Child Dying of Cancer Leaves Notes Behind

Brooke and Keith Desserich of Cincinnati, Ohio, were told their daughter Elena had 135 days to live. She beat her diagnosis by 121 days.

But during that time, as she fought the cruelest form of pediatric brain cancer, 5-year-old Elena left a powerful legacy.

She began to hide little notes -- hidden in book shelves, CD cases, sock drawers -- for her family to find after she was gone.

"The first time I found a note caught between books, I thought nothing of it," said Keith Desserich, 34, and an entrepreneur. "But then I started to find 20 to 30 notes, and wondered if there was something more to it. One -- 'I love you Mom and Dad' -- was packed in a bag of clothes put away for the winter."

Soon, the family got calls from her grandparents, saying they, too, had colorful hand drawings from Elena. One aunt even found a note written to her chihuahua, which little Elena loved.

Why does our society hate children?

clipper's remarks: As a person without kids, I agree entirely about the need for patience. Kids are part of life, and adults should not default to being nasty to or about them.

More:

Several folks on this and other sites pointed out how much money they would pay for a child-free flight. You know what? I'd pay just as much for a child-friendly flight - where reasonably behaved kids can fly without fear of glares from miserable old ladies, put-off hipsters, and misanthropic businessmen…

Indeed, when we took our son on his first cross-country flight, he had a bad time. He screamed, he was in pain from the air pressure, and generally wasn't a happy camper. People were okay, but I still remember That Guy. He came up to me and said, "I have two kids. I've been where you are. Hang in there, it'll get better."

In my life, I love my wife, my child, my family, a handful of close friends, and That Guy. I hope he's finding money or falling in love or getting elected mayor somewhere right now.

As the father of a three year old boy, I've become much more attuned to the way that people treat children. What astounds me is how much, as a society, we tend to despise children.
I want to first reiterate that I can't stand bad parents or bad children, either. There are parents who are over-permissive to the point of absurdity. There are kids who are just hyper or obnoxious.
But anyone who's been in charge of a toddler for more than three minutes knows that even the most perfect parent in the entire world can't prevent or stop every tantrum.
I don't like screaming in my ear, either. I also don't like people who wrestle the armrest away from me, people who lean their seat ALL the way back, and people who claim their suitcase is a purse and cram the overhead compartment with too many bags. But that's life. That's what traveling by air means. Heck, that's what it means to live in this world.

AN outspoken Kiwi politician has proposed a new solution to the country's child abuse problem - pay the "appalling underclass" not to breed.

Michael Laws -

there is a group within our society who give their children no hope nor opportunity from the moment that they are born," the regional mayor wrote

Mr Laws goes on to write: "it would be far better for this appalling underclass to be offered financial inducements not to have children, given the toxic environment that they would provide for any child in their care."

The mayor believes "the consequent financial and social savings to our community would be considerable.

"There are too many people who should not have children."

"If we gave $10,000 to certain people and said 'we'll voluntarily sterilise you' then all of society would be better off,''

"There'd be less dead children and less social problems.''

Mr Laws argued that "liberal methods'' of beating the problem had failed.

his "solution'' has been branded "draconian'' and "totalitarian''

Michael Laws - who stirred up controversy by calling the late Tongan King a "bloated brown slug'' - has again hit the headlines.

"That there is a group within our society who give their children no hope nor opportunity from the moment that they are born," the regional mayor wrote on the New Zealand radio website where he broadcasts as a talkback DJ.

"That these ‘parents’ are known to authorities ... and yet the authorities can only intervene after children have been harmed."

The mayor believes "the consequent financial and social savings to our community would be considerable.

A General Idea on Passports for children

In accordance with current changes in the passport law, every child needs a passport of their own in order to travel abroad to any country outside the United Sates. Even for travel to Canada, minors will need a Canadian passport application child.
Special forms are there and every child must come into view in person to apply, together with both parents. Then parents have to submit photocopies of documents in specific government-approved forms (i.e. on 8 ½ by 11 white paper—“The 8 1/2 x 11″ paper size cannot be substituted with a larger or smaller size paper, even though the alternative folds down to the 8 1/2 x 11″ size. If one parent is engaged, the other must bring a notarized letter and Form DS-3053. Parent with exclusive guardianship have to prove their status to get the Passports for Children.

Symptoms of ADHD

ADHD is a condition that lives throughout a persons whole life. It can affect children, teens, and adults.

The symptoms of ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. Children display these traits most often when growing up. But with ADHD, which stands for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, these symptoms are inappropriate for the child’s age.

ADHD is most common in children and teenagers, but adults can also have it. If an adult has ADHD they may have different symptoms then that of a child or teen. For example, an adult may experience restlessness instead of hyperactivity. Adults who have ADHD consistently have problems with relationships and employment.

Refuting the Critics

You know they're out there as much as we do -- groups who do not share our veiwpoint on parenting, or on the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, or on the Parental Rights Amendment. They tell you that, from their vantage point, the Parental Rights Amendment is a bad idea. The more you research the issue, the more likely you are to find at least one of these sites. We've found them, too. We've read their opinions. We have examined their opposing view, and remain convinced that the Parental Rights Amendment is absolutely necessary.

We fully believe we have answers to the questions they raise. You will find some of those answers here.

clipper's remarks: I used to be a great admirer of Mother Theresa. I even met her, heard her speak and was kissed by her. It wasn't until fairly recently I started to question the "goodness" of her work - particularly in the arena of abortion and contraception.

If I was a young/older mother incapable (financially, physically, emotionally, mentally) of supporting and caring for my about to be born child, would I still choose to have it. If I knew, that by allowing this child to be born, the most likely scenario of life that it had to look forward to was an over crowded orphanage, would I still choose to bring that child into the world? If I genuinely, in my heart of hearts knew I was not the mothering kind and my boyfriend also did not want a baby, but our families were putting pressure on us to have one would I be condemned for wanting to "sell my child for $30 to some utter stranger?

Mother Teresa sincerely wanted to help the poor. There's no doubt she has done some good things, but did she do so properly? Christopher Hitchens thinks not.

During her lifetime Mother Teresa had become synonymous with saintliness. But in 1994, three years before her death, journalist Christopher Hitchens made this provocative film asking if her reputation was deserved.

Drinking. Drugs. Caving into peer pressure. When parents expect their teenagers to conform to negative stereotypes, those teens are in fact more likely to do so, according to new research by Christy Buchanan, professor of psychology at Wake Forest University.

"Parents who believe they are simply being realistic might actually contribute to a self-fulfilling prophecy," says Buchanan, who studies adolescent development and behavior. "Negative expectations on the part of both parents and children predict more negative behaviors later on."

suggestions for parents:

Parents' own behavior is a powerful example.

Let your teenager know that many adolescents resist drinking, smoking or early sexual activity.

Draw attention to examples of teenagers who are doing positive things.

Make your own home a fun and comfortable place

Encourage and support involvement in positive extracurricular activities

Pay attention to your teenager's peer choices.

Make sure your teenager knows
