Hi Diana,
Is this about your step-daughter? Is the situation getting worse?
I'm asking a few others for suggestions. Hopefully other members will be able to weigh in with some advice to help her.

Considering all the calls made to them and all the electronic "paper trails", there is simply no way that they could place the blame on anyone else. I just pray that it doesn't come to that.
If I can think of any helpful advice, I'll let you know...
It's hard not to be concerned. The info you've given is very concerning, and I've heard many stories of CPS dropping the ball for any number of reasons.
Has your stepdaughter contacted the police about this? My understanding is that if a child re...
Rob, awesome post. You sure do get some fun trolls on your site!
Thanks for fielding that one, Louis.
I do want to make one additional point...
Dollars to doughnuts this "innocent" 16 year old boy is, or will be at some point in the future, on the SOR. No predator ever has any previous criminal record for a se...
Thank goodness! And thanks for the update. The "where" doesn't matter so much as long as he's safe.
Ug... what an awful situation. I'm sorry I didn't see this post two days ago.
Have you tried calling the police? Tell them everything and forward the emails to them. It seems to me that these are criminal acts, and that the police would have juri...

- It just deeply offended me when someone was talking about you all like that. Antsmrch pointed out that sentences "stygmatizing" sex offenders by labeling'. I was like oh it's a bunch of perverts calling us a hate group. thats why you were laughing. I'm sorry I got mad. So anyway those perverts aren't even worth getting mad out. So now I am going calm down!

All the wonderful members of PACA who have made the effort to step up and do something to fight child abuse, whether it be contributing to discussions, to share information, to learn how to spot abuse, or in some other meaningful way. To all those members, Thank You!
The mother in this news story:
(A message to those parents who choose to turn a blind eye to abuse, or claim "ignorance" of abuse: Keep in mind that your children will likely be the ones who choose your care when you're old enough to need someone to change your diapers again. If for no other reason than this, be good to them, and do right by them!)
- Beliefs/Practices
- Pagan, Witch, Native American Spirituality, Shamanism
- What is your favorite quote?
- “Coming at us like this - in waves, massed and unbreachable - knowledge becomes symbolic of our disempowerment - becomes bad knowledge - so we deny it, riding it’s crest until it subsides from consciousness. I have heard myself protesting, “I didn’t know!” but this is not true. Of course I knew... Not a lot, perhaps, but I knew a little. I knew enough. But... I chose to ignore what I knew. “Ignorance.” In this root sense, ignorance is an act of will, a choice that one makes over and over again, especially when information overwhelms and knowledge has become synonymous with impotence.
“I would like to think of my “ignorance” less as a personal failing and more as a massive cultural trend, an example of doubling, of psychic numbing, that characterizes the end of the millennium. If we can’t act on knowledge, then we can’t survive without ignorance. So we cultivate the ignorance, go to great lengths to celebrate it, even. The faux-dumb aesthetic that dominates TV and Hollywood must be about this. Fed on a media diet of really bad news, we live in a perpetual state of repressed panic. We are paralyzed by bad knowledge, from which the only escape is playing dumb. Ignorance becomes empowering because it enables people to live. Stupidity becomes proactive, a political statement. Our collective norm.”
~ Jane Takagi-Little
(from Ruth L. Ozeki’s “My Year of Meats”)
Yes, that is a quote from a book based on the happenings in the meat industry, but I think that it applies to a great many things. Especially child abuse.
- How did you find PACA?
- I was asked to take over PACA when it was a group on PaganSpace.net, and created this network with the help of some pretty amazing people. My reasons for taking on this project were many, not the least of which are the sheer numbers of people in my life who are survivors of abuse.
- What is it about this network that made you join? (MUST BE ANSWERED THOROUGHLY TO REMAIN A MEMBER)
- My feelings on this subject boarder on the militant (think PETA, and how they are feel about animal rights...) Yes, I do feel that strongly about this. As far as I'm concerned, there is no gray area... especially where child sexual abuse is concerned. A person is either an abuser, a supporter, or they are vehemently against it. I have no qualms about speaking up about this or pointing out when I believe someone's ideas on the subject need to be adjusted. Maybe they don't have all the facts, in which case I will make sure that they do. If, after getting all the facts, they still don't feel there is a problem with it, then I am left to wonder just what their motives are. I have no problems in pointing this out, either.
- In what ways do you feel you can help in the fight against child abuse? (MUST BE ANSWERED THOROUGHLY TO REMAIN A MEMBER)
- My hope is that by keeping this group going, as well as the creation of the PACA Network, I can help to spread awareness of all forms of child abuse. If even one child is spared, all the effort is worth it. I will continue to research and gather information that can be used for this purpose, and make it available to everyone. I will do what I can to encourage survivors of abuse to keep surviving, and hopefully to help others who might otherwise lose heart.

Resolutions for the New Year
MM All,
This year, I've decided that I will make my resolutions for change at this time (Pagan New Year) rather than wait until the end of December. Maybe it will put a bit of magick into my intentions and I will better be able to stick with them.
There are so many things I'd like to change in my life. I'll make the list of my top 3. I think that more than that is just going to put too much pressure on myself. I've got enough of that already! So here goes...
