. You will not be able to do this carrying this burden in your heart... Forgiving this man will not erase the memory. But it will start the road to your healing and finding peace knowing your grandson is with his true Father in Heaven..

Thank you my friend. I know not how to answer that except I am working on it.

I have prayed for him.

I am so very glad I met you.

By no means was it through stupidity-it was meant to be.

God Bless you my friend.

Froggy, I have spent the last4 hours and over reading on here and on the forum, I will not talk on the forum, as I have grandchildren going to Lebanon school. My own daughter went her 8 grades there. I have in past and I am sure it is still going on, noticed your family can pay dearly for what you say. I Pray that justice will be served. I have had dealings with the law in pryor times, as my grandchildrens father was once related to a ex lawman. When there was warrents for his arrest....you can bet they turned their heads when they saw him. Finally I got the Lebanon PD to pick him up. His crime???? Not paying child support. That is his know crime. The other crime was of child abuse to my grandbabies....which I could not get the DFS or law inforcement to investagate. Did he beat them??? I do not know. But I do know he left them in mid winter in a unheated car while he went to see another woman. The person who discovered this told me there was old pizza in the back seat with them, one was a year old and one was two. Again I talked to brick walls. I have lived in the Lebanon area all my life, and I know how things get done and brushed under the carpet in Laclede County. I do so feel for your loss Froggy.....tears have poured many times over the last few hours for you and your family, and especially your grandson. I do not dare go public to the LDR forume....I am a afraid something might happen to my precious family. But I sure tell you some stories that has envolved me and my family over the past32 years. Hugssss froggy!! Keep pulling chains. Maybe someday ppl like me will not be afraid to speak out.

You hang in there Ann: I do this now for people like yourself. I know that people are fearful of retribution here--this is a dirty county.

What can they do to me? Send me home to Jonathan. I wish you could step forward, but I do understand. My prayers are with you as I know you too are praying for me.

Thanks Ann--it helps to know that some people are hearing!

Good Job. I checked on the videos and it said it wasn't available. I did read the articles.

You keep fighting, have you thought about contacting America's Most wanted? John Walsh would be very interested.

Thanks Debi--I am hoping the prosecutor is using those tapes to build a case. As for John Walsh and AMW, they claim they only go after those already charged. We are at the mercy of our prosecuting attorney at this point.
