In all honesty if I thought there was anyone out there who had the power to organize a group of people to rally in protest, to obtain signatures for petitions to send to the senators and governors of this nation, someone to initiate the help of a qualified attorney(s) to help draw up realistic and justifiable mandates to put these Sex Offender/Murders in prison for life or death penalty, someone to set up a group dedicated to collecting finances to make these things possible; I would join in a heart beat. We need to do something even if it is by way of a signature on a petition. If anyone knows any information about the "Justice for Christopher Foundation", please notify me. I have heard very little about the foundation and would like to know more about, what sort of goals the foundation has for changing the laws to protect the rights of all children, the needs of the Barrios Family financially, and educating the community. If you have any info., please notify me.

It is imperative that we act now as the story of Christopher's death seems to be fading from the news headlines and falling into the shadows of meaningless press coverage over "Anna Nicole Smith, Brittany Spears" and other irrelevant B.S. What about the children? What about what is happening to our country by way of the increasing crimes being committed against our children, the sex abuse, child porn, killings and physical abuse. This country has a serious problem with Teachers sexually abusing their students all over the country, children being abducted and strapped to trees and being molested, Parents murdering their own children after sexually abusing them and returning home to crawl into bed with their spouses!!! By the way in 1994 the Edenfield father was charged with "incest" the press would only say it was not with his Son. But get this it was his Daughter! What the hell? Does anyone see a pattern here, if this sounds out of control it's because it is! If teachers and parents are getting away with it, then why the hell not a neighbor? These laws need to be changed and instilled at the core of our communities. But how can laws be changed when just yesterday the Barrios family sat in court a just a few feet from the murders (Edenfields) who took his boy's life? The Edenfield's dressed in suits, the mother trying to look dignified in a plaid dress while sipping on water during the hearing. These animals are being provided extra security by way of extra officers surrounding them for their "protection" from the public (people outraged over their crimes).

The support from the public who showed up to the court house displayed shirts that read "Justice for Christopher Barrios." They were told they had to remove their shirts from being displayed in the court or they would not be allowed to enter. You tell me why in the hell these bastards (Edenfileds) deserve to be protected, where was little Christophers security protecting him from these monsters!? Why is that woman allowed to drink water at her will!? Do you think they offered Christopher a cup of water while they had him in their possession!? Why were they given Suits and dresses to wear why not just the orange jumpsuit and chains at there ankles and wrists as a criminal. Do you think they fully clothed that poor child's body after they were done with him!? These are the things that outrage me, these are the small things we allow in our country that make way for insufficient laws that allow these criminals to walk among our children. What can I do, can you do to stop these atrocious criminals and the laws that protect their rights? I have signed the petitions. What else can I do?
