Subject: RE: BS: Child abuse in Ireland
Smokey, You're absolutely right about Michael O'Brien's courage. To have survived such childhood horror and go on to become a councilor and mayor took incredible fortitude. And then to so publicly expose his anguish to try to make the horror stop, to ensure that future generations of defenseless children are never victimized in that way again. In my book Michael O'Brien is a great hero. If you don't know what I'm talking about yet, go to my last post and click on his name.
It will tear your heart out.
