 You're a great friend . . .
by: Darlene Barriere - webmaster

You didn't say in your comments, but I hope you are trying to get help for your friend, and not trying to deal with the situation she is coping with on your own. If you're not yet working with the advocacy center on this, please either talk to someone there, or contact the authorities or a reporting agency about the abuse your friend is enduring.

And good on you for wanting to make a difference, Ashley. Good on you for wanting to go into law enforcement in order to help prevent child abuse. We need more youth like you in our world today.
