Donna Norrishas been a child safety campaigner since the murder of her 9-year-old daughter Amber Hagerman in 1996... (wikipedia)
She was just a giggly little 9-year-old girl.
He never met Amber, but it's still hard for him. He cries and he has to stop. But he likes to help me, and her.
I would tell him the 'Bad Man' took her and did this to her. The name just kind of stuck.
The AMBER Alert to me is bittersweet. It's wonderful to bring children home where they belong, but what if we had the AMBER Alert when Amber went missing?
The whole neighborhood was close-knit. It always was safe. It was for me.
Sometimes I want to curl up and die. I can't put into words how hard it is. But I'm not giving up. Amber was a fighter, so I'll be a fighter. We don't want any more dead babies.
