No Release for Roman

Let's start our own petition.  If you care about children who've been the victims of sexual abuse, then add your name to a list of movie-goers who do not support the release of Roman Polanski.  We need to let Hollywood know that we take child sex charges seriously.  I for one, will NOT support the projects of celebrities who DO support the release the director who fled the country the day before he was to be sentenced for unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.  Petition for his release?!?!  What are these celebrities smoking. http://www.news24.com/Content/Entertainment/CelebNews/1048/18fc09e4eae142f49de84f01f82a6d07/05-10-2009-10-02/Cruz_signs_Polanski_petition

Tyler Perry recently revealed that he was molested as a child.  Compared to a pregnant 15-year old Charlotte girl who was shot to death while waiting for the school bus, Perry was lucky. http://www.wcnc.com/news/local/stories/wcnc-092209-al-murdered_teen_vigil.1a541d1d4.html.
A short time after Tiffany Wright and her baby, Aalihah, died the Charlotte-area was hit with the story of a North Carolina father charged in the abduction of his two daughters -- including a pregnant 12-year-old.  He now faces faces rape and incest charges. http://www.witn.com/home/headlines/62861107.html

Thankfully there are agencies like Florence Crittenton Services (http://www.fcsnc.org/programs.html) that try to help bring a happier ending to may of these horrific stories.   And I want our justice system to do its part as well.   Let's start with Roman...
