Please sign these petitions as a plea to our govt. to try to save the lives of our innocent and trusting children. It will truly be the best thing you can do for the safety of these angels who can't speak up for themselves - or defend themselves from harm. Every petition is so very worth signing! Thanks so much!

The following petitions regard our children, our future, if we do not take care of them, who will be taking care of us in the future? We'll be depending on them forthcoming. Therefore, I urge you to protect our children and it's the right thing to do. Speak out and be a voice for them, for we are their voice. Thank you!!
My daughter JoHanna was 7 years old when her father started molesting her, and was 13 when she finally reported the abuse. JoHanna turned 15 today. We had a semi-positive outcome, but the whole ordeal was a judicial nightmare, and unfair to JoHanna. The case was at risk from the beginning, and my daughter was continually victimized by the defendant, as well as victimized by the system that is in place to protect her............. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/foralljohannas/
