Letter from the Founder of TAALK – Diane Cranley
On January 18, 2007, the voice and courage of one little girl changed the world…
That was the day my youngest daughter disclosed that she was being sexually abused. That was the day that we understood for the first time why her older sister had been struggling with her health, concentration and school grades for years. That was the day that I realized that I was not alone and that I could finally talk about my abuse after 33 years. That was the day we began our search for other victims of my daughters’ perpetrator and found others he had abused and others he was grooming. That was the day we began to see the work God had planned for us; a mission to save past, present and future victims of child sexual abuse; a mission to touch the lives and connect millions of people around the world who have been victimized and impacted by this horrible epidemic.
Who would have thought that a single moment of truth, a single sentence, a single decision to break the silence would have had such a profound impact on so many lives?
Every survivor, every offender and many non-offending parents, family members and friends have similar moments of truth; a moment when they must decide whether to break the silence of their own abuse and begin their healing, a moment when they must choose to accept the consequences of their past actions and ask for help to stop abusing children, a moment when they must choose whether to believe a child or the obvious signs of abuse and take action to protect that child.
Make a Decision to Get Involved
Whether you’ve been directly or indirectly impacted by child sexual abuse or you’re just a conscientious community member, today I present you with a moment of truth; a moment when you must make a decision to read the rest of this website, to actively participate in our awareness program, and to enroll in our prevention course; and most importantly a moment when you must decide to break the silence and tell someone else about this epidemic and what they can do to help protect children.
Child sexual abuse is a community problem, but child sexual abuse prevention is a personal decision that will save the lives of hundreds of thousands of children.
