fwd from L Moss Sharman Abused Boy Spurs Advocate to Sue State By Stacey Stowe 12/19/03 Hartford "Connecticut's child advocate, in the first lawsuit she has filed since being appointed in 2000, sued the state's child welfare agency this week, saying it mishandled a boy who was sexually abused as a young child and spent a third of his life shuttled between programs that never helped him. The advocate, Jeanne Milstein, sued the beleaguered State Department of Children and Families for endangering the boy's welfare by failing to get him proper treatment, despite two years of recommendations. The boy, now 17, known in court records as Boy Doe, became a ward of the state in 1996. His history included ritualized sexual and physical abuse by his mother's boyfriends, including being shackled and locked in a basement, his head covered by a sheet, before he was 8 years old....He did not receive treatment for psychological disorders, including post-traumatic stress and traits of antisocial and borderline personality disorder." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/12/19/nyregion/19CHIL.html?ex=1072414800&en=e454683765e3abb3&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE
Finding Courage to Speak: Women's Survival of Child Abuse by Paige Alisen (Northeastern University Press - www.nupress.neu.edu - 617-373-5480) - "Haunted by their horrific pasts and suffering in silence, girls traumatized by severe child abuse often endure debilitating medical ailments and serious psychiatric problems well into adulthood. They withstand clinical depression, anorexia, post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, and one of the most extreme conditions, dissociative identity disorder (DID), the development of multiple personalities. Paige Alisen, herself diagnosed with DID as a result of repeated sexual, ritual, and psychological abuse, skillfully blends her own painful experiences with the powerful testimonies of other survivors, to present a disturbing yet inspiring account of childhood trauma and its long-term consequences for women's mental and physical well-being." http://psychcentral.com/resources/detailed/3088.html
>From the book "People who develop alter personalities have had extreme, tortuous childhoods. Ninety-eight percent of the individuals diagnosed with DID have documented histories of "repetitive, overwhelming, and often life-threatening trauma at a sensitive developmental stage of childhood (usually before the age of 9)." "Sixty-eight percent of those diagnosed with DID have histories of severe childhood incest." p. 9
