Joleen,
This is one of the letters, however, if you start a letter writing campaign i would like to participate.  I can only do this during my free time, but it would make me so happy to work on Christians behalf.  I tried to write talk show hosts believe it or not.  I really want Chritian's story out there.  When I ask people if they know Christian's story, I have never had anyone say they were familiar with it.  Granted I live in Hawaii but his story was in the national news. You can add, delete or use this in any way.  Deb : )

Recent news reports have been released on the sentences of Riley Choate & Kimberly Kubina,  the father and stepmother of Christian Choate.  I don’t know if you are familiar with Christian or his story.  Christian was a thirteen year old boy who died as a result of prolonged incarceration in a 3ft dog cage and brutal beatings on a daily basis at the hands of his father and stepmother.  He finally passed away April 5,  2009 as a result of his sustained injuries. 

The system completely failed this child.  This little boy and so many other precious children should not have suffered such a heinous death in vein. 
The U.S. is number one in child abuse and neglect out of all the industrialized countries.  The first step in making things better is making people aware of what is happening.

Child abuse is a silent epidemic, and it seems as if it will stay a silent epidemic unless we the people are heard once and for all.
These children we fight for may not be our own,we do not share the same DNA, but we love them unconditionally and fight for them everyday.
Every child deserves to live, and yet their lives are taken away by the very ones who created them.

We are reaching out to you seeking your help , Christen will rest in peace when we give him the justice he deserves along with the rest of our little angels
