After I nervously wrote about being abused by a pedophile as a kid, a pundit said I 'screwed around' w/ a pastor. Since then, I've investigated pedophilia at @Kanakuk, shed light on nation-wide abuse & helped victims tell their stories.

Mockery won't silence us.#StandWithVictims

@reachjulieroys Education ≠ intelligence. The powerful clueless of the powerless. The antithesis of Jesus. https://t.co/u7fJ2oddnx

Prevention violence works BUT is not like hot water that can be turned on an off & should be a-political. https://t.co/J4ovMYuhAU

We drove to NC for the holidays. If congress wants to do something meaningful, setting aside partisan politics, then outlaw semis in the fast lane. #nearlylostmyreligion

We should now refer to pedophiles as “minor-attracted persons” to lessen the stigma of those primarily sexually attracted to prepubescent children. Uh, I don’t think so. https://t.co/99vj3AidOL

Congrats Steve. Excited to have you on our advisory board!

I’ve never encountered a rapist who wasn’t deeply sorry for getting caught. You wonder why churches struggle with understanding abuse, yet professionals in criminal justice system STILL don’t get it. https://t.co/EnjqmyQSNk

For 30 yrs I’ve pushed against systems- police, prosecutors, judges and ministries- who silence survivors who have taught me all I know about violence prevention. Listen to our podcast with survivor & advisory board member Joelle Casteix. https://t.co/qJAHcrqPAK @joellecasteix

@DavidAFrench And as a former law enforcement officer it is bravado and dangerous as most people carrying do not have retention holsters or any training in weapon retention. Well trained officers are killed with their own weapons.

Minor is sexually victimized by her female high school gym teacher. Her father works at the [Christian] school and reports the abuse to the headmaster who refuses to report and is then charged by the authorities for violating the mandated reporting law. It gets worse...1/2

[RAINN @RAINN]

Today @SenatorDurbin & Sen. @MarshaBlackburn introduced a bill to eliminate the federal civil statute of limitations for more than a dozen federal child sex abuse crimes. This bill will help survivors access the justice they are owed, regardless of when they come forward.

Happy Monday from NASRO!

Covering up abuse + telling survivors to be silent is a

Bad idea.
