If you didn't catch the Golden Globes last night, Best Supporting Actress Mo'Nique gave a touching speech in which she encouraged all abuse survivors to "TELL!" Thank You Mo'Nique for being such a courageous inspiration. Amid the glitz and glamor, Mo'Nique found time to bring us back to earth and recognize the tragedy that is child sexual abuse.

FACT: PTSD symptoms usually develop within the first three months after trauma, but may not appear until months or years have passed. These symptoms may continue for years following the trauma, or, in some cases, symptoms may subside and reoccur later in life, which is often the case with victims of childhood abuse.

I come across to many people who have been abused in this way & my heart really goes out to them. Monster's who do thios kind of thing to be put down, litterly.
My two g-daughters were being sexual abused and had to run away from it.They ran to my house.Now I'm being accused of brainwashing them into saying all this even though the person has sexually abuse a child in the past.DCS beleaved him over my g-daughters even though their school,the doctor at chilrens hospital and others have reported it with proof.I still get accused and the girls get told they are making it up.They were 12 & 9 when they ran away.Now they've been put in just as bad or worse situation.

my son was almost kidnapped by a child molester when he was four. He is now fifteen and he stills remember what happened, kids are traumatized for the rest of their lives even if they never get touched it stills effects them!

To Shiela: YOU CAN RUN and that is about it. That is what I did. Unfortunate but true; there are those who make it more difficult as they too are REPROBATES and will make stuff up. No so with young children, but true for older ages. To Jean Clifford. I don't pray for offenders to "turn" any more. I know G__ is good but he also HATES any who harm children. I believe they have already passed the point of no return. So offender rehab it not something I care to care about. Just OFF them is my philosophy and PS That is NOT murder; it is discipline for something incorrigible and irreprehensible.
What can you do if a child tells you over and over again they have been molested, begging you to make it stop, but when you ask for help for that child, and you are told by officials "you made him/her say it", even though there is proof that another child was molested by the same person years ago ??? Can anyone out there help this child?? Please contact me if you can.
God is good to us and sees us through life in spite of people who try to harm us and our children. Praise God that we have people who are willing to take a public stand to correct this most evil ill in our society. The depravity of mankind is the cause and root of the problem. It takes God's nurturing and protecting adults to keep our children safe!

Thank you.

Please join this organization on facebook, educate yourself, become a steward for children, and encourage others in preventing childhood sexual abuse on our communities.
I too was diagnosed with CHRONIC PTSD.I have accepted that there are things that will always be with me. Anxiety, night terrors, visitations, pure EVIL these "people" who USE children for their own selfish perverted gratification. But, the night terrors are only once or twice a year now, instead of EVERY night. etc. Those of use who experienced severe violence over a prolonged period of time--years--are POWs. Read up and you will see it fits and until others see it for what it really is, we only have survivors to carry the torch and help out those who have just started the healing journey.
children are the most precious gift that we have please help protect them and pass this message on to others x
Well, I was molested when I was 12...by my brother (mom's side). Never spoke, but to my ex-husband about it. I thought I could live with it. I lived my own life never explaining to my mother why I don't really care about my brother. Never explaining to anyone why I live far, very far away from my family. I thought I was a survivor.... until.... I saw my brother (51, DAD's side) molesting my daughter! And that was enough... I chose to speak. My daughter denied anything... for the first 5 minutes. Then I explained to her that if he didn't talk I had no way to protect her or none of her siblings...and she spoke. AND WE SPOKE!!! AND WE DID SOMETHING! AND WE LOST>>> A FAMILY! We lost a family because we spoke. We lost a family because we decided to stop this cycle of being victims. We lost a family.... no way!!! WE NEVER HAD A FAMILY!!!! We won! We won our spirit back ♥ I got my child back... she is coming back from the darkness! We choose to speak. We choose to help others, to grow, to heal. Our experiences will serve to help others, to be the voice of those that were never heard. We will not stop. Because we are here for a purpose and our journey just begun.... ♥♥♥
I was tortured, raped, and left for dead. I was 3.5. I found my way home and did not speak. They called me autistic. They called me hyperactive. They called me anorexic. They called me many things. I remember it ALL. I know who it was and he is dead. I would speak about my sister but that is not for me. I would speak about my children, but that is for them if they choose. I would speak about other events but that would serve no purpose. I am healed. I did recover. I am not the same. I never will be. I am fully shameless/blameless. It is not your fault that most want to make us feel as lepers.I can't help it if most would rather cover this heinous crime against children. But I can LOVE regardless. And, I thank G__ that he loves me. I really could not have made it without HIS loving arms and comforting Spirit. I am not talking about the "church". I was fortunate and many people in my life have entered when I needed a fellow survivor to help me carry on regardless.
I started my journey of healing over 15 years ago. It is a journey. You will never be what you may have but you will also gain gifts that others will NEVER know. JOY. Don't ever give up and know healing is painful. There is no escaping that, but all I can tell you is that it is worth it.
I answer each query you demand. The second cruel blow when you hear my answer that begins with I . . . .
The wind leaves my soul; your skillful accusation wrapped in magenta you scream your methodology:
“You’re selfish" “You always answer I ....".
Selah, I think on that and confirm your conviction.
Who would I quote? My daddy? Never had one.
Who would I quote? My mummy? Hardly saw her.
To escape her hell she worked all night.
To escape alive she went to university all day.
No welfare. No divorce. What do you know? Mr.Pinocette.
Who would I quote? My uncle? He held mom so Dad could beat her better.
Who would I quote? My bro? He got killed.
Who I quote? My sister? She spoke. They fixed her good.
Who would I quote? My other sibling? Dead before I was born.
Who would I quote? My grandma? She liked blondes.
RCMP? I remember. Left an eight year old in shock.
No escape. Can't speak. Can't breath. Eyes wide. Body screams. HELP! GET ME OUT OF HERE! PLEADS. . Oh G__!
Serve? Protect? WHO?
Who would I quote? My other "bro"?
"It was a drunken Indian."
Sorry bro. I know who raped me. Blame some other race.
And, I have only one question for you Mr. Syphilis/Heroin.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? Selfish CUNT.
Mr. Big Wheel fucking your whores in your mountain of corruption. Pimp. I have only one question for you.
CAN YOU FEEL YET?
YOU can’t have me.
I don’t count rape. RAPE--your climax of violence.
Murder would be your ultimate high, I am certain.
I quote now my mummy,
"DON'T LET THEM BRAINWASH YOU".

I was sexually abuse when I was 14 years old he was 23. Unlike many i told my mother, we went to the police and all he got was 9 years probation, thats it. After the whole ordeal i couldnt sleep I would have nightmares I just wasnt the same. My mom got me some help I went to therapy for over 4 years and was on all sorts of anti depressents and sleeping pills I was diagnosed with PTSD. I am now almost 21 and still dealing with the anger and fear. But I survived! And I am proud to tell my story. I want to help as many people as i can with my story.
I was sexually abused for 7 years. (age 8-15) It has affected me my whole life and is something that I will never forget or ever be able to just get over. I am now 25 and have really begun to talk about it. I am no longer ashamed or fear what people will say or think of me. I am a Survivor and proud of it!
I was sexually abused when I was 15 years old by a minister. Did not tell anyone until I was in my 30's. Has really affected my entire life. Children need us to be their support and to be their voice when they need it. Let your kids know that if anybody ever hurts them in ANYWAY, they can always tell you!

I was sexually abused at 9. I didn't remember until I gave birth to a little girl. Healing truly is a journey. Lots of twists and turns, ups and downs. I feel like it is also so important to talk to our children openly BEFORE anything happens. Let them know what exactly is not appropriate. My dad used to talk much about self-defense for women. I remember him saying.."What would you do if a man grabbed you like this?" And hold me full force. It was just a little late. Actually-it came in handy later in life. I wish for everyone here to find their peaceful place. It never goes away...but you learn to coexist with that part of your life. You find that you are actually strong. You are not a victim..you are a survivor!
