| Children deserve the respect and trust of their family and
the protection of their community. Instead they receive abuse
and pain. Even when a child finally finds the stength to speak
up they receive degradation; if they speak out; they are called
liers and told it must have been their fault. In our society
a family would rather turn their eyes away than admit one of
their own is sexually abusing a child.

| My 12 year old daughter was a victim of sexual abuse by
a male relative. Not being able to prevent the initial abuse
we are now on a quest for justice. Not only for her but for any
other children he has hurt along the way.

| Congratulations to a fellow Miamian for your efforts to
spread positive messages via Art. Working on research on sexual
abuse of children has raised a greater consiousness of the incidence
of the problem and the long-term effects experienced by children.
The effects are immense and varying, and include from the physiological
to the psychological. The innocence of children is being robbed
and I was wondering if you could somehow portray this concept
of innocence being taken by another against one's will, leaving
a child in confusion, isolation, fear, and an uncertain future.
Somewhere too, it would be nice to see the element of hope, a
hand reaching out, a light at the end of a tunnel. Thank you
for your dedication to portraying people's voices.

| Have you ever wondered what it was like to be a little girl
who was never abused. Tears stream down my eyes as I ask myself
why was I abused. I am sure that this is a question we all ask
ourselves as survivors of sexual abuse. A question that will
never get answered. I am a little girl who has lost her innocence
by both male and female perpatrators. This mural is much needed
and I thank those who have put it together. May God Bless This
Mural and May we fianlly find our voices to speak out against
sexual abuse the silent crime.
