It’s Not Your Job To Decide
Years ago, I attended a presentation by a man who worked in investigations of child sexual assault. The purpose of his presentation was simple: teach us what to do if we ever heard a child disclose that they had been assaulted. (In a nutshell: call the authorities. Don’t ask the child any more questions, because you might compromise a police investigation.)
I had a question for our presenter. I cringe to admit I asked this, but I did, and I needed to hear the answer.
“Suppose I get a disclosure from a child with a history of lying,” I asked, “How do I know whether or not to take it seriously?”
Between 2005 and 2008, I lost four tiny babies to miscarriage. In an effort to help others who may be experiencing similar losses, I want to share the story of that journey. If you click on the title above, and then follow the “Next in Miscarriage Journey” links at the bottom of each post, you can read through my story sequentially.
