VICTIM OF VIOLENCE

It was January, but it happens in my sleep;again and again. Two men, 6ft. + each, one probably 300lbs. One a pro. boxer. The first guy said he was going to kill me. I, to this day, do not know why. He pounded me in my stomache-snatched me to the ground and began to hold me by my hair nad kick me in the stomache. I had no possible chance to defend myself or run away. The other joined in and held me down, so I could not get away or defend myself..a female also joined in with a knife but the larger… Continue

Missing Persons Day Petition

Would you please consider signing this petition for a Worldwide Missing and Unidentified Persons Day? If you will take the time to even glance at the number of names on list list, barely over 1800, most of them have a story or know someone that is missing. I don't know why, but with missing persons there is a stigma that somehow they must have deserved it. And, somehow that will not happen to us...it only happens to other people… Continue

Ramifications of Homeschooling

My name is Doris Anne Beaulieu. I have a website-Life’s Ultimate Test dot com-on which you can learn more about my mission to change the face of home schooling. I attended a parochial school as a child in the 1950's. In this Catholic school I was sheltered from the realities of the world around me-from swearing, from public displays of affection, from slang. These are often some of the same things that modern home schooling parents aim to protect their children from. A superior court judge said”… Continue

Victims Voice
