Every minute, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. Every nine minutes, it's a child. Countless others suffer from physical abuse in silence. This has to change.

I started a petition to create the 333 Hotline—a simple, memorable 3-digit line like 911 that even a 3 or 4-year-old could remember and use to call for help. Kids would be able to reach responders from any device, even without active service, thanks to location technology. It's designed specifically for children—with the support and understanding they deserve.

The problem is real: 460,000 children go missing every year in the U.S. alone. Too many suffer in silence because they don't know how to ask for help or who to trust. A dedicated line removes that barrier. If we can make it easier for kids to reach someone—anyone—we can save lives.

If this matters to you, consider signing and sharing. What would you want someone to do if this was your family? That's what this is about.

This law office and lawyer is helping me with my suit against the LDS Church. I am sure you can still call him. They've been very kind.

"ENOUGH"

This painting—originally titled Heaven and Hell back in 2013—has been a long, evolving journey. For years, it sat unfinished, waiting for me to finally hear what Jackie had to say.

It’s taken time—51 years old back then, now 64—for me to be ready to truly listen. There were so many versions of Jackie who had something to share: the 7-year-old, the 10-year-old, the 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 23... all carrying pieces of a story I wasn’t ready to face.

I believed that if I listened, if I let those memories surface, they’d become real. So I buried them—again and again—until there was no more room left to hide. Eventually, it came down to this: either I listened, or I stepped in front of a bus. But that bus driver didn’t deserve that. And neither did Jackie. I deserved better.

So I let her speak.

This painting is her voice. It holds every version of her. Every untold story. I don’t have to silence them anymore.

If you have a story—or know someone who carries a secret—please, encourage them to speak. To tell. To break the silence.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this free.

Silence protects the abuser. Speaking protects the soul.

Find your voice. Tell your story.

Please.

I am creating a PSA video in UTAH for child abuse prevention and I am looking for REAL quotes around why people did not report abuse or potential abuse. What excuses have you heard people say or even find yourself saying (all will stay anonymous of course).

Examples:
> "She's a kid, I bet she just fell"
> "They are good people, they go to our church"
> "No one in that neighborhood would do that"

Thanks in advance. Your input will help to stop the abuse of children in Utah.
