I am noticing some chatter on how to keep this movement alive and viable in the long term. This is important because if you look at the franklin scandal or the dutroux affair eventually they fizzle out despite the evidence and public support.
I think it is time to start to consider a multi faceted plan: investigating and compiling evidence is important but alone it is not enough. The perpetrators are in this for the long haul and they have the money, influence, and organization in place for it.
How can we avoid the pitfalls of the past such as the franklin coverup? Why did nothing change? I myself am not sure but I think there is a lot of expertise here. I thought a discussion would be helpful at this stage.

The Franklin Scandal fizzled because victims, witnesses, and investigators became frightened for their lives. Victims changed their story after they saw what happened to teenager Alicia Owen for telling the truth... 9-25 year prison sentence for perjury. Much of it in solitary confinement.
There were also many mysterious deaths surrounding those willing to come forward with evidence. Investigator Gary Caradori had incriminating photos and his plane exploded mid-air. Troy Bonner's brother committed "suicide". With a corrupt judicial system, police department, and local newspaper, victims had nowhere to turn.

Thank you this is what I was wondering. Scary stuff.
