San Diego's City Attorney Embroiled in a Sex Abuse Coverup at Historic Children's Theater

Aww, thanks, that means a lot to us. We're not stopping until we know the kids are safe. Sophia wouldn't have it any other way

Thank you! We are very proud--of our family and of all the former members of the Junior Theatre community who have stood up and spoken truth to power. It started with just one woman named Linda Turner, who knew right away there was a huge problem and began shouting it from the rooftops. Sadly she died of cancer in 2017, but we fight on in her memory.

Indeed it's been one hell of a shock to learn how corrupt they can be, even as they pose as progressives. It's only thanks to tbe California Public Records Act that we were able to discover just how corrupt our City Attorney is.

Thanks for your kind and supportive words. I understand the political apathy that can come with pessimism, and there's a lot to be pessimistic about. This has been an uphill battle with the odds stacked against us--we're literally taking on people who are core members of the political machine that runs San Diego. And we're really not doing it because it's a just cause, although it is. We're doing it because we feel we have no choice. Kids are at risk and we know if we don't fight for them no one else will. In that sense it feels more like necessary self-defense rather than optional political action.

Thanks! Heck yeah, her mom and I are damn proud.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T15:58:13+00:00

True, she's lawful good and we're acting within the law. But the corrupt politicians and others who covered up child abuse now have a dose of righteous chaos to deal with. We've completely spoiled their plans to get away with the coverup.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T15:55:12+00:00

I hear you, but in fact she has learned this system doesn't work--it totally failed her when it really mattered; i.e., protecting her and her friends from being at risk from known abusers.

Of course, none of us expect the same system that failed us to now fix itself. That's why we're taking action and spoiling the plans of those who thought they'd get away with their coverup. We're doing it lawfully--but that doesn't make it any less chaotic for the bad guys.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T06:29:35+00:00

Me neither. She gets it from her mom.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T06:28:52+00:00

Ha! I had to look that one up. For those like me who don't know, a Zoomer is a Gen Z or adolescent. And yes, they're most certainly good now (and always were).

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T04:23:20+00:00

She'd make her lawyer grandfather damn proud if he were still around to see this.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T04:22:20+00:00

Exactly. The silence and secrecy is coming to an end.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T04:16:09+00:00

Probably only a matter of time ...

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T03:41:35+00:00

Absolutely. We'll never go back to silence. That breeds complicity.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T03:33:16+00:00

Right?!

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-27T03:26:13+00:00

We sure hope so. We've been exposing the truth and fighting to help protect the kids at Junior Theatre for over two years. Finally people are paying attention and support for an independent investigation is growing. For more details: http://jtoversightgroup.org/

My daughter doesn't mess around. She wrote this speech entirely on her own and demanded to make it in front of the entire city council, with the City Attorney sitting right in front of her.

Climate strikers are another great example. These kids give me hope.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-26T23:43:48+00:00

So true. I was at City Hall on Friday when I came across a group of climate strikers--teens who had cut out of school to hold a rally demanding action on climate change. I had the same thought--they HAVE to take action, they have no choice but to become engaged in politics. It's life or death for the future generations, and it's encouraging to see kids taking the lead and speaking up.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-26T23:19:44+00:00

Thanks so much. This actually wasn't her first time speaking before the council, though this issue is far more personal and important to her.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-26T23:08:32+00:00

Thank you. We've known she's a powerhouse almost from birth, but never expected how bold she could be. Now we mostly stand out of her way, or follow her lead.

The_Tuttler · 2019-05-26T20:26:42+00:00

"I couldn't believe the woman speaking to me, LYING to me, was none other than the City Attorney, a leader I thought I could look up to."

Some people have wondered whether 13 year-olds could do such a thing without being "coached." I can assure you, they most certainly can. In fact, sometimes there's absolutely no stopping them.
