Since Google announced the new community feature for Google+, I thought creating a community for survivors would be a fun way to experiment with the feature, and see what we could make of it as a group. Not making any promises, but thought it’d be fun and interesting. We’ll see what happens!

I just went live with another blog on the site, Survivors News and Reviews. The idea is for this to be more of a group blog, but I’ll let the welcome message over there speak for itself. Let me know what you think!
I managed to get all the content from the old site that I wanted to move, moved over the weekend. The “shell” of the site is in place so now I begin working on additions to the content. The layout is going to remain as is, for now. I’m happy with the simple look and…
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.
Sorry, for those of you who have a TypeKey account, I didn’t add the code to actually allow you to sign in using your Typekey registration and leave comments. Ooops. Hopefully it’s working now! OK, so it isn’t working. The Typekey site tells me that this site hasn’t turned the feature on, when, obviously, I…
Pin The headline is something I’ve been reminding myself of over the last few weeks. You see, about a month ago, my father fell extremely ill and was hospitalized. I chose not to travel across the country to see him because I had other things going on, such as work and dental surgery. However, I stayed…
This being the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, it’s a good chance to take a step back and remind yourself all that you have to be thankful for. I’m not going to bore you with a list of all the things I’m thankful for, but this year, with all the changes that have gone…
