Cleveland police: Missing teens Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus found alive, appear to be OK

I spent a year in Cleveland one week..... this is perfectly understandable!

 

They're going to need a lot of help. What a terrible thing to have to go through. Especially for the one whose mother died while she was held captive.

 

Is it true to say that, 'It takes a village to raise a child?'

Both this case and the Boston marathon bombing, have something in
common. In both cases the alleged perpetrators operated within their
respective societies, yet whatever subtle behavior/hints that they gave
went unnoticed or unreported by folks they had contact with.

The common thing(s) lies/lie at the intersection of the answers to a few
questions:
* What is the role that all citizens play in maintaining public safety?
* What involvement do we expect/assume from our neighbors if not in
the direct raising of children, than by way of looking out for strange or
suspicious activity in our neighborhood?
* How much of our individual roles is properly surrendered to our police?
* Where is the boundary line between doggedly professional police work
and truely intrusive or repressive police presence and activities?

Is it commonly agreed what is the proper role of the people of the villiage...
and the police of the village?

 

Miracles do exist! They are alive!

Hats off to Charles Ramsey and immediate Police response. Charles had to convince the dispatcher but he did a great job. The police did a great job today repatriating the kidnapped with family.

Evil exists in ordinary appearing packages.
