How to Get Away with Raping a Child

It’s easy in some states–just marry the child.  Child marriage is legal in all states, leaving an “out” for someone caught abusing a child. Next week, Florida will possibly be the first state to ban this practice.  It’s about time we stop this crime against American children and close the loopholes that some lawmakers want to keep open.

Go to America’s child marriage cover up to read more and sign a petition to ban child marriage in Florida.  It may not be your state, but the ban has to start somewhere, and politicians respond to being put into the national spotlight.  Another thing you can do is to contact your own state’s representatives and demand that they introduce legislation to enact such a ban.

For the sake of the children.
