The Search for Adam Herrman Continues

Monday January 12, 2009

Officers, search dogs and anthropologists spent Saturday searching around the Whitewater River for Adam Herrman. The six hour search did not produce any clues. The search may continue Tuesday the 13th of January. The Sheriff reports that they are still receiving tips from the public.

I've been having interesting conversations regarding this case. It's different, trying to explain to those who have not parented a child with extreme behaviors, how children with these issues can push a parent's buttons, not to mention show a different side of their personality to the outside world. NO! This is not an excuse to take a child's life or hurt a child in any way. I don't know if this is the case with Adam Herrman, perhaps he was just a target of unexplained abuse, much like Dave Pelzer with his birth mother. There are many children who have lost their lives at the hands of a parent who lost control.

Many are saying the fact that the adoptive parents continued to collect the adoption subsidy - is well, just over the top in so many ways.

What are your thoughts on this case?
