Sexual Abuse

How Do We Seek Justice and Give Compassion to Child Abusers?

Announcing the release of my new novel: Howard Be Thy Name

Children suffer from dangers that are unfortunately prevalent in today’s America. Research by Jeremy Sammut, Ph.D., a Senior Research Fellow at The Centre for Independent Studies and the Director of the CIS Healthcare Innovations Program provides overwhelming evidence that girls living in non-traditional families are sexually abused by ''stepfathers'' - partners of their single, remarried or repartnered mothers.
