Shouldn't therapy abuse be a crime nationwide?

It is astonishing to think that anyone would not believe that therapy abuse should be a crime. Even the smallest percentage 1% is way to high as we hold these people higher up then that.  They are the ones that are suppose to help us feel better about ourselves, help us work through our problems, and learn to love ourselves and/or others again.  They are suppose to be there to protect you, report the crimes, and give you sound advice on how to work through all your troubles.  
Victims go through so much already and are going to find away to deal with their pains, anger, depression, and/or other emotional feelings.  Some of them are coming to therapists for rape.  Rape victims mostly blame themselves and it is up to the therapist to help them see that it isn't their fault.
This isn't rocket scientist people, this is a real crime and these predators on our weak has got to stop.  Make this a crime in Maryland and in every state that hasn't done it yet.  Get the information out there for others to make informed decisions on what is going on.  Open your eyes and be aware of who are doing this very thing to cause our problems in society.  Check out this database on therapists in your area and this is just the ones that have been reported, could you imagine how large the list would be if everyone reported it?  http://www.psychcrime.org/database/

I thought this video might help to get you to understand what our victims go through.  Check it out.

And, check out the video attached of Heather talking about a few of the therapist right here in Maryland.  And remember even one bad apple is too many.  Don't let Heather fight this alone, get on board and help.
