"Jessica's Corner"		   Jessica's Corner - 2011 - 2012 - 2013 - 2014 -

by Jessica Stevens, original co-host of NAASCA's "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) talk radio show

EDITOR'S NOTE: We are delighted to have the ongoing participation of our own Jessica Stevens both on our Internet-based talk radio shows and here on the NAASCA web site.

This is a section specifically devoted to the causes, issues, articles and other materials she wishes available for those who are interested in helping resolve the epidemic of child abuse in America.

Jessica, a resident of north Florida, is herself an "adult survivor" of severe violent and sexual child abuse, all at the hands of family members. Yet she has broken the cycle.

She's a mom to two fine young men in their 20s. Her boys are among her biggest fans, and we know they consider themselves fortunate (as indeed they are) to have a mom like Jessica.

Listen to Jessica on our "Stop Child Abuse Now" (SCAN) talk shows: www.blogtalkradio.com/bill-murray

The Case of Stacey Lannert (from MJ)
Stacy Lannert was 18 when she shot & killed her abusive father, went to trial and was convicted of first-degree murder in 1992. She received the mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of probation or parole. In 2009, Stacey Lannert was released. Former Governor Matt Blunt believed that Lannert was sexually abused by her father and commuted her life sentence to 20 years. She was released after serving 18 years. The first link is for her complete story and the second is for the group she has started since being released.
