Girl, I feel for you. I'm soooo sorry to hear the BS thats going on in Newton. I don't know what advice to give you. It wouldn't hurt to call the local news. Have you spoke with anyone at Newton, possibly just calling out of curiosity, saying maybe you've been watching the weather. I'm sure they would say everything is fine. It's worth a shot to call. I'll keep you and Luis in my prayers and hope this gets resolved soon, real soon !!!

Keep your head up, I know it's hard. Take care. Mel

Maybe there's some kind of Prisoner Right's Activist, if I said that right. That wouldn't mind getting involved. Good Luck!!!
