my 14 year old niece came to visit us this week.
she's being raised by her grandparents (ex-jws) and birth mother (ex-jw).
Well, she's doing better than what I feared. Too bad about bouncing from one bad boy to another. Instead of giving advice, maybe just drop a comment here and there. As in, "Your boyfriends all seem to be the same type. I wonder what would happen if you picked a different kind of boyfriend?"
There are moms and tots programs where she might be exposed to new information, build up her self-esteem a little.

Nazi experiments on prisoners also provided valuable and unique data for future researchers, largely because such experiments and treatments are unethical. Any treatment that results in the death or deformity of the patient is unethical.

I don't see anyone lining up to repeat the Nazi example.
her life embodied how the human spirit can rise from crushing conditions to mentor, role model and teacher.. she went mute for 5 years after being raped at the age of 9. in that time she found her inner spirit to write and speak for others.. her life course went from working in brothels to teaching in universites.
from broken home to addressing the nation at william clinton's inaugeration.. her poems touched millions of lives.
