      <description><![CDATA[Emily H<p>I am the mother of an infant with severe lissencephaly.  I am also an attorney.  The arrest of Erin Markes is a miscarriage of justice and demonstrates ignorance of the course of the disorder.  Erin Markes has endured the pain of seeing her child suffer due to a condition that is not in her control.  Now, she is forced to endure the additional pain of being separated from her son at a critical time.  The real cruelty here consists of the misguided actions of the relevant authorities.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Stephanie Eplin, Okeechobee, FL, United States of America<p>I feel for Erin and her son, DCF has too much power I know from experience. DCF took my kids when I left my abusive ex-husbad. And now I am fighting to get my children back. All based on a word and lie DCF can come to your house and take them away. Charlie Christ needs to step up and fix this problem. I regret voting for that man.</p>]]></description>

I have the greatest of admiration for this very young woman, doing this alone. yes, bed sores are all but inevitable, as is the weigth loss and chronic illness. exonerate her!</p>]]></description>

I&#039;m only six years older than Erin and I know how difficult it is do this is..alone at that. Believe me, if she&#039;s taken care of him for four years, she is quite the expert in his care. Our kids are charged with 7-10 years of life anyway, please consider his best interest. It was no accident that she was given a special needs child, please let her do her job just as I was chosen to do mine.</p>]]></description>

To loose a child is the most horrible and difficult thing imaginable. it never goes away. at the least i have great memories of 14 years with my son and they are great. We spent many great vacations in destin. i wouldn&#039;t take anything for those memories. i lost my son in the blink of an eye. i dont know how this teenage mother deals with the thought of losing her child everyday. i really feel for her.</p>]]></description>

This mother needs to be free and cleared of any wrong doing and needs to be with her son again.

Please do the right thing and make sure she is exonerated and with her son. Thank you.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Kelly sory, Laurel Hill, FL, United States of America<p>with the research I have done, I believe that Jaden should be with his mother until his last days.  It means something when an organization backs the mother.  This is not because she is a young mother or that she is neglecting her child.  He has a medical condition that affects his digestive system, a disorder that prevents him from being well nourished.  As a parent myself, I&#039;m not sure I could handle this situation as well as Erin has.  Give Erin time with her son.</p>]]></description>

How did she take thisbaby home from the hospital when she was 15 years old.  This child would not have lived this long if someone wasn&#039;t taking excellent care of him.  I just can&#039;t believe she has done it on her own for so long and then these are probably the same doctors that ask us why we do what we do to help these children, that have reported her.  Give her support, don&#039;t jail her!</p>]]></description>

Educate yourselves on these rare diseases because as our population grows so will these terminal illinesses.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Mrs. Susan Edwards, Midlothian, VA, United States of America<p>One of my best friends has a child with lissencephaly.  Her child is 7 1/2 and only weighs around 30 lbs; her child falls below the &#039;average&#039; for a child of her age, yet she could not have better care.  Her small size is a direct effect of her condition.  Her family does the best they can to keep their child as happy and healthy as possible with this devastating condition.  To take Erin&#039;s child away based on the stated allegations is unbelievably cruel and unfounded.</p>]]></description>

She was absolutely not abused but her weight and failure to thirve a direct result of the devastating syndrome.  She was a happy, beautiful child and she died in my arms.</p>
