Janet
Boeldt is a retired grandmother who lives in Indianapolis. A few years
ago, she was enjoying a vacation with her husband when she learned that
her fourteen-year-old grandson had been arrested as a child molester.
The news was devastating, and Janet found herself drawn into a battle
that has since consumed much of her time and energy. She quickly
learned that children as young as age six are being arrested as sex
offenders. These children are doing the same type of things that
previous generations did. They were disciplined by their parents and
hopefully learned their lesson. Today, kids and their families enter
into the juvenile court system to begin a seemingly endless and
excruciating journey. Although Janet's grandson is now free of the
system, she continues to work to bring about changes in the law so that
other families will not have to go through this ordeal. Janet is an
active member of FACES (Families And Children Exploited Sexually) and
