Reply To: Molesters: Why Do Some In Our Community Cover For Them?

So right: what more “proof” do you need, that when a kid comes telling his parents (best possible scenario in worst possible situation, although mostly kids keep it in for a long while) – having NEVER seen a therapist in his life – and talking about things that he/she would never be able to “imagine/make up” UNLESS someone was MOLESTING him, or perhaps, grooming him for future abuse?

The saddest part of all this, as some others mentioned, there are big chances that those molested and don’t get proper help themselves become molesters… think about the ramifications. It’s alot like a malicious virus, that infects not only your computer, but then unleashes the virus to friends/contacts’ computers… which then multiplies by sending to all THEIR contacts and friends… out of control, harmful, viruses… that eventually shuts the computer down… this is similar to how molesters in our community are wreaking havoc.

ramat: Unfortunately – that is NOT the best response – as now that they have run the perpetrator out-of-town… he’s free to go to the next town and cause unimaginable harm THERE. WHICH IS EXACTLY how it’s been happening. Hopefully, in this internet age, and intercommunity relationships – that the threat is reduced somehow – because this is a very ill-concieved tactic… the criminal has to be prosecuted. Simple as that.
