One voice could save generations of children

One voice could save thousands of families

One voice could give a countless number of children the right to be a child

One voice could allow a child to bask in the innocence of childhood

One voice could stop another child from being sexually abused

One voice could give strength to a scared parent, to come out of denial and save their child

One voice could give a child strength to tell

One voice could prevent an abuser from hurting one more child

One voice could convince someone in the family to stand up and say, "NO!!!" "This is wrong!!!"

One voice could change Everything!

Be the voice that makes the change!

If you know a situation where child sexual abuse is happening or has happened...regardless, of what anyone has told you, It Is Wrong!!!

If it is a friend, TELL. You will save their life! You may lose them briefly, but you will save them forever!

If it is you, TELL. Even if it is a parent, grandparent, family friend, Aunt, Uncle, Mom's boyfriend. Tell someone you know you can trust. Tell a teacher, a friends parent whom you trust. The school adjustment counselor. It will stop happening, and you will be safe. There are good people that care about you and want to help you. If you are too scared, then let them be your voice. If you do not know or believe you can trust anyone, call the police. You may choose to speak with a either a male or a female officer. You may go to them or they may come to you. Teacher; Parents; Friends and the like, if a child comes to you with this...they are scared. Do not turn your back on them. They are often brushed off by a parent who either, doesn't or does not want to believe. PLEASE, be their advocate, be that voice!  If your child tells you their friend is going through this, take it SERIOUSLY! Be their voice! 

If your child tells you they have been abused, LISTEN and listen carefully. Do not brush it under the rug. Do not be ashamed, or think it will ruin your family/family name etc.. Instead, know, by not speaking out, THIS will do unspeakable long term damage to this child. Make sure you take immediate action! The abuser will strike again and again, hurting your child and others. 

If you have been a victim of abuse and are now an adult, you may choose to press charges. Check with your states statue of limitations. By doing something legal, you are being a VOICE for so many other victims. TELL everyone who needs to know. Tell people who have children in the neighborhood, tell teachers and childcare providers in the district. It is really scary, but so brave! By being that voice you are a HERO!

If you are being abused and are really scared and lost as to what to do, please call the national child abuse hot line at 1-800-4-A-CHILD

You can also help a child by calling this number and being their voice!

An update on the HOUSE! Oh the house that was so important to the family members and the reason one little girl had to be the, "sacrificial lamb," sort of speak, ummmm, since Monster died, the house has been put on the market. Someone told me recently, they thought it had sold...and for not that much. Well, hope it was all worth it to them. I have tried to wrap my mind around it but still makes no sense at all. Just like it never made sense, when i pleaded with that family member to not have children around Monster.
In these crazy circumstances, all we can do is pray for the victims. I pray that the little girl and all of his over 50 years of victims will find peace!
