I am just a mother on a mission!
I was one of those parents who thought this type of thing would “never happen to me.”
We lived in a small country town and my mother & stepfather babysat for me
to KEEP THEM SAFE FROM HARM while I struggled & worked the night shift.
I mean, if you can’t trust your own family, who can you trust, right?
WRONG!!!
The day that I walked-in & caught my stepfather molesting my 5-year old innocent daughter
was the most HORRIFIC & TRAUMATIC moment of my life.
–My world (and hers) as we knew it had just permanently changed–
On our way to the police station she looked at me and saw me crying.
She was wrapped in only a light blanket–
It was the only thing I could quickly grab as I rushed out of the house with her.
She said, “Mom, don’t cry. It’s okay…We were just playing our secret game.”
My heart SANK!!
How could I not have seen the signs?
Why didn’t she tell me?
How did I not know?
I wanted this man to pay for what he did to my daughter!
He confessed to molesting my little girl from the age of 2-5 years old!
HE STOLE THREE YEARS OF HER INNOCENCE, TRUST & CHILDHOOD!
I went through every emotion possible from shock, denial,
depression & even suicidal–then finally anger.
Even though he was prosecuted & sentenced to 15 years for CSC 2nd Degree,
It still didn’t seem like enough.
So, I actually went out & purchased my first handgun
With the intention of serving my own justice,
but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it.
My child had already been through enough trauma.
WOULD A JURY HAVE FOUND ME GUILTY?
It depends….
Because if any other parent had witnessed what I had to witness that horrific day,
By God, I cannot see how ANY jury could ever find a parent GUILTY!!

I am convinced that if I had known then, what I know now, I would have seen the signs–I would have KNOWN something was wrong–I would have been able to STOP IT! I know how hard it is to comprehend HOW or WHY anyone would hurt our innocent children but, the reality is THEY DO. I have spent many hours working on my websites–hoping & praying to educate just ONE MORE PERSON–Because, for each new member educated on child abuse, is yet another chance of possibly saving an innocent child. My goal is to help educate others based on my own personal experiences, extensive research and firsthand knowledge of the turmoil, trauma and life-long effects abuse can have on your life.
Educate Yourself—Learn The Facts
This can happen in ANY household–Male or Female
It only takes a few minutes to look over our site
But, the knowledge gained will last you a lifetime.
It could just save a child’s life!
TOGETHER WE “CAN” MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

I can not, and will not, close my eyes in the face of abuse,

fully knowing what is happening to our children and knowing it will continue…
