Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2936

Ever thought about the long road to recovery after childhood trauma? This episode of 'Stop Child Abuse Now' (SCAN) offers a powerful look into the lives of survivors who have walked that path. Bill Murray, the founder of NAASCA, kicks off the discussion by sharing his harrowing experiences of severe childhood sexual abuse, pre-pubescent X-rated photography, sex trafficking, and a two-week kidnapping.

His story is a stark reminder of the resilience it takes to heal and the importance of advocacy in changing laws to protect children. Joining him is Kim, another survivor who was taken away at a young age and sent to boarding school. Despite their traumatic pasts, both Bill and Kim have channeled their experiences into educating the public about childhood sexual abuse and pushing for legislative changes.

The episode also features a dynamic panel discussion, where listeners call in to share their own stories and thoughts on child abuse, trauma, prevention, intervention, and recovery. One standout moment is when Bill talks about the new legislation in New York that gives survivors a one-year window to seek justice. This is seen as a crucial step for many who have long been silenced.

The hosts emphasize the need for public education around childhood sexual abuse and the severe impacts it can have, such as depression and PTSD. 'Stop Child Abuse Now' is more than just a podcast; it's a lifeline for survivors and a call to action for everyone. Tune in to hear these compelling stories and join the movement for change.
