Message from Our Team...
Susan Suafoa-Dinino (President/Founder)

In the year 2000, I was faced with a very real issue in which I was
unfamiliar...the horrifying truth & reality of Child Sexual Abuse. As
with most people, I was naïve & uneducated on this topic. So I
began to research this horrific crime. But what I found was so
disturbing that I have never felt so helpless. Since that time, I have
been trying to figure out a way to help children who are Sexually
Abused. Every single day across America, countless numbers of
children are sexually violated. And there are so many obstacles to
overcome in order to help just one child, much less the multitudes of
Sexually Abused children. The task seemed impossible once I read
the statistics and learned about the failures of the systems in place
that are supposed to protect children. The truth is that we live in a
fallen world in which many children are robbed of their innocence
by Sexual Predators. And they prey on children of all ages. As a Mother of 2 wonderful sons, it is
my belief that children should be loved and cherished, but more often than you or I would like to
believe, they are molested and raped. This sickens me. My heart aches for these hurting
children.
Most of the children who are Sexually Abused will never tell anyone. And the majority of children
who do disclose are not being believed and/or protected by “the system”. According to MASA
(Mothers Against Sexual Abuse), “only 25% of Child Sexual Abuse cases are ever reported; 5% of
those will never go to court; 50% of those children will be returned to the alleged abuser.” You do
the math. I have felt for a long time that I have to do something… that I must speak up for these
most innocent of victims… Children. But I have also felt that there was no way I could make a
difference. Over time, I’ve come to realize that I can no longer focus on what I cannot change &
began to focus on what can be done. I believe whole heartedly that we can help “one child at a
time” by “SpeakingOut”. We can make a difference! It’s time to “Speak up for those who cannot
speak for themselves...” (Proverbs 31:8).
The way I see it…its time to uncover this hidden crime. The safety of children… all children
depends on it. By SpeakingOut against Child Sexual Abuse, we can show the multitudes of
hurting children across America that someone does care, thus encouraging children to “tell” on
their abuser. In addition, we can begin to take a more proactive approach to this crime by aiding in
the prevention of it… stopping it before a child is violated. And last but not least, we, as a society,
will send a message to all who prey on innocent children that we will no longer sit idly by while they
harm unsuspecting, innocent children. We will reveal not only what they do to children, but how
they silence them.
I have found that the things that are most important in life require a lot of time, hard work,
endurance, sacrifice and dedication. I am committed to do everything I can to help children by
SpeakingOut against Child Sexual Abuse. But I cannot do it alone. I need your help. These
children need your help!
I hope & pray that you will find it in your heart to support this Mission. We accept one-time and
monthly donations. Please keep in mind that each “statistic” represents a real child. With your
help, SpeakingOut against Child Sexual Abuse, Inc. will continue working vigorously to Aid in the
Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse in America.

"Victims of childhood sexual abuse live in deafening silence. Every
person who speaks out helps create a safer atmosphere for survivors
to come forward. When educators teach, courageous victims share
their stories and people respond, society moves closer to ending
abuse. Can you help SpeakingOut against Child Sexual Abuse keep
children safe?"

"Before I met Susan Suafoa-Dinino, I had no idea the numbers
of children being subjected to sexual abuse were so out of
control... and growing higher every year. I think it has been kept
behind closed doors far too long and I am looking forward to
helping SpeakingOut against Child Sexual Abuse, Inc. make
people more aware of this most despicable crime against our
future leaders! With your help, we can get it out in the open and
break the cycle."

"I think sometimes child sexual abuse is the 'elephant in the
room'. We all know it's there, but everyone avoids talking about
it. Everyone but Susan Suafoa-Dinino, founder of SpeakingOut
against Child Sexual Abuse, Inc. Her personal drive and
determination for this crusade is nothing like I have ever seen
before. She totally throws herself into this cause, trying to bring
child sexual abuse out from the darkness and into the light. No
child should ever have to deal with the 'elephant in the room'
(child sexual abuse), and with the help of Susan and
SpeakingOut, I hope and pray that they never will."
