It's hurtful to me...we've chosen to stay here (though with the job loss and everything, we certainly had no real reason to) because we love the town. It's my home, and like anything else I've chosen for my own it can hurt to hear people speak badly of it. It's like they said on the Rant yesterday...Fayetteville has got it's stink all over us right now. I lived in F'ville for a couple of years and it IS a pit of despair. It makes me sad that people (who don't know differently) are viewing us that way.

I guess I didn't pay attention when they name the town. Yes, such a sad, sad story. I didn’t know it happened in your town. I guess I didn’t pay attention when they name the town.

I've not met a single person in Sanford who didn't pray for Shaniya's safe return and then grieve when that option disappeared. All of our hearts were and are with her, and hopefully those who see Sanford through this story's lens can see that. Excellent points.
