defend children

My father-in-law wrote this song in honor of Chelsea King. For those of you who haven't been following the news lately, Chelsea King was a 17 year old girl from San Diego who was raped and killed last week. Her alleged attacker was a convicted sex offender (of a minor) who only served 5 years of the potential 30 year term, and was then released.

take that in... it is horrible. This should not have happened.

It is our goal to raise awareness and change child rape laws in order to keep our kids safe! Please view and let us know what you think. You can also visit www.defendchildren.com to educate yourself further on this issue. Thanks for your time and support!




you can see an interview of Mike Speed here as he talks about the issue.

This is heart breaking. It is astonishing that a convicted sex offender gets a second chance only to take a life! is that what someone must do to be put away?

her last seconds on this earth...goodness this poor girl.

This is beautiful Katie. My little brother was friends with her and they took AP classes together. He said she was such a friendly person.

The same sex offender has also been linked to 2 other missing girl cases, one in escondido and one in oceanside. PUT THEM AWAY FOR GOOD!

I think that what your father in law is doing is just wonderful and the song is incredibly touching.
