While She Was Sleeping

Diane Downs didn't deserve to be sexually abused when she was a young girl. Susan Smith didn't deserve to be sexually abused. If Andrea Yates was sexually abused she didn't deserve to be. And when her doctor told her husband that she should not have any more children her husband should have listened. Casey Anthony didn't deserve to be sexually molested when she was young. And neither did Darlie Routier. And each and every child who was born to one of these women deserved to have a mommy who would keep them safe. The crime of childhood sexual abuse is one of the most despicable crimes ever committed and the ripple effects of such abuse is running rampant in our society today. We need women like Darlie and her mom to be open and honest about what happened to Darlie when she was young. And when the truth comes out Darlie and her mom deserve to have our support.
