Lavinia,
Let me thank you for your interest in this issue. I do NOT have ANY empathy for my sister in law at this point. I consider her culpable for anything taking place. To hire a lawyer for the man molesting your daughter is deplorable, sick or not sick. The little girls count, as you say.

Your post will help me keep "ringing the bell." I will do so and had planned on doing that. I will try to get someone in Virginia in that location to ring a bell for me too, esp. if you think this might work.

I am a performer and I know that the "squeeky wheel gets the grease," as well as "any press is good press," in this situation.

I cannot thank you enough for getting involved enough by reading this post and giving your expertise.

dancer9, still fighting. One does not get through the ballet barre without a measure of tenacity!
