Friends as enemies to abusers...
by: Darlene Barriere - Webmaster

When abusers do not allow their children (or spouses or dating partners) to have friends, or do not allow them to communicate with their families, thereby isolating them, it is a huge red flag.

To ALL My Visitors: If you know or suspect child abuse is taking place, contact the appropriate child protection agencies. You could be saving the life of a child.
