Utah's ugly secret

As a mother trying to get help through justice system to protect my 2 year old daughter from first signs of abuse, deemed hopeless . She is now almost 5 now, her options counseling to help her deal with what has happened and is still happening. Is this protecting our children? Is this giving peace of mind to mothers who want to speak out with a voice to protect what is most important to them? Yes it is a ugly secret. When are we as a people going to evolve enough to do what needs to be done to protect our children from this epidemic, which is invading the innocence and complete life of all of these children. Why is child sex abuse and pornography spreading like a plague? Because they know they can get away with it. What I have learned don't call the cops. I was naive to whole justice system. The victims are not protected rather its the abuser that is protected with our current justice system. IT IS TIME TO GIVE A VOICE AND POWER TO THESE CHILDREN AND START PROTECTING THEM.
