My name is Ericksson Harris, As a survivor of mental,physical, and sexual abuse I stand against ALL forms of abuse. I’ve written a book that describes in detail what I went through as a child. I want to share my story with the world, and in the process shed light on this touchy subject that no one seems to want to talk about. a preview of my book is here: http://www.lulu.com/content/e-book/damaged/12838542 .. We all need to stand together to stop this, and protect our children, our future.
