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 |
