Dear Judge


Dear Judge,

Please see me! I am only eight but I am real.

I am only eight but I know much more than you do.

I am only eight but I am not something to be owned.

I am only eight but this is my life not just her's and his.

I am only eight, please wait! This word visitation what does it mean?

Please Judge, visitation only means he owns me, don't you

understand? I too am entilted to a life, for it dose not end at eight.

You can't possible think that this weekend thing makes up for all that I am losing.

I am only eight with no rights at all!

Dear Judge, I will see you in twelve!
