You’ve almost certainly either
— told no one about what you suspect, or
— told one or two or three people, and now feel like “Well, I tried. It’s out of my hands now.”
Really?
If you’re still a believer, you know that virtually every religion stresses the innocence and preciousness of children. So for the sake of children, please take five minutes to learn about what real heroism is, and about someone just like you – Amy Smith of Houston – did when she suspected that her minister had hurt children.
