This has always been a topic that is near and dear to my heart. I've always had a soft spot for children and the thought of them being exploited in any manner makes me cringe. Through out the years, I've seen videos, blogs and articles about child victimization; and immediately after reading the articles, I always scroll down to the comments.
But this is where things get disturbing...
I've seen so many people post comments for the victims saying:
"Oh if you didn't say anything, you must have liked it" or "Why are you speaking about it now? Why didn't you say something back then?"
These types of questions/statements make me want to hurl! In addition to that, it speaks volumes about the commenter. Nevertheless, my post is not a message for the people who leave negative comments, but its for the victims of these crimes.
If you are ever in a situation where you either read or hear someone make this type of statement, DISMISS THEM IMMEDIATELY!
If you are reading comments, stop reading! If you are in mid-conversation with someone and this is their response... stop talking and walk away.
Yeah, just like that!!
Why? Because you never cast your pearls before swine. He will trample over them. That's what swine do. They step on things that are valuable. When you decide to share this kind of story, be 100% sure you are sitting among wise counsel. If your counsel is not wise, stop talking! Like I said, if you are in mid-sentence, seal your lips! DO NOT UTTER ANOTHER WORD!!
If you needed open heart surgery, would you go to the local grocery store butcher and let him cut you open? I mean, he does have skills with a knife. But is he trained to handle the intricacies of the human heart? Absolutely not! Therefore, the same principle holds true for your delicate situation.
Shut out all the noise and seek the help of a medical professional immediately. And yes boys and girls, the keyword here is PROFESSIONAL!
Take Care Everybody.~
