I have a BS in Criminal Justice. As I studied I was stunned by how many people teaching subjects that inform on victimology don’t really get it. I also was a sexual target as a child. I told and told and told. No one helped. Our priest told my mom I was young enough that I would forget about it. The abuse continued for seven more years. I view it as being a target not as a victim. I was chosen and unprotected because I was vulnerable and my safety was less important than the view. I never hesitate to speak about abuse mine or others. I am a born advocate, facilitator, and empath. The target has very little control over what happens to them or how they finally remove themselves but are expected to recover and own the abuse inflicted upon them. Eric most men who are abused who do come out as an advocate or just to speak do it in their thirties or forties. It is socially more shameful to be abused if you are male for some reason...no matter how young/old you are. Much love and keep up your good works.
