All that is required for the triumph of evil is that good people remain silent and do nothing. (Edmund Burke)
I now know that it is our very silence that allows child
predators to thrive in our society. It is our very silence that
allows them to prey on our children -- our silence that keeps
them from getting the punishment they deserve for their crimes
-- our silence which allows organizations like NAMBLA (North
American Man-Boy Love Association) to exist. And until we STOP the Silence, the abuse will
continue unabated.
If you ARE a victim -- TELL someone -- and KEEP telling
trusted people until you get someone to LISTEN to you and
DO something. If you do not STOP the Silence
, not only will your torture continue, but the
predator will be free to abuse another child the same way you
are being abused. You are probably not the first victim, and
odds are that you will not be the last. Many who are the
victims of their own fathers are fooled into believing that they
are his ONLY victim -- believe me, in 99% of the cases, that
simply isn't true. Statistics show that one child molester has
an average of 50-150 victims over their lifetime.... and child
molestation is one crime which rarely sees the perpetrator
rehabilitated -- they almost always do it again.
If you WERE a victim -- talk, talk, TALK about it! Tell anyone
and everyone who will listen to you. The more you talk about
it, the less your memories will haunt you, and just as
importantly, the more people will realize that this is NOT an
uncommon occurrence -- that it is all too prevalent. And if at
all possible, you must do whatever it takes to have your
perpetrator put behind bars so that they can never hurt another
child again. You must STOP the Silence so that others like you will be less likely to
suffer as you have.
If you have reason to suspect child sexual abuse -- PLEASE!
Call the authorities!! Call your local Children's Services,
tell them what you suspect and why, and let them handle the
investigation. You might be wrong, but you MIGHT be right --
and the chance that you might be right, the chance that you
could stop a child from suffering the destruction of their soul,
is every reason in the world for you to STOP the
Silence!
If you KNOW a child is being abused -- PLEASE! Call the police!!
STOP the Silence and stop this
poor child's suffering!!!
If you know a victim, LISTEN when they open up and talk to you
about their experience -- no matter how many times they bring it
up. You don't need to DO anything but BE THERE for them and
allow them to STOP the Silence.
And ALL of us need to demand stronger laws to protect our
children from child predators!!! All too often, even when
convicted, these people serve a few years (if that) in prison
and are then released back into society to prey on our innocent
children yet again. STOP the Silence! Write or email your congressmen, state and federal,
and DEMAND that they support stricter laws for convicted child
molesters!!

We also need to demand that the law protects our neighborhoods
by informing us when a convicted child molester moves into the
area. How can we protect our children from a monster who wears
the friendly face of our next door neighbor, a church counselor,
a teacher? WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE so we
can take the necessary steps needed to protect our children!!
They lost all their "rights" to privacy when they used that
privilege to steal the innocence of a child! Help to
STOP the Silence that our
current laws choke us with, preventing us from being able to
properly protect our innocent children.
I believe this crime deserves the FULLEST extent of the law --
life in prison without even the remotest possibility of parole!
A child predator MURDERS the soul of a child, STEALS their
innocence, SHATTERS their boundaries so that they are never
quite sure again just where their boundaries should be, TRAMPLES
their ability to ever trust again, and BURDENS them with a
shroud of guilt for something they were totally powerless to
prevent -- and all so they can satisfy their own selfish sexual
desires. The children are left with a lethal legacy, a fallout
of symptoms they must battle for the rest of their lives,
including depression, suicide, self-injury, eating disorders,
insecurity, flashbacks, agoraphobia -- the list is long and
lengthy and extremely debilitating to the healthy growth of a
child into an adult. Their entire life is overshadowed by their
demon memories.
