I talked to the Detective today and it was very enlightening.
He is willing to help us help the children by giving us information that will educate us of the process. We know what abuse is, but not all levels and kinds, but we we want to stop it, but we don't know how to stop it… who to report, how to report or what to report. What is applicable, what is not, what is too old etc.
His focus is the victims and wants all to know that no matter if you want to report anonymously or not, he welcomes your story.
He and I both feel that the beginning of the healing process is to speak out, no matter how long ago your abuse happened, it will break the bond of silence. He needs your help to help the children.
His job is to separate the abusers from the children and in order to do this he must have courageous victims willing to share their experiences.
What I believe most victims feel is that they will be met with the same kinds of disbelief or non-action that they have met thus far. However, talking to him showed me that they listen and not only listen but they believe in you.
In just telling your story you will feel so much better.
Tom Rosemurgy is willing to take your calls, to answer your emails or receive your letters.
What I want most is for you who have been abused to have access to someone who will hear you.
trosemurgy@houghtonsheriff.com Is his email address.
Or you can write him at,
403 Houghton Ave.
Houghton MI 49931
You don’t’ have to leave your name, but please leave your story. You have been carrying it too long; it is time to let it down, to hand it over to someone who can carry it for you.
Your power is regained in your voice.
I am here and will help anyone who has a story to tell.
The truth needs to come forth, for while it is kept quiet there are children in danger.
I know our voices will make a difference in the life of some child.
I send you courage and strength…I cheer you on as you wrestle with the decision to speak now or remain silent, and the choice is yours to decide, always.
