WHY ME?



Molestation is a mental dysfunction that has been silent for several years. There are many people currently who have been molested but are terrified to speak out about their ordeal. A person prefers to live their life in fear instead of living a proactive life by speaking out.  It just takes one person to become proactive, and everyone else will follow. Remember when AIDS hit the United States like a flood everyone who had this disease was afraid to speak out because society is extremely judgmental, therefore; it was best to keep quiet. However, it only took one person to come out of the closet and say he/she had the AIDS VIRUS subsequently everybody followed.

Those who have/have been molested past or present are feeling similarly, therefore; he/she senses it is best to keep quiet. When a person is quiet about molestation their mind will never become free from that act. Some individual deem it is best to ignore what transpired, and he/she attempts to live a normal life.  Also, it is challenging to live a normal life after a person has been molested/raped because he/she will always revisit that experience over, and over again in their mind. Why would anyone allow themselves to be tormented in this manner without seeking professional help? When it comes to a relationship he/she will never have a productive connection with anyone because of the act. A person who molests/ rapes others for their own self-gratification is struggling because he/she was molested as well.  That’s usually the case.

Some parents know their children have been molested and are ignoring the fact. It's unfair because parents are supposed to protect their children. Also, some parents don't believe their children when it is conveyed about their being molested.  Why would any parent be in disbelief when their children confide in them. This is a factor why children run away from home because their own parents are in disbelief. If their own parents aren't going to believe or protect them subsequent who will?

Molestation/rape isn’t an acceptable behavior, therefore; to allow anyone to get away with this act is criminal. When a person has been molested/raped it turns their entire life upside down. A person may attempt to live a normal life following an ordeal as such because of some condition in their mind so he/she can forget the act performed.  Although a person may forget it temporarily their actions in the manner of how he/she lives will display some sort of dysfunction. Molestation/rape is never the person's fault but if that individual does not speak up how can the molester be held accountable for the act that was placed upon that individual.  The molester is free to further his act toward other victims.

 WE HAVE A VOICE, THEREFORE WE SHALL USE IT TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE SECRET OF MOLESTATION OR RAPE.
