April 21, 2011 Little girl running
Running silently from the classroom
Little girl crying with sudden tears
A quiet little sentence
In amongst the bullies fears
He passed it to me slowly
I was a little blonde girl all of eight
Swinging on my chair in the teachers room
As she did the sums and spellings all of late
And he looked at me so solemnly
The quiet boy in the room
I had been watching him for a while
But really had not noticed him so soon
And in this little note was how
He was living here of late
Of how this person was visiting him
And doing things of horror and hate
And as I read and read
Of what this note contained
I realised why this boy was silent
The horror deeply ingrained
And swinging back on my chair
More horror yet to come
A slow tear began to trickle
And I got up from my seat and began to run
The other side of the playground
And there I began to shake and cry
The sheer horror the boy had gone through
The silence was all he could but try
And there is nothing I can really tell you
Apart from I went home from school early that day
And in the night time darkness,
My little teddy bear comforted me all the way

Some thoughts on where brochures and flyers could be placed (and have been placed in the past are):
Noticeboards, child health centers, drs surgerys, crisis centers, libraries, halls and community centers, church notice boards, university notice boards, events…

December 25, 2010 The Unbelievable Beauty by Vera Milestone
The Unbelievable Beauty
By Vera Milestone
From the author that brought you Sexual Abuse Defined comes her second book, The Unbelievable Beauty. This time around, Vera Milestone shares a collection of articles about experiences of abuse and the invisible scars that never quite completely disappear.
Not everyone survives abuse. Even if they did, they never heal. The message in The Unbelievable Beauty is clear. Abuse must be stopped, or it could mean the end for the victim.
