a midnight call

I answer the rape crisis line once a week. Most of the time I get to sleep. Last night I talked to a 15-year-old girl who was raped in a movie theater by a guy she had just met. Her main concern was that she would be taken away from her mom because her mom had given her permission to go to the movies. The movies! How is it possible that this happens? My heart goes out to the poor little girl.

Bless your little heart.

I used to work in a clinic where they did free pregnancy tests. It's pretty sad how often we had to replace the rape crisis info pages in the restroom.

How sad, and scary. These are the things that make me over protective of my kids. The movies, of all things!
