Sexual Abuse/Assault in the News

[allegro]

To compare the random internet rambling of some psycho bitch to the Catholic church scandal is taking this too far..That's a whole different level. These self-proclaimed saints are the biggest sinners.

In most child sexual abuse, there is no actual evidence. If you’re looking for sperm, fingerprints, or Perry Mason kind of stuff, you’re usually not going to find it.

Even in date rape situations, there is no “evidence.”

The occasional false accusation is far outweighed by the actual ones.

All I’m saying is that we should avoid using “evidence” requirements when discussing these types of crimes, as it often doesn’t exist.

Because sadly, children cannot speak up for themselves - especially considering that it takes most adults years to come forward. But with time, there goes the evidence, if there is.

Even evidence isn't evidence sometimes, take date rape. If it's word against word, whose word outweighs the other?
The assumed victim? This is what I mean..

There is no black and white here. Just shades of grey..
