If there is something we must try to stop it sure are things like child molestation. Of course I know I can't fight windmills but  somehow my heart is burning for these things. By several reasons. 

My daughter met a pedophile neighbour and I did not read the signs before she was very ill and finally told us what was going on. 

I am a survivor myself, and thanks to lots of strength inside me. I've managed very well, but what I never can forgive myself, is that I was not able to read the signs when my daughter was molested.

I am not without scars in my heart, and I'm so glad that those who are in charge for handling these children today are doing it different then when I was a kid. Today kids can get help to work with their thoughts and scars, but it will never be the same for any that have met a pedophile........

I hope this page can be some kind of support both for kids and adults who are survivors.And if you are a child who thinks you have met a pedophile, please tell someone you have faith in.

I know there is a lot of pages on the net, that is made for this purpose, but my believe is that one more will not do any harm. It might however do something good. 

My fantasy is not able to imagine all the harm this does to our little innocent children, but as mother to a child who met the wrong neighbor, and as a survivor. I know something of what damage it can do. 

These little children's meet the world with an open mind, and get so much pain in return. 

They get their soul wounded for life and scars will follow them the rest of their life. 

What can we do to stop this? We are not able to follow them for each moment 24 hours a day 
But I sure wish we could. 

 

 

  
One day we have to let them go, and I just
wish it was not so.
One day will come when we have to let them
walk alone,
I wish it was not so............
You can't walk beside them every minute of
the day, but I wish we could..............
We cannot hold their hand all the way they
have to walk, but I wish we could.........
We have to let them try it on their own, and

we wish it was not so........

I should have been there, when she walked

I should have hold her hand in every step
she took,
but I was not able to, and I wish I was
Cause when they walk alone around the corner
you never know who they meet,
And the face of fear can be a neighbor or
a friend, or someone they never knew
But we have to let them walk alone and take

the risk..............and many tears I've shed cause I had to let her go, and I wish it was not so...........
