Utah's ugly secret

system reform | 11:15 a.m. Dec. 12, 2009
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.
