quote from Vernon Nielsen:

While helping the grandmother repair an outdated computer and setting up some cheap surveillance cameras I bought her for an intruder that kept breaking into her garden and on a couple occasions her home; This wonderfully spirited young boy walked up and hugged me out of nowhere for no reason. I smiled and said the usual, “ hey buddy”.

I tried working with the grandmother and mother to try and find a reasonable prognosis for his condition, hes not “normal” there is an issue with the boy. I realize that were no doctors but the closest we could come without the states help which was reluctant seeming at best, was autism.

If you can imagine a boy at 5 curious about the world who lights his bed on fire and panics for fear of getting in trouble while trying to extinguish the flames only to be partially engulfed in them where “ normal” 5 yr olds would be screaming to mom and dad, you might be able to fathom the depth of the problem here.

Enter mainstream dullard television news editing. I spent 20 hours trying to get in touch with anyone and everyone that could make a difference; repeatedly let down by the mainstream news and the seemingly callous careless nature of their reporting leaving out the fact that while the family dealt with shock in the hospital, a concerned neighbor was trying to find help for a family that is utterly screwed.

I set up a fund with what little money I have to entice others to do the same. two days later my money was all that was in the account; a boys life on the line his future in serious doubt, a community that could make a difference and the few that truly have.

I talked with a friend today that said “ how do you do that?”. “Do what?” I replied.

“How do you care , How do you reach that level of realization?”

“ I have always been empathic “ I replied” I don’t know how others aren’t or how they get there”

I used that window to look at the world and wondered how a badly burned child would ever survive this world.

I reflect on the trauma of my childhood and the apathy of the news for a hometown boy.

I was afraid to call the grandmother and ask how the boy was this evening, fearing the worst because no contact had been made all day by the parents. It was horrible feeling the fear and uncertainty and not wanting to know if he took a turn for the worst; The torment drove me to call finally.

“He’s Going in for a skin graft in the morning” she informed me.

I felt like a vortex had been removed from my heart. After the phone call I went out for a smoke and in an exasperated voice , said “ thank god”.

To you Christian might be trailer trash but to me he’s a sign of whats wrong with the world. Where mainstream news stations just glaze over a mobile home fire as if they are too busy or more worthy than the rest to accurately or fully inform people that a babe is in dire need.

You have a choice; A choice to be more human today than you were yesterday; a chance and a choice to make a difference in the same anonymity that this concerned neighbor makes that choice. to create an energy in the world that works to restore the humanity we have lost.

I hope there is a deeper sense of self definition in people than what they see on television. but lets test that with the life of an innocent child. who is mankind?

Sincerely

vernon nielsen
