Some of you know me by several names. Jammy, Jo , Cally and my real name Jo Ann. No matter what name you choose to call me by the one thing about those who know me is that I stand for the rights of CHILDREN !!
Having had a child who was sexually abused I know first hand the long term devastating impact this can have on a child. For those who have no experience with this type of thing don't even try to tell me "Just get over it". It's not that simple and you NEVER "Just get over it" You may think this could never happen to you or your child . Well I'm here to tell you it can and does within your own family so open your eyes and ears.
My daugher was molested by a family member one who I would of never thought would do such a thing. One I loved like a child of my own. My husbands 16 year old nephew was the offender. He was like a brother to my daughter. It's been 11 years now since that terrible night and it still rears it's ugly head and has caused alot of irreparable damage to our family but the one it hurt most was my child.
As I've traveled the net in the past 3 years one thing that really
gets me stirred up is the
BOYLOVERS and GIRLLOVERS
that prey on the innocent!!!
I've seen it on a million sites
All of these issues leave me with unanswered questions and feelings of confusion ,overwhelming sympathy, and fear of the dangers these abused and neglected children must face.
Below I will give you some GREAT links to some of my friends page who along with others try to fight for rights of children all over the world. It is my greatest hope that after reading this page and visiting the links I've provided, that you too will assist us in standing up for what is right and just in this society we live in today.
PLEASE Take a stand along beside us who fight for what we believe in . The right for all children to be safe and Happy and never to have to experience the heartwrenching, long lasting effects of child sexual abuse the mental abuse of being abducted by a Non-Custodial parent.

Say NO to Kiddie Contests
The proud mother in us ALL wants to show off our little ones and enter them in contests. Thats human nature however, after working on finding Sam Fastow I discovered to my surprise that the scum of the earth Pedo's had taken little Sam's pic and manupliated it for their own pleasure. I must tell you I was abit naive until I saw this. There was no link to Sam' Page as a missing child just his picture up with other children in a collection. So the next time you think of entering your child in these web contests think again and remember what DOES happen with your childs picture.
