Help make therapist abuse a crime in Maryland

Time is drawing near for us to fight for this law again and we need everyone's help.  Talk to you legislators, congress, and anyone else that would listen to help pass this law.  Check out what was put into it last year:  http://legiscan.com/MD/text/HB60/id/672072  We need everyone to be informed on what is going on with this law.  Prevent therapists from raping their patients by supporting this law.  There are more therapists that do this every day.  Take advantage of their patients, make them think that they are the only ones that care, and prey on their weekness's.  It is unethical for them to do it but it is not illegal.  The boards only fine them and give them a slap on the hand for what they do.  Make it a law and make the boards step up and report it.  Check out Lynette's Law for Maryland http://www.lynetteslaw4maryland.com/   and like their page on facebook  http://www.facebook.com/lynetteslaw4maryland   if you are on there.  We will keep you informed as the date draws near.  In the mean time support us in anyway you can.
