What if reporters and media experts spent more time telling people how valuable they are and focused more on showing them how to find their special gifts. And imagine what the world could be like if people passed that encouragement on to class- mates, coworkers, neighbors and everyone they Practical and magical nuggets of A preeminent voice in the addiction came in contact with! wisdom for daily encouragement. field offers new insight on an old classic.

Hagan Ohio House District 50 House Bill 377 Education and Career Readiness Committee December 12, 2017 Chair Brenner, Vice Chair Slaby, Ranking Member Fedor, and members of the House Education and Career Readiness Committee, it is my honor to provide sponsor testimony on Erin’s Law, House Bill 377. Erin Merryn is an author and activist who was the victim of one of the worst crimes against humanity that a child can experience, brutal and continuous sexual abuse. No child should be robbed of their innocence, it is our job to educate and protect children in all possible ways from such harm. After Ms. Merryn reached out to me with her personal story, I realized that her heartbreaking testimony is necessary in a world where so much evil exists. This story was unfortunately all too familiar, as Erin told me about the hell she had experienced my heart felt for every child who has been tortured and abused. My own mother experienced such ill fate as a child during her adolescence when her drunken step-father would stumble into the front door and linger in her bedroom. There are some things in this world that can not be reversed, can never be completely healed but can in some circumstances be prevented or reduced through the power of education. Erin Merryn has made her life’s work about saving children from the evil that exists by making her mission education about sexual abuse in America.

  • February 11, 2015 Dear Legislators, My Name Is Erin Merryn. I Am a 29
    February 11, 2015 Dear Legislators, My name is Erin Merryn. I am a 29 year old from Chicago author of 3 books, named Glamour Magazine Woman of the Year for 2012 and have done many national TV interviews including Oprah, Good Morning America, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, Katie Couric, among others. I am the name behind Erin’s Law. A law I have successfully passed in 19 states. Erin's Law requires personal body safety curriculum talk to children Pre-K through 12th grade. Giving kids the ability to know the difference between safe and unsafe touches and safe and unsafe secrets it teaches children personal body safety. It requires training for school staff on the warning signs to look for in a child being abused, how to respond if a child discloses abuse to you, etc. Without Erin’s Law kids only get the message from an abuser and that is to stay silent. Often children are abused for years and don’t come forward until they are adults because they were educated only to stay silent and afraid it was their fault. There are currently 753,000 registered sex offenders in America. I am on a personal crusade to get Erin’s Law passed in all fifty states. As a child I was taught yearly in school on tornado drills, bus drills, fire drills, stranger danger, DARE, Bully intervention, internet safety, look both ways when you cross the street….I could go on and on. I knew not to go look for the lost puppy, I knew how to run out of the burning building, and I graduated from DARE knowing the 8 ways of how to say NO to drugs.
