For those of you who were planning on showing your support for Victoria Martens and spreading PG awareness next month, you'll have to wait.
(recap) October 2016:
According to police, Michelle Martens watched as Gonzales, her boyfriend, and Kelley, his cousin, drugged her daughter before sexually assaulting, strangling and dismembering her. They are each facing first-degree murder, intentional abuse of a child, criminal sexual penetration involving a child and many more charges.
Victoria Martens was found dead in her mother’s West Side apartment Aug. 24, the day after her 10th birthday. https://www.abqjournal.com/862922/trial-dates-set-in-victoria-martens-rape-murder-case.html
August 2017:
The first trial was originally scheduled for October of this year, but attorneys argued that taking an “unusually complex” case to trial so quickly – as required by the court’s Case Management Order – might put their clients’ constitutional rights in jeopardy.
Brown said Chief Judge Nan Nash agreed to sign an order declaring that there were exceptional circumstances in the case, which let Brown push the trial dates back by several months.
She also said the mother’s case would be the “biggest, longest, most complicated one.” https://www.abqjournal.com/1047847/michelle-martins-to-stand-trial-first-in-daughters-death.html
This is such a heartbreaking case, and it's not difficult to see how this is related to PG. I'm sorry that Victoria isn't going to get justice next month, and I'm very curious as to what the "exceptional circumstances" are. I'll do my best to stay on top of this and keep it updated.

I must admit I have been neglecting myself and other things and you are right. You can't take care of others if you are not cared for. Thanks for that reminder:)

I just have to keep thinking good thoughts, but it is so hard after being on here everyday almost all day. It is something we should all work on I guess. Some days are better than others, but the best day will be when people Wake Up. Yes you are right we are richer in love and empathy. They have no love for each other, only fear. Fear that they will be found out and fear that someone will become more powerful than they. What a life.

Upvoat for you and I Thank you for keeping us updated, although the news is sad for Victoria right now. I hope this is not a runaround decision and that she will get her days in court and these disgusting vermin criminals get theirs. I could barely keep it together reading the details. What makes people allow things like this to be done to their children. I have no answer to this stuff anymore. Sick Sick and Sad is what that mother is. Life Imprisonment with no parole. I would suggest another sentence, but that won't happen.
