If you want to sum up New Hampshire’s child abuse and censorship problem in a nutshell, look no further than this from 2012 about the election of Stacie Laughton. You will notice that the link to Stacie’s interview with the Nashua Telegraph has now been removed – at whose orders?

The NH Press Association, formerly headed by Howard Altschiller, married to Dem Rep Debra Altschiller [now a NH State Senator -Editor] because it’s politically inconvenient.
Laughton is more focused on using the position as an opportunity to improve society: advocating for the homeless, those in low-income housing, and those with mental illnesses and physical disabilities. She also said she would like to strengthen the public school system.
Child abuse recognizes no political affiliations or genders, but unfortunately, the NHCADSV, HAVEN, DCYF, Children’s Trust Fund, and Children’s Advocacy Centers are too tied up politically and too tied to the Judiciary and Police to be able to see the wood from the trees because it doesn’t suit their fundraising narratives.
Stacie Laughton got a pass. Henry T Nicholas III (who funded Marsy’s Law campaign) got a pass (Amanda Grady Sexton told the public not to pay attention to news reports of his sex, DV, and drug abuse history). Police Detective James F McLaughlin got a pass (he used sexual images of children to federally entrap) but was rewarded by the New Hampshire Police & Fire Department for lifetime achievement while the AG’s office helped block his history of misconduct from becoming public.
Stacie Laughton has now been arrested for child pornography in a daycare center. The NHCADSV of course, is silent as they were when a Manchester Middle School teacher was arrested for sexting with a 6th or 7th-grade male, as they were when Phillips Exeter Academy covered up sexual abuse because their funding relied on the goodwill of Governor Hassan; as they have been about Chuck Douglas’s ordering of a 13-year-old female rape victim back to YDC because she failed to name her rapist. As they were about James F McLaughlin and his use of child sexual images to federally entrap in the name of cracking down on sexual assault as they were when a female from Concord pled guilty to sex abuse of minors in YDC.
It’s not complicated. Public funds have been abused in New Hampshire to promote a dishonest judiciary in bed with non-profits who cover up and hide sexual abuse in partnership with their relations in the media.
