The former First Lady of Arkansas and of the United States, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, wrote the book “It Takes a Village,” based on an old African proverb that it takes a village to raise a child. This is never more true than when it comes to protecting children from what seems to be a growing number of sexual predators, those who work in law enforcement say. Authorities want it known that sexual predators in Greene County should know they are being watched, they are being reported and investigated and they will be prosecuted by a team of experts dedicated to protecting children. And, “the villagers” need to know their role in protecting children from becoming victims of sexual predators.

Let right people know we’re sick of nightmare; time to provide better protection I am 64 and a survivor of severe child abuse. I pay close attention to all articles on child abuse. An article May 12 took my breath away and touched my heart. It was written very well by Tyler Treadway.

Back in my day there were no outlets for us who suffered from abuse. My abuse went as far back as when I was 5 years old and continued until I left the nest at age 18. Serving my country in Vietnam and later raising my own family, I raised my children from learning experiences as a child. To this day I continue to express verbally to my children three important words: “I love you.”

An accusation of child abuse against a former French minister has sparked a major row in the wake of the charges against Dominique Strauss-Kahn for attempted rape. Luc Ferry, a philosopher and former education minister, told a TV chat show that a former French minister had previously been caught at an orgy with young boys in Marrakech in Morocco. He said senior government sources, including a former prime minister, had told him about the incident, but would not name the ex-minister involved for fear of libel laws.
