Description

Janet Heimlich is an award journalist and former freelance reporter for NPR.  She is the president of the Child-Friendly Faith Project and the author of Breaking Their Will:  Shedding Light on Religious Child Maltreatment.   She speaks with me about how religion has been used to justify and excuse mistreatment of children.  From medical neglect to corporal punishment to emotional abuse, religion can serve to harm children.   We can make a difference by breaking the silence.
