RT @sganim: #Sandusky laughing as judge asks if he is on meds (yes) that affect his ability to think clearly (no)
This man has no clue what he has done to the lives of those boys. I know because I was sexually abused from 5-13 - and their lives are forever changed. This is the problem with child sexual abuse. The predators are so sick in their own minds, they don't think they've done anything wrong.
But the children - will suffer a lifetime of pains, trust and betrayal issues, body image issues, some will be over-sexualized, while others will retreat - it will permeate and affect every single decision for the rest of their lives - and this sick bastard sits in court and smiles, reminiscing about his old hunting ground!
Hear our screams! Hear our cries! We were but children!!!
UPDATE
I'm so glad he can laugh and smile today. Because also today - there are boys and men who are crying. And will cry for years to come.
Child Sexual Abuse doesn't just go away. It stays with the victim for the rest of their lives. It is a part of who I am. It affects me to this day. And I'm one of the LUCKY ones. Because I have coped with the abuse I suffered for so many years. Many do not make it to the other side. Many still abuse themselves today through drugs, alcohol, dissassociation, abusive relationships, etc.
Hear their stories - and really learn what the effects of child sexual abuse are. Some never make it through...
