April Is Child Abuse Awareness Month


I’d actually like it to be more than just awareness, but also ACTION to take a stand against child abuse. The situation is not going to go away, just because you choose to ignore it. Child abuse is not a thing to minimize, just because you are uncomfortable. Being quiet about it is actually helping all of the abusers, not the victims.

The reason it’s important, is because April 25 is Alice Day, a pedophile holiday. Just because a certain pedophile targets boys does not make them gay. With very young children, the gender doesn’t really matter. Classic pedophiles just don’t care, it’s perpetrating the innocence that gets them turned on. What ever you hear about pedophiles not being bad people, think again. Pedophiles sexually abuse children. Good people do not turn children into “play things” or “sex toys”.

Your stance to "not get involved" is perpetrating the abuse.    


Here is a Youth Voice Initiative (YVI) FYI update:
Johnathan and Shawn are on their way to move to Washington State. While this will be a loss for our organization, I wish them well in their new endeavors for a new start, and new adventures to chase what they seek in life.
 
So, we need a few people to try to be kind of regular at our meetings, especially since we need people now, to study a couple of aspects of an issue that we will be compiling to make an educational packet to pitch to our courts, schools, and other counseling places where they help children’s progress after being repeatedly abused. We need at least 1 person on each topic, so, please come to our next meeting to be brought up to speed.
 
1) The info from Help Guide Organization, which is a self-help guide for those who are survivors of childhood trauma and abuse. This may be helpful for those who support those who have lived through this type of abuse. Our entire legal system needs to keep this in mind, when creating, enforcing, practicing, and interpreting our laws.
 
 
2) The Blue Knot Foundation, whose mission is to empower people who suffered from childhood trauma, the research documents 150 years’ worth of studies regarding this topic. There are many psychological and psychiatric issues that may come up, due to enduring child abuse through the young, formative years.
 
 
Our next meeting is April 22 @ 3 pm, because the 16th is Easter Sunday. Hope to see everyone there.
 
In the meantime, there is this important petition called Lika’s Law 4 Wisconsin. We need as many signatures as possible, and please help take it to viral efforts, and make #LikasLaw4Wisconsin be something that is trending. While Wisconsin signatures are the most important, any support is good support.  

Below, I am posting important links. I encourage all to check them out, especially to get signatures on the petition. Here are the links:
