Heroes To The Public Villains To The Law
My fantasy adventure novel is part of an ongoing series. The villains of my stories
go through extreme lengths to be noticed and heard.
As a child, my siblings and I were a victim of harsh child abuse. We all suffered at the hands of our
father for years. Child Protective Service, who were supposed to help us, failed us time after time. They
turned a blind eye. These traumatic experiences lead me to write my three-part vigilante justice series
based on the horror I lived through as an innocent child.
There are thousands of children nationwide who are subjects of child abuse cases. This fantasy adventure
positions the protagonists as villains fighting against a rash of different injustices, especially in
child abuse cases. In real life, some villains are like superheroes because they fight for a good cause
but unfortunately, their causes sometimes don't align with the norms of life. Each villain of these
adventures has the agenda of being noticed, heard, and getting their messages across at any cause.
We too can help save America's children by recognizing the signs of child abuse and reporting it.
Let's shine a light on this issue through advocacy. Let's educate child protective services
allowing them to improve their methods to do a better job of handling child abuse cases.
