HOW GOOD PARENTS MISS CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND 5 QUESTIONS TO CHANGE THAT
How do good parents miss child sexual abuse? It is simple. By not asking the right questions. One day my son went to a classmate's home for a Halloween costume party. When I picked him up a few hours later I could tell by the ear to ear grin on his face that he had a great time. As we were about to leave, I was standing at the door with his little friend's father and grandmother. Both adults were giving me a great report about my son's behavior. I was a relieved parent. Thank goodness. No issues. No worries. I quickly scooted my happy kid in the car and drove home.

See, I am his mother. And, that little four-year-old who was being indignant and yelling, was my son. He was playing with a ten-year-old girl a few yards away from me.

They try to silence you and if they think they can get away with it, they try to kill you.

According to the CDC: In 2013 (the most recent year for which full data are available), 41,149 suicides were reported, making suicide the 10th leading cause of death for Americans. In that year, someone in the country died by suicide every 12.9 minutes. I read an article online about a young accomplished woman who died of suicide. In was so disappointed to read the comment section. You know, in usually when you read about the death of someone you expect to read expressions of grief, empathy for the family, or even disbelief. Not for this young lady.
