Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 3401

Tonight, our survivor professional co-host is Cherie White from Covington, Tennessee, an anti-bullying advocate and author of three books who uses her own story of being bullied and gaslighted to help those enduring the same abuse today. "In 6th grade, I began a long lesson in the human predator/prey dynamic and a battle for my dignity, safety, and soul." At first, she took the physical beatings, name-calling, and abuse. In just six months she went from being a kid who always made the honor roll, to angry and bitter and making only C's and D's. "Who could concentrate on schoolwork?" Because she felt so powerless, Cherie attempted suicide at the age of fourteen. She began to bully those who were even weaker than her in attempts to grab back some of her power."~On these episodes we welcome survivor professionals who'll assist in fielding questions and lead a variety of topics suggested by our call-in participants. Their trauma-informed perspectives as survivor-professionals will help them guide discussions on the issues of child abuse, trauma, and healthy human sexuality that spring from questions and topics brought to us by our listeners.~Everyone's invited to engage in tonight's show.~Please visit the NAASCA.org website.
