Convicted child killer disputes warnings
Again, much like the Megan’s Law cases, I have to ask, if this man is so dangerous that you have to harass him and warn everyone in town about him, why was he ever released from prison? Aren’t early releases determined by whether the prisoner has been rehabilitated? If he is rehabilitated, than leave him alone, and if he’s not, he shouldn’t be out of jail. Why is this so hard for people to get?
The fine folks over at Friends in Tech, a group that includes your’s truly, have updated the on-line child safety flier. Go get yourself a copy, and feel free to print it and hand it out to any parents who could use the information. Check out the links in it as well. There’s a lot…
I’ve been meaning to blog this since we saw The Village a couple of weeks ago, but I keep forgetting! So here it goes. There’s a scene in the movie where Ivy asks Lucius why he isn’t afraid like everyone else in the village. I thought his answer was one of the better definitions of…
It looks like For Better or Worse , the comic, is bringing sexual assault to the funny pages. While it doesn’t involve a minor, it does involve the sexual advances on a girlfriends’ much younger daughter. That’s all too common, and probably all too familiar to folks who have dealt with childhood sexual trauma in…
Pin I’m sure by now that you’ve head the accusations made by actor Anthony Rapp against Kevin Spacey that involve Spacey attempting to sleep with a then 14 year-old Rapp. Yes, it’s take more than 30 years for him to come forward, and yes none of us really know what happened that night. Apparently, even Spacey…
Pin Am I sad that there are fewer child abuse advocacy groups on Facebook overall? Sure. But, what makes me sadder is how many legitimate advocacy groups fell massively short of their duty to tell the truth to their followers. How many continued to share these theories well after they were disproved in some bizarre effort to show how much more they cared about children, while diverting attention and resources from real victims and organizations trying to help them.
So no. I don’t feel sorry for you if your page was taken down by Facebook for violating their terms of service around spreading disinformation. You owed real survivors, and the people who followed you to learn more about true child abuse stories, more than that. You are right about one thing, child abuse and child trafficking is an incredibly important issue. Spreading lies doesn’t help that message, it provides the rest of the world an excuse to ignore it. If you truly want to advocate for children, stick to the truth, or suffer the consequences.
There’s nothing like a disaster happening over the holiday weekend to remind us not to take anything for granted. We are not guaranteed anything in this life, and we should cherish each day for what it is, and consider ourselves lucky to have had the chance to live it. I know, even through all the…
