My name is IZZY HAMMOND and I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my page. My book was published on the 14th of May this year.When I wrote my memoir about the abuse I'd suffered as a child it tore me apart but I hoped that by allowing it to be published it would help others who have found or will find themselves in a similar situation. I insisted that names and geographical locations were changed to protect the privacy of my children and grandchildren but now find that national newspapers are questioning my story and doubting it's authenticity. I am desperately hurt and thought I would use myspace as a way of responding to the publishing process. To many my story may just be another 'misery memoir', to me and my family it is all too real. The support I have recieved so far is much appreciated and if you chose to buy the book I hope that you take something positive from it."Someone to Watch over me", went straight into the top 10 and stayed there for 8 weeks the rights to publish have now been bought and it will be released in Denmark next year. It is also to be released in USA and Canada in the spring 2008It is currantly on sale in AustraliaWhen will we take a stand!!!More than 25 per cent of all rapes recorded by the police are committed against children under 16 years of age.One per cent of children experienced sexual abuse by a parent or carer and another three per cent by another relative during childhood. Eleven per cent of children experience sexual abuse by people known but unrelated to them. Five per cent of children experience sexual abuse by an adult stranger or someone they have just met.Three-quarters of sexually abused children do not tell anyone about the abuse at the time, and around a third still have not told anyone about their experience(s) by early adulthood.Is it not time to bring real justice to this slaughter of innocence?Your comments on this page would be greatly appreciated.YOU CAN PURCHASE MY BOOK FROM ANY GOOD BOOK STORE, BOARDERS, WATERSTONES W H SMITH OR BUY ON LINE AT WWW,AMAZON.COM
