Hi, I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME. My cousin is living in Canada for the past 10 years, she is 32 years of age, married with 4 kids. She was invited by a couple she knows and had been drugged and raped and left at her door step the next day. She has already reported the issue to the Police and wanted to know if there is anything else she need to do to get help and put these criminals away for life. They are Canadian Citizens and do not deserve to live in Canada as they do give Canada a bad name. I kindly request someone to help me guide her through this terrible momment. THank you all...

Movement From the Margins (MFM) is a multi-media piece that serves as a truth-telling account of the post-Katrina World. From the shores of western Africa to gulf coast of Louisiana and Mississippi our people have continually been displaced, demeaned and dehumanized in this land. MFM is an artist's response to the state sanctioned violence that occurred throughout the gulf coast following Katrina. We will see a brief excerpt of this program performed by Misia Denea from INCITE! Philadelphia .

first project launched by the New Orleans Women's Health & Justice

care needs.
The mission of the Clinic is to equip women with the means to control and care for their own bodies, sexuality, reproduction, and health by providing quality, affordable, and safe health care services through a holistic, community-centered, well-woman approach to health care which integrates sexual health and reproductive justice.

I was sexually molested when I was 11 years old. I am now 21 and this memory that I thought I had put behind me has come back to haunt me. it has ruined my life and will continue to do so unless I stand up and do something about it!
I would like to know if there is a time frame in which legal action can be taken. I cannot forget about this, and would like to know how I can go about taking legal action. Is it to late?
Pls bare in mind that I live in South Africa and although this man is a South African he has emmigrated to England. Please help me. I need advise.
Signed enough is enough!

Para estas fechas, quiero comentarle, que e tenido relativo éxito, en mi campaña de informar a diferentes personalidades, que tienen cierta influencia en el entorno nacional, como políticos e intelectuales, organizaciones civiles, Gobierno Federal y Local.sobre lo necesario de modificar las leyes, Reglamentos y los procedimientos operativos, cuando se denuncia un caso de abuso sexual a menores de edad, siendo necesario un trato integral en torno a la denuncia.
Los Senadores y Diputados, que me contestaron, me solicitaron que elaborara un borrador de Proyecto de Ley, Decreto o Solicitud de Partida Presupuestal al respecto, no me desagrada la idea, aunque tengo que reconocer, que será para mí, una tarea titánica, por mis limitaciones técnicas, y económicas, al ser solo un ciudadano común y corriente, aunque pienso, que serian ellos los indicados para realizar dicha investigación, porque tienen los elementos necesarios para ello, estoy consiente que alguien tiene que poner el primer granito de arena, de modo que me encuentro en el proceso, llames-molo así, de buscar la ayuda necesaria para dicha tarea, mucho le agradeceré, si encontrase a alguien, o alguna organización, que pudiese contribuir con un servidor, en asesorarlo para redactar el Borrador correspondiente.
Estoy a sus ordenes como siempre.
Carta publicada en el excelsior:
Referente al reciente proyecto de Decreto aprobado por el Senado y enviado al Ejecutivo por el que se reforman disposiciones del Código Penal Federal en materia de explotación sexual infantil, me permito expresarle lo siguiente:
Lamentablemente, mi única hija de siete años de edad, fue víctima de abuso sexual, por desgracia, el agresor fue su abuelo materno, por lo cual, me vi inmerso en un proceso desgastan té en el cual no sabía al principio a donde recurrir por ayuda y auxilio, después de una ardua lucha, al día de hoy, le puedo afirmar que estamos superando la desgracia a tumbos, y la niña esta recibiendo apoyo Psicológico Integral, aunque lamentablemente, no como quisiera.
Quiero informarle que mi postura hasta la fecha a sido, no ejercer la acción Penal, ¿Porque, se preguntara?, ¿Acaso no existen Leyes, en el Código Penal del D.F, en donde se penaliza tal acto aberrante?,Sí, las hay, y muy explicitas, enérgicas y las más modernas de la República, ¿pero entonces, porque no procesar y denunciar tal acto, a la brevedad posible?. La razón, es que no existen las condiciones mínimas para garantizar la protección de la víctima, a fin de que esta no sufra más trauma, ni más daño colateral, que al final, resulta ser lo más importante para la vida de la víctima.
En otras palabras, los procedimientos operativos tortuosos en la investigación del Ministerio Publico, el procedimiento Penal lento, ante el Juez, las instalaciones inadecuadas y de bajo presupuesto, el personal poco sensible, ante la víctima menor de edad, solo permiten, que este tipo de actos delictivos quede impune y no se denuncien, sobre todo, cuando el agresor en un familiar directo, solo basta con verificar las lamentables estadísticas, ¿que se necesita entonces, para que se pueda levantar la respectiva denuncia penal, de forma oportuna?.
Se necesita reformar los procedimientos operativos para que existan las condiciones mínimas de respeto y dignidad, apoyo integral y humanizado, para que los cientos de casos como el de mi hija, no queden impunes, que exista suficiente presupuesto para capacitar y dotar a la Procuraduría, de todo lo necesario, a fin de erradicar tan terrible mal, en nuestra sociedad.
La pregunta seria, ¿se puede lograr dichos cambios?, Sí, existen países Sudamericanos, como Argentina y Chile, Uruguay, por decir algunos, en donde son ejemplo a seguir al respecto, ya no mencionemos a Estados Unidos, o España, en donde se dota a la víctima, inmediatamente después del descubrimiento de tal acto, de un Psicólogo capacitado y Especializado en menores de edad, de un Abogado Profesional, de un Trabajador Social Humanizado, y de la protección del Estado con todo su poder, sé, que sea logrado mucho en la materia, solo basta con escuchar a los medios de comunicación, pero todavía no es suficiente, se necesita mucho más.
La determinación de no levantar la denuncia penal por el momento, no a sido nada fácil para un servidor, y a sido pensada y sopesada con mucho cuidado, basada en elementos solidos y concretos, y mucha investigación y consultas de profesionales, pero, no me puedo resignar a que tenga que ser así, siempre, tengo la leve esperanza que las cosas pueden cambiar, antes que prescriba el tiempo de Ley, para dicha denuncia.
Existen organizaciones no Gubernamentales y de Defensa de los Derechos Humanos, tanto Federales y Locales, que de una forma, brindan apoyo emocional y legal al respecto, para tales casos. Pero no existe ninguna Asociación, Partido Político, Organización Pública o Privada, que esté encabezando un frente de lucha para cambiar esta triste realidad, se necesita elaborar un Proyecto de Ley, que modifique los procedimientos actuales y dote a la víctima de un proceso integral de atención Psicológica.
Le dejo esta reflexión con el objetivo de mover su conciencia, y se una a mi justa causa, a fin de poder realizar dicha convocatoria a los actores de la sociedad, que les corresponde realizar dichas Leyes.

| I also have Judge Rosenfield. He isn't acting in the best interest of kids from what I've seen. He refused to honor ANY of the mediator recommendations. Despite the fact that his dad is an abusive drunk. Despite all the proof I have, Rosenfield will not let me present it without a lawyer.
Since I don't have seven grand, I don't have a lawyer=Judge Rosenfield won't listen or let me present any type of case. I am now wondering if there is a higher up that those of us with Rosenfield on our cases can complain to. Anyone know?
I've created a message board for those of us who have been thru abuse or know someone who has. I hope those that come to this page will take a look and stay a while at the new board.
The address is:

If anyone is interested in joining me, email me and let me know

My child custody hearing was cancelled and dropped after the 7th continuance. Which was yet another form of abuse by the opposing counsel,and the system. It took 2 years to get to trial and over $100K.
Although D.V. by Father was proven and documented Judge Rosenfield has Father as primary custodial "in the best interest of the child". The Custody Evaluator did not believe the DV until she spoke to collaterals, per testimony.
She ordered a 52 wk DV program for Dad and he was not ordered to participate by Judge Rosenfield.
Judge Rosenfield refused to hear or order the Custody Evaluator's recommended time share.
The Father has thwarted my every attempt to see my child that I was primary care giver of for 12 1/2 yrs. I sought counseling to give me the self-esteem needed to leave, and a death threat did the rest. All attempts to get the help needed for my daughter's escape have fallen on deaf ears.
Our child has been deemed shut-down, and her reality is impaired. As her Mom I have had no parenting time since 09/06/04 although I have joint 50/50 legl/phy custody on paper.
The SoCoFamilyLaw Sup.Ct. embraces brainwashing,and is guilty of continual abuse by not making Father accountable and order that he co-parent with me.
If you have been totally alienated from your child, and admonished by the system for being your child's advocate please contact me. I am interested in hearing from other victims of the system whether male or female.
My former child became Dad's next victim, and the current system enables the abuser to abuse,thus enforcing substitution of the co-dependent that became independent via his next victim, the child.

To all whom care about the chlidren in Sonoma County
The nightmere began when my daughter started having breathing problems and taken to the ER as a toddler. Father has told Judge Rosenfield he dosent believe a child should take medication with steriods. (6) County officals all know that Dad "sometimes" dosent fallow (4) Doctors (12) pages of writtrn instructions
on how to medicate a child with moderate to severe asthma, yet non of these "mandated reporters" create or accept accountability instead because I push for action so that my daughter is not ill for long peroids of time like when she was sick consistantly from 1/25/06 through 8/01/06 coughing so hards she often vommited in her own bed,or have to be taken to the ER as on 2/2/07 again after Dads visitation the courts have turnned on me and made me the problem. The Judge has made sure that the neglector in my case has NEVER had ANY accountability. The very day the judge gave more time father did not give medications as perscribed. Just today The Sonoma County D.A.s office gave me the run around about what they could do and not do..... it amounted they couldn't nor wouldn't do anything. If your child is suffering because meedications are not being administered as a Doctor has ordered. Please contact me.Let's stand united for our chlidren!
