Downeast Maine Child Abuse Survivors: Recovery and Child Advocacy

Click here to break out of frames! Under Construction Last Updated on May 26, 1998 *Special Notice*

The catastrophic "ice storm of the century" is passed.

It's been a while since we were dodging falling trees and

electrical wires,

and life is back to "normal".

We have some pictures online that show the

awesome

beauty of this storm.

We believe hitting children causes severe emotional and sexual wounding. Please read "Plain Talk About Spanking", "20 Reasons Against Corporal Punishment" and "The Sexual Dangers of Spanking Children"

I'd like you to visit Susan's site. She's my fiance, and we met through our work on the net!

   Self awareness, open expression of emotions, safety, mutual respect,
   especially respect of the child by the adult, freedom, emotional
   connection while allowing for privacy of person, thought, and feeling,
   and dominion over one's own body, these are a child's birthright!
