Any time you can put fear into a child abuser or find a way to have a molester arrested it is a real progressive move. Keep posting against this most horrible of crimes. God bless.

So so so true!
My friend's three abusive relationship all had her isolated. Two of the three wouldn't even allow her to see me! *sob*
I know it was childish of me at the time, but I am still proud of it: with the first abusive boyfriend she had, I knew where he worked. A baseball-playing friend of mine and I went to his workplace. When this guy saw me, he turned and started to walk away--knowing full well that I knew what he was doing to my friend. He could beat her up, but he knew he couldn't scare me in the least because I would fight back.
Anyway, as he started to walk away, my friend, who is 6'1" and incredibly built, stood in his way. Didn't say a word . . . just stood there staring at him.
The abuser tried to step around my friend (not knowing that he was with me), and my friend "danced" with him. The abuser finally got away, and I went up to my friend and put my arms around him in gratitude--knowing all the while that the abuser was watching.
A week or two later my friend went back to the store (without me) and saw the abuser stocking the shelves. My friend snuck up behind the abuser (who was about 5'4") and said, "Hey Big Guy. Remember me?"
The abuser ran away.
I only hope we put a little fear in his heart--that if he continued what he was doing he would not get away with it.
My friend (the abused one) broke up with him that first week when we went to the store.
