JOYCE CAROL OATES
Robbie Whitcomb is a happy, precocious five-year-old boy living in Ypsilanti, Michigan with his mother Dinah and father, Perry “Whit” Whitcomb, a popular disc jockey. Whit is mixed race, a source of pain for Dinah’s mother Geraldine. But Geraldine is a mere irritant to this young, happy family, until the day Dinah and Robbie run errands at the local mall. There the unthinkable happens. Robbie is grabbed and taken. His mother is run over by the perp and dragged under the van. Robbie is drugged and placed in a sarcophagus like box where he can’t move and can barely breath. The horror begins. The pedophile kidnapper forces little Robbie to call him Daddy Love. He uses praise to control the boy but acknowledges that “punishment is fun” to administer.
I would not have wanted to read this when my son’s were little. It is a good but horrifying read. But we have to remember that most child victims are kidnapped and abused by people that they know.

Right after readinging this short article, I had to comment on your section of Washington,
DC. I concur with all of the activites and work opportunties, and so on that the region needs to supply.
But I would must disagree that “there are slightly more women than men in Washington, D.C., but approximately 33% of the populace is single.” Somewhat is an understatement!
There are Much more women than males, about 7-8 females far more than men.
Taking into consideration the population’s ethnic history, courting choices and sexualty, these stats vary. Several social organizations, meetups, and clubs host social and cultural occasions, such as relationship occasions that often are in need of far more guys. And due to there be a lot more men than ladies, many of them want to proceed to become single and take pleasure in the several one women within the region instead of settling down to have a family members. I invite you to get a movie digicam for the streets of DC and interview the women and find out what type of suggestions you receive contradictory for your stats.
