European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 28, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Page 20 a the stars and stripes monday october 28,1991 Ann Landers dear Ann Landers i am writing in response to the woman who was molested by her father when she was a child. She asked if she should continue to allow her Young daughters to sleep Over at grandma and grandpas House a now that they Are getting that woman must be crazy. I have a similar Story to Tell and i Pray that you will print it. The woman who wrote needs to see this and so do millions of others. My mothers live in Boyfriend kissed me on the Mouth and exposed himself to me when i was 13 years old. I was frightened and horrified. The very next Day i told my Mother. She confronted him in my presence and he denied everything. She believed him and punished me for a flying and trying to make i had a feeling she did believe me but was afraid she would lose the Guy if she stood up for me so she took his Side. I never trusted her after that and went to live with my aunt when i was 16. Now that i have children of my own i find it hard to understand Why a Mother would sacrifice a daughter for a lowlife Man like that but i know it does happen. Your column has recounted several of these instances. Please Ann keep repeating the message. You cannot say it often enough. Children who Are sexually molested should Tell someone. If their mothers wont believe them they should Tell an aunt an Uncle a teacher or a Clergyman. Thank you for educating millions. A Anonymous in Amarillo Texas dear Texas you can count on me to keep hammering away at this devastating problem. Here a More on the subject dear Ann Landers i just read the letter from the Mother who wanted to know if it was of to let her children sleep overnight at grandma and grandpas. That woman had been sexually molested by her father. Her Mother knew what was going on and did nothing to save her. And now she today s crossword dear Abby dear Abby i read in a recent column about the Midland Texas Community spirit award honouring american communities for distinguished caring service. While it is fitting that truly Good people should be honoured May i suggest a different award a for the Community that most Shames America by its total Lack of decency and humaneness. I nominate Hegins a. Every labor Day this Little town invites its citizens to a family Outing that features a live Pigeon shoot. As the pigeons which have been confined in Small boxes Are released and the disoriented Birds attempt to achieve flight they Are shot Down by the towns the Birds that Are not killed instantly a but merely wounded a then have their necks twisted and broken by boys trained for this occasion. Their slogan this year was a shoot pigeons a not drugs a As though the Only sensible alternative to shooting drugs is shooting pigeons lets Hope Public awareness and outrage at this unbelievable cruelty will finally bring an end to this a sport a which the Pennsylvania legislature has refused to Stop. Ashamed in Pennsylvania dear ashamed i Hope so too but done to bet on it. In 1986, i wrote to than gov. Dick Thornburgh who was until recently wonders if it is All right for her daughters to sleep Over i believe my eyes this sort of thing went on in my family for two generations. The grandchildren done to have to stay overnight for it to happen. Molesting can take place in the afternoon when grandpa takes the kids to the Park or the zoo or for an ice Cream soda. It can happen in the morning on the Way Back from Church or at a movie or on the Way to the circus. Most grandparents Are wonderful and dream of doing anything like this. Its really a very sick thing. But it s smart to be Alert. A molester can seem like a perfectly Normal person in All respects and quietly ruin a child a life. A no name no City dear Ann Landers i was molested by my father from the age of 8 until i was 13. I never told anyone because i was afraid of what he would do. When i turned 16, i went to the Public Library and read everything i could find on the subject. I Learned that i needed therapy and asked my teacher for help. She really saved my life. I now have three daughters and a Good relationship with my parents. When they ask if the girls can sleep Over i say period. Child molesters Are like alcoholics. They Are never cured. They must never be tempted. I have forgiven my father for what he did to me but i would never Trust him. Baltimore lesson dear readers the mail on this subject has been wonderfully articulate.
