Stop The Silence:

*******

YOU be her voice.

Stop the silence.

Tell someone.

Mothers need help too.

Help her take the necessary steps.

It is not easy.

It will be difficult.

You can do it.

Rape in the Fields:

In June 2013, PBS Frontline aired a segment about the sexual exploitation of migrant field workers in the United States called Rape in the Fields. The news story was released by PBS in both English and Spanish. Crops in the story were referred to as "field of panties." At the time of the airing of this news documentary, no criminal prosecutions had been brought forward by farm workers and no reliable statistics were available. It is clearly a huge problem and hardship for the victims.

On the news (this week in October 2013) 30 cases of rape in the fields had been reported in Watsonville. Many people fear losing their jobs. 

Thank you for stoping the silence. 

There is help available.

Rape is a crime.

What a molester looks like:

NOT LIKE THIS...

NOT LIKE THIS...

NOT LIKE THIS

The molester looks more  like the "boy next door," and the handsome father and neighbor and
distingquished looking teacher and muscled coach and pretty teacher and attractive uniformed.
This means you CANNOT tell by his/her looks.  This is the first mistake.  I took a tour of a prison
while in Nurses Training and had never seen a more collective group of beautiful faces and muscles.
Don't be fooled. Let children know about this #1 fact. Oh and he might also be a really NICE person!
