Our Story

The name "Millstone" draws deep inspiration from the scripture Matthew 18:6, which emphasizes the gravity of causing harm to the innocent, particularly children. This passage poignantly illustrates the severity with which such acts are viewed by God, suggesting that those who harm children must face dire consequences.

At Millstone, we embrace this perspective, firmly believing that societally we have a sacred responsibility to protect the innocent, and that abuse against children represents one of the gravest violations imaginable. We are committed to not only eliminating this scourge but also ensuring that perpetrators face serious, appropriate penalties for their actions against the innocent.

Our mission is steeped in the resolve to protect children, drawing upon the strength and unwavering commitment exemplified by The Savior's words. We understand the profound responsibility to safeguard the most vulnerable among us, recognizing that the purity and trust of children must be defended at all costs. Thus, our work is not just about prevention; it is equally about seeking justice for those harmed and ensuring that the legal system responds with the full weight of its authority against those who perpetrate such heinous acts.

At Millstone, our mission is to confront and eliminate child abuse in the state of Utah, forging a future where every child grows up in a safe and nurturing environment. We are dedicated to reducing the incidence of child abuse through comprehensive education and preventative programs designed to empower children and families with the knowledge and tools needed to protect themselves against child predators.

Recognizing the pervasive and long-lasting impact of child abuse, Millstone acknowledges that the ramifications extend far beyond the immediate harm to the children involved. Child abuse inflicts profound damage on families, tearing apart the fabric of trust and security that binds loved ones together. It leaves scars not only on the physical and emotional well-being of the children but also on the hearts of parents, siblings, and relatives who grapple with the aftermath of such tragedies.

Furthermore, the effects of child abuse ripple through our communities, undermining the foundations of safety, solidarity, and trust upon which they are built. It challenges our collective conscience, demanding a response that is both compassionate and decisive. By addressing the systemic issues that allow abuse to persist, we strive not only to heal the wounds inflicted on individual lives but also to mend the societal fabric torn by these acts of betrayal.

Millstone is deeply committed to eradicating the scourge of child abuse, healing families, and fostering resilient communities where the dignity and innocence of every child are zealously protected. Our resolve is unwavering: to create an environment where children, families, and communities thrive together, free from the shadows of abuse and fear. Together, we can build a legacy of safety, support, and strength for generations to come.

Embedded within our emblem, the potent Latin adage "Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam" stands as the bedrock of Millstone's ethos, heralding our indomitable spirit in the crusade against child abuse. This principle translates to:

"I WILL EITHER FIND A WAY OR MAKE ONE"

This statement is not merely a motto but a declaration of our relentless resolve. It embodies our unwavering commitment to seek out or carve new paths toward safeguarding children, ensuring justice for the aggrieved, and sealing the chasms in our protective and judicial systems that leave our most vulnerable exposed.

This credo is a beacon, guiding Millstone's dual mission: the obliteration of child abuse through vigilant prevention, comprehensive education, and unwavering support, coupled with the pursuit of transformative legal reforms. These reforms aim to recalibrate our societal and legal bearings, ensuring that offenses against children are met with the gravest repercussions.

Our name, intertwined with this powerful maxim, symbolizes a steadfast vow to effectuate change. Echoing the profound teachings that inspire our foundation, we envision a future where the sanctity of childhood is unviolated, where every child's rights are inviolable, and where the scales of justice weigh heavily against those who dare to prey on innocence.

With every step, Millstone channels the essence of "Aut Viam Inveniam Aut Faciam" -- forging ahead to not only confront but dismantle the mechanisms that enable child abuse. Our resolve is steely, our direction, unswerving. We stand prepared to confront the Goliaths of apathy and legal inertia, armed with innovation, advocacy, and the unshakeable belief that the protection of our children is paramount.

In the face of adversity, Millstone is resolute in our pledge: to find the way or forge one anew, ensuring the dawn of an era where every child thrives, shielded from the shadows of abuse.
