You can possibly stop the abuse of thousands of children by forwarding the link in First Time Visitor? by email, Twitter or Facebook to every Christian you know. Save a child or lots of children!!!! Do Something, please!

Pray for God to stop 1 child from being molested today.
Pray for God to stop 1 child molestation happening now.
Pray for God to rescue 1 child from sexual slavery.
Pray for God to save 1 girl from genital circumcision.
Pray for God to stop 1 girl from becoming a child-bride.
If you have the faith pray for 100 children rather than one.

Vermont Jury Awards Child Sex Abuse Victim $35m, but...

A jury in Burlington, Vermont, USA, has ordered a man to pay $35m to the woman he sexually abused multiple times as a child.

The verdict came down against Scott Isaacson, from Hyannis, Massachusetts for allegations of repeatedly sexually abusing the woman when she was between 3 and 9 years of age.

The woman is also believed to be from Massachusetts, but was allowed to sue in a Vermont court because some of the incidents of child sex abuse occurred while the two were on ski trips to Vermont.

The woman doesn't expect to collect very much of the award as Isaacson has few assets and she has her lawyer to pay.

It is likely that she sued in Vermont because jury awards are higher there than in Massachusetts. But what difference does it make whether she wins $35m or $1m? The man's assets are believed to be less than a quarter of a million dollars of which she is unlikely to ever see half.
