Today we added the 500th case to our abuse case archive. This dubious honor goes to a case of sexual abuse of a ten-year-old girl adopted by Jon Paul Reid. Among the 500 cases we have archived over the past three years, this case, unfortunately, doesn't stand out as particularly exceptional. There have been many children like the Reid girl before, and since little is done to prevent these situations, we will likely have to document several similar cases in the future.

My little nephew is being abused in his foster home. He said that an older boy was molesting him. He was told that since he was offered $50, it's not rape. As a result, he is acting out violently and doing really bad in school.

Before he entered the foster care system, he was a sweet shy little boy. He would tell me that a T-Rex was hiding behind the giant Christmas trees and that I better be careful. That's the word he used to describe the evergreen trees where I live. He's got beautiful ocean blue eyes and blonde hair.
