I stand here today not only as a survivor of abuse as a child but a survivor of our system's abuse. It is time we said what needs to be said: enough is enough and we won't tolerate it any more. We must focus on our most vulnerable, our children. Parents are grownups. They can make their own choices and decisions. Our children don't have the ability to make big choices yet, and they shouldn't need to. They deserve our guidance and protection.
