Adam 

A Child is missing

This was the first child that I can remember ever vanishing without a trace, Adam Walsh. It was July 1981 and a 6-year-old boy became missing in Hollywood, Broward County, Fl. Hollywood is in the south end of the county.
I was in the north end of Broward County working in Deerfield Beach Florida. I had been a Police Officer for two years when we received the BOLO (Be on Look out) for a small six-year-old boy missing from the Hollywood Mall. A brief description and that was it.
I had a six-month-old child at home and couldn't imagine what the parents of that child were going through. Not knowing or understanding, Why? We were Praying and hoping that Adam would be found alive. Wondering where he was, wondering if he would be OK, Just the unknown terrifies everyone.
Later on, (seemed like weeks later) The Hollywood Police Department put out a BOLO for a van. Many Vans were stopped by Law Enforcement including by me. I searched and questioned a driver who stated he had never heard of the Adam Walsh Case. I found that hard to believe and reported him to the Hollywood Police Hot line.
About a month later they found the head of Adam Walsh in a canal in Vero Beach off of the Florida Turnpike. Now this became a nightmare. Who could do such a thing? What kind of a monster would do this to a child? One thing for sure a monster committed this act. The worst thing was, this was a child. Help stop tragedies like this one from occurring again and please support the Polly Klaas Foundation and Missing Children www.missingchildren.com/. Together we can make a difference.

This is such a sad case. I remember the movie Adam,especially the part when his father received confirmation that Adam's skull was discovered and there was no more hope. I have so much respect for John Walsh. Thanks for spreading the message and helping to get these monsters off the streets.

First of all I want to thank you for stopping by my lens, as I feel privledged that you came to mine somehow. I support Law Enforcement 100%, stickers, donations, and designs I have made. What a terrific man you sound like, and I thought that was John Walsh standing next to you in the picture. We need tons of more people like you.

I do believe that God sent you my way, as out of nowhere, there you were. What a job police officers have. I don't think there is a wage high enough to do what they do and see what they see.

Just know that I admire you, thank you for your service, and for what you are continuing to do now. Bless you always! Kathie

Adam Walsh 

Love endures forever, by the Grace of God.

Adam Walsh 

Code Adam is among some of the Walsh's accomplishments.

Adam Walsh 

It is not the will of God for anything bad to ever happen to a child. When it does Jesus reaches out and pulls that child into God's Kingdom, no questions asked. The Kingdom of God is made for children. Every Child will be a Prince or a Princess in God's Kingdom.

Adam Walsh 

The Parents of Adam Walsh can not bring Adam back but if they live a righteous life through Jesus Christ, one day they can go and live with Adam.

Adam Walsh 

God's Kingdom is not of this world, it is a world to come. Thy Kingdom Come. God will wipe away every tear from the face of this earth.

Adam Walsh 

Adam Walsh from the Motion Picture, Adam.

Jesus Christ 

The Second Coming of Christ is upon us!

All Power in Heaven and Earth has been given to Jesus. Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill the law. Blessed are those who believe and do not see. Blessed are those who are not ashamed of Jesus and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ 

Jesus loves all the children of the world!

Have not you heard, He has risen! The Second Coming of Christ is at hand. Judgment Day is at hand. Repent ye, and believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ 

Jesus is the resurrection of the body and life everlasting!

Jesus testified that, "This is a evil, sinful and adulterous world". The world hated him for his testimony. In a evil, sinful and adulterous world bad things happen to children. It is not the will of God for bad things to happen to children. Believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Revelation of Jesus Christ is at hand. Judgment Day is at hand. Every Person will be judged according to their unselfish deeds here on earth. Anyone can be born again and start over, but ye must be born again in spirit and truth. Believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Repent and turn away from sin and evil.

Jesus Christ 

Let the children come to me!

Concentrate on the 4 dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 seconds. Then take a look at the wall and start blinking your eyes. You will see a circle of light...continue looking at that circle, and watch the miracle of God appear!

America's Most Wanted! 

Let's find missing kids! It is about time children got the same attention as criminals.

John Walsh has made his life's work helping other people. John has received many death threats from convicts who do not approve of the work John has done. John has made his life a commitment to helping others, even when people threaten his own life and his family. Keep up the Great work John and please support America's Most Wanted. I feel Fox or another network should have a show just on missing kids, helping parents find their children would be a big success and I believe people would watch it like just like America's Most Wanted. Let the people at Fox know if you believe this to be true either click on the link or copy and paste the link to your browser and send them a email. It would really be nice if children finally would get the help that they so desperately need.

Tears of Rage 

by John Walsh

"Tears of Rage" is the book about Adam Walsh, written by John Walsh. John wrote everything as it happen to share with the world, what they had and did not have back in 1981 when Adam became missing. John told everything has it happen. It is a book worth reading.
