Child Abuse: One Girls Story

One story, told by me but not mine. Breaking the silence is the biggest step for all those who have been abused, in whatever way. I was asked to make this video and I will attempt to respond to any comments but be aware I will only know what I have been told and the person in question may not feel able or even know all the answers. I will however be her advocate. She will not be responding here.

I really admire this womans strength, it takes a lot to speak out. And I hope that she is at peace today. None of what that manipulative man said to her was true, I really hope she understands this. The inner child speaks out in so many different ways, sometimes it's difficult to keep the mindless chatter at bay. You are so kind to be her advocate, having somebody else understand the workings of ones own mind can very often be the matter between life and insanity. Peace to you both :)

@fuckoffycus It did take a great deal of strength for her to share this, and I know was perhaps a step in the long healing process. She has told me she listened to it many times, it brought home to her how untrue the assertions made had been. I hope also it may help others in a similar position to see the same.

any one who abuses young girls are sick...they are Bullies ans cowards every single one of them...every single girl has a God given right not to be abused by any one....I was abused when i was at school and bullied so i do know just how it feels...It makes you feel afraid sad lonely and ashamed to all the young girls out their Never let any one Abuse you even if you know the person....Never ever lat ony one everdo that to you...God Bless from Chris.

[Loreleila]

Thanks for your thoughts Chris. :)

well, this is a horrifying testimonial, to be sure. as a father of a girl who is 12 years old, i can't see how someone could do such a thing. i hope that the person who suffered this torture finds some sort of peace in their life.

Desovamed, please go back and watch other videos by Loreleila... the very nature of the crime is that you do not tell, that you believe it is your fault, beyond all reason. Please do not judge this victim, she does that enough for herself.

[Loreleila]

Oh I agree with you, I wasn't disputing what you said. And thank you for pointing out that both genders can be victims. I too have known a number of victims and males may often find it much harder to share or address this for fairly obvious reasons. Thanks for your input Karen, I really do appreciate it.

It's certainly a valid point that any person [both genders can be victims of this] needs to find ways to reconstruct their sense of self in ways which they find helpful...I have had known people who have suffered this kind of appalling abuse, and the telling & retelling of the horrors can for therapeutic for some.

I was simply pointing out that there ARE safe places to do that..You're absolutely right that might not be the choice for some victims, but it can, for some, be very helpful...

A paedophiles sexuality is invariably distorted in more ways than their attraction to children.

I hope this video goes somewhere good too. I hope it helps in the healing of the individual in question and I hope it helps others who have been abused to see what happened to them could not possibly be their fault and that speaking out can be productive and helpful.

[ChrisJMoor]

It is evident in this case story certainly but I do not believe this is generally the case. Certainly I would say it is in this one and this sounds like a case of repeated and protracted physical and mental abuse of unusual severity.

I do hope this video goes somewhere good. Vengeance never does any good but in this case I would smile at the thought of this individual living the rest of his life where he should have placed decades ago - in a maximum security psychiatric jail.

[Loreleila]

Indeed Ben.

[Loreleila]

I think this is part of the problem. It appears paedophiles are aroused by power, humiliation and manipulation as much as they are by sexual gratification alone. It's the fear and pain they cause, control over another which gives them what they want. To most that makes no sense at all, well to any sane being it doesn't.

As to your latter statement I quite agree.
