Thank you for making the changes. One last thing… We have a child protective policy that will be uploaded to the website by the first of next week, for all to review, and we work in close regard to PANI, the child protective agency of Costa Rica. In the end know that we neither permit nor condone any type of abuse, and that if such an act does take place we will cooperate fully with the local officials. Child abusers who are seeking inappropriate relationships with children through organizations such as ours need to know that Costa Rica’s government is very strict regarding such matters, and the jails here are not nearly as nice as in the U.S. It would be a grave mistake to test our resolve, or the resolve of the Costa Rica government.

I wrote a full response but it appears to be too large for this forum, or you do not want to approve it. We will try again, as to stop some of the damage you folks have done by not checking your facts. I suggest that the author of this article or this website contact us to get the real facts for a retraction article or our lawyers will be in contact. This is slander.

Strong Missions never appointed Bruce Black as team leader or anything else. He was a team leader chosen by his congregation. We are a Costa Rican organization, and our policy is to never allow an adult to be alone with a child. We have plenty of staff in place to assure that this does not happen. In the case of the relationship with the local family, they have also been instructed not to allow their children alone with anyone from the teams that choose to partner with us in our work, and all visits have been closely supervised. We understand that children are a target in this world and we will continue to work on their behalf, as well as take steps to assure their continued safety where they are connected to our work. We have over 8 years of service under our belts without one incident, thank God, but we will remain ever alert to danger. On Bruce’s behalf, he has attended numerous times without incident. In fact he has only acted in the spirit of Christian love and service. Regardless, we hear you and your points above, and we will remain vigilant. Blessings, Strong Missions

Really? What do you mean by that?

A second chance to work and be a productive citizen? Sure.

A second chance to be around vulnerable children?

Absolutely NOT.

Any adult who allows known predators access to children is, by definition, ALSO an abuser and an enabler.

I would definitely agree that the congress made a right choice when it comes to prioritization. Children must be protected and must be kept safe. Education and proper love and support from their parents is highly essential.

Patrick J. Fitzgerald & Christopher McFadden, & their dedicated team members are my heroes. We need to give them the tools they need to put these monsters away.

Tell your reps to fully fund the PROTECT ACT. http://www.protect.org/childrescuepetition

Comment on “But HIS was just pictures, right?” by Kathryn White

AMEN.

Thank you for stating the obvious.
Anyone convicted of “just looking at pictures” is a criminal. Sympathy and compassion should go with our children, NOT perverts.

Single parents do face great challenges.

…and our society does not do near enough to helping them. Paid sick leave with job protection allows sick children to be cared for by a parent instead of someone else. Health coverage that also covers prevention and mental health services helps victims get the help they deserve. High Quality preschools, head start, public schools help children from struggling families get the education they need to break the cycles of poverty and addiction that make a new generation easy targets for abusers.

There are public policy changes that can make this world better for our children. We can do better. We MUST do better.
