Froggy's World

By Froggy213

Thought's,Feelings and Ideas

I would say I am in one of those moods where I need to give you all a piece of me.

The picture above says it all.

For those of you that haven't read my other hubs,or no not what I have been enduring,hopefully you will by the end of this hub.

Much of this hub will be described through photo's.Please read on to understand a grandfather's grief.

My Life

I was born in 1963 to a military couple who soon divorced.My brother and I stayed with Mom and moved to Iowa.We were latch-key kids.Mom worked many hours and I was the man of the house.I took care of my little brother.

All of a sudden,Mom brings this man home.Next thing I know,they're married.He bosses me around and treated us like crap.When his real daughter's came,he would spoil them and make us work,work,work.

I begun to hang with some of the "bad influences" at school.Crime became my passion.Around the age of 12,I was breaking into houses,stealing guns,jewelry.I was doing drugs.I just lived like there was no tomorrow.

At 15 I ran away to Colorado and have been pretty much on my own since.

Mom divorced that guy years on and moved to Nebraska.She was a lot happier.

I kept doing crime until at 17 I got caught in a major burglary.That happened in Denver,Colorado and I was given 5 years probation after sitting in jail for 2 weeks.I was scared,but I didn't show it.I would have fought anyone.

Moving on,I skipped out on probation,moved to where my Mom was in Nebraska and settled down some.You see in all this time,God had been really working on me.Bibles in odd spots,people telling me about Jesus,different things like that.

Marriage

I was staying with Mom and the neighbor's had a girl my age I met one day as I was mowing the lawn.I was doing real well;no crime,no drugs.I was even taking some college courses and working full time.

She was beautiful,understood me,and we loved each other so I asked for her hand in marriage.We were poor and had hardly anything,but we had love;that's what mattered.

Prison

Times were tough and I sold marijuana to make ends meet.A little after 1 week after finding out my wife was pregnant with our first child,I got busted."I sentence you to 3-6 years hard labor"the judge proclaimed.My wife screamed in agony.

Back to being a badboy.Prison is no place to be good;I fought at the drop of a hat,sold "pot" and other drugs,gambled,and any other bad thing possible.

The time was getting close to having the baby,I decided to do what I needed to to get out.I took college courses,drug treatment{while still doing drugs} and the parole board let me out.There were "lifers" telling me I would be back."Not me" I said!

Powder

I did good for awhile,but after my parole was over I found a new money-maker--cocaine.It started rolling into big stuff.My partner and I would have 250,000-500,000 dollars worth of cocaine on us most of the time.

The war on drugs had gotten big!!!Our "main man" got deported and we reverted to the "poor man's cocaine";Crystal meth.I became quite addicted and was staying awake for weeks at a time.I weighed maybe 130 lbs,but people were scared of me nonetheless.I was a crazy maniac.

My wife left.By this time,we had 3 kids.Thru absolute stupidity,I was thrown in prison again.

God

I broke.I was at the point of suicide.An inmate who was doing life for killing a cop when he was 16{he was in his 30's then}invited me to Christian fellowship.That evening,I fell on my knees and asked God's forgiveness through our Lord Jesus.I felt a change.I wanted to do right;didn't always work out that way,but there was a noticable change.My wife noticed it along with many,many others.

I,by no means,am perfect,but I try to live in God's Word.

My family was and is my main priority since I gave up all the stupid stuff!

The Lake

We decided it would be best for the whole family to move close to my wife's family.There wasn't anything holding us there in Nebraska,nothing but trouble anyway.

I was normally a metal worker but the construction was booming at Lake of the Ozarks,I worked construction.Our kids all were doing real well;good grades,football,just all around great kids.

I ended up finding a job a few miles south in the metal fabrication trade.We bought a house there and made plans of this being our retirement spot.Our boys were on there way out into the world.Our daughter was almost a senior.and "boom" she got pregnant.Marriage was in her plans,but not his.We took her in our arms and told her all we'll be fine.She got a pretty good job and prepared to be Mommy.

A few months and the miracle of birth came true--little,no actually big,Jonathan Henry was born.The reason I say big is he was 10lbs 8ozs.

Bruiser and Paw-Paw

Wow,a boy I can give my all too.I can give him even more than I gave my own children.Jonathan and I were one.He was spoiled,yea I say spoiled from his Paw -Paw.As he got a bit older I spent tons of time with him.I worked third shift and my daughter was working days ,so we watched Bruiser{my nickname}during the day.He would wake me up to play or turn on the Wiggles,his favorite show.

The Loser

My daughter met this guy she really liked.They went out a couple of times and then I met him.I sure didn't like what I saw and after talking with him,I didn't like him for sure.I caught him in lies and he admitted being in prison before too.

It seemed to me he was "on" something when I met him.

My daughter started seeing more and more of him against my wishes.She would take Jonathan with her and we were seeing less and less of him.I think they had a Romeo & Juliet thing going;I didn't like him and I voiced it.Amy moved out and in with him.

Broken leg

My wife would go over to their place so she could see Jonathan.She claimed David always tried to keep Jonathan away from her.Amy worked a lot of hours and relied on David to watch Jonathan.

One day my wife went over and Jonathan was crawling,not walking like he was,but crawling.David said he was playing with a neighbor toddler and the other child knocked Jonathan over and sprained his leg.My wife asked if they had it checked by a doctor:David said no,Jonathan would be fine.My wife raised a stink until my daughter took Jonathan in against David's wishes.

Jonathan's leg was broke!

Ice storm

Last winter this area had a major ice-storm.My wife and I were actually trying to get along with our daughter and David.

The ice storm ended up seeming like the perfect opportunity.We lost our electricity but David and Amy's was still on.My daughter invited us there to there apartment until we got electric back.

That first night we discovered that Jonathan was sleeping in a walk in closet in their room,when there was a second room.We questioned this and David said he was worried about an enemy of his and didn't want Jonathan any where near the front door.My wife tore into my daughter for this and Jonathan was moved into the spare room.

While we were there,there were comings and goings of "friends"of David at all different hours.Finally I talked my wife into taking Jonathan and going to her sister's house;Amy went for it because of the possibility of losing electric there.

When the storm was over,I hotlined Dept of Social Services.They were given a caseworker.

Red Tape and Manipulation

It was in this time zone that I really realized that my daughter was being manipulated.He didn't hardly work,she paid the bills.I found out she was even taking out payday loans to keep up.Naturally,that just puts you farther behind.

We had a car that was still being paid for we let her drive.We insured it and told her he was to never drive it.He had finally got a job at a restaraunt and we saw Amy's car wasn't at her work one day.We found out David had it.A friend of mine and I went to get the car and David ran out of the restaraunt to the parking lot to ask why we were taking "HIS" car.We fought and I was getting the better of him when the other employees broke it up.The police came,I proved it was my car and took it and he got fired.Now he says it was my fault he lost that job;I know he was told he wasn't to drive that car.

There were fights at different times and Amy would take Jonathan and come home for a day or two until he would call and cry that she was all he had,he would kill himself,that we didn't love her only he did;he used all kinds of manipulative techniques.I know,that's some of the things you learn in prison.

There was one night that Amy called and said there electric was off but David went out and it came right back on.I reported him and supposedly he is on probation for that now.

Department of Social Services

They moved into the cheap motel behind the restaraunt in this picture.My daughter was very angry with me over the car and the fight.She wouldn't let me see Jonathan.She would let her mother every once in awhile.She also was pregnant again.

I was all over there case worker at DFS,but all she did was argue on behalf of David.The caseworker told me that David had a hard childhood and I should understand.My wife had noticed it was difficult to change Jonathan's diaper,he would go nuts and wouldn't want anyone near him.Jonathan was depressed and we saw it and voiced it but the caseworker wouldn't listen.

The caseworker said to me that when she visited just Jonathan and David one day{Amy was at work},Jonathan tried to run out the door.David said get back here bub and Jonathan came right back.The caseworker said that was a sign of no abuse and I argued;to me Jonathan would have kept truckin-I would have had to get up and get him because he knew Paw paw wouldn't hurt him.He knew David would hurt him so he came back.She didn't agree.She also NEVER checked his bottom after we told her about the diaper problems.

There were many other incidents too,I can't go into them all for reasons I'm sure you will understand at the end.

NO!!!!!

The call came on June 23rd,2007;Mom,the baby,come to the hospital.I was working on my truck,my wife took the car and went;we assumed something with the unborn baby.

I had just finished the tuneup and my wife called,"Get here quick!"she yelled into the phone,"It's Jonathan".I raced to the hospital and I held Jonathan when he was pronounced dead.I screamed,my boy,my boy come back PLEASE!!!!!!!

Jonathan had one cut over one eye and a bruise on the other side of his face.David claims he fell in the shower while he was with him and Amy was at work.

I really can't go into depth on what I know,what the police have NOT done,the ,what seems,coverups of mistakes.The battle will rage on until the TRUTH prevails.Jonathan didn't fall in a shower,I have already found that David WAS involved in the drug trade around here.I was in prison once,I know who to talk to.

The main reason I told you all about myself and my early life is so that you may understand why I am so adamant about this.Twenty years ago I probably would have just killed David,this is the way my inner spirit tells me to handle it now.

I have made many sites in honour of Jonathan.

Please take a look through these sites;he was my BRUISER and I love and miss him very much.I WILL NOT give up this battle for his justice.He is in heaven now,but NO CHILD should EVER have to go through this.No Paw-paw should have to either.LET'S MAKE OUR GOVERNMENT OFFICES THAT HANDLE THESE THINGS MAKE CHANGES TO HELP THE CHILDREN!

TEARS IN HEAVEN

Another heartbreaking story about an innocent baby and the evil "Boyfriend" and the Social services F*#K-up! YOU all get caught in the crossfire, as well! I have babysat abused children, I KNOW how they are SOOOOOO  overly obedient lest they piss off someone & get Re-beaten! They were 4 and 2 at that time! I thought it odd, and I realized why, when I saw them around their dad.  How unfortunate that brains and common-sense are not pre-requisites for jobs with Social services monitoring abused children!  As far as YOU'RE concerned, It is no surprise that you ended up in a life of crime after having parents that didn't help and care for you! Most kids in that situation end up just like you did, Most without that horrible ending, though!  Perhaps you can take some comfort now in knowing that Jonathan is with Jesus and will forever feel no pain!

you are wonderful...and there is no one like Eric Clapton as far I am concerned.

I can not help but cry as i read your story..so much so close to even my life...just not as severe..drugs are not good. the system sucks..

I have taken care of meth addicted babies..and believe me it isn't fun for them... or any one trying to adobt them. the signs of abuse are so obvious..and these case workers should be more on top of it... I have experienced things i can't even believe...but is good we can speak about it here.

i was one of the first to reply to you after idunn wrote the poem...don't know if you remember..not that it matters. My prayers have been with you nightly though.and God Bless you and yours and I believe you are a special special man. G-Ma :O) hugs

Froggy I am so sorry for your loss. There are no words. As a grandmother I can feel your pain and I add my prayers to all those reaching toward heaven, for you, your family, and justice.

You are brave to write so openly about your life. A lot of us start off on the wrong foot, and make a mess of our lives, but you corrected your course, and took responsibility for your choices. "It is not what happens to us in life that matters; what mattters is what we do with the things that happen to us."

I commend you.

May God bless.

Froggy,

As a grandparent, I can not even begin to imagine how you are suffering with this. I can only hold you and your family up to God in my prayers. Just remember that jusitce will be served, be it on earth or in the face of God. He will have to answer for his actions. May God bless you and your family and congratulations on the birth of Elijah! Please don't become so overwhelmed with grief that you forget to be grateful for him as he is also another gift from God. You are all in my prayers and I will keep up with your updates and anything I can do to help.

To all interested:There is a new investigator on the case from the prosecutors office.He seems to be a good man who wants the truth.He told me he has to start from scratch.What did this investigator from DSS in Jefferson City,Mo do for the months she had the case?Covering up all of DFS mistakes?

I will post here in comments for updates on the case.

Thank you for your prayers and support!

So sad to hear what happened to your lovely grandson. I know they say you cannot make your people do things, but you need to tell your daughter to stop seeing that guy if she is still with him. His crimes will catch up with him, but in the meantime your daughter needs to get out of that relationship. It is only time before he does something to someone else. I am so sorry to hear what happened to you, and I hope one day justice comes from Jonathan.

My heart breaks for all the children that has suffered at the hands of a monster. I was married to an abusive man, he wasn't with me but with my children. I was going to kill him but instead divorced him.

I can't imagine what it would be like to lose a child, my children are everything to me, I would not recover. I know it is frustrating when you can't get justice. I have felt for a long time that case workers should be held responsible for childrens' deaths. Maybe they wouldn't be so lax about it.

You will see Johnathon again. He is at peace and the creep will pay for what he did.

Hello Froggy, I am so sorry for you and your families loss Brother. Things really are out of control in most cities in the United States. The system is so bogged down from all the crime and drugs. I know for a fact that my neighbors are selling drugs and using. The mans wife has a baby and is also teaching in a local school. The drug-heads are all around our home 24/7. Calls to police and cps etc have only fallen on deaf ears. You know how it works, if the issue gets pushed too far it will come to an all out war between me and the couple dozen gang members. I have walked right up in the middle of them a couple of times and told them what I thought of them, but these types of animals only listen to one thing, violence. I honestly do not look forward to what this nation will look like in just one more year of this out of control wickedness thriving in all the neighborhoods of America.

Froggy,

I understand that you have heard this many, many times, but I am truly, truly sorry for your loss.

I am against child abuse, as any human being should be. And there is nothing worse in this world than losing a child. I, personally, have never lost a child, I have four children, but I can just imagine what it would be like... Honestly, I don't even want to imagine. When I hear of a situation like this, my heart breaks, and it makes me want to cry. (See my hub "To the Abuser: You Know Who You Are") My heart is with you Froggy... Know I wish better days for you soon.

Froggy, to tell you that you are in my prayers seems like such a small thing, but in my heart, I know it's the most powerful thing I can do.

There are so many "what ifs" throughout your story. That's truly heartbreaking. What if your mom had never remarried? What if your daughter hadn't ever hooked up with him? What if... But we're here now dealing with the aftermath of so many choices gone wrong. I'm so sorry that you are the one left to deal with all the hurt and anger and anguish. I'm sorry that your Bruiser was taken from you so soon. I'm sorry most of all that Johothan had to hurt. I'm sorry that the system failed him. But I rejoice in the fact that he is now perfect, healthy, happy and sitting at Jesus' feet listening to a wonderful story or playing catch with Him.

Mommy, Please Don't Cry is a book that we received after we lost a baby boy 9 years ago. To this day, it calms an anguished heart. Turning the pages of this beautiful book somehow gives me permission to laugh, smile and be happy. There is something about the most beautiful pictures of little ones sitting with Him, laughing with Him, exploring with Him, praising Him. It reminds me that my he is in a better place than he would have been even with me. I know you're not a mommy, but I recommend it to everyone who has ever lost a child.

I'm so anxious to read the next 4 chapters. I'd like to know how the investigation is progressing. Thank you for being so open with your story. It's one of those that reaches down inside people to touch their souls. God has given you a story to tell. Through it all, give Him the glory and let Jonathan's story be a witness to everyone you meet!

God bless you, Froggy!

I have had no grandchildren die yet, well actually I have, a freak accident and I know the parents neither wished it but if they had taken my advice, turning their wheels of their vehicle in toward their house instead of down a steep hill I had suggested no more than two weeks before that beautiful little girl would still be here. But all I want to say is I know how Social Services and the police are and why do they think people would lie to them nor sometimes will they even go check things out, in cases like that I think they should go straight to jail, they sure have it easy, getting pay and doing nothing! I called them about my grandson (my son's son had his head shaved along with his two younger half brothers and the baby had ear hurt really bad, their mom who has babies for a living and who's oldest doesn't even know who she thinks is her dad is not, kept them out of day care and her family helped her hide the facts. I despise social services, I really do. They are some heartless people. The police are not much better, for months I have been trying to report a major crime and no one will help me. I hope you will think of your grandson as I have started to my granddaughter. I know she made it to heaven, she died immediate death, saving her pain or knowledge she was dying and will not be brought up to be hell bound and just like her parents. She has done what we all must do and will always be that precious little angel. I feel for you, I really do.

Thank you so much for this heart rending story and for your honesty! I am wondering what the up to date circumstances are. I have only just found you on here and I'm going to read some of your other hubs now. I hope it helps you somewhat to share your story. Take care!!

Froggy, I just wanted to say that your story is truly touching to me and I am now in the process of gaining my degree in Child Dev and Social Work so that I can hopefully make some serious changes in the way CPS (or CFS) investigates abuse (of any kind) cases. I too had trouble getting the CPS (here in Texas) to do anything for my nephew who was being sexually abused, needless to say, the perpetrator is still free and the victim still suffering the consequences. God speed and good luck.

your story really touched my heart.i feel for you and i can not emagine the pain you deal with from day to day .like we all know there is no justice for the victim there is only justice for the one doing the crime. human life means nothing anymore,the life of a child should mean more .you do more time n get into more trouble over drugs.it just makes me so angry that that a$$ hole didnt hang.but you know we can not hide from god he will sufer a fate worse then death when god gets hold of him .my heart ,my tears n my prayers go out to you n ur family.you deserve justice that little angel will get justice through god.
