I read this a few minutes ago and it brought tears to my eyes.
Child abuse casts a shadow the length of a lifetime.
--Herbert Ward
If we could just reposition one child's shadow a day this world would be a much different place!
Good night and remember to kiss your kids!!

Atmosphere "The Last To Say" Music Video Hits MTV!
Atmosphere, a well know rap group, brings a voice to domestic violence by preforming a candid rap about domestic violence called "The Last to Say". MTV has joined the fight by premiering the music video for this song on many of their channels such as MTV2, MTVU and their activist focused channel ACT.
This music video brings the issue of domestic violence out in the open to an age group who often suffer in silence at the hands of a boyfriend or girlfriend in years as early as junior high school. Teen dating violence is on the rise and is most often explained away by the victim as sport related injuries. Finally, a music group has decided enough is enough! This video made me cry when I listened to the words. Each person who stands up to violence, every voice that is heard can make a difference in even just one victims life!

Sarah’s House Child and Family Advocacy Center is dedicated to serving children and families who are victims of sexual and physical abuse through prevention, education, and intervention.
It is our goal to provide numerous, quality services, at one central location; this prevents re-victimization of the individual and their family. We treat each person with courtesy, respect, and compassion. This can help the victim feel comfortable, and can assist with prosecution of the case.
We offer 24/7 Crisis Intervention for all sexual assault cases, child molestation, and child abuse.
We also offer rape crisis intervention and support, domestic violence referrals to shelters, and support groups, and information for victims.
