ENEMY ON THE INSIDE

Responses to the Work in Progress

From the dialogue with Grace Poore at Wright State University, Dayton, OH, Apr 18, 2006

"An experience like yesterday makes one realize the issues that many of our students hold near their hearts, and how an excellent and dynamic speaker like Grace can provide the safe and understanding environment to self-disclose and express some of their deepest thoughts and concerns. The experience was moving - THANKS!"

"Grace really inspired me. I am almost finished with school and am trying to decide which direction I want to go in. Grace made me want to stand up for children who are survivors of abuse, so I am looking into non-profit organizations."

"The number one message I walked away with was this: 'If what we are doing now to punish/rehabilitate sex offenders is not working, what will we do to stop this in the future? We need to make a change."

"(Grace's) speech, articles, and films taught me that this is a very serious issue in the United States and all over the world and we must do whatever we can to protect ourselves and our young children."

"I now know that sexually abused children need people to speak up for them and after seeing Grace Poore's presentation, and reading her articles, I am willing to be one of those people."

"Grace Poore's presentation was by far one of the most enlightening I have ever been to. Not only did she leave no stone unturned, but she truly valued our opinions and feedback as an audience. It felt like a weight being taken off our shoulders knowing that it was a safe environment where we could openly talk about this difficult topic and I know it was therapeutic for me as well. I gained not only a new knowledge for the subject; I opened my mind to the many different possibilities that could help to better the problem of sexual abuse in the future."
