(53,661 posts)49. That story of the 3-year was a major thing for me yesterday, so much so I had to talk to someone
IRL because I know so many of these individuals like that child. They'll never be healed. What was done to them was hard wired into their brains and they are in trouble for life. Some lost their minds completely.
It's why I find myself at odds with the right, obviously, and the 'left' at times because they don't see the carnage this creates and want to talk in abstract terms of their 'rights.'
After a while, I just want these prepetrators 'removed from the gene pool' and sadly they won't even be in jail, or if they are, not for long, or public media figures like Candace Crowley will weep for the future of the rapists and not the torn up bodies of the victims, and it comes from the pulpits, the talk shows, the television and the legislators.
It's impossible to miss and it blights my spirit. It is going on around the world. There is no washing it away, when you see what it does to some victims who will eternally need care by professionals that no one wants to pay for. Yet they are the ones at fault as far as the public is concerned.
Meanwhile the perps can only be stopped by other laws at times, like child pornography laws, because their victims will never be able to testify. For every rapist, hundreds go free and are able to do it again.
Take good care of yourself. I won't respond to anyone else on this thread, although it appears most of the responses have been decent ones. I've seen too damned much in life. I carry the stories in my head and heart and will until I die.

That's up to you... There are things I know that don't bear the kind of comments they will get here.
