I was contacted today by a mother asking if we would post this letter on our website. The child addressed in the letter below is 14-years old; the pedophile who wrote it is 40-years old! The mother wanted to share with the public in hopes that it will give others a better idea into the “mind of a pedophile.” Child molesters do not have a conscience, justify their actions, and groom their victims into thinking the molestation is either normal, or happened because they wanted/asked for it. This letter will prove that…

Saying “Scooby Doo” at the drive-through window of a North Side Wendy’s might have brought certain patrons something extra in their fries — a memory card with videos of child pornography. Asking for “chiva” at an East Side restaurant, Anna’s Café, wouldn’t have brought out an order of goat meat, but an illicit delivery of heroin. The off-the-menu items stood out Wednesday among the run-of-the-mill details in a docket of immigration violators, gun smugglers and drug peddlers in line for sentencing in front of U.S. District Judge Xavier Rodriguez.

Sexual exploitation and victimization of children is a worldwide epidemic. We can sum up society’s historical attitude toward this epidemic in one word: DENIAL. Most people do not want to hear about child molestation, and would prefer to pretend that it just doesn’t occur. We know, however, that this is simply not the case. In order to stop this abuse from occurring, we must discover ways to increase our awareness as a whole, and become proactive as opposed to reactive. The key to preventing sexual exploitation and victimization of children is education. If we want to stop these terrible, ugly acts, we must teach our children to become aware and proactive.

If legendary football coach Joe Paterno were still alive he would most likely be facing criminal charges for his part in the Jerry Sandusky child-sex scandal. The damning Freeh Report leaves no room for doubt that Paterno was certainly aware of allegations of Sandusky abusing young boys in 1998 and may in fact have assisted in covering up reports of the molestation. And even though Paterno’s death in January of this year rules out any criminal investigation, the report by former FBI director Louis Freeh casts doubt on Paterno’s stellar reputation. READ MORE HERE
