The unfortunate truth is that we do not have a system in place that can effectively handle the needs of abused children.
Also, let me repeat, children who are abused have trust issues, huge ones, meaning they do not seek help because they do not trust adults
and I’ll make sure to mention that the next time I talk with someone who was abused as a child, mention that they should have sought help for themselves. We will see how well that goes over.
