Child abuse wedding speech

A TVC to raise awareness of the long-lasting effects of childhood abuse. Agency Whybin\TBWA Sydney shows that whilst it would be nice if people could just joke and be at ease about the terrible things that have happened to them, unfortunately they can't.

that add is sick.. its only making fun of children who have had to suffer threw so much pain already.. it is disgusting

[cabbagePaJdoLL]

i agree QueryCurio,

im going through exactly the same thing, person who abused me was my Dad and he normalises the behavioour tries to make it like its just somethin i gotta get over even when he ogles and cops a feel etc...this ad made me think about my situation, since i still am affected by it, strangely im not offended at all but i cant say that for other people whove been sexually abused. i dont see how it helps anyone tho.

If only it was.

seeing this, although i know they are just actors, but thinking of what some monsters do to children... it just makes me tremble and feel really angry. i HATE people like that, they are psycho monsters, they have no soul.

i just can't say a better thing right now, i can only tremble, its revolting.

This made me throw up. If anyone is going through abuse or has ever use your voice now! Google: Somatic Experiencing

I guess the point of this ad is to show awareness of the fact that there really are monsters like this dad out there. It made me sick to my stomach, but I'm assuming that that was the point. If I were Tom and I'm hearing that speech I'm knocking the dad out cold the second he mentions "it was certainly good enough for me, if you know what I mean"

Don't wast your time reporting your own child abuse as an adult. Because the cops get off on it!!!

this was not offensive at all and kinda funny in a creepy way.

@eloweewee13 No, it's supposed to be sick to show you this isn't a joke and it isn't an easy thing to talk about it and get over it. I had a friend who was abbused as a child, he didn't easily talk about it and i could tell it still hurt. IF YOU SUSPECT ABUSE REPORT IT RIGHT AWAY! WAITING SHOULDN'T BE AN OPTION!
