USA.  A young girl is abused by her father for 17 years and ritually abused by her church between the ages of 5 and 7.  Her father told her she needed sex and that she was not like other girls.  The church told her she was impure and needed to be cleansed.

They told her that she would be taken away to a foreign country, never to be seen again.  They forced to watch her pet rabbit’s throat being cut open slowly and her puppy’s eyes being poked out with sticks and each of his legs being broken – efforts to ensure she remained silent.  They threatened to peel her skin off like a rabbit and then killed if she ever told.

With her silence assured, they forced her to participate in ritual killings, eat of the sacrifices, drink blood, was tortured and not permitted to move or speak. (Were these all animal sacrifices? Not always, as you’ll see in a later case!  Were the sacrifices killed quickly – or slowly to cause as much fear and pain as possible – for effect?)

Did her father protect her?  No!  He abused this child in her own home by forcing sex with her (rape), forcing objects into her body and forcing her to perform oral sex on him.  Where was the mother?  Well, we know where she wasn’t – protecting her child.

What happened to this child?
She escaped at the age of 17, by running into the world with nothing – no money, no education, no skills and no family to support her.  Did society help her?  No!  She was just another run-away, another ‘street kid’ – she is currently being socially abused and neglected.

What happened to the parents or the church? Nothing!

USA.  A young girl is repeatedly told by her father from the time she could remember until she was 5 years old, that if she told her mom he was having sex with her, her mom would get mad at her.  He convinced this child that she was the bad person – not himself!

What happened to this child?
She told and her father now languishes in prison but she’s been kicked out of the family home! Her step-father (evidently it was more important for the mother to find another bedmate and make more babies than to protect and care for those she had) doesn’t trust her with her little brother (because she was abused, she must be an abuser herself!) so she no longer has a family and is currently unemployed and homeless; struggling to survive on her own.  She is only 22 yrs old and the likelihood that she will ever be able to afford a post-secondary education – if she managed to get her high school – is extremely slim, so her options are limited.  Ultimately she was blamed, reinforcing what daddy told her – she is a bad person.

USA.  At the age of 3 months, a baby is put on the black-market for adoption and is adopted by a loving adoptive mother and an adoptive father who didn’t want the child but acquiesced for his wife’s sake.  Sadly, she died when the child was 3 and the adoptive father remarried – a wicked-stepmother for the young boy.  (It doesn’t just happen in Disney’s world of fairy tales!)  This wicked-stepmother physically and violently whipped and beat this boy from the age of 3 but that wasn’t enough for her.  She screamed at him over and over how worthless he was and starved him as well.  But the extreme violence and abuse wasn’t enough either!

At the age of 8, this boy was raped by a stranger – probably because the parents didn’t give a damn about him enough to protect him.  Probably?  When this child was 10, the wicked-stepmother began sending men in to sleep with the child – and of course, they sexually molested him.  By the time he was 15, she had turned him into her domestic slave.  She loaned him out to work cleaning department stores at night while he struggled to attend school by day, and forced him to care for his 2 younger brothers and her.  How humiliating to be forced to take care of someone who is abusing you!  Can it get any more dismal for this child?  It did.  She gave him to a male friend of hers to sexually abuse – his very own sexual slave.  This went on for 2 years until he managed to escape.  Where was the father?  Remember, he didn’t want the child to begin with so he did nothing even though he was aware of everything this wicked woman was doing.  Where were the neighbors?  Probably busy pretending to mind their own business and not getting involved.

What happened to this child?
He escaped finally – when he became old enough to join the navy.  He still suffers bouts of extreme depression, grief and loss and 50 years later, he still has problems with trust and forming close relationships, which means he’s lived a lonely, isolated life.
 
What happened to the wicked-stepmother or adoptive father?  Nothing!

USA.  A 7-year-old girl is threatened by her 16-year-old cousin that he would kill her if she ever told anyone about the things he was doing to her.  She’s only 7 and he's a 16 year old bully!  He breaks her little brother’s arm to prove he means business and repeatedly tells her that she deserves it and that no one would believe her anyway.  Evidently, that part was true because when she finally told her parents and the police at the age of 11 that the cousin was sexually abusing her in all manners imaginable, beating her and tying her up as well, they did nothing to stop him.  Only when the abuser’s brother learned about what was going on and beat the tar out of him and threatened to kill him if he ever touched the young girl again, did the abuse stop.  Parents did nothing!  Police did nothing. Adults failed to protect this child – as usual.

What happened to this child?
She’s alive.  She’s now married, has children of her own and is going it alone in her struggle to heal.  She admits she’s suffered hardships although she didn’t specify what they were, but she’s surviving.

Whom is the cousin abusing now?  How many children’s lives has he already destroyed – how many more before someone stops him?

USA.  For the first 10 years of this girl’s life, her father continued to tell her how evil and bad she was.  He was OK though, with his drugs and alcohol – the epitome of a fine father – just ask him!  Everyone in the house knew what he was doing to her but no one stepped up to help this girl – they allowed this fine father to abuse his daughter sexually, physically, emotionally and spiritually.  To keep her under his control while he enjoyed himself, he would hold a knife to her genitals with the threat to use it if she struggled.  Still, he continued to tell her how bad she was.  She didn’t get past the age of 10 before she was forced to take steps to protect herself from being abused.  This fine father in his 20’s needed to hold a knife to his daughter in a most humiliating way to control her – apparently, little girls are so much more stronger than 20+ year old men!

What happened to this child?
At the age of 10 she told her teachers and the police what her fine father was doing to her – but they did nothing – so she was forced to protect herself.  She pointed a gun to her father’s genitals and threatened him.  He stopped.  She’s in therapy now, and angry that no one helped her, or believed her, or protected her.

USA.  From the age of 5 until the age of 14, this girl had a gem of a mother.  She drank and totally neglected her unwanted child and made sure her little girl knew she was never wanted.  As a family, they uprooted and moved every 6 months or so, on average.  But that’s not the abuse this girl acknowledges or wrote CF about.

First her brother’s father sexually abused her and threatened to kill the child’s mother if she ever told anyone.  The second abuser, her sister’s father, actually had the gall to tell this girl that he loved her far more than he ever loved her mother but if she ever told anyone about him constantly raping her that SHE would be thrown out of the house!

What happened to this child?
At the age of 14, she ran away from home and struggled to survive on her own.  She did tell her mother but her mother now treats her like ‘the other woman’.  She’s an adult now and has been alienated from her family since they learned of the abuse she was subjected to. Where was the mother while her bedmates were molesting and raping this child?  Probably passed out in a drunken stupor – really protecting and raising her children!  They raised themselves!

Today, this woman truly believes that there is no true peace after having lived this kind of life.  She thinks you just do the best you can (to survive).  Such hopelessness in this woman’s voice, even 30 years after the abuse has stopped.  Other than her mother, she told no one about being molested and the mother did nothing – the abusers are still out there amongst children!

USA.  A young girl approximately 5 years old, is the victim of a male schoolteacher about 35 yrs old.  He tells her she’s a bad student and needs to be punished for holding the class up or distracting them with her stupidity.  His method of punishment?  To strip her naked, spank her then insert his fingers and other objects into her and to make her kneel in front of him naked and masturbate him.  She’s only 5 yrs old!  He tells her that his form of punishment is much better for her than the spankings her parents would give her if they knew just how ‘bad’ she was.  She never told a soul about this pervert and he’s still out there somewhere – maybe teaching your children!

What happened to this child?
She’s a college student now and has been suicidal for long periods of time.  So suicidal that one university made her leave.  However, she’s now working through her struggles with a lady from church – she’s “not exactly happy, but I’m alive”.  Is this what life is about – to make it through the suicidal periods?

USA.  This little girl is abused between the ages of 4 and 13 – by her stepfather – a man her mother brought into the home.  He threatened to kill this little girl, or her brother, or sister, or her mother if she told anyone that he was using her sexually and abusing her mentally and physically (beratings and beatings).  She tried to tell her mother anyway but he would never allow the child to be alone with her mother.  So she tried to leave notes for her mother but he always found them before her mother did.  But she never gave up.  Her relentlessness caused him to finally confess to the mother about what was going on in their home and the police were called.  He received a 7-year sentence but he’s out now and she fears he will find her one day.

What happened to this child?
She’s been put on a variety of drugs for depression already and she’s only in her 20’s!  Will these drugs make it all go away like it never happened?  Her brother is a crack addict and her sister was pregnant at the age of 15 and is having extreme difficulties with relationships – even with her own children.  This woman wishes to understand WHY he abused her (and her siblings) and wonders why her biological father (the sperm donor) was never there for her – to this day.  Her relationship with her mother is strained to the point of breaking permanently.  She can’t hold onto a job.  Her future is bleak unless she reclaims her life.  She wishes she could just start her whole life over.

USA.  From the time she was born until she finally escaped by moving out of the house at the age of 21, this child’s mother sexually, physically and emotionally abused this little girl.  She told her that “Daddy will throw you away” if he were ever told.  The mother pretended to be performing ‘medical examinations.’  She did eventually report the abuse to the police but they refused to believe her because, as they said, ‘Mothers don’t sexually abuse their daughters,’ and they sent her away.  The mother gets away with it and we can thank the police!

What happened to this child?
She’s in her 30’s now and the sad thing is that she still believes it was her fault to this day.  She says that she’s non-functional but I suspect that the police experience has left her believing she doesn't have much value as a person.  She’s attending group therapy and counseling but she doesn’t think it’s possible to ever find happiness.

USA.  Until he reached the age of 15 and managed to leave home (escape), this boy was sexually abused, physically abused (beaten) and emotionally abused and he didn’t even have to leave his home to find the perverts and sickos.  They were his father, his mother, his brother, a friend of the family and even his grandmother took part.  For the first 15 years of his life, this child lived in pain and fear and all the adults who should have been there protecting him were abusing him instead.  There were no threats, no promises – they just selfishly and cowardly abused someone smaller and weaker than themselves – true predators!

What happened to this child?
At 17, he tried to kill himself with an overdose of drugs, admitted himself into a hospital twice for 30-day treatments in his 20’s and has sought professional help since.  He admits he has severe problems with relationships sexually and suppresses thoughts of hurting others.  He wants help and he wants to feel better inside.  No one wants to wallow in pity and struggle forever with the aftermath of being abused the way some people believe – what’s to be gained?  He’s in his 30’s now – how long does he have to suffer?

USA.  This young lad was only 4 years old when his nightmare began!  His abusers were his mother and stepfather although it’s unclear who did what -  which is irrelevant in relation to what this child endured!

He was clubbed in the head with a Coke bottle, had his throat slit from his chin, across the left side of his face and parting his ear into two and his cheek peeled from his face.  He was also buried alive along a wooded country road.

Later, after surviving this attack, he was used in the making of child porn.  He was used in all manner of sexual acts, tortured, burned by cigarettes, hung by his penis, forced to penetrate girls his own age (between the ages of 4 – 14) for film until ‘the bloom of youth faded’ and he was no longer appealing to pedophiles.

How the hell can ANY mother allow her child to be abused in such a grotesque manner – let alone participate!

What happened to this child?
He’s alive.  He’s suffered emotionally (I dare anyone to tell him to ‘just forget about it!) he was frozen emotionally at the age of 4 (he was born 60 years ago); he hid behind body fat (armor) and abused alcohol and drugs.  He’s lived an extremely difficult life!

When he read about 9-yr-old “Jessie” being kidnapped and buried alive by a pedophile, his numbed emotions were awoken and he was instantly transported back through time to his own grave and he shared Jessie’s panic and nightmare.

He now is able to get past the emotional age of 4 and he has a need to do something to stop child abuse.  I hope that by this man finally telling, that it causes a profound impact on anyone who reads this and that you do something to help!

USA.  This child was abused by both her parents and by cult members from birth to the age of 17.  She was threatened with death by hanging, burning, being chopped up etc. if she tried to run away or tell anyone.  The cult kept her (and many other children) drugged to keep her off balance, awake and not really sure about what they were seeing – and what they were seeing was the cult members, of which her parents also belonged, practicing human and animal sacrifices and watching as innocent children were sacrificed by hanging, burning, drowning or chopping – which made their threats extremely real and terrifying – especially to a young child!

Her mother broke her jaw with a rolling pin, placed her in an oven as an infant, and shattered the arches of her feet with an iron curtain rod.  Her father sexually abused her from infancy on.  He was an extremely violent monster; he would shove a shotgun into her and force her to crab-walk across the living room floor all the while screaming, “Move your ass shithead or I’ll scatter you all over the goddamn wall!”  On one occasion, he was so rough while he was sodomizing her that he dislocated two cervical vertebrae.  She often had broken arms and legs from being thrown down the basement stairs.

What happened to this child?
She died.  This is a tough case to write because I knew Caitlin.  She lived to be 50 and suffered a lifetime of having to watch over her shoulder for the cult that threatened to find her and carry out their threats.  She changed her name and security number 6 times and moved often.  She lived a life filled with prescription drugs like Prozac, tranquilizers and sleeping pills for night terrors, suffered from Multiple Personality Disorder (there were many!) and was permanently disabled.  Her case is extreme and another prime example why survivors can NEVER forget about the abuse that happens to them.  She wants her story told and the abusers exposed and stopped.
