If you read the post for today (or yesterday 2.28 or 3.1) and click on the link for "Matthew" in the middle of the 2nd line, you will see her story. <BR/><BR/>Its heartbreaking and hers is especially poignant because it shows that we cannot protect our children from everything.<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you caught it early and I hope your daughter listens to you.
