My name is Rene' Swanson. I am a Detective Sergeant with a police department in Georgia. I stumbled across this web-site when I typed the name of a child abuse victim, Joella Reaves, in the google search. What a beautiful tribute that Kenneth Hudson made for Joella. All Joella wanted was a family. Not much to ask from an 11 year old child. That "family" took her life. Unfortunately, I have worked many cases involving the death of children. None like Joella though. I want everyone of those precious victims, to be remembered and I will do my best to see that they are. Thank you to whoever designed this site. God Bless you all.
