A/N: Hi guys, Sammie here. I know these messages are hated because you were probably expecting an update of this story that hasn't been done in 6 months, but I'm here to tell you that it's very unlikely that it's going to be finished, since I've moved on from the Criminal Minds fandom and decided to go into a smaller fandom, Kim Possible ( I know what a transition, haha ) Who knows though? Maybe I can come back to this fanfiction one day. I just don't really know where to go forward with this story. I've had issues like this in the past where I had a severe case of writer's block, and I would come back to a story and finish it because the idea will hit me.
If you really enjoy my writing, I highly recommend you read a fanfiction I'm writing for Kim Possible, called the Rebellion Against Global Justice. (If you love the Hunger Games by Suzanne Colins and The Giver by Lois Lowry, I think you'll like this story) Personally, I think my writing is a lot better on this fanfiction than any other one, including The Troubled Children. I was only sixteen when I published that fanfiction. Now, I'm nineteen, and I feel like my writing has matured since then.
If you want to keep in contact with me, my tumblr is listed on my profile at the top.
In case I don't come back to this story, thank you for everyone who has kept up with The Troubled Children and These Children are Loved. I hope you understand that I'm having a severe case of writer's block when it comes to Criminal Minds stories. I would like to thank a user named Dextolan, who really introduced me to the Criminal Minds fandom, someone who really mentored me throughout my writing process. For those of you who don't know her, I highly recommend you check out her stories, they're amazing.
Thank you all,
~Sammie050301
