Silent No More
I will NOT be silent anymore...Children are our future and we need to do what we can to protect them from falling victim to the same violent crime...That is why we must stand up for ourselves and let what happened to us be known...so we can hopefully stop it from happening again to another innocent child...

It is very important that we contact our local government, congress, legislators and who ever it takes to get the laws changed for victims of incest, childhood sexual assault and rape. It is so unfair for the victims to be told that there is nothing they can do against their perpetrators because their statute of limitations had run out by the time they found enough courage to come forward and get help. Being sexually assaulted affects the rest of your life and is very Debilitating. Why should the perpetrators be able to lay their heads down at night and get a peaceful nights sleep? The mental cruelty that the victims have to go through is so unfair. You feel trapped, ashamed, guilty, you feel powerless, dirty, unprotected, empty, hopeless and very confused, you have countless nights sleep because you are to nervous and afraid to go to sleep at night because you feel so unsafe, you feel all alone, you feel like you are living in a nightmare, you want to wake-up out of it but you can't. It is so very important that we survivors of this awful crime break the silent secrets of sexual assault. There is no shame in telling our truths. Speaking out will help break the cycle of this heinous crime.
