Does Florida Protect It's Victims?

Today i heard the most disturbing news that i've heard in some time. There was a news broadcast about a child murder that brought me to tears.

There was a beautiful three month old child that was thrown from a moving vehicle yesterday at 3:15am.

Now this is what i'm having a hard time understanding....

Fact: This is a man that has an extensive violent history since the age of 11.
Fact: There have been protective orders filed and then denied by the Florida courts because of incomplete paperwork?

Fact: This person was still walking the streets because the Florida courts pretty much gave him a get out of jail free card for his offenses.

Fact: There was an active warrent for this person and even though the authorities knew exactly where this person was no one went to pick him up on his warrent.

Call me crazy, but this terrible tragedy could have been avoided if someone was doing thier job. So, who do you think will get the blame? The mother of this beautiful litte boy happens to be 17, but should that matter? This young mother missed her court date to put a restraining order in place and people are pointing the finger at her. That in my opinion is wrong.

First or all it's very difficult for ANY woman in a domestic violence situation to get enough courage to seek help and a lot of times the end result is more abuse or death. There are countles numbers of victims that hide what they are going through or are threatened if they try to get out of their situations.

This young mother should be embraced not ridiculed for losing her child. Her community should show her as much support as possible , this is something that she is going to have to deal with for the rest of her life. One could only imagine going through the loss of a child, but to have a child murdered in such a horrible way is unimaginable. My heart truly goes out to her.
