It makes me sick to my stomach to hear these evil things being done to innocent children, so I live in a bubble. Kudos to you for making a difference in their sad little lives every day. You rock, Mama.

I worked with a JITS team which was working along side police investigating the worst of serial abusers and sex offenders. I lost the ability to do this work when pregnant an animal told me he would rather have sex with a baby than a child becoz a baby can't talk. <br /><br />I made a personal choice to turn my back on child protection and now work with parents of disabled kids that want to keep their kids at home.<br /><br />PS the word verification just happens to be "pregos" - how bizarre!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618963181449655124.post-71805433957022798782009-11-05T12:16:58.990-06:002009-11-05T12:16:58.990-06:00Have you thought of being a lobbyist for an organi...Have you thought of being a lobbyist for an organization that speaks out on behalf of children?

They make me sick to my stomach and I obsess and I freak out until I want to vomit, so I try to avoid them sometimes, because I feel helpless. I feel inadequate. How can I possibly help everyone else when I am struggling to keep my own child safe every day? How can any of us?<br /><br />But we need to.<br /><br />We need to speak up for the children who cannot speak up for themselves, who do not have advocates in their parents. <br /><br />It takes a village.
