Discussion Board - Introduction to Community Profile Subject

       Chong Ly is a Vietnamese-American female born and raised here in the US. She is currently twenty-two years old, and working as a senior caretaker in San Diego, California. Chong Ly is my paternal Cousin from my biological father’s side. I have known her, since I was a young child. She was my point of interest as a community profile subject, for she experienced the same or similar events as that of my baby sister Michelle by the same perpetrator. What Chong experienced as a child gives away towards a whole major issue at hand in today’s world. That is running rampant. Child rape and sexual abuse. Chong Ly my cousin suffered through a brain clot and almost died from it during the court proceedings. As of now her dream job is to get into social services for children, and help kids that need protection. The world is a dangerous place;however, it is far more dangerous for children then it is for adults. There has to be a way to change the current predicament in today’s society for the better. Whatever that is thrown at her has made her thriving for a better future, a better life, and a better way of living.
