Jerk Bait Keys

When I think about winter, I start to remember the success I have had fishing jerk baits. I can easily state that jerk baits have been a consistent performer of my fishing, especially in the cold water conditions.
Adult Survivors of Childhood Sexual Abuse
by Teresia Smith
Most of us agree that sexual abuse of a child is horrible and should not happen. Unfortunately, it does happen way too often. Child sexual abuse occurs when a child is used for the sexual gratification of an older adolescent or adult. It also involves the abuse of power that an adult has over a child. Sexual abuse can strike regardless of sexual orientation, race, religion, cultural heritage, social or economic status. What should we know about these child victims as they grow to adulthood?
An adult survivor of child sexual abuse suffers long term effects throughout their life. In the majority of instances, as a child they never told anyone of the abuse while it was happening. Now, as an adult, they are left to deal with the effects.
