Austria & Texas - we haven't come very far

Reading the very disturbing stories about the FLDS ranch in Texas and the just posted story from Austria, am troubled that we still haven't come very far. Women and children are abused and subjected to the most humiliating circumstances around the world. Too often the abusers either go unpunished or are able to commit these horrible acts undetected for far too long.

They say it takes a village to raise a child. It also happens to be unfortunately true that often it takes a village to destroy a child or a family by turning a deaf ear and blind eye.
