FACES | Indianapolis
FACES is an organization that was formed by families who have had a child arrested for sexual behavior. They have not raped anyone. Our society has given this generation of kids a thorough knowledge of sexual activities through television, advertising, and music. They have been taught that anything that feels good to them is OK. Unfortunately, they have no idea that what they are doing is probably against the law. When they are caught, they and their families enter into the juvenile court system to begin a seemingly endless and excruciating journey. This expedition may include any or all of the following: All siblings being removed from the home by CPS, probation, family bankruptcy, outpatient sex offender therapy, confinement in an institution for juvenile sex offenders, their names being added to a sex offender list. FACES is a nonprofit organization. Donations are appreciated but not required. We welcome new members and you will not be asked to share information that you deem too
personal. We are here to provide support and share information.
FYI: (317) 241-2346 or tinfoot@Comcast.net
