COWARDS - empoyees must speak out

[cherish wisdom]

I just read the thread regarding the timid employee of Majestic Ranch who wished to remain annonymous.  He witnessed child abuse and animal abuse and apparently was too cowardly to put an end to it by reporting it to the authorities.  
Here's what he/she wrote:

"These students are supposed to be learning how to take care of a ranch and care for animals right? Wrong. They very rarely have any contact with animals on the ranch, ALL of which are in very poor condition. The owner of the ranch, Dan Peart has been known to shoot dogs because the students pet them. One of my students told me one day that while working with Dan he witnessed him (dan) drag a live llama on the ground behind a horse at a full run for quite a distance. after he stopped, he tied the wounded animal to a fence and left it, telling the boys,"I don't care if you kill that damn ting" I have heard stories from other students of dan stopping his truck, (with boys inside) pulling a rifle from behind his seat to shoot deer and leave their bodies where they lay. Is this how we should teach children to care for animals?"

Is this what you should allow to happen to children and animals MORON?

This is disgusting. How can anyone with an once of humanity allow this to continue without trying to stop it.  Guess what? It is criminal for an employee who works in a facility that treats children to look the other way when the kids are abused. These employees have a legal duty under law to report this abuse to the authorities.  It's infuriating to many who have had loved ones abused in these programs.  
To the annoymous poster:
Why don't you do something to end the torture and abuse of children in these programs?  These places litterally get away with murder as a result of people like you.......YOU MAKE ME SICK  

All our liberties are due to men who, when their conscience has compelled them, have broken the laws of the land.

Well now, keep in mind who he is coming up against. He (or she) is understandably nervous about trying to speak out and not be litagated into oblivian.
He (or she) has taken the first timid steps and does say they are trying to get it stoped.
You don't know what phone calls and letters might have been written.
All this is, is an attempt to tell people the alligations made by others are true. It is on the internet; and I am sure this Public coming forward is very stressful.
Cut 'em some slack.
Lets hope they are for real and talking to the people who need to hear it.

ONE CAN NOT BE SUED FOR REPORTING CHILD ABUSE OR ANIMAL ABUSE. In fact the authorities must not disclose the sourse of information in most cases. There are whistle blower laws in place to protect those who disclose improprieties.  

Our Constitution is in actual operation; everything appears to promise that it will last; but in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.

But Cherish - thats my point.

We don't know this person hasn't done exactly that.
You can't make that judgement from the fact they are not ready to put their name up on the net.
In fact, they say they are trying to get something done.
We can only hope whoever they are, they are listened to.
