Awareness of Abuse Can Save Children (Main Forum)

Specifications are needed

Janice Palm’s special column on July 6 [“Failure to be aware of sexual abuse puts children at risk,” Opinion] dwells primarily on Jerry Sandusky with a casual reference to “others.”

While I absolutely agree with everything she said, she missed the boat on specifics. Just who should parents should be “aware of”?

The public has shown a bright light on the “problems” in the Catholic Church, but it should be pointed out that these abuses are not specific to that particular religious group. If we are to be warned, the alerts should state clearly who to be looking for — it’s not enough to say “a youth worker.” Men of the cloth, of every stripe, should be duly mentioned specifically and often.

Religious leaders who use their powers to abuse are the most likely not to even be considered, and are the most likely to be protected through silence and their organization’s cover-ups. Not to mention that parents consider these men to be Godlike and wouldn’t for the world look askance at them — the abusers know this.

Parents and other adults need to have this stated clearly, they need specific listings of who to look for.

================================

This is the Link to my Videos about child abuse and child sexual abuse. Please help stop child abuse, with your help we can make a difference. Be the Voice for the children, give them their life back, abuse and sexual abuse of children, scares them for life. I know, I am a survivor of child abuse and child sexual abuse and no amount of counseling can take away the memories, pain and torment.

Link Here Below to my YOUTUBE channel: and one video about how my daughter's partner tried to cut off my daughter's foot, so she could not run away from him. He was losing control and power over her. 9 years of abuse and he only gets 3years and actually only severs 3months for good behaver, while waiting for his court appearance. where is the justice in this world, for the abused children, men and women. it is about the bug she got in her foot and it took 6months for it to heal. she is still not right.

This is the link here to my 32 Videos:
