Children should be taken seriously

I beleive Lisa Manshel was fair and wise in her taking the sides of the children. Anyone who could believe Kelly Michaels didn't sexually abuse the children in her care must not have children. This book was written about Miss Michael's first trial, and in my opinion, the "True Justice" trial. In 1993 (long after the book was published) the decision was overturned because of the judge's questioning of the children. Because the judge screwed up enough to make some appeals court overturn the ruling does not mean the children lied. Kelly Michaels was out at first, only because of posted bail ($75,000) and the state couldn't afford to try her again...And the poor children. Tsk tsk tsk.

My Mother believed that children could be told what to say .

Thats the point in this story a lot thought that the children where beening told what to say ' even if a child is' it still does not fix the fact that children would not know where to put the jelly not even if one told them where ' and one could not get such things off a T.V. unless mom an dad are letting there children watch such things so that would make them just as bad as the one that is sexual abuseing the child . this book told enough to say to us to check people out don't trust the Adults because they have a piece of paper that is saying here my mined went to school .. BULL ... I think the writier done enough to let us know that people with high grade papers can also harm are children . this is a must read for all Mothers an Dad's that have children in day care . read it an check your childrens day care out don't take peoples word for what they say when it comes to your child .. I thank the Author for this book ...

Nap Time by Lisa Manshel

This was a sick book! not by the work of the author but by the the subject of the book! this book was about the sick woman named Margaret "Kelly" Michaels who abused over 20 kids sexually during her employment at the Wee care Daycare Nursey in maplewood nJ. its a true story! a must read for all mothers consitering leaving their children in the care of others. The one thing i have walked away from this book learning is that my child (7.5 mo) will learn the proper names for her private parts! just incase another sick person like Kelly Michaels is anywhere near my child!

Informative - Pay attention to your kids

A shocking wake up for parents. Please read it if you can get ahold of a copy. An innocent face means nothing in todays world. Look at Jefferey Dahmer, look at Ted Bundy. Kelly Michaels is up there with the rest of the monsters, and what's worse is, she's alive and out of jail.
