MUSCLE SHOALS, AL (WAFF) –
The entire Highland Park Baptist Church Congregation is struggling to cope with the news about Children’s Pastor Jeffrey Eddie who was charged with multiple counts of sodomy and sex abuse involving children.
Dr. Drew Jamieson, a licensed marriage and family therapist, said if you attend Highland Park Baptist Church it’s vital you find out if your child is a victim of the alleged sexual abuse.
Many kids are afraid or embarrassed to come forward with that information. They think they have done something wrong and fear they will get in trouble.
Dr. Jamieson said parents first need to sit down with their children and ask them questions. Find out what they have heard about the situation, how it makes them feel, and if there was ever a time that something comfortable or inappropriate happened.
