Personally, I have been up against the evils of this world! When I was a child, I suffered at the hands of a child molester. I thought I would reveal this now, to everyone, as I am now ready for everyone to know. When I was 11 years of age, i was allegedly sexually assaulted by a close friends stepfather. I say allegedly,because this case never went to court through lack of evidence! And the man in question was never sentenced to jail unfortunately. I was traumatised by this incident for many years. I was a young girl, very shy, naive and gullible. All I ever wanted to do, was please pleople! I know unfortunately, that I, like many other children in this world, have suffered at the hands of these brutal beings, and they are never brought to justice. Simply because these children are degraded and humiliated enough, by being abused in the first place, they most certainly, majority of the time, do not want ANYONE knowing what has happened, because they are far too ashamed of themselves, and feel it is all their fault. Guilt! Has a large part to play in this role. The child feels they must have done something wrong, in order for that person to have behaved in this diabolical way in the first place! NOT TRUE. They want you to feel this way. And so, nothing is ever said, or done about it! And the abuse continues. When you do get a child that is brave enough to speak out, their parents sometimes DO NOT BELIEVE them! Denial is the common knowledge for this. If the police do get involved, this in itself, is also hard for the child to deal with. All the questioning, and probing, and sometimes tests, becomes all too much for the child to deal with, understandably! Even after all this being done, the person in question may still not be arrested due to lack of evidence! If they are, however, then the maximum sentence they will get is 7 years. Personally, I do not think that this figure is nearly enough, as that child needs years of therapy to get over that abuse. Do they ever resume a normal relationship for themselves?! Personally, I have finally found love and happiness for myself! I have taught myself to love myself! And thankfully, my fiance, my family and friends do too. Love and peace Nikki xx |
