Message To James Moulton

James.....James.......James. Word has it that you have a military career planned, upon which you intend to embark in the next two or three weeks. This is probably good for you, as any branch of the military will provide you with a paycheck and with training for lots of career choices when your tour of duty is over. I am happy for you. There is one thing I think you should know before you say goodbye to "Mommy", though, and that's this; over the past two years, many of the visits to my blog, as indicated by my tracker, have been from military bases in various parts of the world, reading and re-reading any and all posts that mention your step-brother, Kyron Horman. A lot of people, in all branches of the military, care about him. From private and public comments, I can only gather that each and every military person who has read about Kyron would do just about anything to help bring him home. Should you leave Oregon without offering your testimony to help accomplish the same, you will probably be the only person serving in the armed forces who is not willing to do whatever is neccessary or possible to bring your little brother home. Do you really want to be that person, while in basic training? How about the rest of your career, James? How easy do you think the work world, especially the military work world, will be, when everyone around you cares about missing children, and you are the only one who has actually refused to do the right thing and help bring one home? Your whole military career might be over before it even starts.

I am hoping, and willing to consider, that you know nothing about Kyron's disappearance. When I first heard about Kyron, in the summer of 2010, I was willing to consider the same about your mother, too. In fact, I don't think anyone started to point the finger at her until problems with her statements to the police arose. She never managed to straighten those out, either, and that is ultimately the reason Kyron's mother is taking your mother to court. Your mother could save herself a lot of trouble simply by testifying. At this late date, I am sure you have heard quite a bit of inside information about the case from your mother, and others. Just on the outside chance that any of that information is something that could lead to Kyron or help explain what happened to him, the obvious moral obligation you have is to testify, despite your mother's objections. Yes, James, there are a few of us out there who understand what it is like to go straight on a crooked family, and it's hard.....but what is your crooked family really doing for you that's helpful and productive? Probably not much. Wouldn't you rather be the first witness to testify, rather than the person who gets a summons while at a duty station?
