In The News
It is sad to say that there are just too many news stories to list them here every day.
It is important though that you see just how much news and activity there is out there:
Remember it is estimated that 88% of abuse goes unreported!
A note from the founder, Angus Gilbert:
It is the horrific accounts of child sexual abuse that have lead me to form this organization and to do something, no matter how small it seems right now.
Just as other forms of physical abuse, sexual abuse leaves permanent mental scars on a child's mind - but the sexual abuse scars can go far deeper.
I have been 'aware' for some years, having read Vachss' account of his first encounter with child sexual abuse, but the sickening details regarding Jimmy Savile in the UK, of whom I was a big child fan, spurned me to do something; to take the first step on a path and see where it takes me.
