Somebody in Alabama needs to call the state Office of Child Protective Services.
I just watched a segment on MSNBC about GOP officials in Alabama falling all over themselves to characterize Moore’s alleged underage sexual molestation as “no big deal.” Basically, they are saying “Even if it’s true… So what? It was a long time ago, she asked for it, I’d still vote for him and Hillary Clinton.”
This response is apparently coming from senior state officials like the Secretary of State and the Stae Auditor, as well as many, many county-level GOP chairmen. If this is their attitude, I worry about the safety of the daughters and granddaughters of these perverts. Their comments are “normalizing” sexual relations between professional men in their 30’s and young teenagers.
If you are reading this and live in Alabama, please monitor the comments from your local and state GOP officials, and call the local county office of the Alabama Office of Child Protection whenever one of these pervs outs himself by making a public statement that the rest of us recognize as a danger signal.
The victims of child sexual abuse often wonder why the adults around them did not recognize and act on the danger signals.
If you are in Alabama you can report danger signals to the state government’s Child Protection professionals. The Child Protection web page has an engine that generates local contact information:
Please — do your civic duty and protect vulnerable young Alabama teenagers from the predators in their own families.
