These quotes are from real people, people like
you and me, mothers, fathers people who love their children. People whose children have been harmed and many who have
children in harm's way as you read this. This is a tragedy and this does not have to be.
For every quote
here, there are thousands of other parents feeling the same pain. for those of you fortunate enough to have your children
with you than please give a moment of silent thanks and take the time to realize how very fortunate you are.
We
have read and research these parents and feel that they tell the truth.
they are very sincere and only want what all
good parents want, a safe and good childhood.
Many of them are victims themselves but they don't whine about
themselves. They seek justice and protection for the children. However, protection is their main concern.
Yes, it is about the children but we feel that the parents are also very important. They know what is happening, they
fear, they yearn for their children. These are mothers and fathers who give up everything for their children even in
many cases their freedom. Even their own parents (the grandparents) have given up homes, finances, retirements and their
very freedom to try often in vain to protect the children.
Please understand that on some, the names have been
removed or in some cases specific dates or other possible identifying facts removed as we are dealing with real fear and real
danger. Many parents have lost custody for simple telling the truth and/or seeking help.
Please let
us do our small part and try to help. Educate and legislate.
We must say to every member of our society: If you
violate your children, they may not speak today, but as we gather our strength and stand beside them, they will, one day,
speak your name. They will speak every name. (Marilyn Van Derbur) former Miss America}
..... I have done everything
possible to get some fairness on my case - except hire another atty and I can't afford that and it probably would get
me nowhere as I did have attorneys in the past. Appeals, Request for Review, Oversight committee (branch of the supreme
court) AAAAHHHHH! I finally had to give up or go to jail (contempt of court) if I continued pursuing my case.
(See my response
I contacted Representatives, Senators, newspapers, tv stations, etc. No help anywhere.
I had to stop, as I do not want to go to jail as I have other kids with me. But I just cant believe the court can take
all rights to my child away without any allegations of anything against me. It is unbelievable.

Yes there are strangers who molest our kids but they account for only
5% of the incidences. 95 times out of a 100 the offenses are done by dads, and uncles, and grandfathers, and often by our
religious ministers. In a word, the real crime we need to address is INCEST. Wow! what a rude awakening! And why I asked was
no one speaking up, how is such a terrible secret kept by so many of us? Why is nothing said? Nothing done? Why are lawmakers
ignoring the facts.
After all The U.S. Department of Justice has published this information, its right on their
web site for heaven's sake!

My little girls told me in 1999 that their father was molesting them. Medical and mental health experts confirmed the
abuse. And what did Georgia State officials do? Against the girls' wishes, they took them from me and gave them to their father.
Because
I kept insisting that the Court protect them, the Cobb County, Georgia Superior Court punished me: I have not been allowed
to see or talk to my girls since September 2000.
Wendy Titleman she has not seen her children since 2000. No one from her family is allowed to see
or speak with the children.
...I Hope and Pray that the
lives
of our dear children are filled with healthier moments......in my situation....I am always filled with worry...this has been
going on for several years and it is incredibly stressful....many sleepless
nights...I have become a super insomniac....

I had to keep sending my son until he ended up with a head injury, they stopped visitation for ( 18 months
til last hearing) and he is still being put through this reunification.
At the hearing , although my ex-husband
was found to be abusive in front of my child even after all the protective orders, and findings of contempt of orders by him.
I was accused of being covertly alienating and the judge threatened to terminate my rights as well as my ex-husbands.

I am a mother, a daughter, a sister, your neighbor, your co-worker and or friend. I am only one of 'thousands' of Battered
Mothers and battered children struggling daily to keep our children safe ourselves alive. Many have not survived. I dedicate this domain to ALL my many sisters-and all our children, those who have fallen and
those who still stand, being ‘brutalized’ daily, weekly, year after year- by
a system that is supposed to protect, the Courts continue to ‘punish’ battered mothers and our battered children.
United we carry forward the unheard cries of our children.
We are Silenced no more.

A father upset that his son was molested by an older child and none was doing anything
about it, "I can't believe the system. My son is just a little boy and did nothing wrong and he was molested
and no one is doing anything about it."
I love my daughter, Rachel, with all of my heart and soul. My hope and prayer is that my precious
daughter will always know how very much I will always love her and how desperately I miss her. kRISTIN
