i have a new hero

and her name is jill campbell.

jill and her husband gary worked very hard to document CHILD ABUSE at a swiss run orphanage in ethiopia. terre des hommes-lausanne was it's name. not only did they PROVE the abuse but the orphanage eventually ADMITTED the abuse. however, the campbells were then sued by the 'charity' for defamation (i couldn't believe it either) AND THE 'CHARITY' WON. they demanded an apology from the campbells (or ms campbell would have to serve six months jail time). gary apologized (he said they both couldn't go to jail. one of them needed to care for their children). jill WAS NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE and she was ready to do the time. at the last minute the 'charity' withdrew it's suit. after exiting court, ms campbell had this to say

"The charity has wasted seven years pursuing us through the courts and chasing and intimidating us. "These would have been much better spent supporting the victims and apologising to them and seeking compensation for them."
