Erin Merryn (born February 2, 1985) is the author of Stolen Innocence, Living for Today, An Unimaginable Act, Bailey No Ordinary Cat, and The Diary of a Cat Named Carrot. She is an activist against child sexual abuse as well as the founder of Erin's Law, which requires public schools to teach children personal body safety in order to prevent child sexual abuse. Erin's Law was the first law passed in the United States requiring sexual abuse prevention education to be taught to students in school every year, and it was subsequently passed in 38 U.S. states before being signed into federal law. Erin’s Law has now gone international with a judge in Kerala India requiring Erin’s Law in the 2023-2024 school year. Merryn is a national spokesperson for the National Children's Alliance, becoming the first survivor of child sexual abuse that went through a Children's Advocacy Center to speak on national television about her experience.[1]
Merryn was also the owner of the viral Instagram cat, Bailey, until he died in December 2018. She published a book called “Bailey No Ordinary Cat” that showcases Bailey's unusually gentle interactions with her three children. After Bailey's passing, she adopted a kitten named Carrot. She now runs Carrot's Instagram and shares pictures of Carrot sharing a similar demeanor of her previously owned cat, Bailey. Carrot has 296,000 instagram followers. Carrot has her own best seller book titled “Diary of a Cat Named Carrot”.
She has appeared on Oprah, Today Show, Good Morning America, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, TLC documentary Breaking the Silence, CBS This Morning, Katie Couric, Tamron Hall, 700 Club, and over 200 local media stations.
