Convicted Pedophile a Church-Appointed “Team Leader” on Mission Trips to Costa Rica ?!
The church sponsorship of convicted pedophile Bruce Black (Macomb, Illinois) on some past – and possibly future – “Strong Missions’ trips is greatly troubling. Adults making the decisions about missions presumably protect children as much as possible from known dangers. Would not allowing a convicted pedophile count  as a known danger? Wouldn’t common sense dictate [...]

Penn State Officials Should Be Criminally Charged…
…all who knew, and did nothing about the predator in their midst at Penn State should be criminally charged, and Penn State should fire them. Shame on them! Failing to report sex abuse of minors should be obstruction of justice.

Is there a Bruce Black in YOUR church?
Forgiveness is wonderful, but allowing a convicted pedo to go on ‘missions’ to third world countries to ‘witness’? Bruce Black’s History…. http://www.isc.meiji.ac.jp/~sumwel_h/doc/cases/Black_1997_USa7c.htm One would *think* that he shouldn’t be sent to build houses and have his picture on the front page of his town’s newspaper with his ARMS around a small boy! …bottom right of [...]

Illinois Going After Porn Traders…
Kudos to Governor Quinn & Attorney General Lisa Madigan for their ongoing commitment for taking this fight to the traders. “We know who you are,” Madigan said in a prepared statement. “If you are dealing in child pornography, you need to ask yourself, ‘Is today the day I will be arrested, the day I will [...]

Be at Peace, Mackenzie Phillips…
The talking heads who question whether or not Mackenzie Phillips (instead of her stepmothers?! Instead of her FATHER, the monster?! Instead of John Phillip’s FRIENDS?!) should have done something to stop your father are ignorant people just making a buck. Anyone who knows a victim, has been a victim, or has known a monster believes [...]

IL Pedos- Social Networking No More!
One would THINK journalists would have a larger vocabulary. Or at least know how to pick up a thesaurus. In this wet rag of an editorial being masked as ‘news’, Mike Doyle equates Pat Quinn’s barring of sex offenders using social network sites as the same as a ‘virtual concentration camp.’ Seriously? A priviledge….THAT is [...]

Duke University Official Molests, Pimps 5 yr. old son…
This is a horror story for which I have no words. Other than to say….at least they caught him. If these officers hadn’t….he’d no doubt be doing this forever. …and sounds like he’s got plenty more victims. But THIS is every Mother’s nightmare. Let’s hope they put him behind bars forever. Duke University Public Health [...]

Federal Marshalls trained in hunting sex offenders…
Bravo. Love to see this. It would be great if we could train more Illinois State’s Attorneys on how to successfully prosecute ones caught by the police. http://www.missingkids.com/missingkids/servlet/NewsEventServlet?LanguageCountry=en_US&PageId=3106
