I know that I'm going to receive some e-mails mad at me for saying this
again, but Kathy Jo has other problems besides Cerebral Palsy, and I
feel that sometimes she starts these discussions that generates a number
of e-mail messages just to entertain her other disabilities.  I have met
Pinks in person, and I think if she was abused, they would do something
about it.

Thanks,
Anthony

I agree with Bobby.  I'm not sure I understand why you're telling us all
this and not telling the right people; that is, the authorities.  I know
I
sound like a broken record here, but you NEED to tell someone there
about
it!  Otherwise the abusers will just go on to abuse other people.

How can you feel safe in the places where you were abused if they're not
gone?  What's to prevent them from becoming violent and overwhelming
you?
You need to protect yourself and others.

We cannot help you if you don't help yourself.  You need to take action,
because we cannot.
