Fighting sex abuse

This 80-year-old 'me too' lady deplores the election in Alabama of a pervert who when elected gives a green light to others of his ilk.

Women are finally speaking out and are not threatened with a lawsuit by a billionaire such as Trump. I was abused at the age of 12, and again 20 years later. Each time, I felt helpless at getting any justice. Those abusers are no doubt dead now, but I can only wonder how many other women they abused in their lives.

It is not only women who are abused but young children as well. Parents talk to your children and warn them of the danger out there.
