What is wrong with our judicial system today?

Ok, some of you (assuming anyone reads this) may know about the situation with my neice. Well, I just found out today that the courts are going to make her testify against her step-dad, the same man who molested her, raped her, treated her like a canine and worse. Oh, and to top it off, he'll be in the room and able to confront her. She'll be able to confront him as well but she is just a little girl. A very fragile little girl who is scared and has been tramatized. I'm so furious. How could any court system allow her to have to go through that?

The pain and agony that man has caused Willow, her sisters, and everyone else in their families is unreal. No punishment could ever make up for what he has put everyone through. I get sick sometimes thinking about what he did to those sweet, little, innocent girls. Then I think about how hard it is for me to go through this and I feel guilty. Imagine what Willow has been through and will continue to go through. It breaks my heart. I wish, and I pray, that I can do something, anything to help her, but I don't know what that is. How could anyone steal a child's innocence? This guy has damaged every aspect of the girls' lives.

Since November I have quetioned God. That makes me angry. This guy did something so terrible that it has made me question God. God, the one constant thing in my life, my reason for being....and I questioned him. That left me feeling completely alone and helpless. And, it made me even angrier at the man. I questioned God - how do you come back from that? Asking for forgiveness doesnt seem like nearly enough. I've prayed but even that doesnt seem like enough and I know it doesnt happen enough. God plays such a HUGE role in my life - without him I am nothing, and that "man", if you can even call him that, made me question him. Furious doesnt even begin to describe it.

Moving on from this will take more time than any of us involved will ever realize.
