I have a relative whose estranged husband also lives this way. She tried to get the police to help, and they refused. This was in San Mateo, CA. Now we don't know where he is. 4 kids, 2 dogs, no schooling for the kids, no change of clothes for the kids, filthy conditions, maybe they eat candy for dinner, and the father doesn't allow them any contact with the mom, my relative. Last citing was in Vancouver, WA. These kids in Georgia are lucky - the police responded. What defines child abuse?

The world is too crowded, and I think even people like this
give up their right to live. I have no patience, nor sympanthy, for those in society that cannot let others play
out their lives to whatever outcome it may be. this playing God complex of murder, or captivity, shows they cannot be trusted, nor should be tolerated.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Libra

If someone owes you money and you're beginning to think that you'll never get it back, this is an excellent day to chase them up. They may not cave in straightaway but at least you'll have had your say and done what you can. Watch out for a tendency to lose your temper, because although this could be quite dramatic if you're usually the soul of equanimity it could work against you if you become aggressive or unpleasant.
