Last Friday I first got wind of a song written in memory of little Caylee Anthony by Rascal Flatts’ Gary LeVox, Cledus T. Judd and songwriter Jimmy Yeary.  Sung by Shane Hines, a Nashville songwriter/demo singer and titled “She’s Going Places” Kiss Country first played the song that afternoon and listener reaction here has been replicated all across the country both online and off.  People love it…and what it stands for.  She's Going Places will soon be available for purchase with 100% of the proceeds will benefit the National Association to Protect Children.

“When I had the idea to do this song, being a daddy, I just wanted to do something that took the emphasis off the horrible details and outcome of the trial, and focus on that beautiful, innocent, 2-year-old with those big, brown eyes,” said Judd.  According to TasteofCountry.com, the song is being sent today to all major digital music sites, including iTunes, and to radio.

“For too many years, the news media has focused almost exclusively on ‘stranger danger’ cases,” said Grier Weeks, Executive Director of the National Association to Protect Children. “Yet over 90% of all child-abuse victims are hurt by adults in their own circle of trust.”  “Every day, thousands of children like Caylee Anthony are preyed upon by the very adults who should most love and protect them. We believe that protecting children — in the home and in local communities — is the most sacred obligation of all people, and ‘She’s Going Places’ will touch the heart of millions, inspiring them to this cause.” To read more about the song or the National Association to Protect Children, go here.  Course, if you’d like to hear it again, just keep listening to Kiss Country 93-7.
