After only about an hour of researching the guidelines and protocol of renaming county, state and/or federal hwys, roads and/or bridges , there is little to no way the renaming will ever happen.
Rather than having the children memoralized by an inanimate object (bridge, statue, etc) I propose that we look into a 4 Angels Scholarship to assist working mothers with affordable, safe daycare. I don't mean this as a condemnation of the Mother, as I'm sure she was doing the best that she could. I've been a single parent and I know how difficult it can be. But, perhaps if other day care had been available to her, the children would not have been with this monster.
The GRCMA program is available to help low income families pay daycare expenses. I know there is often a waiting list on that program. The way it basically works is they provide a voucher to participating daycares-you might want to check with them about having funding set up through the scholarship you mentioned. Their number is 473-1060.
I would like to commend the councilmen/women of Bayou La Batre for voting on the Maritime Park in honor of the children. I hope this will be one of many tributes for the children.

I also agree that renameing the bridge is not a great idea. I like the daycare idea however, and maybe alot of the donations should be made in honor of the children. This is what I would vote for considering the children. Had there of been a daycare that would be pubicized, like WIC or Medicaid for children, then the kids may of been here today and the mother would have been at work with no worries from her loser husband.
So by doing this we are going to give this sick guy what he wants huh! Making him famous. Isn't this what wanting when he arrested to be famous so we are now talking about renaming a bridge inhonor of a aweful crime. This is so sad yes we need to remember these children but not remind everyone about something that is unthinkable. Let these Angels rest in peace. Lets not make this animal in no way feel like he has done something. This mother has had enough. Lets just let this family heal if there is a way that this can happen. I can not imagine this. I can imagine a parent of either gender doing this. Lets not forget but lets not remind either. Bad enough he is sitting in a warm cozy cell and being feed three times aday.
