Multiple sclerosis (MS) afflicts the central nervous system, causing unpredictable and varying symptoms that differ from person to person. About 1 in 700 people in the United States is affected by this disease. Multiple sclerosis usually strikes between the ages of 20 and 50, and affects two to three times more women than men. Although there is currently no cure for MS, there are treatments that can slow the progression of the disease and enhance the quality of life for people who have this condition.


My decade old battle against my multiple sclerosis

I was diagnosed with very mild RRMS Jan. 1995 after one MRI to see why there was burning sensations in my neck. The Avonex injections at $1000 a month for 4 years I was on damaged my heart and caused my 1996 mild MS to rapidly escalate to the 2001 progressive MS I live with today. I am totally disabled now- I take NO medication specifically for multiple sclerosis now. In 2006 I was hospitalized for 3 weeks after going completely NUMB from the waist down in a multiple sclerosis flare up. I am legally blind, have foot-drop and am unable to walk unassisted more than 3 car lenghts unassisted. I fall easily and have broken all my toes and most ribs in the last 5 years. I choke easily and have to watch what I eat and drink. I get confused in my thought and speech patterns often. In other words, 'it does not compute...' I know more people with M.S. than ANY other disease.

Children's Memorial Garden Est. May 2008

There have been over 3 dozen deaths of babies and persons under age 22 since 1980 in my tiny community with a population of under 3,000. I moved here June 1982.

 All deaths have been tragic...but none to me more than that of Evan Bailey:  This Citizen of Laurel Lake Commercial Township remembers our murdered child.

 November 17,1980 little 9 year old Evan Bailey (black) was abducted from Vineland, NJ (currently the Forman Mills Parking lot). His abductor was a 20 year old drifter whom had already murdered 3 minors within the past year.

Malcolm Joseph Robbins Jr. (white) from Rockland, Maine was one of 11 children-he himself had been brutally abused, neglected and tormented since the day he was born. Robbins had been sexually molested by 2 former husbands of his mother.

By age 11 Robbins had already been sent to reform school for sexually molesting younger boys. By age 16,Robbins traveled across country with his 40 year old gay lover.

Robbins had killed a 7 year old male Steven Little on Christmas Day 1979 in Texas, 17 year old male Brian Lepko 1-29-80 in West Virginia, a 6 year old male Christopher Finney 6-15-80 in California  before taking 9 year old Evan Bailey.

Evan was brought to Laurel Lake Commercial Twp. Cumberland Co. N.J. to a empty mobile home on Battle Lane where he was repeatedly VICIOUSLY raped. Evan tried to run but was finally caught & grabbed by Robbins whom slit Evan’s throat. Then Robbins proceeded to beat Evan and stab him numerous times.

Amazingly, Evan was still barely alive when Robbins took his tiny body and dumped him on Millville side of Laurel Lake where Evan breathed his last breath. (A very dear friend whom lived here during that time sent me this info recently:   " He ( Robbins) was renting the double-wide on Battle Lane & Poplar with his bi-sexual lover. A juvenile last named Clifford also lived there with the two--with his mothers permission!")
Robbins was arrested and charged by the Millville Police Dept.-- Retired MPD Det. Garton was in charge of the investigation. Law enforcement officers from 6 states came here to question Robbins on their unsolved murders. The 1st case Robbins confessed to was to a Dallas, Texas Detective whom came here to question Robbins. The Ca. murder of a 6 year old boy named Christopher Finney on 6-15-80 was the 1st murder Robbins confessed here in Cumberland County, NJ to. Robbins finally pled guilty to murdering Evan 4-27-81. He was sentenced 8-7-81 at the age of 21 by the Cumberland Co. Superior Courts Judge Steven Kleiner. He was given a mere NJ sentence of life with parole opportunity after 30 years.

Malcolm Joseph Robbins Jr. has been sitting on the California death row since his sentence there on 5-13-83. Thank you California for giving Robbins a proper sentence! I will always remember the violent death of little Evan Bailey whom fought valiantly for his life against all odds here in Laurel Lake. 

Evan Bailey will forever be my community little
"guardian angel".

In memory of this angel child:

"I shall take this child and place him among the stars,
he shall twinkle at twilight, and blow kisses to Mars,
he will ride the Milky Way, his laughter will melt Saturn's rings,
and there will be beautiful colors, dancing bears, funny things.
He will be read to by the angels who wear funny hats,
and he'll get to see the man in the moon,
he'll jump rope with Peter Pan, make sand castles on a beach head dune.
He'll surf with wild horses as they cut across the great divide,
and he'll eat bowls of ice cream, and he'll seek more than hide.
and you will sit quietly and look at the stars,
and know he's there playing, blowing kisses to Mars,
he'll sleep on soft pillows, and get up at midnight,
he'll do what he pleases, and laugh all the time,
and you will sing God's praises, he'll hum to the tune,
and wait for your arms to build castles on dune.
He'll find the lost city, he'll be a pirate's first mate,
and all the while he'll be at Heaven's gate."

I challenge any group of law students to review my 3rd cousin's case. My paternal grandmother was his first cousin. Clyde Hysler was executed in 1942 (he killed no one ever-never charged with actual hands on murder when arrested at age 18 yet he was sent to his death)via the Florida electric chair. I and many believe wrongfully; this is a most tragic case.

  • Remember:
  • 85 to 90% of sexual assaults on children are committed by people the child already knows and trusts - a relative (almost always male), family friend, baby sitter....... yet in the news and in many programs supposedly designed to help prevent sexual abuse, the emphasis is overwhelmingly upon avoiding, escaping from, and being wary of and around "strangers" - people whom the child DOESN'T know, and whom are responsible for a maximum of 15% of all child molestation - probably considerably less, since many cases where a child is harmed by a close relative (father, uncle, cousin) are never reported, but instead "dealt with" (or not, as the case may be) within the framework of the family itself, to avoid shame and other reality-distorting emotions which simply don't apply to "strangers". This sad and often tragic situation continues to perpetuate itself, via catchy slogans like "Stranger Danger"  and misguided use of community resources to make children ultra-cautious about the one category of people responsible for the **least** amount of harm, while virtually ignoring the vast majority of dangerous people and situations which the child may encounter.  The reasons for this sorry state of affairs are pretty obvious: 1) "Stranger" molestations are uncommon, unexpected, often random and unpredictable, and usually very public and dramatic in nature: they cause a lot of fear and uncertainty in the general population, who do not usually use cold-blooded statistical analysis when deciding who or what to be afraid of, or how to prevent or minimize harm in general.  2) Molestation and indeed, all manner of harm by people close to the victim and trusted, is a much more common occurrence than people are often willing to admit - and being common and often predictable (as in "Always thought uncle Jim was a bit *too* friendly with little Jennie...."), they don't make the news or cause alarm as often as the far less common, more "sensational" cases where "strangers" are involved., and 3) As mentioned above, most people are ashamed to admit that someone they know and trusted, took advantage of that trust to cause harm such as child molestation or "domestic" violence.  Also, in many cases, especially where the father is the perpetrator, the victim often continues to feel affection for them and doesn't tell anyone that the abuse is happening - and even when they do, it is often a case of the child's word against their parent or relative, and for various reasons (fear, dependency, misplaced affection...) the adult is often the one who is believed.  That said, lawmakers and those entrusted with wise use of community resources, should put emotions and misconceptions aside and take a good hard look at the facts and figures - and act accordingly.  Yes, they are "representatives" of their constituents, but they have also been entrusted with great responsibility, which they should exercise in accordance with reality, instead of personal or societal perception or prejudice.

    "History of Marijuana as Medicine covers from 2737 B.C. to Present: Over 4,700 years! Deaths from Marijuana v. 17 FDA-Approved Drugs (January 1, 1997 to June 30, 2005)
    Total U.S. Deaths Reported from  1/1/97 - 6/30/05:
    Doctor prescribed medications causing death: 11,695
    Marijuana: as primary cause of death: possibly 2 "
     
    Legalize doctor prescribed medical marijuana now for those dying, in great physical pain, legally blind and with various long term autoimmune diseases.
    Would I as a law abiding middle aged female take doctor prescribed medicinal marijuana for any future problems I will have due to my multiple sclerosis?
    The same disease the federal government declared me perminately disabled with in 2001 in just a few weeks after applying?
    Would I legally use the same illegal marijuana plant that's been used by native peoples around the world for thousands of years, instead of blindly taking rapidly rushed through legal FDA approved drugs that are maiming and killing innocent people?
    In a New York minute! 
    Every one that knows me knows the AVONEX weekly injections at $1,000 a month for 4 years as the prescribed MS treatment damaged my heart causing many future MS prescribed medications unavailable to me. My current drugs for M.S.? NADA-none-zip-zero...everyone that really cares about me knows I was at deaths door in April 2006 due to legally doctor prescribed medication drug interactions.The great rehab facility after being discharged from SJHS took me off every single med. used for my multiple sclerosis. I get pains in my feet and legs so bad from muscle spasm I literally go to bed and cry as there is nothing to help me. I'm amazed at the adults my age in this area addicted to legally prescribed drugs for every ache and pain- their doctors ought to be shot for creating these addicts- people fall asleep that are addicted to those type prescriptions and never wake up.
    "Whether or not the prevailing medical community accepts marijuana as having "accepted medical use" is of little or no consequence as it does, in fact, work for some people who suffer from a plethora of medical afflictions. When I think of some of the best times I have ever had in my life, I recognize that none of them were for my own good. Hauling sick people from their beds or locking people away for long periods of time, or anytime, for smoking, eating or possessing small amounts of cannabis in the privacy of one's own home, in the interest of public safety, is government at its worst. 
    We have learned nothing from the 18th Amendment or the prohibition of alcohol in the '20s and '30s. Alcohol, a far worse substance in regard to its destructive effects on society, brought nothing but corruption to law enforcement and the legal system in general.
