Lively Case Discussion #636 6/6 - 6/8/2007

I see you might be in lurk mode... Just wanted to say thanks for the link to the WPT site

[Easywriter]

I received an email from a group describing themselves as the “Reward’s Committee” seeking information about the Natalee Holloway reward.  A quick search has not turned up in licensing, permitting, or incorporation records that would indicate that this “Committee” is a legitimate entity.

Thus, one can only presume that this “Committee” has nefarious motivations, including the perpetration of an internet fraud via email.

Content of said email is as follows:

The Natalee Reward site has noticed you have high interest in this subject. With your connections, might you be able to obtain an image of the reward entry Jossy has hosted in the Diario this week.

The Committee very much would like to update their site with this new information. So far we have not seen it anywhere on line.
Others should be able to view this beyond just those in Aruba that may read the Diario.

Reward's Committee.

Full Header information is available

Should this information be forwarded to the family, appropriate authorities, or both?  

[Port Valerie]

You're welcome, OF. I just did a quick search to find it. I hope it helps you find what you're lurking for.  

[nonesuche]

IBE if you need a cell phone then email Klaas, I have several that are in good working condition and I can send you one, if what Blah says is true that it can still contact 911 for you.

Klaas, I expect Tim was being modest I just typed that so if you wanted to watch it again so you would know his remarks.

[Port Valerie]

I mean, what you're looking for. (Oops. I'm the one who's lurking.)

OMG, I can't believe these people!  Tell "the reward committee" she can ask Anita to send her a copy of Diario if it's that important to her.

How big of pic  ??x?? can we post without blowing the margins..??
TIA

I try to make sure they are less that 6 inches wide. Keep the resolution at 72 pixels/inch.

Klaasend
PhotoBucket says 318x320 & 4400+ bytes  Does not mention inches    ??not sure what the resolution is either
thanks

[nonesuche]

BOTH Easy  

[nonesuche]

I felt when Klaas first posted moonshadows post that meds on relay would be unhappy, so now she's assuaging her upset by going further on the offensive with the reward.

In photobucket - the one that says Website 320 x 240 is the best size.  It's a bit smaller than I like but the next size up is a bit large.  So when I resize in photobucket I pick the 320 x 240.

Klaas is right.  Many cities have programs requesting old cell phones and chargers to be donated to the women's /domestic abuse shelters.  Any cell phone is capable of dialing 911 without a service plan.

Scary about your daughter.  When my son was in college, some of the guys started a program for the girls that liked to run.  The guys that had big dogs (off campus) signed them out for running with the girls.  The girls stayed safe and the dogs loved the exercise.

I did a stint with the Board of Health, in the inner city schools.  So many, very little, damaged souls and bodies. Even with caring and meals, I believe the early damage, for the most part, is not fixable   .  So very sad....and very scary.  Have you followed up on many of the little ones?

My children were very sheltered and quite compassionate.  I learned my lesson about teaching compassion when they decided to volunteer in some unseemly areas.  I was raised in a much bigger city than they and had learned my "what ifs".  I resorted to having them watch "Boys in the Hood" to get an idea of real life.

Buckeye,

They don't give us any resources for following up on the children.  

What we are doing more of now, though, is enrolling pregnant teens in our program, making sure they have good prenatal care, teaching them parenting skills, and then enrolling the infants when they are born. That seems to be more helpful than waiting until the children are four and trying to help them then. As you say, once the damage occurs it tends not to be fixable.

Hello, reading at work today.
That woman ( Jan ) should step away from her computer and take stock of what she does with her time.
She could go to the outside of her house and take a look at the yard work that needs to be done. And just do it ! !
What a meddler she is. Aren't you glad she isn't your neighbour ?
