The truth is people did not talk about child sexual abuse, but that does not mean that it did not happen just as much. When I was a child, growing up in the Deep South, we all knew what was meant when someone would talk about that "Creepy Uncle."

Anyone who was following the Casey Anthony case undoubtedly knows by now she was acquitted of the charge of murdering her daughter Caylee. Shocked and outraged citizens have been talking nonstop about the case and the outcome on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook. Most recently, a petition was started by a Durant, Oklahoma woman in an attempt to enact a new law making it a federal offense for a parent or guardian not to notify law enforcement authorities of a missing child in a timely manner.

The faces say it all, that smugness and arrogance so engrained in their soul. They’re the ones that have abused and molested children, the ones that have committed the ultimate act of betrayal to a child and like a coward have fled. They’re in another country probably doing the same thing to another one. The names are there for all to see. Just by looking at them, you can almost smell their scent of deceit in their machinations against a child; a child so innocent and helpless it gave way and surrendered.
