Opinion piece: Outside interests shouldn’t prevent protecting children

Letter to the editor, published in The News Journal, May 11, 2007

The reactionary group TFP has financed a full-page ad of disingenuous legal arguments and outright lies in The News Journal. Why is this radical group of outsiders telling Delaware’s Legislature to protect child molesters rather than children?

By passing the Child Victims Act, S.B. 29, Delaware will become the most inhospitable state for sexual predators. Let’s not let this special-interest lobby get in the way of this critical effort to expose predators and those who enabled sexual abuse. Delaware’s children deserve better than that.
