Stop Child Abuse Now (SCAN) - 2721

Tonight's special guest is Cathleen Pizzutello from Robertsdale, Alabama, born in a New Jersey ghetto to a 15 year old prostitute and heroin addict. Given over to her mentally ill grandmother, her home life was torture with her hateful two sisters and her tortuous mother. "At 17 I moved out with my first room rental," Cathleen explains, "and the married couple's husband raped me. Many photographers approached me to photograph me, often drugging me." That was just the beginning, but now she's better, serving the community. "I dedicate my life to educating the world on the way our government trafficking children through our courts, embassies and Missing and Exploited Bureau. My mother after 63 years of denial reluctantly and privately admitted to not only what I had insisted happened in the family with my great grandfather (in great detail) of incest but also bestiality." Her grandmother was mentally ill. "I thought [she] was my mother, [and she] did regular enemas on me. I remember screaming and crying." At one point Cathleen thought of this as preparation for future abusers. "Occasionally my young mother would come to visit. I would observe furniture throwing and fighting. Grandfather would try to remove me," she says. "One day she invited me and my sisters to ride in her car but said I would have to be blindfolded. It was the last I saw the people I thought were my parents." Now in recovery she says, "It has only been my pursuit of Christ and His Mercy that my sons and I are alive today. I am looking to finish and publish our story."
