The Shattering
The Silence Tour and Documentary Project, at FACSAFoundation.org, is changing
the social stigma of child sexual assault, public policies, conducting current
research of community needs and assessment, educating communities on prevention
and education of child sexual assault, by hosting free conferences with local
advocates; filming a documentary on survivors stories across the nation, the
latest healing modalities, and the most effective counseling techniques, with
the hundred and fifteen cities Shattering The Silence Tour and Documentary
Project, at FACSAFoundation.org.
According to
the U.S. Department of Justice 1-3 girls, and 16 boys, will be sexually
assaulted before their eighteenth birthday. Statistics are from the 10% of
reported accounts, for 90% do not tell. They are silenced by the perpetrator
with threats to their lives or the lives of their loved ones; who is usually a
dad, mom, uncle, trusted neighbor, friend, or community leader. The children
remain silent due to fear of retribution from the perpetrator, or losing their
only circle of support and love they have ever known, their family. This
becomes their way of life until someone steps in and protects them. According to ChildHelp USA, 5
children die a day due to abuse and neglect.
Today is the
day we no longer turn away in indifference. Today is the day we tell our
children, we have heard their silent cries in the night and we share their
pain. People believe it is easy to turn away because you don’t see it. I say,
“This is not true, for you see it every day from the angry and volatile society;
which shoots up schools, murders and rapes children; where crimes of petty
theft receive more sentencing than the rape of a child; where children are sold
into indentured servitude, child porn, or into prostitution. What kind of
society have we become, where we stand by and allow such atrocities take place,
and not raise our voices to change this?
Where is the
OUTRAGE? "Enough Is Enough, We Will Not Be Silent Any
Longer!" Join the FACSA Foundation Revolution at FACSAFoundation.org,
or any local child advocacy groups!! I pass the baton to you, for you to
advocate for our children. The children are counting on you!
