The Cruel Lesson of Penn State

shc-editor — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 23:10:56 +0000

Many child sexual abuse cases still go unreported. Children, parents, and friends hesitate to talk about these acts of violence because they feel shame or fear they will not find support. Penn State is one of the many institutions where sexual abuse has been kept in silence, allowing these acts of violence to affect the lives of children and adults.

Abuse thrives on silence. …as the Penn State situation makes clear, the silence of third parties gives perpetrators license.”

Mark P. McKenna, Slate

The Penn State situation shows how important it is for you to report it when you witness or experience this type of abuse. Survivors Healing Center strives to stop child sexual abuse in our communities by breaking the silences.
