Angela Rose has been a blessing to the Army of Angels. It was through her work that the 2008 Report IT Campaign was a success this past April.
Angela Rose was catapulted into activism as a teenager. Rose was kidnapped in broad daylight from a shopping mall at the age of seventeen. The night she reported the crime to the police, she was shocked when the detective accused her of making the story up. After fighting for new detectives to believe her story, they caught the perpetrator who was a repeat sex offender who was on parole for murder. In response to her abduction and sexual assault, Angela Rose turned a suburban community into a group of proactive citizens. Working with others attacked by her perpetrator, Angela spearheaded the movement culminating with the passage of the 1998 Sexually Violent Persons Commitment Act in Illinois. She went on to create the national nonprofit PAVE: Promoting Awareness, Victim Empowerment.
Angela, so beautiful and so very courageous!
