7. The sad thing is they do trust them with the kids

Over and over.

Don't forget, some abuse is learned, generational behavior. If victims believe that the abuse is normal and happens to everyone, they will do the same thing to the next generation. so, unfortunately, voters who live with abuse, who haven't realized it is abuse, think the perverted behavior is normal and thus okay.

But people who are elected to public office, and people who gain positions of power have ample opportunity to be enlightened about abuse and have absolutely no excuse to perpetuate abuse ever. Except it satisfies their lust for power.

All of us who understand that abuse isn't normal just have to keep saying it isn't normal or acceptable. We never know if our words are going to open a window or a door.
