Hello all,

Thank you for your comments of love and support for L and her family last week following my last blog - I passed each and every one onto them, and they called me to say how much is was appreciated. They were quite amazed at the responses, so thanks again.

L's grandma, Pam (some of you might have met her too last year at C IV) sent me some updates and said I could share them with you.

L is recovering. The girls are still in jail. They are in isolation which means they can't go out and exercise or be with the other kids. There will be another hearing May 11th. The judge will determine then what he will do with them.
Because they kicked her in the head with their shoes on it is considered a felony. Her father has got a restraining order against them so that they can't return to school.
Travis is an innocent victim in all of this. He has become very disturbed and upset with what has happened to his sister. Starting last Thursday he began receiving counseling at school.
This (Monday) morning, L went back to school. She was determined to go back. There was a big meeting with people from the school board, school officials and L's mom, plus a counselor. L's mom reached out to an advocate who is also an attorney because the school hadn't contacted her at all and no plans were in place for L's return.

The latest info I have is that L now has a couple of folks at the school surreptitiously guarding her, and interestingly, the principal of the school had no idea until today that any of this had happened! It appears the vice-principal knew something might happen last Monday but didn't act on it, and subsequently tried to keep the big boss out of it - oh dear. Somebody's going to be paying big time...

Turning to the Dork Side will be a little late this week, sorry. I got terribly busy this weekend making a puppet for a short I am filming this summer - here he is (looks familiar? I can't see it )

DS will turn up very soon.

Have a great week, y'all.
