Who
We Are
Jan McMahan, Co-Director: I was so excited
when I got my first computer and signed up for Internet service
in 1996. I felt like the world was opening up in front of my eyes.
I was in such awe. So many places to visit and so little time to
do it.
Never having been the victim
of any type of abuse, either as a child or an adult, I was astonished
at the number of sites I came across that dealt with adults striving
to overcome the sexual, physical and emotional abuse they suffered
as children. Reading the newspaper, watching the TV news and seeing
how often this happens to children made me realize that something
needed to be done. I vowed I would do everything in my power to
get the word out about this atrocity. I created a web site dealing
with pedophilia. I wrote letters to politicians asking them to support
bills that would protect children from these predators. I wrote
to law enforcement reporting any sites I stumbled on that exploited
children. The process has been slow but seeing the sites go down
and the perpetrators jailed has been very satisfying. If I've saved
just one child from being abused then I feel my work has been successful.
The fight won't end until children are no longer abused. Continue
Mary McLaughlin, H.S.C. (Human Service Counsellor),
Abuse Prevention/Awareness Advisor: As an adult survivor of
incest, I have long been interested in victims' rights. Through
personal experience and in talking to other survivors, I have
learned that even after the sexual abuse has ended, most victims
remain just that, victims. The damage that is done to children
remains with them throughout their lifetime. When a pedophile
preys on a child, he or she not only takes their innocence, but
also takes their self worth and leaves them devasted in mind and
body.
I was one of the fortunate
ones in that I was able, through therapy and the support of family
and friends, to overcome much of the trauma connected with being
an incest victim. I went to college to learn how to work with
other survivors of child abuse and that has become one of my main
focuses in life. I want the pedophiles to recognize exactly the
damage that they do and to get them off the streets so that no
child needs to go through what I have. It shouldn't hurt to be
a kid. Continue
Pam
Ricks, Law Enforcement Consultant & Technical Advisor:
Nineteen years as a police officer has shown me every reason
in the world to want to protect children from those who "love
them." My law enforcement career started in 1983 as a dispatcher
where I heard the calls for help. Then in 1985 I attended the
academy and went on the road as a police officer where I responded
to the calls for help. Every case involving a child stands out
in my memory and refuses to allow me to give up the fight. Every
case haunts me and every child speaks to me. I became involved
with the Internet a few years ago and I realized that the Internet
is a new "neighborhood" that needs to be watched.
It needs to be patrolled as constantly and as relentlessly as
the street you live on. Our children are in this "new neighborhood"
and I will do my best to see that they are kept safe there. Continue
