Sheeprunner12, the perpetrator is the man who abducted the child, not the mother. Your post is victim blaming.

I am no supporter of Fred Mitchell but it's no one's business what he does in his "spare time". What concerns me is what he does as a politician.

Well said.

To people who criticise which charities people support - leave them alone and concern yourselves with what you can do to help others. Also, keep in mind people who help in one charity are usually the ones who help in many charities.

I agree - excellent letter. All points hit the nail on the head.

You are right that charities need to register and to publish financial reports. Some comply and are easily found online. Others are registered but do not file reports even though they receive donations. This leaves it wide open for abuse and fraud.

Indeed. Their skills need to be put to good use!

Very sad. I had higher hopes for this government.

We cannot sit back and expect government to fix all of society's problems. Society is made up by each and every one of us and it is up to all of us to do our part to make it better.

The Tribune has incorrectly quoted Mr. Stubbs. I heard his report and he said about 85 percent of accidents were due to speed, not five percent.
My heart goes out to the family. At 18 years of age, none of us thought this could happen to us.
