PFC sponsors award-winning documentary Boyhood Shadows – addressing sexually abused boys

Originally aired in 2007, Boyhoods Shadows – I Swore I’d Never Tell, was the focus for discussion during the November 5 and 12, 2010 airings on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The documentary follows the journey of a boy who was sexually abused. Oprah’s show aired a two part series entitled “200 Males Who Were Molested Come Forward.” The show featured actor and director, Tyler Perry, and men from across America who were sexually abused during childhood.

With the recent tragedy at Penn State, a greater sense of urgency must be placed to illuminate this insidious issue of sexual predatory behavior and to support those abused in obtaining the necessary therapy to ultimately heal. Distressingly, the typical pedophile molests an average of 117 children each year with the sexual abuse occurring before the age of 16 at one in six. PFC is an advocate that through education more victims can be helped and so distributed copies of the documentary to the studio audience and special guests of the Oprah Winfrey Show.
