In the courtroom, Vachss only represents children, defending them legally. In the pages of his novels, Burke protects children, but uses any means necessary to defend them. Or avenge them. The next Burke novel is due out this the spring. Vachss has set up a site on the World Wide Web, a place for victims to turn and childrens advocates to learn.
Some people are so full of hate and rage, the page seems to vibrate with their anger.
And we get all kinds of people saying, I m going to be a warrior too. The site suggests ways for people to help children, but what Vachss really wants is a National Rifle Association for kids. But the people working for children too often have several agendas. If the intensity of the constituency existed for children the way it does for guns, we d see changes very quickly.
