Founding Statement
Shattered Silence, Exposing the Shadows:
Leading by example in a world where victims of crime are often voiceless, I refuse to remain silent even in the face of unimaginable odds. As an individual born into the tangled web of organized crime I am constantly subjected to the trauma of being targeted for retaliation by my birth father (who is my convicted childhood registered sex offender) and his family members, I have continued to take a stand against my oppressors at all costs.
Through courage, determination, and the innovative creation of a news site, I rise—not only from the sadistic rule of my predators, but for my own freedom from my oppressors, this is how I rise for myself and others who are facing similar forms of systemic injustices.
The Cycle of Violence: Born into Organized Crime
For many, the world of organized crime seems like a distant issue, a thing of movies or sensational headlines; but for some of us, it is an undeniable reality—one we are born into and cannot escape, a nightmare we can never wake from. My early life was shaped by my family's involvement in illicit activities including incest, narcotics and pedophilia. Born into a world where violence, corruption, abuse, crime and secrecy ruled, I had little chance of avoiding the cycle of crime that has gripped my life from the start in a family riddled with incest and child abuse.
Organized crime leaves lasting scars on individuals who grow up in a constant state of fear, manipulation, and abuse. My situation is exacerbated by the constant presence of my registered sex offender’s family invading my life— those whose actions have perpetuated my suffering, have made me vulnerable to harassment, intimidation, “handling”, exploitation and gang-stalking.
A Victim's Stand Against Organized Crime, Stalking, Police Failure, and Oppression In A Systemic Struggle for Justice
A Predator in the Shadows:
The Registered Sex Offender
The issue of registered sex offenders and the way society deals with them is a complex one. While the aim of registration laws is to protect the public, the reality is that many of us who are survivors of these sex crimes find ourselves thrust into a world of fear and surveillance long after the offender has been convicted, one where we are dismissed. This is the case for me as a crime victim, who, despite being far removed from my registered offender and his family, have become a constant target for abuse by my registered sex offender and his family, in addition to their recruits.
Stalking, a crime often linked with obsessive behavior, power dynamics, and control, took root in my life. My registered sex offender and his family, either due to his personal vendetta or their ongoing obsession, began to stalk me relentlessly. With my registered sex offender and his family members (in addition to their bandwagoning recruits), this harassment isn't just physical; it is psychological, invasive, and emotionally draining; moreover with his family members aiding and invading it seems as though there is no escape, no place safe from my registered sex offender and his relentless family members who will stop at nothing to invade my privacy and terrorize every aspect of my life to this day.
The Stifling Weight of Oppression
As the stalking has been allowed to grow more intense, my life has continued to spiral out of control forcing me to live a life in hiding under constant threat. The combined weight of being born into organized crime, being relentlessly stalked by my known registered sex offender and his cousins while being targeted for harassment has created a sense of suffocation I cannot liberate myself from. The institutions meant to protect me—law enforcement, victim service providers, legal systems, and the government—seem either ill-equipped or indifferent to my plight. Too often, victims like me are dismissed or ignored leaving our experiences untold and us unprotected. Did you know that registered sex offenders are strictly prohibited from contacting their victims? Not mine, police say it is completely legal and acceptable for my registered sex offender to continue to harass me, when law enforcement was shown text messages from my registered sex offender they refused to take my report and wrongfully offered me mental health services, hence police continue to punish me for attempting to tell on my already convicted predator as they fail to uphold their obligations to protect me as the vulnerable person.
As I navigate this overwhelming journey, I have sought help from victim service providers, believing they would offer the support and protection I so desperately need and deserve, but tragically, my trust in these institutions was shattered when I discovered that they had not only failed to safeguard my privacy but had also directly facilitated my stalkers access to my personal information. Through their negligence, sensitive details of my case were leaked, allowing my abuser to track my movements and further escalate the harassment. This breach of trust was not just a betrayal—it was a dangerous violation of my safety and basic human rights. Despite the profound harm caused, these organizations refused to take accountability for their actions and inactions, instead these corrupt organizations continue deflecting responsibility and dismissing my concerns. In a world where victims should feel protected, I am instead left to fend for myself (once again), further deepening my sense of isolation and betrayal. The failure of victim service providers to uphold even the most basic standards of confidentiality and care
compounded the trauma I was already enduring, leaving me to question the very systems meant to help me heal and feel safe, as I live with neither.
Police Failure to Take Action:
A Systemic Breakdown
Despite my repeated pleas for help as the victim, law enforcement agencies have consistently failed to take any action. In cases of harassment, stalking, gang-stalking and organized crime, police are often overwhelmed or ill-equipped to address the complex, multifaceted nature of these crimes; however, for me, the repeated failure is not due to a lack of understanding, but rather is caused by a gross negligence and obstruction of justice. Furthermore in my case there appears to be a conflict of interest due to who my registered sex offender (father) is and due to who his cousins are. My reports of harassment, intimidation, and ongoing threats have been endlessly met with bureaucratic indifference, leaving me not only left to navigate the system on my own, but even worse have left me completely exposed and vulnerable for further exploitation and punishment by my stalkers for even attempting to report their crimes.
The failure of police to take my situation seriously has been compounded by law enforcement’s inability to treat me with the dignity victims deserve and their complete disregard for my safety as they wrongfully dismiss the depth of the threats I am constantly faced with. Moreover the failure of law enforcement, in my case, is due to a conflict of interests caused by the influence of my predators and their political public status. Stalking, particularly when perpetrated by someone with a criminal background, is not always immediately recognized for the dangerous, escalating behavior it is. In my case, my (the victim's) repeated reports regarding my registered sex offender, his cousins and their affiliates targeting me for harassment were completely ignored and dismissed. Rather than treating the situation with the urgency it required, law enforcement agencies failed to link the offender's actions to a larger pattern of harassment and criminal activity, thus missing vital opportunities to intervene before the situation escalated further as it has, instead law enforcement has left me to the control of the very perpetrators I attempted to report.
As my experiences as a crime-victim illustrate, this lack of action is only a part of a larger systemic issue within law enforcement. Police departments may not have the specialized training or resources necessary to address stalking cases, particularly when those cases intersect with organized crime or involve individuals with prior convictions. In many cases, victims of stalking find themselves repeatedly telling their stories to different officers, only to be told that their cases are "too complicated" or "low-priority." This lack of accountability and follow-through fosters an environment where perpetrators feel emboldened, knowing that law enforcement will not respond effectively; as is with my case, but there also lies a prejudice towards me because of who my registered sex offender is and because of who his family is.
This systemic failure has not only exacerbated my suffering as a victim but also reinforced my isolation. When the police, the very institution designed to protect victims like me, continually fails to act, it is clear that my safety and well-being are not priorities. Left with no other recourse, I am taking matters into my own hands by creating VictimsDeserveBetter.com, a premium news site and whistleblowing blog—a form of self-advocacy born from the failure of the very systems meant to provide justice. This glaring breakdown in police action serves as a powerful reminder of the need for better training, resources, and policies to ensure that stalking and violence victims, particularly those caught in complex webs of crime, are given the protection we deserve instead of criminalizing the victims.
The Birth of a News Site: A Platform for Freedom
For me, the lack of external support is not going to be my signal of defeat, for it has stoked a fire in me to fight for freedom and justice of victims as I reclaim my own narrative. In the moments of frustration, desperation, and clarity, I have decided to take matters into my own hands where others have failed. This is how I came to create the VictimsDeserveBetter.com news platform—one where my story, and the stories of others facing similar oppression, can be heard; a space designated to shatter the silence as we scream for justice.
Determined to liberate myself from the cycle of fear, criminal activity, control, and invisibility as a victim, I created the VictimsDeserveBetter.com news site designated to give a voice to those of us who are otherwise silenced. This platform has become my only lifeline, not just for my own freedom, but also in hopes to inspire others who are trapped by a system and society that has and is failing us. This is my courageous act of defiance against the very forces that seek to keep me silenced and oppressed.
In hope that the VictimsDeserveBetter.com news site quickly gains traction as it resonates with individuals who are faced with or have faced similar battles—whether we are victims of organized crime, survivors of sexual assault, or are suffering under the cruelty of stalking/harassment. VictimsDeserveBetter.com provides a space for us as victims to share our experiences, exchange support, and raise awareness about the prevalence of these issues. For the first time in years, I can almost see a way out of the darkness, as the VictimsDeserveBetter.com news platform begins to shine a light on the very systems and bullying tactics that have kept me, and others, in the shadows silenced.
The Power of Victims’ Reclaiming Our Narrative
The VictimsDeserveBetter.com news site is so much more than just a digital space—it is a movement “Victims Deserve Better!!!” By sharing my own personal experience I hope to empower others to speak up, to fight back, to take a stand and to demand justice. May my bravery and refusal to back down spark a larger conversation about the ways in which society fails its most vulnerable members, particularly those of us who are caught in the crosshairs of organized crime and abusive predators. As this site grows it becomes a powerful advocacy tool, a space to organize policy changes, a way to share efforts in raising awareness about the importance of victim support, and becomes a way to hold perpetrators accountable.
While my struggle is far from over, my ability to channel my trauma into something productive and transformative proves that even in the darkest circumstances, resilience can prevail. By reclaiming my narrative and giving a voice to the silenced, I have found a path to healing—not only for myself, but for others like me, who are still trapped in a system that seeks to oppress and silence us.
From Oppression to Liberation
In a world that often feels indifferent to the struggles of its most vulnerable citizens, let my story, the story of one woman's fight for justice and my stand against organized criminals be a reminder to not lose hope, even in the most oppressive of circumstances. Through the creation of the VictimsDeserveBetter.com news site, I not only seek a way to free myself from the suffocating grip of organized crime and stalking, but also give a voice to countless others who also have nowhere else left to turn.
Let my story be a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of speaking out, and the unwavering belief that everyone—no matter their circumstances—deserves to live a life free from fear and oppression. This victim's journey is far from over, but it is a journey marked by courage, empowerment, and an unyielding quest for justice. And through me, may others continue to find strength and courage. Never Surrender, Victims Deserve Better!
