While I was reading the article in the news about Terri Horman and the continued restraining order, I glanced at the comments offered by the gentle readers of the publication and noticed a suggestion made by one of them that pictures of Kiara be plastered all over Roseburg, instead of Kyron, because Terri obviously hated Kyron and was unmoved by pictures of Kyron. I have a better idea; lets plaster Roseburg with pictures of Terri. After all, Kiara wasn't even two years old when HER BROTHER disappeared, and in my own experience as a child whose "mother" couldn't be bothered with custody or custodial time, and my experience as guardian of children whose "mother" completely lost custody, yet could never be bothered with even contacting me or court officials, let me just say that Terri probably does not care about Kiara, either.
These monsters who can go month after month, year after year, rejecting their children , no birthday cards, no holiday celebrations, no presence in school events, no concerns about their childrens' health, no worries about how their children are living from day to day or what their children are learning from day to day are a completely different breed than the rest of us. And the woman who bore three of the children who call me "Mom" made personal statements to me about some of the things she did that cost her parental rights which sounded frighteningly like the comments made to Oregonlive that were traced back to Terri Horman and her account. "You weren't there", "You don't understand", and other messages to that effect. No I don't understand. I never will. Kyron was seven years old, and was just a kid who needed love. I will never understand the motivations of an adult who would harm a child or the child's family. And no, I "wasn't there"; I would never be "there" for a criminal act committed against a child. Monsters who can harm children are a lot more concerned about themselves than they are about any child, their own or someone else's. The things that motivate the rest of us don't motivate people who don't love their children.
Here are a couple of good pictures of Terri Horman that can go up in Roseburg, to remind Terri of.........drum roll............HERSELF!

We have overweight-lookin' Fat Face Terri, here,

and nasty, holier-than-thou, Righteous Anger Face Terri, here;

and; of course, Tub of Lard Terri here;

and here, we have Adorable Family Terri, who managed to fool the koolaide drinking crowd into thinking she had something to offer as a mom, stepmom, and teacher. Holy Cow.......she even described herself on Facebook as a "christian"! How many mainstream adults dismissed complaints about her from children, her stepchild, and her students, on days that she taught, which could have clued in the community to the fact that all was not well with Terri?
I'm not trying to pick on anyone. I just think that our collective stereotypes about who is "safe" and who is "not safe", who is "smart" and who is "not smart", who is "balenced" and who is "not balenced", and who is "good" and who is "not good" needs a bit of revising, that's all. And lots of mainstream, middle class grownups need to sober up from all the koolaide they've been drinking. Otherwise, Terri Horman and her accomplices, accessories, and counterparts will continue to get away with their criminal activities.
