Thank you. I'm very familiar with this subject,not only from my own independent research but from my personal experience as a teen in the 70's until 1980. The Louisville Kentucky and southern Indiana areas are a cesspit. In fact,during the early 90's the Indiana division of child services was brought under fire but nothing much came of it.<br />I did,at the time, desperately try to bring attention to the matter but,like many other teenagers, was maligned. I was a truant,runaway and all around messed up child. I was also targeted at the age of 13 due to the fact that I had suffered much abuse as a child and my mama had a nervous breakdown due to this. Child services from both sides of the Ohio river were happy to swoop down on me.<br />I do understand why you would write some of the books you do. I've often thought to write a book of my own but whenever I do, the trauma that is just below the surface comes in to bite me. Thank you for being an important voice and for trying for all of us. Much love and respect <3 Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16234555455202767662noreply@blogger.com
