wow thats a lot of abused people CB!
Do you know the facts behind the personal cases as well? Do you think there were motives behind them that might have been born of a bible or other holy tome?
All of these cases are abhorent, but we must yell out from the rooftops anytime
anyone of authority abuses our children...whether that be physically or mentally.
