Regan Somalis, Former Victim, Future Lifeline for Many

Regan's face graced the Front Page of the Chicago Tribune this week and her story of Spousal Rape and Abuse has touched the hearts of many. The story was well written, it contained both compassion as well as truth. And as a result, many eyes have been opened to the obvious outrageous manner in which our Country is, or rather, is not protecting the Mothers and Children targeted with Domestic Violence.

The story was a first step towards long overdue Justice for both Regan and her children as well as many others persecuted with this plight. But one step won't get Regan and her children to the finish line of Protection, one step can't change the devastating outcome of so many others in this race towards Freedom from their Abusers.

In order to propel this cause, perhaps a good start would be by filling in some of the (pot)holes the Chicago Tribune left out...

1. Regan is not a victim, she was a target of monstrous acts from a Monster capable of many more.

2. Regan's story is not over, it does not have to have an unhappy ending! There is hope and we all can empower ourselves as well by contributing towards better outcomes for Regan and the many others forced to walk in her shoes.

3. Help is available now! God was watching over Regan, she did not have to run this race alone, she had a lifeline, many lifelines who cheered her on and perhaps at times pulled her towards the spot she is at today.

An incredible Mother, (http://my.opera.com/cherry6905/links/) Cherry Simpson, who herself is joining her daughter towards improving the tomorrows of so many others as well.

And a "God-sent" warrior, who strategically calculated out every step necessary for Regan and her children's escape, walked it with them and continues to guide them along today. Susan Murphy-Milano (http://movingoutmovingon.com - http://justiceinterrupted.blogspot.com/) rescues Domestic Violence Victims, her name and resources NEED TO BE mentioned because she is truly able to SAVE so many more as well.

Help Regan tell her WHOLE story, so many others as well are counting on your assistance, it's a matter of life and death...

(The following is a quote from the Mother of Regan, Cherry Simpson...)
Regan actually wants a piece of piece of legislature which would stop sex offenders from plea bargaining out of sex offender status. It could easily be drafted. There are important principles in this case as there are many major sexual offenders in Illinois that are getting away with their crimes by plea-bargaining. It should not be an option for prosecutors to allow sex offenders to plea out to a lesser crime and there by avoid being put on the sexual offender registry.

Anything you could do to encourage them to help her and impress upon them the seriousness of the crime of aggravated domestic battery would be greatly appreciated.

Message below was posted on http://peace4missing.ning.com/ by Cherry, the Mother of Regan Martin.

Today is my birthday. My greatest gift are my children and grandchildren. I can not look at their faces without also seeing one other face "Susan Murphy-Milano" she has tirelessly helped me and my daughter for almost a year. The Chicago Tribune, the video, are all here because of Susan. More than that, the whole 13 charges, the GPS monitor, the Harvard Law students now trying to help, these are all because of Susan. While I am thankful for the article I am upset they did not put Susan in the article.

Others need to know what to do and where to go for help. Please if you can comment on the article or even let the editor know of how Susan has helped so many. Do it! The whole reason Regan did the article was so God could bring good from this evil. Susan is an important part of God's miracle.

Amy Mullin's family members gasped in relief in a packed courtroom after the jury announced its guilty verdict on a single count of first-degree murder after a day of deliberation. Sentencing is scheduled for December 12th, 2008. Kailyce Mullins (Amy's Daughter) will be on the show.

This week on Justice Interrupted crime and the media. We will be joined by California Lt. Darrell Lowe.

Discussing the epidemic rate at which African American children are abducted, Gaetane Borders, head of Peas in their Pods and the fact that they simply do not receive adequate media coverage. Without this media attention the likelihood that these children will be found is slim to none.

And from the headlines, breaking news and case verdicts Peace4 The Missing's Maggie's Rose will join the conversation.
