HANDS OFF!
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
Our Uncle Vinnie is a disgusting human being. On two occasions when we’ve had family parties Uncle Vinnie’s had had his hands are everywhere they shouldn’t be, including my friends.
My brother and sister don’t want to hurt my parents but we don’t want to have overnights with our cousins anymore. My parents always push us to visit them because they think we need family support. What????????
Should we just hit him over the head next time he tries something?

Dear Mary Jo, Danny and Nancy:
Don’t hit Uncle Vinnie or anyone over the head unless it’s to protect yourself or anyone from danger.
Tell your parents the truth.
Protecting you is your parent’s most important responsibility, but you need to be smart, too.
Tell your parents the truth about Uncle Vinnie. By doing this, you may be protecting another innocent helpless child from this predator.
No family member is entitled to a pardon for abusing any child or person. They don’t get one.
Tell your parents everything. It is the right thing to do.
Mrs. Figgins
