Vikie commented on the article |All American Children, Teens, & Adults have been affected by this. "We the People" Need to Make a Stand and Start putting the Perverts Behind Bars that solicit these places and the Disgusting Pimps that are stealing these children for their own gain should be put in jail with some one much bigger than them, so they know how it feels to be raped. Pimps come in many colors also. If you notice some one doing these things in your neighborhood or any where REPORT IT, talk to the child and ask if you can help them. If you know some one is a pimp get evidence and report them!!! IF YOU WANT IT TO STOP, TAKE ACTION.

Vikie commented on the article |The Judge has no moral scruples... Who was the judge, what an idiot!!!
The Judge should be subjected to rape and selling their body to survive, then lets see how the judge handles the situation. Lets hope that the judges daughter or grandchildren are never put in that situation. Perhaps if the judge put them self in this child's shoes or at least looked at her as if she was one of their own children or grandchildren that had to suffer that abuse the so called Judgement would have been VERY DIFFERENT.

Vikie commented on the article |Thank you both. I know that it did not feel right, there had to be more to it, but I could not get a straight answer? They made me leave my work book too, and at the beginning of class they said it was ours to keep and write in? I had notes written in there about things that I did not agree with and felt uncomfortable about that the instructor had said and done. I am not much for fighting, so I am just looking for another job. I will call my battered woman support though and see what they think. That just is not right... I really want to help children that have been through these things, I know I can help, because I have been through some of the same things they have. God is just going to have me do it in a different way I guess. I will Trust In God to Open the Right Door for me and pray that he helps the children at Hillside Children Center...

The violence can follow you for years. I was just fired from my job for mentioning that I was abused in my marriage. We were in Hill Side, NY training class learning the take down holds and how to break holds, that they use on the children and teens that they keep there. They are children that have been abused that are kept there because they have begun acting out. When they came to breaking a choke hold I said, "I know how to do that one" The instructor said, in a demeaning voice, "I doubt if you know the correct way." I said, well I was shown by a taekwondo instructor, who was nice enough to teach me for free so I could protect my self against my husband who use to like choking me." The next morning I was called into the office and told I was fired, due to being unprofessional. When I asked why? What did I do? They told me, because I said that my ex-husband use to choke me and that was not appropriate for me to talk about. I said it was a class room of adults there were no children there? They said it does not matter, that I am still in my trial period, if I was out of my trial period I may be able to contest it, but you do not have that right.
