Maryland needs to make therapist abuse a law

Therapist abuse comes in many shapes and sizes but no matter what shape or size it should be illegal.   The therapist and their office is a place that you should be able to go and talk freely on what is bothering you.  It is a peaceful place that you trust to talk about anything.  It is not a place you hate going or fear going.  

They are suppose to be there to help their clients, not to help themselves to their clients.  Therapists that take advantage of their patients in their time of need should be held responsible for their actions.  It should be a crime and we should punish them for that crime.  

Lynette's law for Maryland will be bringing this back up next year and we need all the support we can get.  Why not help us spread the word and get this law passed?  http://www.lynetteslaw4maryland.com/  We need more people to stand up and fight with us.  We need all legislators on our side for this one.  We need all the backing we can get.  If you agree with what Lynette's law is trying to accomplish then post this ribbon to your facebook page, twitter, and anywhere else you think it should go.  Help spread the word on therapist abuse and make Maryland finally pass the law.
