A Texas court is sending an urgent message to child protective services agencies across the country: Stop harming children in the name of “protecting” them, according to a national child advocacy organization. The National Coalition for Child Protection Reform responded Thursday to a decision by a court in Texas ordering the Texas Child Protective Services agency to stay away from a 14-year-old girl. Such “orders of protection” are common in domestic violence cases. “But we’ve never heard of such an order protecting a child from a child welfare agency – until now,” said NCCPR Executive Director Richard Wexler.

When we see accounts of child molestation on the news, perhaps we feel vulnerable and frightened. Can anything be done to protect our children? We ask ourselves, “How can anyone use a child for sexual gratification?” Even though occurrences of child sexual abuse may disgust us, the practice is still rampant. It is estimated that 12-24 million women in the United States have a history of incest. We can protect our children by learning the dynamics of molest, learning the history of molest, and becoming informed of the reasons people tolerate the abuse of children.
