Jess I think the key would be to grab parents emotions and fear. It has been proven with certain awareness programs and governmental policies, if you want a parent to protect their child you need to elicit fear, cause a sense of panic and at the same time giving true and undeniable facts.
I think if parents knew how many children were used for this, it would raise awareness. Also, the general public needs to understand what exactly it is, how abusive an violent it can get,  short, of course of actually viewing it. What will be hard is getting people to listen. No one wants to think about this stuff, it is too difficult or uncomfortable. Parents want to live in their own little perfect interpretation of the world around them and raise their kids without scaring them. Trust me, I know....   Not to be negative but I think we should all brace ourselves for a long difficult ride. I am willing to help. I have been involved with awareness campaigns that have been successful. Proof, ask yourselves if 15 years ago you knew what autism was? Now realize, it was a key talking point in this years presidential election! Grassroots organizations were key.

Absolutely right, Tracygirl!  Autism is a a very good example.  And you're right, none of this is going to happen overnight.  It will take time, effort and dedication.

Parental education and awareness is just one piece of the puzzle.  Oftentimes, it's the parents either doing the abusing, or allowing it to happen for a profit.  That's where it gets very difficult, and where we will need a creative solution to discover that abuse.

Unfortunately, I cannot attached the supreme court case I discussed in my earlier post.  But you can find it here:

If, for some reason, that link doesn't work, just google "Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition."  You'll find it.

Puzzle, funny you use that term. There are many pieces of the puzzle and all work together for change. If you don't mind, one bit of advise  from a person who was at the start of the autism awareness program which was to elicit change and promote governmental policies such as funding for various programs, awareness and causes....One thing we did wrong was break up into too many groups  with a divided mission. If you look at aids awareness there is one clear message, people are dying, this is how you get it, we need to cure it. In the autism community we lost track of the main goals. In fighting has hampered us since the beginning and still does. I think that is why it took as long as it did and caused great controversy along the way.
So  hopefully you can find my point in my rambling...lol.

LOL you are too funny. Yes and what I should have said to make what I was saying clear is,  use a basic marketing approach,
1. what is the product (or message)
2. How  will it work for me (why should I care)
3. and why do I need it, (How will it affect me).
All the while tugging on emotions.

BUT! so I am understanding everything, a plan of action is wanted to enact stronger laws to prevent and punish the use or making of child porn as well as participating in child molestation. right?

Good afternoon Monkeys & hope everyone is enjoying their day.  I just got caught up with the posts and have to thank you all for your passion for Sandra and for all the great information you have brought forward.  Even with the gag order in place, you have been outstanding.  Thank you.  Since it is quiet here today, I would like to share a tribute to Sandra that I found on youtube:


Thanks for posting this.  It was beautiful.  That darn surveillance video makes me cry every time.  I wish we had the power to turn back time.



Thanks so much for all of your info and help, Jess.  I trolled around the GAO site...and you are right....it moved right in with intellectual properties...WTH?  (There is money in that right?)  Even when you went to the site map...no category for Child Porn...that needs changing IMO.

I have come up with some info...(haven't had time to still my mind yet to really dig in) on the sites/links below:  (Not sure if they are just 'talkin' about it or have any ideas for a solution)

Huckaby's child at center of court fight

May 20, 2009 6:00 AM
As Melissa Huckaby faces charges she kidnapped, raped and killed 8-year-old Sandra Cantu in March, the Tracy woman's mother and ex-husband are waging a bitter court battle for custody of the murder suspect's young daughter.

On April 16, less than a week after Tracy police arrested his ex-wife in connection with Sandra's death, Johnny Huckaby asked a court to give him custody of their 5-year-old daughter, citing the rape and murder allegations in court papers filed in Orange County Superior Court.

Madison Huckaby, who was Sandra's playmate, has been living with Melissa Huckaby's parents, Judy and Brian Lawless, in the Southern California town of Cypress since last month's arrest, according to court filings.

Court Commissioner Walter Posey initially granted Johnny Huckaby, 25, custody of his daughter on April 20. But Posey reversed course two days later, after Judy Lawless pleaded with the court to let her keep the child.

In court papers, Judy Lawless said Madison has lived with her most of her life and has had little contact with her father, who has since remarried and lives 1,700 miles away, just outside Little Rock, Ark.

A custody hearing Monday was postponed until July 6.

Johnny Huckaby, Judy Lawless and their lawyers did not return calls for comment late Tuesday.

Madison befriended Sandra in the Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park in Tracy, where the 8-year-old disappeared March 27.

Sandra's body was found 10 days later inside a suitcase that was dumped in a nearby pond. Melissa Huckaby was arrested April 10.

At the time, Madison was living with her mother and Melissa Huckaby's grandparents, Lane and Connie Lawless, a few doors down from Sandra's family in the trailer park.

Judy Lawless is the daughter-in-law of Lane and Connie Lawless.

Lane Lawless is also pastor of the tiny Clover Road Baptist Church, where Melissa Huckaby taught Sunday school.

Melissa and Johnny Huckaby's marriage was brief.

She was five months' pregnant and had recently filed for bankruptcy when they married in 2003. They separated a year later, and Melissa Huckaby filed for divorce in Orange County in 2005.

In divorce papers, Melissa Huckaby accused her estranged husband of domestic violence, alcohol abuse and child abduction, allegations he denies. Melissa Huckaby was granted custody of their daughter, and Johnny Huckaby was allowed supervised visits.

In a recent court filing, Judy Lawless said Madison and Melissa Huckaby lived with her in Orange County from the fall of 2004 until June 2008, before moving to the Tracy mobile home park.

To avoid the news media covering Melissa Huckaby's arrest, Judy Lawless took Madison and, until April 20, was staying with a relative in Oregon, according to court documents.

Johnny Huckaby wrote in court papers that he traveled to Oregon with the court order to retrieve his daughter, but Judy Lawless had already taken her back to Southern California. He accuses her of lying to him about Madison's whereabouts.
Johnny Huckaby also claims that, in recent years, his ex-wife denied his attempts to contact their daughter, threatening to hide out in Oregon and tell Madison he was not her father.
In an April 17 interview with ABC News, the day after he filed his custody request, Johnny Huckaby said he hoped for the sake of their daughter that his ex-wife is innocent of the criminal charges that make her eligible for the death penalty.

"I do not want my daughter growing up with that type of legacy to look forward to," he said. He said their daughter was not aware of her mother's situation.

Melissa Huckaby has not entered a plea. She is scheduled to appear again in San Joaquin County Superior Court on Friday.

Tracygirl, referencing our exchange of posts yesterday.  Sometimes the abusers are those who are supposed to be protecting our kids.  Sad, sad, sad. . .  Note, this was a federal bust, not a local one.

Ex-Sheriff's Deputy Pleads Guilty To Child Porn Possession

May 20, 2009

LOS ANGELES - A former San Luis Obispo County sheriff's deputy has pleaded guilty to felony possession of child pornography.
     
Bryan Jon Goossens entered the plea Tuesday in Los Angeles federal court. He faces up to 10 years in prison when he's sentenced Aug. 31.
     
The 47-year-old ex-deputy, who resigned from the department shortly before his arrest last August, is free on $5,000 bail.
     
Goossens was among dozens of arrests after an eight-month FBI investigation into a child porn Web site. Federal prosecutor Justin Rhoades says evidence found at the Goossens home in Atascadero linked him to the site.

OK, this makes no sense to me. If I were his lawyer I would file ex parte in a heartbeat. Why hasnt he? She is the GMA, rights observances apply regardless. This child was removed from home on 3/28, the day after the girl her Mother allegedly murdered went missing, and MH had not lived with her since 9 months ago, somethings wrong here. Well, I guess we have confirmation on Oregon as suspected on the research thread

The whole custody of MH daughter has not made sense to begin with. First off, there is no way you can go to court without proof of abuse and be awarded full custody. A judge would have to see proof of service and the dad not responding. He has said something like, she filed for full custody and didn't tell me, she went in to court and fabricated a story and the judge took my rights away.....Trust me I know and I know good how the courts in California protect the parental rights of the father. This is not how it happened, imho of course!

Friday Huckaby hearing could put case on fast track
May 20, 2009 7:53 PM
STOCKTON — Melissa Huckaby’s hearing on Friday — the third since her April arrest — could put the high-profile case on a fast track and start to answer questions about the gruesome killing of 8-year-old Tracy girl Sandra Cantu.

Huckaby, 28, stands accused of kidnapping, rape with an instrument and murder. Yet investigators have not yet revealed key details, such as a motive, how Sandra died and what Huckaby alleged used to rape her.

Sandra vanished March 27 from a Tracy mobile home park. Her body was found April 6 stuffed in a black suitcase dumped in a rural irrigation pond north of Tracy. Tracy police arrested Huckaby four days later following an emotional interview with investigators.

If San Joaquin County Deputy Public Defender Sam Behar enters a plea on behalf of Huckaby, he also could assert her right to a speedy trial and a preliminary hearing within 10 court days.

I doubt very much that any questions will be answered on Friday with the exception of procedural ones.   But I've been surprised before.

A slightly more detailed article about the custody battle and Oregon connection:

Huckaby swallowed razor blades in suicide try, ex-husband says
by Jennifer Wadsworth

May 20, 2009

The ex-husband of the woman accused of the rape and murder of an 8-year-old Tracy girl said in court filings that the suspect swallowed three razor blades in an attempt to kill herself before her April 10 arrest.

Anonymous sources have mentioned the suicide attempt of Melissa Chantel Huckaby before, but the statement filed in the Orange County Superior Court last month marks the first time someone publicly connected the 28-year-old to that allegation.

Huckaby even told the Tracy Press hours before her arrest that she was hospitalized for “internal bleeding,” but refused to elaborate.

Johnny Huckaby — who married Melissa Huckaby in 2005 before their divorce a year later — told a judge that she also forged her mother’s signature on divorce papers. And he said she lied when she accused him in divorce papers of physically abusing her and using drugs.

The allegations came up during an April 20 hearing over whether Johnny Huckaby or his former mother-in-law Judy Lawless should get custody of Melissa’s 6-year-old daughter, Madison Taylor Huckaby.

Johnny Huckaby argued that the horrific charges that sent his ex-wife to jail should entitle him to win custody of Madison. Orange County Commissioner Walter Posey granted his request last month, but reversed that decision after Lawless begged him to let her keep the sickly child at her home in Cypress.

A custody hearing earlier this week was postponed until July 6.

Lawless accused Johnny Huckaby of being a deadbeat dad. She said he lives 1,700 miles away in just outside Little Rock, Ark., and never tried to contact his daughter.

“There were also issues of drugs, alcohol and possibly domestic violence in this case,” she said in an April 22 court declaration. From the time Madison was 1-year-old up to now, she has had virtually no contact with her father, Lawless said.

“I do not believe it is in our granddaughter’s best interests to be placed with somebody she does not know.”

She said that after the media frenzy that followed her daughter Melissa Huckaby’s arrest on charges that she raped and killed 8-year-old Sandra Cantu, Lawless took Madison to a relative’s house in Grants Pass, Ore., to protect her from the chaos in Tracy.

Johnny Huckaby called Lawless on her cell phone to find out where she had taken his daughter. He asked if Madison had seen horses that day, and Lawless said that she had, “indicating that Madison and she were still in Oregon,” Johnny Huckaby said in court filings. Sources have said the Lawless family has a ranch in Oregon.

He didn’t tell Lawless at the time that a judge had already signed papers granting him legal custody of his daughter. But when he flew to Oregon and showed up at the aunt’s house on April 19, Lawless and Madison had already flown back to Cypress.

“What the hell are you doing?” he said he asked Lawless once he got her on the phone again.

“I can’t believe that you are doing this to your daughter,” she responded, according to Johnny Huckaby.

He said he accused Lawless of lying to him about Madison’s whereabouts and that she replied, “I didn’t want anyone to know where she was.”

Over the past couple of years, Johnny Huckaby said he has tried several times to get in touch with his daughter. But Lawless told him that if he tried to see Madison, she would whisk her away to Oregon and “disappear,” he added.

Further, she would tell Madison that she was conceived through artificial insemination, Johnny Huckaby said, “indicating to me that she didn’t want Madison to know that I existed.”

But, he continued, he’s a very stable father, is married, has a 5-year-old stepson, a 1-year-old daughter and a steady job back home in Arkansas.

Johnny Huckaby married Melissa Huckaby just a week after she filed for bankruptcy, records show. At the time, she was five months pregnant with Madison.

Lawless and Johnny Huckaby could not be reached for comment. Their attorneys declined to say anything about the case.

Melissa Huckaby, who has yet to enter a plea, is due back in court at 1 p.m. Friday for further arraignment.

Police arrested her four days after they found Sandra’s body stuffed in a suitcase submerged in a dairy lagoon north of Tracy. She had been missing for 10 days. Sandra used to play with Madison at the Tracy Orchard Estates Mobile Home Park on Clover Road, where the two of them lived.

Madison’s father told ABC’s Good Morning America last month that the little girl was unaware of her mom’s situation.

Melissa Huckaby faces charges of murder with special circumstances for rape with a foreign object, committing lewd and lascivious acts on a child and kidnapping. If convicted, she could face the death penalty.

Grants pass oregon? That is where the Tim lawless line has the roofing company which is across from the cemetary that looks like a compound!

BTW, folks, get ready and buckle your seat belts, there is something big about to happen I think. Strange things are happening here in the land of pedophilia. I am not sure how much I should say but there has been a lot of activity lately, certainly not the norm....

 Huckaby Now Charged With Poisoning Two People

BreakingNews
The Tracy woman charged with the killing of an eight-year-old girl is due back in court, while the case against her takes another twist. Melissa Huckaby is now also facing charges she poisoned two people.

The Tracy woman charged with the killing of an eight-year-old girl is due back in court, while the case against her takes another twist.

Melissa Huckaby is scheduled to appear in San Joaquin County Superior Court Friday for further arraignment on charges that she kidnapped, raped and murdered Sandra Cantu,

Her scheduled appearance comes after prosecutors filed additional charges against Huckaby alleging that she tried to poison two people.

In a new complaint filed Thursday, prosecutors say Huckaby gave what they termed a "a harmful substance" to a seven-year-old girl in January and an adult man in March. The type of substance was not revealed in the complaint.

Although the complaint does not name the girl, CBS13 talked exclusively with the mother of a little girl allegedly poisoned by Huckaby on the same day named in the complaint.  The mother who wishes only to be called "Laura" said Huckaby took her daughter without permission.

Laura called 911 after finding her daughter was missing when she returned home from work on January 17, and police let Huckaby go once she brought Laura's daughter home.

A doctor at a local hospital determined later that night that the young girl had been drugged with a muscle relaxant.  At the time, investigators said they couldn't prove Huckaby was responsible because too much time had passed between the girl's return and the doctor's finding.

Laura told CBS13 she was disappointed police didn't take her more seriously at the time.

"I was shocked, but I kept telling them to look into Melissa Huckaby a little bit more," Laura said. She says she believes if authorities investigated Huckaby more closely, Sandra might still be alive.

The girl has since recovered. The man has not been located.
