From Me To you Guys…

Today was a hard reminder for me. We almost inadvertently delivered an abused woman back to her abuser. Our hearts want to help, especially when we share missing persons cases, but we realized that sharing too soon can put people in danger. From now on, I will only share missing persons posts if law enforcement asks for help. I encourage other pages that focus on missing persons to consider doing the same. I spoke with organizations that protect survivors, and we can’t ignore the potential risks.

Our heart may be big, but I can’t live with the thought of putting someone in harm’s way.

This is the same rule and policy that TV stations follow

Also , I have asked 4 , TN legislators to consider a law that says photos of missing juveniles must be removed from all media after they are safely located. It makes them an easy target to groom for those who do not have good intentions.

Please understand and join me in prioritizing safety.

All right, folks, serious stuff—but let’s sprinkle a little humor, just to keep it real. So, the sheriff in Lawrence County put out a BOLO for an escaped convict near Iron City. Now, he’s described as a white male, mid-20s, and I know we all want details—but here’s the real question: are we supposed to ask for his birth certificate before calling 911? I mean, “Excuse me, officer, could you confirm if he’s 25 or maybe 26 before we report this fugitive?” Anyway, for your peace of mind, I’ll drop his photo in the comments—stay alert, stay safe!

🚨 MASSIVE FIRE IN PERRY COUNTY 🚨

While many of us were sleeping, firefighters in Perry County were battling a massive structure fire that kept crews working through the night.

Fighting a blaze of this magnitude is never easy—especially with the intense heat and humidity we’ve been experiencing, even after dark.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of the Perry County Rescue Squad and responding agencies, the fire was contained. Unfortunately, the structure was destroyed.

The good news: no injuries were reported.

A big thank you to all the first responders who spent their night protecting lives and property in extremely challenging conditions.
