There is an article from the Oregonian that talks about it being the youngest daughter and that the abuse happened while she was a preteen and teen. The abuse happened for about four years. I am sure you can find it on Oregonian website. I can't figure out how to link it.

Utah only joined the PAC 12 a few years ago. It has a lot to do with this.

Cinderella was the pretty, poor girl. The other ones were ugly, rich girls. I doubt Cinderella would have gotten the prince if she was ugly.

Oh it was such a beautiful game. Go Oregon Ducks.

I don't get told anything. No one talks to me. I am not on any texting or emailing lists. I can't help when I don't know about a need.

I have taken meals when asked. I don't hear about anything. I am not on any email or text lists. I tried to be friendly and get to know people at first. I gave up because there is no point. I would help any of them as long as my kids can come with me.

I spend my church time with my children. I don't need the ward members. I miss being in a ward that had people that cared about me. I had many friends in all my past wards. I have nothing in this one. I know the gospel is true. I don't need church to help with that. I didn't learn about the gospel at church. I learned about it from my dad while working with him. It's hard knowing that people who should be your 'ward family' dont care about you at all. I had friends drop everything and come help me at our old ward. They cared and helped my family so much when my daughter died. The ward we are in now wouldn't care.

Thanks.

We moved because my husband felt like we should be closer to his family. I went along because we had nothing keeping us where we were other than work. I keep looking for home and I don't think it will ever be found here. I missed 6 weeks of church with sick kids. No one noticed. I need to get over the idea that your ward can have people who care about you in it. I go for my kids to set an example. I get nothing from it.

I think it's just the straw that broke the camels back. We moved to be by my husband's family. I left a state and area that I loved, friends and my family. The one thing I was told by everyone was that the wards here have lots of youth and how great it would be for my kids. So yeah, I feel tricked by many people. I would never have moved down here if I knew we would be stuck in an old ward with no youth. There is no one my age either. It's very lonely at church. I know the Gospel is true. I just don't like how it's set up with wards.

I know what suffering is. Holding your dead child in your arms, watching your parent disappear due to Alzheimer's, watching my dad and fil fight cancers, one lost his battle with it. I have dealt with this all in the last 6 years. I know what suffering is.

Or I can sell this house and move somewhere that my kids will have other youth. Do you have any idea how hard it is to not have any youth your age? I think you see suffering different than I do.

I have suffered. My life has not been easy. I won't get into that. We had 2 houses that we looked at and liked. My husband and I both got a either house will do when we prayed. I went with this one because I liked the ward better. I can't tell you how many times I have regretted that because of this ward. Some times there are many paths that you can go down. I worry about my kids not having other youth in our ward. It's hard on kids to not have other youth to be around and lean on.

That is assuming that everyone in the church is seeking the Lord's council. I know many do not. People pay for other people's decisions.

I liked my old ward and the one before that. This ward is old with little youth. They dissolved the ward after we had an offer in. We had checked the ward to be sure it had youth. That was all gone overnight.

Not when they just draw lines or you move into a ward. It's hard on kids when they are the only ones in a ward. I have talked to people who helped reorganize wards. They just looked at where to find the best numbers of men. One told me that they were told to spilt the wealthy and poor sections of town to try and equalize the ward. It was like 2 wards in one. They never mixed.

All other churches, you go where you feel comfortable. It would be so nice. We have singles wards, wards based on languages. Why not let people decide where they go?

I know that there are ward's like that. I hate it. I think they should let families go to another ward. We have 4 buildings in less than a half mile.

We have 5 young men now and 4 young women. It's kids from 4 families. It's pretty hard for the kids.

They took 5 wards and made 4. There was no new developments. It's an older part of town with big lots. They spilt it in a way that put most of the youth in one ward. People are moving out of the area and part of it is because their kids are struggling being the only ones their age. I would move in a heartbeat if I could talk my husband into it. We moved from an area that had lots of youth and people in their 30s. I didn't think moving to Utah would put us in an old ward with no one our age. I wish they would let people pick wards.

We went to the ward before making an offer on our house. They dissolved the ward 2 days before we signed the papers. It was horrible. I wouldn't have got the house if I knew this was the ward. My son was the only deacon. There are no girls my daughter's age. It's a very old ward with little youth and not what I wanted for my kids. I don't like how they spilt it. One ward has 95% of the youth for the stake. The rest of the wards have a small handful of youth. It's not a huge area. Like a mile by a mile. I wish they would let you pick a ward in someways. We could go to a ward with youth and maybe people my age as well.

Rudolph started it. I don't see how he can file charges when he started and continued it. He could have walked away and chose not too. He is to blame as well.

I thought the game was about violence. Tackles and hits? It's all about it. People cheer when they can hear a good hit. Would anyone really watch if it was all flag football?

Honor's class in high school are amazing for my son. He will be able to take 2 years of college math in high school because of them. I pay next to nothing for each credit and he should graduate with high school with his associates degree. I never wanted to go to byu or have my kids go. Too many church members told me that it's the only college to go to becuse it's the church's. It's fun to watch them get their butt's kicked in football. I will say they aren't a bad school, but not the only one out there like so many people act.

I went to church with a friend once. They went on about how other churches were wrong. They didn't talk about what they believed, just how others were teaching wrong things. I think she told them that I was coming with her and he set out to prove how wrong our church was. I have no plans to ever go to another church again.
