Texas Judge Adams Beating His Disabled Daughter Hillary
This video of Texas Judge Adams beating his disabled daughter Hillary on Child Help exposes what can go on in the homes of seemingly upstanding citizens in our communities. This is graphic material. Judge William Adams viciously beats his 16-year-old daughter Hillary, who suffers from Cerebral Palsy. Her crime? Downloading games and music on the [...]
Little Naomi Whitecrow
I am heartbroken this morning as I learned of the recommended punishment of $5,000 for the murder of this child. Yes, all children get bumps and bruises, but not everywhere on their bodies. The medical examiner’s report indicates this child’s face, chest, back, legs, right buttock and head were bruised or scraped. An Indiana pathologist [...]
Outrageously Light Sentence
I am sickened by the light sentence of James Moss, the 6-foot-2, 270 pound father who ripped his 10-year-old son’s clothes off, beat him with a spatula, held his hands over two kitchen stove burners, (producing 2nd and 3rd degree burns) punched him in the face, threw him in the oven, yelled “I’m going to [...]

Media Refuses to Air Child Sexual Abuse Public Service Announcement
I generally don’t comment on child abuse stories that are about child sexual abuse, because my mission is to bring attention to emotional and physical child abuse. However the following story is so outlandish, it begged for comment. The Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape (PCAR) was denied a 30-second public service announcement on Philadelphia’s WBEB 101.1FM [...]
Alice Miller dies at 87
I am saddened to learn of the death of Alice Miller, a pioneer psychoanalyst in the field of child abuse. Fortunately for all of us, she ended her therapy practice in 1980, which helped a limited number of survivors, to write books which has touched millions. Though I have not read all of Ms. Miller’s [...]
