 College-age women are 4 TIMES more likely to be sexually assaulted than any other age group, so raising awareness on college campuses is crucial. Students at more than 1200 college campuses across the country participated in RAINN Day 2008, helping raise sexual assault awareness for both men and women & reaching more than 1 million students.

I'm a writer and I have a book I'm publishing called "Chronicles of Afrodite". It's about a woman who's exposure as a child to child rape and molestation by her stepfather has encouraged her as a woman to fight back by seeking him out and bringing him to justice as now he has her younger brother under his wing being exposed to a violent lifestyle. Most of the proceeds from sales will be donated to causes and charities who support the fight against child abuse.

its nice to see someone taking action on issues like this
What would you do?

Sugar and spice and everything nice.

This is suppose to every little girls life.

What happens when life is not like that?

What if your life is filled with constant abuse by the people who suppose to protect you?

For little Katelynn of Indiana, her life is filled with this from a father, stepmother and father's family; everyone but her the relatives that love her have been deined the ability to see her.

What happens when the police will not stop this?

Than try Child Protection Service, but they will not stop this either.

The next thing to do is go to the court.

What would you do if the Child Protection Services and the court helped the abusers hurt her?

The media might work but they ignore majority of average people.

In this search for help, several politicians ignored or said stop bothering them.

If these people will not help little katelynn than who will?

Will this little girl have to pay the ultimate price for these adults mistakes?

Now, what will you do?!

This is Indiana's Shame and these are Teardrops for Katelynn
