I have always wanted to be an advocate of fighting childhood sexual abuse. This issue is a common thread in all communities and affects not only the child but the community as a whole. Before a child turns 18 years old, one in six boys and one in four girls will experience some form of sexual abuse. The majority of the time the offender is a family friend or someone the child trusts. In my family alone I know of more than one person who was affected by sexual abuse. This is what drives me, this is why I am so concerned because I know how bad it hurts people - its why I began Holding Harts.
