  WHAT IS ABUSE?

  by Luke Teixeira 08-19-2012
    Have been keeping up with the Sandusky tragedy.  And something occurred to me, what is abuse?  I mean, I know what abuse is, but I wonder does everyone else.  To most of us, abuse is something like what is going on with Sandusky, laced with overt violence and abuse of everythi...

  The Right Path

  by Luke Teixeira 05-26-2012
  I have talked about being reasonable and even understanding when it comes to dealing with sex offenders as I believe that this is necessary to start on the path to eliminating this crime.  Right now all that we do with our sex offender laws is react to a situation that has already happened.&nbs...

  Cursing a Good Man

  by Luke Teixeira 05-26-2012
  Am going to talk about something different today.  Right now I am taking an American Literature class (1985-present).  In this class we have begun by talking about authors like Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher-Stowe and how their books impacted our society.  I want to focus on the story...

  The Immediate Reactions

  by Luke Teixeira 03-20-2012
  Your immediate reactions following the knowledge that your child has been sexually abused can have consequences that affect the long-term healing of your child. When we learn something like this, our initial reaction will normally be one that is filled with disbelief and shock and emotion. These are...

  Blameless

  by Luke Teixeira 01-10-2012
  The first thing that I heard when I was contacted by my victim (one of my child) was that she was having nightmares for the last ten years because she thought that I hated her and would come to get her for coming forward because I was abusing her.  Since that time, I have learned that children ...

  Thought a lot about this entry and what I wanted to say.  In the last couple of months or so the issue of the sexual abuse of children has come to the fore.  Read at least 2 or 3 articles a week in the papers on sexual abuse or pedophilia.  Mostly good info.  And the idea of open...

  RELAPSE

  by Luke Teixeira 12-08-2011
  As someone who has committed a six offense, I have a duty to do what it takes to insure that I never harm anyone ever again.  They say that someone who offends sexually can never be cured much in the same way as a drug addict.  Now I believe that a cure means finding the means to ensure th...

  Justice Completed

  by Luke Teixeira 09-23-2011
  What does a victim require to feel that justice is served? That is a question that everyone feels they have the answer too. But just like offenders, victims are a homogeneous group and have different needs when it comes to the completion of justice. The completion of justice is what it takes to allo...

  MY ANGEL

  by Luke Teixeira 09-22-2011
  Sorry it took me so long to come back (low funds). : P want to say one more thing about my faith before I get back into the intent of my blog. Honestly, I would probably have not found God had I not come to prison. I think that you can see that my life was not a Godly one nor one that even sought Go...

  GOD

  by Luke Teixeira 07-22-2011
    Have wanted to broach this subject with you since the beginning, as it is the primary reason that I am the man that I’m becoming today. But in some ways it is harder than telling you about my crime. I guess it is a matter of credibility. I mean I am a convicted felon and serving a life...
