" So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart." author unknown
Wednesday, February 28, 2001: Tonight we will continue with our first steps to expose the "joke" that our Juvenile system has become and try to get it put into a working situation. Last Night you heard Diane Baur tell us how her 12 year old son called the police and told them that she was having sex with him. The FBI, Oklahoma State Crime Bureau all show up around Midnight and arrest her and took the kids away. Later the boy confessed he made up the entire story and now 8 months later, this woman still does not have her children back.
Meanwhile Amanda K. Lane who is charged with the killing of my mother, had 23 encounters with the Juvenile system including one about four months before she killed my Mother with the help of a '" few friends" in the neighborhood; she beat a girl named Megan with an Iron Pipe about the face.
