Some of us have called Umbertoecho a hero for testifying before ARC about her own sexual abuse but she says she's no hero.

Umberto, you are a hero to us. You are a person who feels ordinary but is doing extraordinary things. You have spoken out when the pressure is to keep quiet. You are protecting youngsters that will never know what you have done. Yes, you are a hero!
For those who don't know Umbertoecho or the bravery she is capable of take a moment to read this account of what it took to save a life. It is a fierce account that is both angry and tender. One of the most compelling posts I have ever read on this forum.
Out of respect I am directing you to her post.
