• It is not only a caring society that helps people harmed by violence-it is also a courageous one. I was very impressed by the front page story on the Cayman Crisis Center's 1st year Anniversary. I do hope that the publicity will help others feel more social responsibility for supporting the Center's mission. So often people think that bad things only befall individuals who deserve their pain and hardship. This is a fallacy that perpetuates injustice, and works to support evil and evil doers. There truly is no excuse for domestic or sexual violence, and I am also glad that the accompanying Cayman Net News August 24th editorial clearly spoke out this truth.
  
  Victims are usually trusting and good people who have chosen the wrong people or situations to trust. (As we all remember from our childhood experiences, it was often the most sensitive and vulnerable amongst us who were targeted by the bullies and villains.) Clearly, the Cayman Crisis Center is standing up to the "grown-up" bullies amongst us by sheltering and also empowering their clients-so they don't remain victims. Three cheers.
  
  I applaud the women of the Cayman Crisis Center - including all those who seek their assistance. All steps to end this cycle of violence are very brave ones - Silence Can Be Deafening
