Exceptional and deeply moving. If there ever was to be a moment in these uncertain times and within our neighbouring country's history which reflects the strength, character, and compassion of many of its people, Simone Biles exemplifies this exceptional moment to the letter. A heartfelt thank you to Simone as well as to all Americans who are committed to lessening the suffering of those who are suffering. 🌸

Police ignoring victim concerns goes on at every level so heartbreaking that the system enables the perpetrators instead. Have to wonder how many of them just get away with it no consequences too if they stop at some point unlike Larry. I suppose sexual assault is not really assault in their opinion or they think the trauma from the incident is irrelevant too? Ignoring the issue is like victim shaming too in a way calling the girls liars because if they are not liars why don't investigators help them?

The sad and tragic thing is that this went on so long and so many lives were ruined . These women are brave souls and hopefully this will change the system from within. To know that children are abused and do nothing is unacceptable. As a teacher if I know a student is being abused I am bound by law to report it or face job loss and criminal charges. Even if this law didn't exist there is no way I could turn a blind eye to this.

Christine Blasey Ford was also brave when she spoke in public about Brett Kavanaugh but the Republican Senators did not believe her, does that sound familiar? Now they do? The Republican Senators are as odious as the FBI were to those female gymnasts.

I’d say this comment is just ridiculous. A pedophile doesn’t do it for attraction. He molested nine yr olds. Are 9 yr old attractive in a grown mans eyes? Is a 13 yr old or a 15 yr a turn on for a man easily in his 40’s? It’s about power for them not looks. My goodness. NEver seen such an invalid comment
