The Report IT Campaign is a nationwide state-to-state rally to Report sexual violence and abuse on the same day! It was created to raise awareness on the vast under-reporting of sexual assault including rape, incest, and abuse.
We will all Report IT on the same day - April 29, 2008 hailed Angela Shelton Day. People nationwide will show up at their local county courthouses on April 29th! Together we will break the silence and the cycle!
You can fill out the online form anytime on or before April 29th. Thank you! This IS NOT an official police report!
WHO: Angela Shelton and Wendy Murphy joined PAVE’s Executive Director Angela Rose for this groundbreaking effort. In July 2007, PAVE: PROMOTING AWARENESS, VICTIM EMPOWERMENT organized the emergency national protest dubbed “Call it RAPE” in response to the silencing of rape victims in court. The protest was covered by CNN, TODAY SHOW and TIME. For more information on the campaign organizers, please visit our website.
WHAT: The Report IT on Angela Shelton Day Campaign features an anonymous online reporting system to gather statistics on the occurrences of sex crimes. On April 29, 2008 hailed Angela Shelton Day, protests will be organized in every state to showcase solidarity of the movement to end sexual violence as well as a call to action for the system to stop re-victimizing survivors.
WHY: It has been shown that over 80% over sexual assaults go unreported. Moreover, sexual assault survivors across the country are often re-victimized upon reporting the crime to the authorities. It is time for all victims to REPORT IT!
WHEN: The Report IT campaign officially launched on February 19, 2008 at a nationwide Victim's Rights Rally.
A Personal letter from Edward Blackoff, Director of the multi-award winning documentary “INCEST A FAMILY TRAGEDY”.
Every day thousands of children suffer sexual abuse by family members and trusted friends. Little if anything is being done to prevent this terrible crime. It is the best kept secret in the world. Lawmakers refuse to take action. Enforcement authorities are stymied and solutions are ignored. What is needed is a campaign to bring this heinous behavior into the open. INCEST A FAMILY TRAGEDY is the best way to do this and I need your help to save our children. My film has undisguised molesters and survivors opening telling us what happened and how it was accomplished. Experts offer information on what works, what doesn’t work and what must be done if we are to put a stop to the rape of the kids. There is hope, it can be stopped.
I am starting a grass roots movement to spread the information. The strategy is simple. Become a host. Visit www. ShazzamFilms. com and order your personal DVD copy of the film. Invite 5-10 people to your home and watch the film. Afterwards hold a discussion about what you’ve viewed and urge everyone to get their own copy and do the same. Suggested discussion topics are included. All profits go to the Stop Incest Foundation which funds children’s advocates and filmmakers like myself who want to make a difference. If we chip away at this code of silence things will change and children will be safer. If you can not afford to buy the DVD, we will provide a free host copy.
Unfortunately my experience shows we can’t count on our politicians or our lawmakers. After all, children neither vote nor do they have control of their money and that adds up to being powerless. Its up to us to give their pain and violation a voice so that we can effect change through Community Action.
Sales of INCEST A FAMILY TRAGEDY will also enable me to start filming my next film, an in-depth study of 3 survivors of incest appearing on camera with
Tarrant County College Student Ambassadors Club hosted the ReportIT Campaign on campus today. It was a HUGE success! A few students thought that Angela Shelton would be on campus, I was eager to remind them that this was a National Rally and that she WAS with us. just not geographically!

Thank you for your friendship and support! Dateline NBC has produced a documentary about Barbara's murder and the disturbing circumstances which followed. While the documentary focuses on Barbara's case, there are many lessons we can all learn, by undestanding the past missteps taken by authorites, causing a delay in justice for nearly 27 years. What did and did not happen in Barbara's case is not unique to Barbara, as there are countless other families who are waiting for justice, as well.
We hope you will watch the documentary when it airs, which is expected to be very soon. We will post the air date in Barbara's blog and send out bulletins when we get a copy of the NBC Press Release.
God Bless you,
THE WINN FAMILY
If you haven't already, and if you have a moment, please stop by to sign Barbara's guestbook!
