Who said "reach the family"? I was suggesting that parents begin to publicly stand up and validate their children's claims of abuse. For example, Danile Roselle talks about being a small boy and witnessing an orgy. Is there anyone of the readership of this site that was there too? If one adult who witnessed what Daniel claims happened to him stood by his claim, then that would be more powerful than quoting some of the worst writing (Mo/Maria) that the world has ever seen. The focus, I believe, should be on your children's validation, rather than trying to "save" anyone who is a current member of TFI. I wrote Eva Saint John wishing that she could come to the States and appear on camera with me. She is unable to do so, but was willing if not for a disability. Other parents have stood up in the past, but I believe that the Dr.Phil blog is an excellent place and time to do this, especially because there will be a followup show. If some parents read what Drcoosa and others posted on the blog, then validate that "yes" I was a parent and I saw that too, then it's not just the child victims that have to come out and tell this story.
