So much has happened since the last update of Joel Hempel appearing on the front page of the paper playing santa claus... He has been "outed" so to speak.. I have received an email from both Governor Daytons office as well as Senator Kloubachers.. I will confess this petition was merely a healing outlet for me .. A platform to write to an audience that let my story, my voice and my everyday torment and pain be heard...... before it literally killed me. I am so proud to say it has done that and even more.. it saved me. It gave me hope, courage, a little bit of confidence and the knowledge that I have needed, craved and always lacked. I am loved, I matter, my life matters, that I am safe, I am enough and most importantly that i am not to blame. That is all thanks to you all who sign, support, share, not judge and also let your voices be heard. Thanks to the JWRC.. #11forJacob and their legislative people reaching out. Thiso petition I have started as merely a healing outlet will he reviewed,revised and rewritten to officially be introduced as a bill. And thanks to a particular reporter who uncovered last week why we have not been able to uncover the names of his other two victims as well as why my rapist walked among us without a care in the world and no one the wiser allowing him to be "santa" in the firSt place. So included in this update is an email from her as well. It is appalling and downright disgusting to learn a 3 time convicted pedophiles record was expunged. 3 children . Myself included at the age of 10 and this happened. So thank you alll.
