Private Moments at AlteredPerception
June 30, 2003
Wonderful Pontiac Police

I have a staff of approximately 125 women. Too many times I've seen women come to work battered. Unable to come to work because they've been battered or battered and raped. I have no proof, but too many times they come crying to me, scared..who can blame them. Saying they've gone to the police, but they say there is nothing they can do. That's why this story burns my ass....let me share it.

Machekia Robinson went to the Pontiac Police Department seeking help the day after her ex-husband -- the man now accused of her killing -- was released from prison.

What happened at the Police Department depends on who you ask.

Her family said she tried to report being raped by her ex-husband, Daniel Franklin, that day. But police said she merely sought and got information about personal protection orders.

The family's accusation was aired Friday at a news conference held with a family friend -- a distraught state legislator who co-sponsored the law that let Franklin walk out of prison 2 1/2 years early.

State Sen. Hansen Clarke, D-Detroit, said he was sorry for the deaths of Robinson and two of her daughters and promised to tighten laws to prevent a recurrence of such tragedies.

Franklin, 33, is being held without bond on three counts of first-degree murder.

Did you catch that...the asshole should not of been out of prison to start with some damn politician trying to save a Michigan buck allowed him to be released.

Read all about it!

Hi, my name is Casie and I have a little girl that is 9 years old her name is Summer and she was one of the little girls that was killed good friends and classmate, Taria Johnson, It was the sadest thing I have ever had to go thru what do you tell a 9 year old little girl when her best friend was just killed with her mom and her sister, I found my self getting down and feeling sick for the first couple of weeks, I would endlessly look on line for every story and information I could find on it, that monday I took Summer to Taria & Rockell's house to leave a bear and some flowers and it just killed me to watch my little girl take that walk up to that porch and leave that stuff no one should ever have to go thru something like that when your just a kid, at first Summer did not want to talk about it and now she has questions, she says she hurts very bad in her hart and she wishes she could have told them bye she also say if she could only understand why he killed he friends maybe it would make her feel better, we went to the showing and Summer was a brave girl and went and said goodbye to a friends she will miss very much, after that we went home and watched summer's b-day video that was taken on April 19, 2003 just 2 months befor they were killed, Taria is on the video a care free loving kid having the time of her life, now Summer is asking to go to her grave site, it hurts me to see my little girl going thru so much at such a yong age... I just wanted to share my story with you because you took the time out to not forget about 3 people that was take away to soon, Summer will always remember Taria and Rockell may god be with them...
