My Words!!

I would like to thank the many people who have sent me emails since I posted my contact details.
Your words of encouragement are fantastic!!
I didn't realise this site had such momentum and how many people have great idea's to help raise awareness. Keep posting this website address everywhere you see fit. :)

I would just like to point out that I have been reading up and Iain Henderson seems to think that this site is all one big lie and because I will not disclose who I am then I have no character.
"The website justice4maeve.blogspot.com, which supports Keran's conviction, attacked the group for making the trip near the time of the anniversary of Maeve's death, but Mr Henderson said: "There are always nasty comments on that website which are completely needless and very often wrong. The person who is running it does not even have the strength of character to say who they are so I don't want to respond to comments they make."

So in answer to that I will say this:
There would be no nasty comments on this website if it were only a one sided view like the caring site that is Carers4carers.

I chose to let people have an opinion, he forgets that I do let people speak FOR Keran as well as against. He forgets that I, the person with no strength of character, have listened to their views and although they contradict mine, I still take them on board (the Poll about Keran, the Original Headline).

I may not want to be known but don't dimiss me as someone with no strength of Character because you want to belittle the site.

I have Strength and Character ..... I stand up for what I believe in and I may not want to be known Mr Henderson, but that is because I do not need to be - I can get what I want to say across to many people without highlighting my position, without shedding tear's and without telling just one side. (last time I checked I have attached the link to the Carers4carers website so people CAN read both sides).

I can get people to read this site because they want to, because they need to hear another side of the story and I can do that through the old fashioned method's with modern powers that would be "Word of Mouth/Internet".

I don't feel the need to stop anyone speaking on behalf of Keran Henderson and just because I am a threat to Iain Henderson does not make me want to step down.

Last week I got caught between a war of words and bowed out, "packed my suitcases and left" because I wasn't where I thought I wanted to be, but I was so kindly told to "stand up and be bold enough to be heard", so I am back and now I will take the moderating more seriously but i will not stop people from having their comment and opinions heard!!

Statement from Maeve's Parents

I would like to apologise to everybody, my internet connection seems to have failed me and I have lost many comments.

One I did manage to save was a comment from Maeve's parents Ruth and Mark Sheppard.

"We would like to say "Thank you" to the person who has set up this blog site. This has given us some comfort to realise not everybody out there will blindly follow the media's coverage and the so called facts given by the Henderson Campaign. We would like to state that the verdict was correct, although the sentence was too light.

We also wish to state that we do not align ourselves with Keran's Campaign and we find it highly distasteful that in light of our silence they have taken it upon themselves to publicise that they are running this campaign for ourselves and Maeve.

We would also like to thank everybody for their kind comments to us. Maeve was a beautiful child and she will always be sorely missed.

Mark and Ruth Sheppard."
