If the Texas Board of Pardons & Paroles grant her parole, she could be a free woman in August, 2012.<br /><br />Every one is urged to write letters protesting her parole.<br /><br />Serving 19 months for the brutal, horrific death of her daughter, 4-year-old Emma Thompson, is not justice for Emma.<br /><br />In July, 2010, Abigail Young was sentenced to 20 years to be served in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) prison.<br /><br />She immediately appealed her case in the Fourteenth Court of Appeals. On 1-10-12, the 14th Court affirmed (denied) her appeal. Then she filed a "Motion for Rehearing". On 2-29-12, the <br />14th Court of Appeals "Overruled" her motion.<br /><br />As of 2/21/12, Young is in Parole Review status!<br /><br />I wish Women in Crime would do an update to Abigail Young's story.<br /><br />Please write a letter protesting parole for Abigail Young. You do NOT have to be a Texas resident to submit a protest letter for review by the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles. <br /><br />Letters can me mailed, e-mailed or FAX and MUST include Abigail Young's pertinent TDCJ info:<br /><br />Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice<br />Victim Services Division<br />8712 Shoal Creek Blvd., Ste. 265<br />Austin, TX 78757-6899<br /><br />Email: victim.svc@tdcj.state.tx.us<br /><br />Fax: (512) 452-0825<br /><br />Reference: Young, Abigail<br />State ID: 08428403 <br />TDCJ ID: 01668233<br />Placed on Parole Review: 2/21/12<br /><br />There is a thread set up for Emma Thompson on Reality Chatter.

The poor dad who learned the hard way what was meant by "hard lemonade" as opposed to "lemonade" had to move out of the house while CPS investigated and his court-date finally came around.<br />Yet an active herpes infection gets an administrative yawn.<br />A woman claims 'no boyfriends' but obviously she valued something about his money or his anatomy and she valued it above telling the truth and above the safety of her children.FleaStiffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837830811566745662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-38254419403181659722009-08-19T22:37:04.493-04:002009-08-19T22:37:04.493-04:00The Houston Chronicle ran an editorial yesterday b...The Houston Chronicle ran an editorial yesterday backing the investigation. They're contending that CPS's mandate is too confused, since its goal is to keep the family together, and that law enforcement should have been brought in to investigate instead. Whatever happened here, we need to figure out how to keep it from happening again!Kathryn Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04469242532804571817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-86201276254354004962009-08-19T19:50:53.415-04:002009-08-19T19:50:53.415-04:00As a former CPS caseworker in the State of Texas, ...As a former CPS caseworker in the State of Texas, I completely agree with Jeannine, and think that Perry was right to demand an investigation. Just because a person is educated does not mean that they can't and won't hurt their child. Did the worker interview the children? I hate to make assumptions, but Sounds like she/he did not. Too sad.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360870434724744043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-59842363888954827442009-08-19T14:49:35.495-04:002009-08-19T14:49:35.495-04:00As a CPS worker myself, I am a little confused as ...As a CPS worker myself, I am a little confused as to why the "genital" herpes was not enough to support sexual abuse. Herpes does not come from a toilet seat and a nurse would know that - a social worker most likely would too. Somebody at the office was having a long day and was too tired to put in the effort.<br /><br />As for the dog story - not buying that one. Of course not, the self-absorbed brat needs psychiatric counseling. This is a bit over the edge for a temper tantrum. I don't think you can pin this one on post partum stress either.Annikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168460611705270777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316617410436977874.post-67102604558245160162009-08-19T13:18:58.137-04:002009-08-19T13:18:58.137-04:00AMEN !!!!!!!!AMEN !!!!!!!!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15651225350506387416noreply@blogger.com
