I am writing this letter in hopes of finding some help with a few issues that I feel the Public should be aware of.Last year my soon to be ex was in the United States Army,and was deployed to Iraq.In July of 2004 my oldest daughter told me some very disturbing information.That her dad had done some horrible things to her.I later found out that he had done it to my youngest daughter also.I reported the sexual abuse to the proper authorities,and an investigation was started by the department of the Army CID unit.They told me that they were positive that my husband had molested my children.The Army brought my husband back from Iraq in December of 2004 pending criminal charges.In Febuary of 2005 I met with the prosecution for the Army,and was informed that they were not going to prosecute my husband,because they felt it would be to tramatic to my daughter's if they had to testify against my husband.I was very upset with their decision,because as their mother that should have been my judgement call not theirs.I went to the local athorities that same day,and filed charges against my husband.Thankfully we lived out in town in their jurisdiction for 5 months so I was able to file charges with them.
I have also done some research on the internet,and have found some really disturbing information.On the Killeen Texas Sexual Offender website I found that their are several men that have been convicted of sexual assault with a child ,and are still serving in the United States Army.They are also living on Fort Hood around innocent children.I am really beginning to believe that the United States Army condones such behavior.I will not give up on my children.I have fought long,and hard for someone to prosecute my sick ex husband for what he did to my daughter's.I have climbed the chain of command within the Army.I spoke with a woman who works at the Pentagon,and her response to me was "I am sorry that those things happened to you,and your children,but there is nothing we can do." I was shocked with her attitude about the incidents that had occured.I as a United States Citizen,and a mother would like for some things to change.I am my daughter's voices.I think the media needs to be aware of these type of issues that occur within the military.
p.s.I would like to discuss my story with someone,there is so much more to tell,but I would prefer to speak with someone in person or on the phone.
