PLEASE Stop The Cycle Of Abuse : RULES OF THE ECHO
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[revised 06/19/92]
SAFETY... Safety for Survivors of Incest and Sexual Child Abuse
is our top priority. Perpetrators of sexual abuse
are NOT welcome here.
Survivors, those that think they might have been sexually
abused or *PRO-SURVIVORS* (those that support a survivor)
are the only people welcome to share here.
CROSS-POSTING...Because of the nature of this echo, and the topic of
Child Abuse in general, cross-posting of messages from
PLEASE to other echoes FOR ANY REASON is strictly forbidden
without permission of the original person writing the message
and the person the message was originally written to.
NO EXCEPTIONS1!!!
Any messages being imported INTO the PLEASE echo must follow
the same procedure.
PURPOSE... This echo is dedicated to the use of sharing and resolving
the issues of Survivors of Incest, and other Childhood
Abuses. This is NOT a forum for issues of perpetrators of
sexual abuse.
RELIGION... Religious philosophies and philosophies of "12 Step
Anonymous Programs" do NOT apply to all issues of
Child Abuse and Incest. Some are actually harmful!
Please "listen" for a while and get a feel how
THIS program works before giving advise on these
sensitive issues.
BLAME... The practice of "blaming the victim" is not only bad
manners, it is ultimately wrong and harmful and will
not be tolerated.
FEELINGS... Feelings of sorrow, rage, fear, pain and hatred are not
only ACCEPTED, but EXPECTED. We have had a great deal
taken from us. Only now can we direct our negative
feelings where they justly belong: at the perpetrator(s).
SHARING... All sharing, when directed at other survivors, is to be
thoughtful, kind and understanding. Avoidance of words
such as "should" and "must" helps stay away from advice
giving and hurt feelings.
MODERATOR DECISIONS ARE FINAL.
If you have a question about any decision made by the
moderator, contact the moderator via netmail at the
address below, or call the BBS listed below and leave
a message for Chris E.
DO NOT use the echo for these discussions.
