The good thing is it's now coming out - from many directions. That's a beginning, slow I know, but as Sandy wisely said perhaps too fast isn't the best way - slow and easy may be best for the many fragile souls that have been abused.
We incarcerate the few abusers that are allowed to be brought to justice, but I do wonder what happens again when they are released. Here in the states the there are many cases that, when released, abuse again. I would love to have a really good therapist spend as many years as it takes with these offenders (while incarcerated) to see if they can get to the reason behind their actions. Would it be just one? Probably not, but I feel there would be some underlying cause.
We have classes in so many inconsequential subjects in our schools. I have felt for some time that we have left out the most important. Understanding human nature and how to deal with the problems that arise in our lives. If this were started at an early age and continued on to adulthood, would it make a difference. And by this I don't mean all this religious dogma of you can, can't and shouldn't. We can't legislate morality either by church or state - that just makes it go underground.
Sex is a very important subject - and rarely discussed either in home or school or in Forums. Yet it is plastered all over the TV, movies, internet, etc., . . . so much stimulation and display and little really serious discussion.

oop:
I just lost my previous post regarding the video Calabash posted about Ian McFayden...............what a heart felt, COURAGE FILLED, Wonderful Man he is to go as PUBLIC as he has and Kudo's to his wife and son for holding him tight and close while he made himself vulnerable to the world at large.
There is such RAW vulnerability in reliving and experiencing childhood abuse as it more than not takes one right back to that innocent age mentally, physically and emotionally and standing in that space of powerlessness is what keeps many from dealing with the pain and helplessness of it all.........................the perpetrators know this and count on it!!
Thank you for posting this story Calabash and much love and strength with deep admiration to Mr. Ian McFadyen.
