As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, I must say this to you, most kids who go through this are so traumatized , ashamed, and/or afraid they can’t tell.
My father, yes my own father, told me when I was 10 that if I EVER told he would kill myself , my mother and my sisters. I believed him, he was a wife and child beater too.
Then there was my Moms father, he told me that if I told he and I both would go to jail.
I never told anyone what these men did to me, men that should have loved and protected me, instead did this horrible thing to me.
Until it came out that my grand-dad had tried to do something to one of my cousins, when I was told what she had said he did I told my family to believe her.
Then the whole ugly story came out. I had to tell the one person in this world that I believed loved me that her husband of over 50 years had had sex with me, her granddaughter. You have no idea how painful that was for her, or for me. If it hadn’t been for not wanting my cousin to be called a liar, I would have denied it all. Sometimes I still wish I had ! It wound up a big mess, my dad was already dead, he died when I was 17, I had family members calling me a liar, and they telling me they wished I was dead and in hell.
But you know, a few years ago I watched my grand-dad die in agony from cancer. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Revenge is not the answer, education is the answer.
Teach your kids that they can tell you anything, that you will believe them. And for the love of God and your kids, if one of them comes to you and say,“so and so has been touching me” BELIEVE the kid. Get them to tell you when where and how, then file charges. Don’t make the mistake a girl I know did her daughter said that the moms bf had “stuck his finger in her butt”
This child told me the sam3e damn thing. The mom didn’t believe her 7 year old daughter, she believed the guy.
People, child molesters come in all sizes , shapes, colors, professions. Don’t let your child live in that kind of hell please don’t.
Please forgive the misspelling ect. in this post, but this has me in tears, please, please. please, believe the the children.
If the police and cps will do nothing, make sure that no child you have cotrol of gets around the pervert again.
Most child molesters have more than one victim.
