Forced Out? Study Indicates Many Teen Runaways Were Already Abused at Home By Dean Schabner 7/11/02 - "Teenage runaways face the risk of physical and sexual abuse when they take to the streets, but a new study says that what many of them endured at home may have been worse....74.2 percent said they had been hit with an object, 76.9 percent said they had been slapped, 84.2 percent said they had been pushed or grabbed in anger, 71.0 percent said they had things thrown at them in anger and 72.3 percent said they had been spanked. The levels of more serious forms of abuse were also high — 22.4 percent said they had been threatened either verbally or physically with a weapon, 43.4 percent said they had been beaten with fists, 7.5 percent said they had been wounded with a gun or knife, 19.5 percent said they had been asked to do something sexual and 22.3 percent said they had been forced to engage in a sex act. http://more.abcnews.go.com/sections/us/dailynews/runaways020711.html Strange bedfellows - Judith Reisman and Dennis Jarrard 8/21/02 "...Catholic bishops are getting their "expert" advice on pedophilia from people who have covered up or even defended sex between men and children. The bishops recently chose Dr. Paul McHugh, former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at John Hopkins University School of Medicine, as chief behavioral scientist for their new clergy sex crimes review board. Yet Dr. McHugh once said Johns Hopkins' Sexual Disorders Clinic, which treats molesters, was justified in concealing multiple incidents of child rape and fondling to police, despite a state law requiring staffers to report them....He agreed with his subordinate, clinic head Fred Berlin, who broke the then-new child sexual abuse law on the grounds that it might keep child molesters from seeking treatment. Dr. Berlin admitted he had covered for the sex criminals, angering legislators, child-advocacy groups and state officials.....Dr. Berlin also considers Sexual Disorders Clinic founder John Money, who openly defends pedophilia, to be one of his most important mentors. Dr. Money once gave an interview to PAIDIKA - the Journal of Paedophilia, an "academic" publication that advocates adult sex with children alongside ads for the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) and other pro-pedophilia groups. He told PAIDIKA that a "relationship" that is "totally mutual" between a boy of 10 or 11 and an adult male "would not [be] pathological in any way." Dr. Money is also notorious for leading the medical team that surgically mutilated a young boy in a disastrous attempt to turn him into a "girl" http://www.washtimes.com/op-ed/20020821-81870884.htm Recovered Memories: True or False? Contact Information: The Leadership Council: 610-664-5007 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/15/02 - Children and adolescents abused by trusted caregivers and authority figures cope by using a variety of psychological mechanisms. A common means of dealing with the horror of such abuse is to try and push it out of awareness – especially when secrecy is demanded by the adult and the incident elicits fear and shame in the child. http://www.leadershipcouncil.org/Research/Trauma___Memory/PR3/pr3.html Did George W. Bush Evade Income Taxes on His Harken Loans? Bob Fertik Democrats.com exclusive August 16, 2002 George W. Bush's questionable activities and profits during his years as a director of Harken Energy Corp. (1986-1993) have come under a fair amount of scrutiny from the media. Mr. Bush has thus far avoided responsibility for those activities, thanks to a compromised investigation by the SEC during his father's presidency, as well as Mr. Bush's stubborn refusal to provide details of those deals. as always, please check any resource out thoroughly before using it. http://www.moveon.org/nowar/ "No War on Iraq" The Bush White House is aggressively promoting war on Iraq, without strong support from Congress, the American public, or our allies. We believe: "Without hard evidence that Iraq poses a clear and present danger to the U.S., Congress must act to prevent a war on Iraq."
