A Child Abuse Victim Speaks Out

Posted by Sandra On November - 15 - 2012 Comments Off

Am I crazy?

Am I depressed?

Does this only happen to me?

Why do I feel so lonely, so empty?

Why am I scared to interact with others?

Why I am I not as courageous and strong as the other guys?

Why do I feel that people hate me?

Why am I leading such a life?

I had to deal with such and a lot of other questions like these when the “black dog” (depression) started haunting me some years ago. It may be hard to believe that a 15-year-old boy would have to deal with something as serious as depression, but it is true for me and others like me ? people who have been victims of child abuse.

Rapper Angel Haze Releases Song About Being Sexually Abused As A Child

Posted by Sandra On October - 28 - 2012 Comments Off

Up and coming rapper, Angel Haze, released a song titled Cleaning out My Closet which has left critics in shock at the brutal honesty that pervades through the track, chronicling Haze’s experience as a sexually abused child. The song is a personalized rendition of Eminem’s 2002 hit song, “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” where the rapper goes into graphic detail of his troubled childhood and resentful feud with his mother.

Haze’s version lays out a harrowing narrative about being repeatedly raped and sexually abused from the age of seven by a much older man. According to her account, the pattern of abuse lasted well over a decade and spiraled the now 21-year old into an emotional whirlwind of depression, anorexia, and suicidal attempts. The song is gut-wrenching and cuts through the façade of mainstream rap revealing an intense and personal story that much of the rap audience can relate to. The song is part of a six-track mixtape titled, Classick released this past Thursday. READ MORE HERE

Author Asks, “Can Everyone Please Calm Down About Child Abuse? “

Posted by Sandra On October - 27 - 2012 Comments Off

My Opinion: Either this lady is extremely ignorant, or she needs to visit my site and educate herself on child abuse statistics before stating such ridiculous claims. Child abuse has been declared a worldwide EPIDEMIC. I encourage Ms. Fox to visit our website! Maybe we should all contact her and invite her!?

Claire Fox states”Yes, Savile’s crimes were horrible. But let’s not spread fear by imagining child abuse to be widespread.”

Jimmy Savile was a repulsive individual who indulged in vile, degraded, abusive acts. On that we can all agree. But what is less a matter of consensus is how we should respond to the scandal. When I argued on Newsnight this week that we need some calm reflection and that the whole of society should not be reorganized around child protection, it started a minor Twitchunt, and I have been accused of everything from being a BBC stooge to a callous apologist for pedophilia.

My Name Is Emma ~ I Was Molested

Posted by Sandra On September - 16 - 2012 Comments Off

Child sexual abuse is a form of child abuse in which an adult or older adolescent uses a child for sexual stimulation. Forms of child sexual abuse include asking or pressuring a child to engage in sexual activities (regardless of the outcome), indecent exposure (of the genitals, female nipples, etc.) to a child with intent to gratify their own sexual desires or to intimidate or groom the child, physical sexual contact with a child, or using a child to produce child pornography.

The effects of child sexual abuse can include depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, propensity to further victimization in adulthood, and physical injury to the child, among other problems. Sexual abuse by a family member is a form of incest, and can result in more serious and long-term psychological trauma, especially in the case of parental incest.

Behind the Story: Heartbreaking Child Homicide Investigation Interview

Posted by Sandra On September - 13 - 2012 Comments Off

I never imagined I would pressure a grieving family member into giving me an interview.  But I was desperate. My deadline was looming and there was still an important piece missing from my story: An interview with the aunt of a young boy who was beaten to death. His aunt’s name is Katrina and she had agreed to meet me at the cemetery where little Christopher was buried. Then she  stood me up. I really needed this interview. Finally a few days later, I gathered the strength to pick up the phone one last time. She didn’t answer, so I left a message telling her that I would be writing about Christopher’s death with or without her. I wanted to do the story justice, but for that, I needed her. A few minutes later, she sent me a text…  READ MORE HERE

Moms On Methadone Caught In The Middle

Posted by Sandra On September - 1 - 2012 Comments Off

Rebecca’s  obstetrician was off duty on the day she went into labor in 2010. That was a problem, because Rebecca was taking methadone on doctor’s orders. She had been prescribed it eight months earlier, in an effort to help break her addiction to Vicodin. Doctors told her it was the best thing she could do for the fetus growing inside her. But that did not matter to the hospital staff, who seemed sure that Rebecca was abusing methadone. Between contractions, Rebecca tried frantically to convince the staff that she was only doing what her doctor had ordered. Her son, Sam, was delivered via Caesarean section in good health: 8 pounds, 1 ounce. But instead of waking up to Sam’s face, the first she saw was the surgeon’s.  READ MORE HERE

The Story of My Rape: 23-Years Later

Posted by Sandra On August - 25 - 2012 Comments Off

I told no one. For so many reasons, I told no one.

I knew him. Hell, I’d had a crush on him for years. Co-captain of the football team. Swoon-worthy. The talk of mid-night sleepovers with the girls. So I told no one.

I’d walked outside with him — into the dark. I was drunk. When he kissed me, I kissed him back. So I told no one.
Because had he not done what he did, I might have. Oh hell, I would have.

Had I had the choice. But he took the choice away.  And I told no one.

Because I thought it was my fault.

Yeah, he pulled the trigger, but I walked outside with him, said the voice.

Into the dark.

When he kissed me, I kissed him back.

I handed him the gun, the voice told me. It must have been my fault.   READ MORE HERE

Couple Charged, Then Cleared, of Child Abuse Tell Their Story

Posted by Sandra On July - 21 - 2012 Comments Off

Skin red raw and peeling, two-year-old Adelle Tung was crying with pain when she was admitted to Liverpool’s Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in May last year.  There were angry burns stretching from her lower back down to the backs of her knees. She had to be given morphine to ease her distress. Concerned doctors questioned Adelle’s mother, 25-year-old Natalie, to try to ascertain what might have caused her injuries — which looked to them like scalds from hot liquid. But Natalie could offer no explanation other than that Adelle’s wet nappy had split during the night, four days earlier, and had covered the sleeping toddler with crystals contained within the absorbent padding. This was dismissed by one medic, who, it is claimed, snapped: ‘If nappies were that dangerous, they wouldn’t sell them.’ READ MORE HERE
