Alhamdulillah! This is an issue that lacks attention but that is soooo important. I would like to just expand on one thing: THIS DOES ALSO HAPPEN TO BOYS. Ya Allah protect us our children for this evil and soften the hearts of those who inflict this harm.</description>

		<description>I am an American Jew (and a victim of molestation at the hands of a teacher who now calls herself a Christian, but God knows better...), but I found your information helpful and very enlightened. First of all, you list only those aftereffects that have been soundly scientifically proven to happen. Secondly, you aim to make sure victims are still close to God. I love Him dearly. If not for Him, I would have surely slit my wrists that year she was my teacher, or sometime afterwards during the tumult of puberty. Allah has certainly blessed you with wisdom, intelligence, and insight. And a heart. That is what&#039;s most important. I send you love.</description>

“sister:no nonsense”, we weren’t ignoring you.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Wasalaam.  I never said you (all) were.  Thanks a lot for fixing it.  I can access it now.  I was just trying to instigate a speedy response. : )</description>

		<description>salam
&quot;sister:no nonsense&quot;, we weren&#039;t ignoring you. Actually I thought the link was a problem, but only when I opened the article in Internet Explorer, did I realize that the article wasn&#039;t showing up.  It was working fine in firefox... very strange.

Anyway, it is working now...
