Voter supports May after family child sex abuse case

Letter to the editor 

I am writing to express our support for Mike May for Commonwealth Attorney.

I believe it is time for Prince William to change leadership and move forward. In the past two years we have had the unfortunate need to deal with Paul Ebert’s office. The experience was extremely upsetting to the children (victims) and my entire family for the lack of support for them and us during this horrible time.

In order for victims to receive victims assistance there have to be charges pressed on the abuser. We have fought for going on two years with no answers as to why this abuse is not considered enough for prosecution and requested information as to why the one case that was charged was not processed correctly and the abuser walked out a free woman due to a technicality.

The entire case felt like a comedy of errors including the warrants for the abuser’s arrest being posted to the victim’s front door. We fought for six months to get charges pressed and it took another two for the arrest warrants to get to the proper location.

All the while the children are being harassed in multiple Medias because they felt no need to issue a protective order for a minor child who was sexually assaulted. I still have no words for the disrespect and just plain horrible treatment of this child at the hands of Ebert’s office.

We continue to request answers, request an phone call from Ebert himself as to why the other child is not worthy of facing their abuser, why these children had to get unplugged from everything in order for us to protect them, and most of all how do I explain to these kids that police are on their side when they feel betrayed by the system that was supposed to protect them.

The abuser still lives in this area and worked in a private daycare. We inquired to the county and since they were not convicted and the other charges have not been filed we are not able to stop this issue. Yet another failure to the children of Woodbridge.

It is time for a change, time to elect someone who has a fresh pair of eyes and is willing to listen to our concerns and protect our children. Our children are our future and this kind of law enforcement is leaving our children vulnerable to abusers and allowing the abusers to walk the street. Our family will be voting for change. I hope you all do too.
