If you don't mind me butting in here. I had offered to be interviewed, but for the sake of my children, I said I had to be annonymous - ala James Penn. They wouldn't accept that. But besides the damage it would do to my own reputation and that of my husband's, I think mostly of my children who would be horrified to see me speak out in public. They have hid their past and have new lives. They would be so mad at me if I did that. I have to protect them and obey their wishes. However, we can write letters, we can encourage journalists, we can help with validating the truth, we can write up a petition of sorts and everyone sign with initials and so on. There are many things we still can do. We can do so many things without jeapordizing our children.
