| 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 can be reached at tinfoot@comcast.net. |
