Antisocial & Histrionic
Antisocial personality disorder
Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is a psychiatric condition characterized by an individual's common disregard for social rules, norms, and cultural codes, as well as impulsive behavior, and indifference to the rights and feelings of others. Antisocial personality disorder is terminology used by the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, while the World Health Organization's ICD-10 refers to Dissocial personality disorder.
Diagnostic criteria (DSM-IV-TR)
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV, currently DSM-IV-TR), a widely used manual for diagnosing mental and behavioral disorders, defines antisocial personality disorder as a pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others occurring since age 15vc, as indicated by three (or more) of the following:
1.failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest
2.deceitfulness, as indicated by repeated lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure
3.impulsivity or failure to plan ahead
4.irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
5.reckless disregard for safety of self or others
6.consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain steady work or honor financial obligations
7.lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another
Diagnostic criteria (ICD-10)
Chapter V of the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases offers a set of criteria for diagnosing the related construct of dissocial personality disorder.
Dissocial Personality Disorder (F60.2), usually coming to attf a gross disparity between behavior and the prevailing social norms, and characterized by:
callous unconcern for the feelings of others;
gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations;
incapacity to maintain enduring relationships, though having no difficulty in establishing them;
very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence;
incapacity to experience guilt or to profit from experience, particularly punishment;
marked proneness to blame others, or to offer plausible rationalizations, for the behavior that has brought the patient into conflict with society.
There may also be persistent irritability as an associated feature. Conduct disorder during childhood and adolescence, though not invariably present, may further support the diagnosis.
Symptoms
Common characteristics of people with antisocial personality disorder include:
Persistent lying or stealing
Recurring difficulties with the law
Tendency to violate the rights of others (property, physical, sexual, emotional, legal)
Substance abuse
Aggressive, often violent behavior; prone to getting involved in fights
A persistent agitated or depressed feeling (dysphoria)
Inability to tolerate boredom
Disregard for the safety of self or others
A childhood diagnosis of conduct disorders
Lack of remorse for hurting others
Superficial charm
Impulsiveness
A sense of extreme entitlement
Inability to make or keep friends
Lack of guilt
Recklessness, impulsivity
People who have antisocial personality disorder often experience difficulties with authority figures.

Histrionic personality disorder
Histrionic personality disorder (HPD) is a personality disorder characterized by a pattern of excessive emotionality and attention-seeking, including an excessive need for approval and inappropriate seductiveness, usually beginning in early adulthood.
The essential feature of the histrionic personality disorder is a pervasive and excessive pattern of emotionality and attention-seeking behavior. These individuals are lively, dramatic, enthusiastic, and flirtatious. They may be inappropriately sexually provocative, express strong emotions with an impressionistic style, and be easily influenced by others.
The literature differentiates HPD according to gender. Women with HPD are described as self-centered, self-indulgent, and intensely dependent on others. They are emotionally labile and cling to others in the context of immature relationships. Females with HPD over identify with others; they project their own unrealistic, fantasied intentions onto people with whom they are involved. They are emotionally shallow and have difficulty understanding others or themselves in any depth. Selection of marital or sexual partners is often highly inappropriate. Pathology increases with the level of intimacy in relationships. Women with HPD may show inappropriate and intense anger. They may engage in manipulative suicide threats as one aspect of general manipulative interpersonal behavior.
Males with HPD usually present with identity diffusion, disturbed relationships, and lack of impulse control. They have antisocial tendencies and are inclined to exploit physical symptoms. These men are emotionally immature, dramatic, and shallow. Both men and women with HPD engage in disinhibited behavior.
People with this disorder are usually able to function at a high level and can be successful socially and at work. However, histrionic personality disorder may affect a person's social or romantic relationships or their ability to cope with losses or failures. People with this disorder may seek treatment for depression when romantic relationships end, although this is by no means a feature exclusive to this disorder. They often fail to see their own situation realistically, instead tending to dramatize and exaggerate. Responsibility for failure or disappointment is usually blamed on others. They may go through frequent job changes, as they become easily bored and have trouble dealing with frustration. Because they tend to crave novelty and excitement, they may place themselves in risky situations. All of these factors may lead to greater risk of developing depression.
Causes
The cause of this disorder is unknown, but childhood events and genetics may both be involved. It occurs more frequently in women than in men. Histrionic Personality Disorder is only rarely found in men; men with similar symptoms are often diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder.
Little research has been conducted to determine the biologic sources of this disorder. Psychoanalytic theories incriminate seductive and authoritarian attitudes by fathers of these patients.
Symptoms
The symptoms include:
Constant seeking of reassurance or approval.
Excessive dramatics with exaggerated displays of emotions.
Excessive sensitivity to criticism or disapproval.
Inappropriately seductive appearance or behavior.
Excessive concern with physical appearance.
A need to be the center of attention (self-centeredness).
Low tolerance for frustration or delayed gratification.
Rapidly shifting emotional states that may appear shallow to others.
Opinions are easily influenced by other people, but difficult to back up with details.
Tendency to believe that relationships are more intimate than they actually are.
Make rash decisions
Threaten or attempt suicide to get attention
Diagnostic criteria (DSM-IV-TR)
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a widely used manual for diagnosing mental disorders, defines histrionic personality disorder as a pervasive pattern of excessive emotionality and attention seeking, beginning by early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:
1.is uncomfortable in situations in which he or she is not the center of attention
2.interaction with others is often characterized by inappropriate sexually seductive or provocative behavior
3.displays rapidly shifting and shallow expression of emotions
4.consistently uses physical appearance to draw attention to self
5.has a style of speech that is excessively impressionistic and lacking in detail
6.shows self-dramatization, theatricality, and exaggerated expression of emotion
7.is suggestible, i.e., easily influenced by others or circumstances
8.considers relationships to be more intimate than they actually are.
Mnemonic
A mnemonic that can be used to remember the criteria for histrionic personality disorder is PRAISE ME:
P - provocative (or seductive) behavior
R - relationships, considered more intimate than they are
A - attention, must be at center of
I - influenced easily
S - speech (style) - wants to impress, lacks detail
E - emotional lability, shallowness
M - make-up - physical appearance used to draw attention to self
E - exaggerated emotions - theatrical
Diagnostic criteria (ICD-10)
The International Statistical Classification of Diseases defines histrionic personality disorder as characterized by:
self-dramatization, theatricality, exaggerated expression of emotions;
suggestibility, easily influenced by others or by circumstances;
shallow and labile affectivity;
continual seeking for excitement and activities in which the patient is the centre of attention;
inappropriate seductiveness in appearance or behaviour;
over-concern with physical attractiveness.
Associated features may include egocentricity, self-indulgence, continuous longing for appreciation, feelings that are easily hurt, and persistent manipulative behaviour to achieve own needs.
Treatment
Because of the lack of research support for work on personality disorders and long-term treatment with psychotherapy, the empirical findings on the treatment of these disorders remain based on the case report method and not on clinical trials. On the basis of case presentations, the treatment of choice is psychotherapy aimed at self-development through resolution of conflict and advancement of inhibited developmental lines. Group therapy is not recommended for those with HPD because it often perpetuates histrionic behavior because the person then has an audience to play off of.

Sexually Active Teenagers Are More Likely to Be Depressed and to Attempt Suicide
Sexually Active Teenagers Are More Likely to Be Depressed and to Attempt Suicide
by Robert E. Rector, Kirk A. Johnson, Ph.D., and Lauren R. Noyes
Center for Data Analysis Report #03-04
Teenage sexual activity is an issue of widespread national concern. Although teen sexual activity has declined in recent years, the overall rate is still high. In 1997, approximately 48 percent of American teenagers of high-school age were or had been sexually active.
When compared to teens who are not sexually active, teenage boys and girls who are sexually active are significantly less likely to be happy and more likely to feel depressed.
When compared to teens who are not sexually active, teenage boys and girls who are sexually active are significantly more likely to attempt suicide.
Thus, in addition to its role in promoting teen pregnancy and the current epidemic of STDs, early sexual activity is a substantial factor in undermining the emotional well-being of American teenagers.
DATA SOURCE AND METHODS
The data used in this analysis are taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health, Wave II, 1996. This “Ad-Health” survey is a nationwide survey designed to examine the health-related behaviors of adolescents in middle school and high school. Its public-use database contains responses from approximately 6,500 adolescents, representative of teenagers across the nation. The survey is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and 17 other federal agencies.
This Heritage CDA analysis focuses on the link between sexual activity and emotional well-being among teens in high school years (ages 14 through 17). The Ad-Health survey asks students whether they have “ever had sexual intercourse.”[4] For purposes of analysis, teens who answered yes to this question are labeled as “sexually active” and those who answered no are labeled as “not sexually active.”
The survey also records the emotional health of teens. Students are asked how often, in the past week, they “felt depressed.” They are provided with four possible answers to the question: They felt depressed
(a) Never or rarely,
(b) Sometimes,
(c) A lot of the time, or
(d) Most of the time or all of the time.
For purposes of analysis, the classification of depressed is given tothose teens who answered yes to options “c” or “d”—that is, they said they felt depressed a lot, most, or all of the time. Thus, throughout the paper, the terms “depressed” or “depression” refer to this general state of continuing unhappiness rather than to a more specific sense of clinical depression.
SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND DEPRESSION
The Ad-Health data reveal substantial differences in emotional health between those teens who are sexually active and those who are not. As Charts 1 and 2 show:
A full quarter (25.3 percent) of teenage girls who are sexually active report that they are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. By contrast, only 7.7 percent of teenage girls who are not sexually active report that they are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. Thus, sexually active girls are more than three times more likely to be depressed than are girls who are not sexually active.
Some 8.3 percent of teenage boys who are sexually active report that they are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. By contrast, only 3.4 percent of teenage boys who are not sexually active are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. Thus, boys who are sexually active are more than twice as likely to be depressed as are those who are not sexually active.
The link between teen sexual activity and depression is supported by clinical experience. Doctor of adolescent medicine Meg Meeker writes, “Teenage sexual activity routinely leads to emotional turmoil and psychological distress…. [Sexual permissiveness leads] to empty relationships, to feelings of self-contempt and worthlessness. All, of course, precursors to depression.”[5]
Sexual Activity and Attempted Suicide
The Ad-Health survey also asks students whether they have attempted suicide during the past year. As Charts 3 and 4 show, the link between sexual activity and attempted suicide is clear.
A full 14.3 percent of girls who are sexually active report having attempted suicide. By contrast, only 5.1 percent of sexually inactive girls have attempted suicide. Thus, sexually active girls are nearly three times more likely to attempt suicide than are girls who are not sexually active.
Among boys, 6.0 percent of those who are sexually active have attempted suicide. By contrast, only 0.7 percent of boys who are not sexually active have attempted suicide. Thus, sexually active teenage boys are eight times more likely to attempt suicide than are boys who are not sexually active.
Social Factors
The differences in emotional health between sexually active and inactive teens are clear. However, it is possible that the differences in emotional well-being might be driven by social background factors rather than sexual activity per se. For example, if students of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to be sexually active, the greater frequency of depression among those teens might be caused by socioeconomic status rather than sexual activity.
To account for that possibility, additional analysis was performed in which race, gender, exact age, and family income were entered as control variables. This means that each teen was compared to other teens who were identical in gender, age, race, and income.
The introduction of these control or background variables had virtually no effect on the correlations between sexual activity and depression and suicide. In simple terms, when teens were compared to other teens who were identical in gender, race, age and family income, those who were sexually active were significantly more likely to be depressed and to attempt suicide than were those who were not sexually active.
Teens Express Regrets over Sexual Activity
The significantly lower levels of happiness and higher levels of depression among sexually active teens suggest that sexual activity leads to a decrease in happiness and well-being among many, if not most, teenagers. This conclusion is corroborated by the fact that the majority of sexually active teens express reservations and concerns about their personal sexual activity.
For example, a recent poll by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy asked the question, “If you have had sexual intercourse, do you wish you had waited longer?”[6] Among those teens who reported that they had engaged in intercourse, nearly two-thirds stated that they wished they had waited longer before becoming sexually active. By contrast, only one-third of sexually active teens asserted that their commencement of sexual activity was appropriate and that they did not wish they had waited until they were older. Thus, among sexually active teens, those who regretted early sexual activity outnumbered those without such concerns by nearly two to one.
Concerns and regrets about sexual activity are strongest among teenage girls. Almost three-quarters of sexually active teen girls admit they wish they had delayed sexual activity until they were older. Among sexually active teenage girls, those with regrets concerning their initial sexual activity outnumbered those without regrets by nearly three to one.
The dissatisfaction and regrets expressed by teenagers concerning their own sexual activity is striking. Overall, a majority of sexually active boys and nearly three-quarters of sexually active girls regard their own initial sexual experience unfavorably—as an event they wish they had avoided.
Discussion
While the association between teen sexual activity and depression is clear, that association may be subject to different theoretical interpretations. For example, it might be that depressed teenagers turn to sexual activity in an effort to assuage or escape their depression. In this interpretation, the link between sexual activity and depression (presented in Table 1) might be caused by a higher level of sexual activity among those who are already depressed before commencing sexual activity. Thus, depression might lead to greater sexual activity rather than sexual activity’s leading to depression.
In limited cases, this explanation may be correct; some depressed teens may experiment with sexual activity in an effort to escape their depression. However, as a general interpretation of the linkage between depression and teen sexual activity, this reasoning seems inadequate for two reasons.First, as Table 1 shows, the differences in happiness and depression between sexually active and inactive teens are widespread and are not the result of a small number of depressed individuals. This is especially true for girls. Second, the fact that a majority of teens express regrets concerning their own initial sexual activity strongly suggests that such activity leads to distress and emotional turmoil among many, if not most, teens.
Hence, the most likely explanation of the overall link between teen sexual activity and depression is that early sexual activity leads to emotional stress and reduces teen happiness.
Moreover, theoretical questions about whether teen sexual activity leads to depression or, conversely, whether depression leads to teen sexual activity should not distract attention from the clear message that adult society should be sending to teens. Teens should be told that sexual activity in teen years is clearly linked to reduced personal happiness. Teens who are depressed should be informed that sexual activity is likely to exacerbate, rather than alleviate, their depression. Teens who are not depressed should be told that sexual activity in teen years is likely to substantially reduce their happiness and personal well-being.
Conclusion
Sexual activity among teenagers is the major driving factor behind the well-publicized problems of the high incidence of teenage STDs and teen pregnancy. The analysis presented in this paper also shows that sexual activity is directly connected to substantial problems among teens regarding emotional health.
Teenagers of both genders who are sexually active are substantially less likely to be happy and more likely to be depressed than are teenagers who are not sexually active.
Teenagers of both genders who are sexually active are substantially more likely to attempt suicide than are teenagers who are not sexually active.
Until recently, society provided teenagers with classroom instruction in “safe sex” and “comprehensive sex education.”[7] In general, these curricula fail to provide a strong message to delay sexual activity, fail to deal adequately with the long-term emotional and moral aspects of sexuality, and fail to provide students with the skills needed to develop intimate loving marital relationships as adults.
Over the past five years, there has been a growth in abstinence education programs that stand in sharp contrast to “safe sex” curricula. The best abstinence education programs teach:
The primary importance of delaying sexual activity,
That human sexual relationships are predominantly emotional and moral rather than physical in character, and
That teen abstinence is an important step leading toward a loving marital relationship as an adult.
Such abstinence education programs are uniquely suited to meeting both the emotional and the physical needs of America’s youth.

The Ad-Health survey asks students whether they have “ever had sexual intercourse.”[4] For purposes of analysis, teens who answered yes to this question are labeled as “sexually active” and those who answered no are labeled as “not sexually active.”
The survey also records the emotional health of teens. Students are asked how often, in the past week, they “felt depressed.” They are provided with four possible answers to the question: They felt depressed
(a) Never or rarely,

(c) A lot of the time, or
(d) Most of the time or all of the time.
For purposes of analysis, the classification of depressed is given tothose teens who answered yes to options “c” or “d”—that is, they said they felt depressed a lot, most, or all of the time. Thus, throughout the paper, the terms “depressed” or “depression” refer to this general state of continuing unhappiness rather than to a more specific sense of clinical depression.
SEXUAL ACTIVITY AND DEPRESSION
The Ad-Health data reveal substantial differences in emotional health between those teens who are sexually active and those who are not. As Charts 1 and 2 show:
A full quarter (25.3 percent) of teenage girls who are sexually active report that they are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. By contrast, only 7.7 percent of teenage girls who are not sexually active report that they are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. Thus, sexually active girls are more than three times more likely to be depressed than are girls who are not sexually active.
Some 8.3 percent of teenage boys who are sexually active report that they are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. By contrast, only 3.4 percent of teenage boys who are not sexually active are depressed all, most, or a lot of the time. Thus, boys who are sexually active are more than twice as likely to be depressed as are those who are not sexually active.
The link between teen sexual activity and depression is supported by clinical experience. Doctor of adolescent medicine Meg Meeker writes, “Teenage sexual activity routinely leads to emotional turmoil and psychological distress…. [Sexual permissiveness leads] to empty relationships, to feelings of self-contempt and worthlessness. All, of course, precursors to depression.”[5]
Sexual Activity and Attempted Suicide
The Ad-Health survey also asks students whether they have attempted suicide during the past year. As Charts 3 and 4 show, the link between sexual activity and attempted suicide is clear.
A full 14.3 percent of girls who are sexually active report having attempted suicide. By contrast, only 5.1 percent of sexually inactive girls have attempted suicide. Thus, sexually active girls are nearly three times more likely to attempt suicide than are girls who are not sexually active.
Among boys, 6.0 percent of those who are sexually active have attempted suicide. By contrast, only 0.7 percent of boys who are not sexually active have attempted suicide. Thus, sexually active teenage boys are eight times more likely to attempt suicide than are boys who are not sexually active.
Social Factors
The differences in emotional health between sexually active and inactive teens are clear. However, it is possible that the differences in emotional well-being might be driven by social background factors rather than sexual activity per se. For example, if students of lower socioeconomic status are more likely to be sexually active, the greater frequency of depression among those teens might be caused by socioeconomic status rather than sexual activity.
To account for that possibility, additional analysis was performed in which race, gender, exact age, and family income were entered as control variables. This means that each teen was compared to other teens who were identical in gender, age, race, and income.
The introduction of these control or background variables had virtually no effect on the correlations between sexual activity and depression and suicide. In simple terms, when teens were compared to other teens who were identical in gender, race, age and family income, those who were sexually active were significantly more likely to be depressed and to attempt suicide than were those who were not sexually active.
Teens Express Regrets over Sexual Activity
The significantly lower levels of happiness and higher levels of depression among sexually active teens suggest that sexual activity leads to a decrease in happiness and well-being among many, if not most, teenagers. This conclusion is corroborated by the fact that the majority of sexually active teens express reservations and concerns about their personal sexual activity.
For example, a recent poll by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy asked the question, “If you have had sexual intercourse, do you wish you had waited longer?”[6] Among those teens who reported that they had engaged in intercourse, nearly two-thirds stated that they wished they had waited longer before becoming sexually active. By contrast, only one-third of sexually active teens asserted that their commencement of sexual activity was appropriate and that they did not wish they had waited until they were older. Thus, among sexually active teens, those who regretted early sexual activity outnumbered those without such concerns by nearly two to one.
Concerns and regrets about sexual activity are strongest among teenage girls. Almost three-quarters of sexually active teen girls admit they wish they had delayed sexual activity until they were older. Among sexually active teenage girls, those with regrets concerning their initial sexual activity outnumbered those without regrets by nearly three to one.
The dissatisfaction and regrets expressed by teenagers concerning their own sexual activity is striking. Overall, a majority of sexually active boys and nearly three-quarters of sexually active girls regard their own initial sexual experience unfavorably—as an event they wish they had avoided.
Discussion
While the association between teen sexual activity and depression is clear, that association may be subject to different theoretical interpretations. For example, it might be that depressed teenagers turn to sexual activity in an effort to assuage or escape their depression. In this interpretation, the link between sexual activity and depression (presented in Table 1) might be caused by a higher level of sexual activity among those who are already depressed before commencing sexual activity. Thus, depression might lead to greater sexual activity rather than sexual activity’s leading to depression.
In limited cases, this explanation may be correct; some depressed teens may experiment with sexual activity in an effort to escape their depression. However, as a general interpretation of the linkage between depression and teen sexual activity, this reasoning seems inadequate for two reasons.First, as Table 1 shows, the differences in happiness and depression between sexually active and inactive teens are widespread and are not the result of a small number of depressed individuals. This is especially true for girls. Second, the fact that a majority of teens express regrets concerning their own initial sexual activity strongly suggests that such activity leads to distress and emotional turmoil among many, if not most, teens.
Hence, the most likely explanation of the overall link between teen sexual activity and depression is that early sexual activity leads to emotional stress and reduces teen happiness.
Moreover, theoretical questions about whether teen sexual activity leads to depression or, conversely, whether depression leads to teen sexual activity should not distract attention from the clear message that adult society should be sending to teens. Teens should be told that sexual activity in teen years is clearly linked to reduced personal happiness. Teens who are depressed should be informed that sexual activity is likely to exacerbate, rather than alleviate, their depression. Teens who are not depressed should be told that sexual activity in teen years is likely to substantially reduce their happiness and personal well-being.
Conclusion
Sexual activity among teenagers is the major driving factor behind the well-publicized problems of the high incidence of teenage STDs and teen pregnancy. The analysis presented in this paper also shows that sexual activity is directly connected to substantial problems among teens regarding emotional health.
Teenagers of both genders who are sexually active are substantially less likely to be happy and more likely to be depressed than are teenagers who are not sexually active.
Teenagers of both genders who are sexually active are substantially more likely to attempt suicide than are teenagers who are not sexually active.
Until recently, society provided teenagers with classroom instruction in “safe sex” and “comprehensive sex education.”[7] In general, these curricula fail to provide a strong message to delay sexual activity, fail to deal adequately with the long-term emotional and moral aspects of sexuality, and fail to provide students with the skills needed to develop intimate loving marital relationships as adults.
Over the past five years, there has been a growth in abstinence education programs that stand in sharp contrast to “safe sex” curricula. The best abstinence education programs teach:
The primary importance of delaying sexual activity,
That human sexual relationships are predominantly emotional and moral rather than physical in character, and
That teen abstinence is an important step leading toward a loving marital relationship as an adult.
Such abstinence education programs are uniquely suited to meeting both the emotional and the physical needs of America’s youth.

What is DARVO? "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender."
Short Definition (named by Jennifer Freyd, Ph.D):
DARVO refers to a reaction perpetrators of wrong doing, particularly sexual offenders, may display in response to being held accountable for their behavior. DARVO stands for "Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender." The perpetrator or offender may Deny the behavior, Attack the individual doing the confronting, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender such that the perpetrator assumes the victim role and turns the true victim into an alleged offender. This occurs, for instance, when an actually guilty perpetrator assumes the role of "falsely accused" and attacks the accuser's credibility or even blames the accuser of being the perpetrator of a false accusation.
In that paper Freyd explained that DARVO responses may be effective for perpetrators. "...I have observed that actual abusers threaten, bully and make a nightmare for anyone who holds them accountable or asks them to change their abusive behavior. This attack, intended to chill and terrify, typically includes threats of law suits, overt and covert attacks on the whistle-blower's credicility, and so on..... [T]he offender rapidly creates the impression that the abuser is the wronged one, while the victim or concerned observer is the offender. Figure and ground are completely reversed... The offender is on the offense and the person attempting to hold the offender accountable is put on the defense."
"By denying, attacking and reversing perpetrators into victims, reality gets even more confusing and unspeakable for the real victim. .... These perpetrator reactions increase the need for betrayal blindness. If the victim does speak out and gets this level of attack, she quickly gets the idea that silence is safer." (Veldhuis & Freyd, 1999. p 274).
Two Common Types of Denial
Two common forms of perpetrator (or bystander) denial are:
It didn't happen (an instance) or It rarely happens (a type of event)
It wasn't harmful
Put together they can take the form: "It didn't happen, but if it did, it wasn't that bad" or "It rarely happens, but when it does it isn't harmful." The two claims both serve to deny, but they depend upon different sorts of evidence. They may both be true, but they are sometimes somewhat suspicious when claimed simultaneously (or by the same person at different times), as for instance can occur in response to allegations of rape or child sexual abuse.
What about Recovered Memories?
Short Definition
Sivers, Schooler, and Freyd (2002, p 169) define recovered memory as "The recollection of a memory that is perceived to have been unavailable for some period of time."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DONE IN HER PAST??? Is she a joker or what?
She is currently to THIS VERY DAY making false accusations at everyone around her,
she had made several blogs in MY name to promote her pro-sex offender crap, she has never showed any remorse for her PAST and even still to this day makes excuses for her PAST!
Jan, from what we do know of you just by YOUR very own words and acts alone, is just
enough to turn any non sex offending person into an anti-Jan frenzy!
The worst part is that Jan STILL don't get it, she still plays STUPID!
Umm, Elvis is dead so he isn't here to defend himself is he? And Mark is not here so it's just you and me Jan.
AGAIN, she was making excuses and still trying to make what she has done in her life a NO BIG DEAL issue.
HA!
Again, I am not interested in open Dialog- SEE WHY?!
BRAINWASHED? LMAO! Anyone can see by your very own actions and words what you are and stand for Jan, crap that's what! Why do you think pedophiles like Nigel Oldfield like you so much?
And just like the airhead she is, she would write Petra Luna about God and the bible, only because of what I have posted into my blogs here. Only because she opened her big mouth and claimed she is a Christian woman. The airhead STILL doesn't read, or understand that (JAN READ REAL SLOW LIKE HERE) I.....AM.....NOT.....PETRA.....LUNA!
DUH..............
HATRED? HA! Yeah, take a good look in the mirror!
We are much more evil then her past, how about her current future?
Petra may not have a past like mine(in aspects that I was sexually abused), but like I said ANY(meaning all forms and backgrounds)NON-SEX-OFFENDING HUMAN don't like your crap, Jan!
I wouldn't even go here with Bible verses if Jan didn't open her mouth and claim she is a Christian, but then does what she does.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
"Therefore, if any one is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
"And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God" (Colossians 1:10)
"Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God" (2 Corinthians 7:1).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew 6
1 "Be careful that you don't do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Therefore when you do merciful deeds, don't sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3 But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 "When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, enter into your inner chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
24 "No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't serve both God and Mammon.
33 But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
It isn't my place to say whether Jan is a Christian or not, and I won't even go as far as saying that God does not forgive Jan.
But Jan is not really sorry for what she has done, because if she was she would be more honest and forthcoming. Jan would also not be making excuses for what she has done, and continue to do so.
Jan, as long as you are on the Internet and promoting what you promote, and spreading filthy lies, I will remain right behind you shining a light.

OPEN DIALOG?
NO I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANY OPEN DIALOG'S WITH JAN KRUSKA,SHILREY OR EVEN THOMAS!
IF YOU WANT PETRA LUNA TO TALK WITH THEM, THEN GO ASK HER YOURSELF, good Luck!
I HAVE VOICED BEFORE THAT THERE ARE NO RATIONAL CONVERSATION'S WITH PEOPLE WHO PLAY THE VICTIM WHEN IN FACT THEY ARE THE ABUSERS.
THEY ARE A FRAUD AND THEY ARE DECEIVING THE PUBLIC OVER THE INTERNET! JAN EVEN HAS A LINK ON HER WEBSITE CALLED, "DOOPING BIG BROTHER" WHERE SHE EXPLAINS TO REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS HOW TO HIDE FROM THE LAW!
SHE CLAIMS TO BE A CHRISTIAN, YET SHE SPEAKS OF DOOPING THE LAW.
I THOUGHT GOD SAID TO OBEY THE LAWS OF THE LAND.
Romans 13:1-2, TLB. "Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow."
AND WHAT ELSE DID THE BIBLE SAY?
Luke 17:2
"It were better for him if a millstone were hanged around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should offend one of these little ones".
Matthew 18:6-9 Jesus Warns of Offenses
6 “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!
8 “If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. 9 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire.
There is also Leviticus 18:20, then a typical abusers story 2 Samuel 13:1-22, & Ephesians 6:1-4.
JAN DOES NOT SEEM REMORSEFUL FOR HER OFFENCE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE A CHRISTIAN JAN. SHE IS PLAYING A VICTIM INSTEAD.
JAN, SHIRLEY AND THOMAS ARE IGNORANT LIARS SUPPORTING OTHER IGNORANT LIARS,
BUT LIKE PETRA SAYS, BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER!
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN GENUINELY HELPING CHILDREN WITHOUT A SELFISH AGENDA, OR CLAIMING YOU ARE HELPING THEM ALL THE WHILE PLACING THEM IN HARMS WAY. SUCH AS PROMOTING THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY, THEN FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME.

Under that hellish act it says:
All persons, both male and female, age 18 and over must submit to a plethysmograph and given a risk assessment while under polygraph.
Based upon the results of the plethysmograph, polygraph and an empirical risk assessment, each individual who cannot “pass” shall be placed on a public “high risk” registry along with their assigned risk level.
list any/all known deviations from currently accepted societal norms.
ANYONE WHO REFUSES TO SUBMIT TO THE ACT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ASSIGNED A RISK LEVEL OF THREE AS THAT CAN ONLY BE AN INDICATION THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO HIDE AND A REASON TO FEAR THIS ACT
In order to withstand any constitutional challenges which may arise, any prior criminal act which is discovered to have occurred via the risk assessment and prior to the enactment of this act cannot be held criminally liable based solely upon the information derived from the assessment. However, such acts must be considered when designating the risk level said individual poses to society

Let's see Jan talk her way out of this one! Stitches got her GOOD!
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Mark Lunsford, John Walsh, Jan Kruska, Shirley Lowery, and Thomas Madison
There are jokers out there that want to say that because Mark Lunsford has a myspace profile and has some adult things on his page, or he used his middle finger and said a curse word or two that he should not be allowed to promote Jessica's Law.
OMG PEOPLE ARE YOU FLIPPING SERIOUS?!
It isn't like he has any porn on there, there is nothing on there that is against myspace TOS (Terms Of Service)!
At least from what I have seen.
Okay so there was a picture of him flipping the bird, WHOOPTY FREAKING DO!
Okay what else, he owns a gun BIG WHOOPTY DOO again!
UPDATED THOUGHT (also noted in my comments):
Jan Kruska says that she is heavily armed and prepared to take action against those who seek to harm her or her family.
I really can't blame her for that, however doesn't she run around claiming that she is all about child safety and stuff? So if this lame attack can be pointed at Mark Lunsford, then shouldn't it also be pointed at Jan as well?
and the full screenshot where this statement by her was made can be found in this blog.
Okay what else, he is an ADULT SINGLE MALE with some pretty girls on his page, some are scantily clad but still not against myspace TOS (Except the two women showing their behinds off in underwear, that is against TOS. However those women are breaking myspace TOS, NOT Mark. Besides, when he added them they may not have even had those pictures up at the time).Okay, what else is there, UHHHH this picture is NOT from his profile page (referring to the second picture below), but from someone else's.
You can see at the top of this screenshot that this is from the profile of a 39 year old female from Virginia. And so what? It is a joke at strippers! Okay moving on...
Let's see what else can we find....well....nothing else? Okay then.
So what is the owner of this blog http://johnwalshournewgod.blogspot.com/ trying to get at?
That Mark Lunsford is supposed to be a role model for children? The stupidity!
Mark Lunsford is a father of a murdered child! A child that was raped and buried alive!
Just what is the owner of that blog trying to say and do here? What is their REAL AGENDA?
Mark Lunsford is not an animated character on TV, or an entertainer for children. Mark is not a politician, or running for congress.
Before the terrible and tragic death of his child, he was just like anyone else. A regular person, and a father first.
After the horrible event, he became a victim as did his daughter and the rest of their family and friends.
Mark as a father first with his heartache and concern to push him, wants to be sure that what happened to his daughter does not have to happen to anyone else and their child most.
So he is doing what he can to help change that, to help save another child, to help to protect them. To make right of what went so very wrong.
Mark Lunsford is a father, and a regular person just like most all of us here.
There is no role that he needs to play to get the point across that children need better laws. Any human should know this, understand this and have the ability to comprehend it. Unfortunately a little girls life had to be lost to make such a law, to get people to notice!
Is there no compassion? Is there no sympathy? How cruel of a heart does a person need to have to attack the fathers and mothers of murdered children? What black soulless and heartless human being can say these things?
AND WHAT ABOUT ADAM WALSH?
Well, okay the man has a sex addiction.Does this make him a criminal?With all the good that Adam does, in helping to put away REAL criminals do we want to disown him over that?
Adult sex is not a crime. Rape, murder, and child molestation is!
Adam is none of those things, so use your brains people! THINK...
Here is the transcript to CNN where John Walsh is being interviewed by Larry King. In that interview you can see a discussion about John Walsh and his relationships with other women.
http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0307/15/lkl.00.html
Still, he is not a criminal. He is still doing positive, not negative deeds like the person at the blog above claims (as pictured in the screenshot below).
I HAVE ALSO FOUND A ARTICLE FROM AMERICAN CHRONICLE (written by Shirley Lowery) ABOUT HIS ADDICTION.
AND WHO IS SHIRLEY LOWERY? (Click On The Image Above Of An Article She Wrote) (UPDATE: THIS ARTICLE HAS SINCE BEEN REMOVED BY AMERICAN CHRONICHLE DUE TO THE FACT OF WHICH SHIRLEY SUPPORTS IS CLEARLY WRONG & LIES SHE PRETENDS ARE FACTS!)
http://www.wikisposure.com/Shirley_Lowery
Shirley Lowery is an angry RSO (Registered Sex Offender) activist and former CEO of a nonprofit corporation called SOSEN, and the current founder of the "new" SOSEN. She is the mother of a convicted sex offender. Her son, Anthony Craig Oliver, plead guilty to 3 counts of sexually assaulting his daughter and received a 20 year prison sentence for each count. He lost his appeal.
Lowery is best known for denying the traumatic effects of child sexual abuse and always blaming the victim for their abuse.
Shirley Lowery says, about Jessica Lundsford:
“Jessica was not tortured and her death comes across more as an assisted suicide than a murder. There were no drugs or alcohol in her system and only her wrists were bound. She had not strained to try and free her arms. She could have easily kicked through the plastic bags but she did not. There were no tears, rips or even stretch marks. It looks as if she stepped into the bags of her own accord, squatted down and waited for death. There was no hand stretching upward as if asking foe help.”

Who is behind SO Clear Media Productions, Inc.?(Copied And Pasted Straight From Thier website):
The people behind SO Clear Media Productions, Inc. are those citizens who are required to register as sex offenders, their families, and other American individuals and groups that are becoming aware of the sad consequences of poorly researched laws that have not solved the sex abuse problem but have created new victims (the families of registered sex offenders). Please see the BIO section for information on the SO Clear Media’s founder.
So Who Is The Founder?
Thomas Henry “Tom” Madison, a registered sex offender from the state of Oregon.
http://www.wikisposure.com/Tom_Madison
Convicted in 2000 of charges related to the sexual abuse of a 16 year old girl, he took a plea bargain and received five years probation for his offense. Part of his sentence is that he is required to register as a sex offender.
Portions Of A Letter From The Director(Thomas Madison)Of SOCLEAR:
Hello fellow Registered Sex Offenders (RSOs), activists, participants, and friends of liberty, freedom, a fair legal system, the US Constitution and human rights.
We intend to gain back the most basic of our lost constitutional, civil and human rights. These governmental legal violations of the Bill of Rights include: rights to due process, equal protection, avoiding double jeopardy, no ex-post facto laws, and the basic right of facing one’s accuser. All Americans are affected by these violations and are on the verge of losing habeas corpus at this current time.
The new vision will consist of activist-minded Registered Sex Offenders (and their family members) and others who are willing to take our struggle to the next higher level. For those of you who are truly RSO activists (thinkers, doers, organizers, and leaders), let us today take our urgent messages directly to those that declared war on our rights as citizens: Many of America’s politicians at all levels and the big ‘for-profit’ media corporations.
Thank you in advance for you involvement at a new level of RSO and RSO family rights involvement.
Sincerely,

News Director
Amanda Rogers
Phoenix resident Amanda Rogers, creator of the highly acclaimed site "Operation Awareness" , is a freelance journalist and Senior Staff Writer. She has been following and researching sex offender and child safety legislation for over 15 years.
So who is Amanda Rogers? Well her real name is Jan Kruska, and she is a level one registered sex offender from Arizona.
Before she was married she was arrested in 1992 at the age of 22 in Glendale, Arizona for sexual conduct with a minor (his age-15). Her maiden name at the time of arrest was Gustafson. See the court case here: http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CriminalCourtCases/archivecaseInfo.asp?caseNumber=CR1992-004222
That was 15 years ago. Although according to Jan, she didn't get invloved in fighting the sex registry until a couple years after her arrest. She says it was in the spring of 1994 after hearing a news story about a little girl from New Jersey named, Megan Kanka. So is Thomas Lying, or did Jan lie to Thomas? Iether way, Thomas is not accurate and has not done his homework on Jan. Remember he claims that, "She has been following and researching sex offender and child safety legislation for over 15 years". NO, the truth is that she has been a registered sex offender for over 15 years.
http://www.wikisposure.com/Jan_Kruska
See this image of this screen shot here, it is written by Amanda Rogers/Jan Kruska(Gustafson) from her website, at Operation Awareness.
Also notice how at that time (in the screenshot above written only a few weeks ago), Jan/Amanda was trying to hide who she REALLY was, thus more hiding her true agenda. When Amanda Rogers was speaking of this anonymous women named, "Jane Marie Doe" it appears that she was in actuality speaking of her very own self.
She also seemed to be making a point in comparing her crime to that of the man who raped and murdered Jessica Lunsford. Like as if she was saying that what she did was not so bad. Like comparing apples and oranges fruit is fruit, a sex crime is a sex crime. Just because the direct actions differed and one may be way more heinous than the other it is still perverted & despicable either way!
However Jan/Amanda seems not feel this way.
See this screenshot for Amanda's confession that she really is Jan Kruska!
Notice how Jan says in that screenshot above that she plead guilty to the crime she committed as if she did so right away. Like she is such a wonderful citizen? Well the link I provided from the Maricopa County Superior Court Of Arizona seems to differ that claim, doesn't it?
Then she goes on to say it was ONLY a misdemeanor. She said she did not try to lie her way out of it, and it appears that she may have originally plead NOT guilty.
Then she goes on to say that Bruce Howland (see down below for more details) the other defendant aside of her was charged with a class 4 felony of child abuse, but it appears that she may have been personally summoned to court for child abuse as well.
Then she says that people are invited to go to the court and check her records for themselves, and she provided us with the case number. I have provided that court info/link she spoke of for you as mentioned above.
Then she goes on and mentions that she had JUST turned 22 when she was arrested, as if that makes a BIG difference there!
And the old claim of "THAT'S NOT MY MYSPACE ACCOUNT!" It WAS her account, if you searched her name, Jan Kruska that account popped up. If you typed in her email address, that myspace account popped up.
Myspace sends EVERYONE a confirmation/activation email for every account that gets set up. In order for that account to be activated in anyway shape or form, a link has to be followed from that email address to myspace for confirmation.
In that email it also says that if the person received that email in error what they can do to solve it. I have personally seen that myspace account with my own eyes, and I checked on it for three days in a row before she finally deleted it. In those three days it had been logged into each day.
NOTE: CT1 CHILD ABUSE CL 4 FEL (B); CTS2,3 SEXUAL CONDUCT W/MINOR CL 6 FELONIES; DR92-9781 GPD/ DOC 020792, BETWEEN 122591 - 020792
Her name at the time of the arrest was Jan Gustafson (maiden Name). Again you can see her court info here:
http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/CriminalCourtCases/archivecaseInfo.asp?caseNumber=CR1992-004222
At first Jan may have plead not guilty
(6/11/1992 8:30 Original Arraignment Not Guilty)
Jan's criminal court record shows her case number is CR1992-004222-A.
The letter A at the end of that number should be followed for all of Jan's information, since there were two defendants.
The other defendant aside of Jan is BRUCE HOWLAND. His case number is the same as Jan's, however his ends with the letter B.
According to Jan, Bruce was the adopted father of the boy that Jan had sexual conduct with. Bruce was also I believe the boyfriend of Jan.
Jan claims that Bruce was an abusive alcoholic and that she cared for the boy very much. Well, I mean she was practically like his step mom right?
So Bruce would abuse her and the boy, which Jan claims made her and the boy even closer.
So how does Jan comfort a boy who is being abused by his father? She has sex with him!
It appears at that link I provided above that BOTH defendants, may have originally plead not guilty:
6/11/1992 8:30 Original Arraignment Not Guilty
Then it appears that they both went for a Not Guilty Plea Arraign On The Same Day:
6/11/1992 152 - ME: Not Guilty Plea Arraign - Party (A) 6/12/1992
6/11/1992 152 - ME: Not Guilty Plea Arraign - Party (B) 6/12/1992
Then one month afterwards looks like Jan decided to take the guilty plea bargain, changing it from not guilty to guilty:
7/10/1992 105 - ME: Plea Agreement/Change of Plea - Party (A)
7/10/1992 PAG - Plea Agreement - Party (A)
A "plea bargain" is a deal offered by a prosecutor as an incentive for a defendant to plead guilty. If every case in the justice system went to trial, the courts would be so overloaded that they would effectively be shut down. Plea bargaining allows the prosecutor to obtain guilty pleas in cases that might otherwise go to trial.
There are two types of plea bargain:
Charge Bargain
A "charge bargain" occurs when the prosecutor allows a defendant to "plead guilty to a lesser charge," or to only some of the charges that have been filed against him. For example, a defendant charged with burglary may be offered the opportunity to plead guilty to "attempted burglary." A defendant charged with Drunk Driving and Driving With License Suspended may be offered the opportunity to plead guilty to just the drunk driving charge.
Sentence Bargain
A "sentence bargain" occurs when a defendant is told in advance what his sentence will be if he pleads guilty. This can help a prosecutor obtain a conviction if, for example, a defendant is facing serious charges and is afraid of being hit with the "maximum" sentence. Typically, sentence bargains can only be granted if they are approved by the trial judge. Many jurisdictions severely limit sentence bargaining.
So what does Jan do, she considers herself to be a freelance journalist.
Amanda Rogers(Jan's "pen" name)is the alias used by Jan to discuss sex offender registries.
She can't use her real name since Jan is a registered sex offender, well she can but then who would trust her...right?
It appears that Jan hates the registry so much, that she wants to change the laws so that she does not have to be on one anymore.
Just like Thomas Madison of SOCLEAR, seems that they both feel and think this way.
They think and act as if they themselves are the victims, of course not the ones they sexually offended.
And according to Jan, the sex between her and her child victim was "consensual".
Well the boy's aunt didn't seem to agree with Jan's theory and had her arrested.
SOCLEAR is in collaboration with operation Awareness, another website dedicated to sex offenders.
And Jan is the owner and creator of Operation Awareness.
Now you have it, three scum bags with website's to help people who sexually offend other people including children!
And two of them are Registered Sex Offenders (RSO) themselves!
PLEASE VISIT THIS LINK! http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/2007/10/rest-of-story.html
JUST TRY AND DISPUTE THAT!
And this link too!
http://absolutezerounited.blogspot.com/2007/10/flawless-reasoning-no-more-victims-act.html
OMG PEOPLE ARE YOU FLIPPING SERIOUS?!
It isn't like he has any porn on there, there is nothing on there that is against myspace TOS (Terms Of Service)!
At least from what I have seen.
Okay so there was a picture of him flipping the bird, WHOOPTY FREAKING DO!
Okay what else, he owns a gun BIG WHOOPTY DOO again!
UPDATED THOUGHT (also noted in my comments):
Jan Kruska says that she is heavily armed and prepared to take action against those who seek to harm her or her family.
I really can't blame her for that, however doesn't she run around claiming that she is all about child safety and stuff? So if this lame attack can be pointed at Mark Lunsford, then shouldn't it also be pointed at Jan as well?
and the full screenshot where this statement by her was made can be found in this blog.
Okay what else, he is an ADULT SINGLE MALE with some pretty girls on his page, some are scantily clad but still not against myspace TOS (Except the two women showing their behinds off in underwear, that is against TOS. However those women are breaking myspace TOS, NOT Mark. Besides, when he added them they may not have even had those pictures up at the time).Okay, what else is there, UHHHH this picture is NOT from his profile page (referring to the second picture below), but from someone else's.
You can see at the top of this screenshot that this is from the profile of a 39 year old female from Virginia. And so what? It is a joke at strippers! Okay moving on...
Let's see what else can we find....well....nothing else? Okay then.
So what is the owner of this blog http://johnwalshournewgod.blogspot.com/ trying to get at?
That Mark Lunsford is supposed to be a role model for children? The stupidity!
Mark Lunsford is a father of a murdered child! A child that was raped and buried alive!
Just what is the owner of that blog trying to say and do here? What is their REAL AGENDA?
Mark Lunsford is not an animated character on TV, or an entertainer for children. Mark is not a politician, or running for congress.
Before the terrible and tragic death of his child, he was just like anyone else. A regular person, and a father first.
After the horrible event, he became a victim as did his daughter and the rest of their family and friends.
Mark as a father first with his heartache and concern to push him, wants to be sure that what happened to his daughter does not have to happen to anyone else and their child most.
So he is doing what he can to help change that, to help save another child, to help to protect them. To make right of what went so very wrong.
Mark Lunsford is a father, and a regular person just like most all of us here.
There is no role that he needs to play to get the point across that children need better laws. Any human should know this, understand this and have the ability to comprehend it. Unfortunately a little girls life had to be lost to make such a law, to get people to notice!
Is there no compassion? Is there no sympathy? How cruel of a heart does a person need to have to attack the fathers and mothers of murdered children? What black soulless and heartless human being can say these things?
AND WHAT ABOUT ADAM WALSH?
Well, okay the man has a sex addiction.Does this make him a criminal?With all the good that Adam does, in helping to put away REAL criminals do we want to disown him over that?
Adult sex is not a crime. Rape, murder, and child molestation is!
Adam is none of those things, so use your brains people! THINK...

Two of them are pretending to be someone else, and one is pretending to be me.
I would NEVER say these things. The other is pretending to be Absolute Zero, who would also NEVER say these things!
The third is from someone who identifies themselves as , "Human Rights". Clearly they have an identity issue! Also they are spreading lies!
& aside of the obvious that that they are all about Mark Lunsford and Adam Walsh, they were also all created on the same date (October 5th) in the AM hours! HMMM...

& aside of the obvious that that they are all about Mark Lunsford and Adam Walsh, they were also all created on the same date (October 5th) in the AM hours! HMMM...

LEGAL DEFINITION OF CHILD, MINOR, STATUTORY RAPE, AND SEXUAL CONDUCT WITH A MINOR
13-1405. Sexual conduct with a minor; classifications
A. A person commits sexual conduct with a minor by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under eighteen years of age.
B. Sexual conduct with a minor who is under fifteen years of age is a class 2 felony and is punishable pursuant to section 13-604.01. Sexual conduct with a minor who is at least fifteen years of age is a class 6 felony. Sexual conduct with a minor who is at least fifteen years of age is a class 2 felony if the person is the minor's parent, stepparent, adoptive parent, legal guardian or foster parent and the convicted person is not eligible for suspension of sentence, probation, pardon or release from confinement on any basis except as specifically authorized by section 31-233, subsection A or B until the sentence imposed has been served or commuted.
Sexual Conduct with a Minor - ARS §13-1405 - “A person commits sexual conduct with a minor by intentionally or knowingly engaging in sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact with any person who is under eighteen years of age." (STATE OF ARIZONA)
MINOR:
In the United States as of 1995, minor is legally defined as a person under eighteen. However, not all minors are considered "juveniles" in terms of criminal responsibility.In eleven states, including Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas, a "juvenile" is legally defined as a person under seventeen. In three states, Connecticut, New York, and North Carolina, "juvenile" refers to a person under sixteen. In other states a juvenile is legally defined as a person under eighteen.
In addition, the age of consent for sexual activity is often lower than the age of majority
CHILD:
The legal definition of "child" is interchangeable with minor.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child defines a child as "every human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier".
In a New York court ruling in 2006 on the eviction of a pregnant woman, the court declared that her child was equally protected under the law although the eviction notice was served before the child was born
STATUTORY RAPE:
Statutory rape (sometimes called "rape of a child", "corruption of a minor", "carnal knowledge of a minor" and so on) is the crime of sex with a minor under the age of consent (AOC), the age at which individuals are considered competent to give consent to sexual conduct. Statutory rape differs from other types of rape in that overt force or threat need not be present. By law (statute), any such sexual activity is assumed to be coercive since the minor is considered by law to be incapable of giving consent to the acts.
Many jurisdictions have multiple age determiners for AOC, as well as a second "statutory rape age boundary". For instance, an adult engaging in sexual intercourse in a particular jurisdiction with an individual under the age of 13 may be charged with a full statutory rape charge (a charge fully equivalent in punishment and severity to rape) whereas intercourse with an individual between the ages of 13–16 may be a significantly lesser charge (such as "unlawful sexual conduct with a minor" or "criminal sexual conduct with a minor"), depending on the jurisdiction, the age difference between the participants, and other factors. Criminal sanctions for violations of the age of consent that are not statutory rape may range from a minor misdemeanor to a high-level felony.
Female-male statutory rape
In the past, sex involving an adult female and an underage male was often ignored by the law, presumably because it was not perceived a traumatic or negative experience for teenage boys. However, in recent years, social perceptions have shifted, particularly when the adult female is in a position of responsibility, and there have now been a number of high profile cases (Mary Kay Letourneau, Debra Lafave, Pamela Rogers Turner, Pamela Smart) where adult females have been prosecuted for participating in sexual relationships with younger males. These cases mentioned have all involved adult female teachers and young teenage male students. Under English and Welsh law such cases would be viewed as indecent assault and some cases have been prosecuted.

http://www.jmlfoundation.org/
The Jessica Marie Lunsford Foundation has been established to help children in crisis. Our children are our last hope in this world. There is an evil that preys on the innocence of these precious souls and the Jessica Marie Lunsford Foundation is a result of one man's struggle with this evil which has claimed his daughter's life. We cannot get rid of this evil...but we can contain it, so that our children can be free.

If you want the Jessica Lunsford Act passed in your state, use this as a guideline to create a petition.
Get everyone you can involved: local media, business, friends, & family etc.
Call your Senators, Governor and make as much noise as you can.
Set a date for the petition drive to end but give enough time to get the signatures you need.
When your drive is over make an appointment to deliver them to your Governor.
Be prepared to rally at your capitol if needed.
Remember children do not have a vote-- we have to stop the terrorism on our children.
Click on the state you live in on Bill O'Reilly's map above and write your governor for him to get behind this legislation!
