I know in this world, we will have tribulation. And sadly, innocent people will suffer under the hands of the guilty (dating back to Cain & Abel). I'm so glad Jean that you caught my post "My Voice (As A Survivor) Is A Powerful Weapon." This is why people like us need to keep speaking. :)Maynetrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439964543973382802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972801155149631325.post-84885993497451093422014-01-12T01:55:12.026-08:002014-01-12T01:55:12.026-08:00This really hit home!

"If an abused child is not given justice for the crime done (or the love they so need)," If we are going to imagine a better world, I would like to imagine one where the abused child gets both justice and love.

We say that sexual abuse is a heinous sin, but we treat those victimized like they're the scum of the earth. And yes, this is in the faith community. <br /><br />One thing I heard almost 20 years ago fits in this case: justice delayed is justice denied. If an abused child is not given justice for the crime done (or the love they so need), as I mentioned in DDBS (that's Deaf, Dumb, Blind & Stupid for short), they will either take their lives or they will become sadistic.<br /><br />Great observations!Maynetrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439964543973382802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972801155149631325.post-32104288759301155992014-01-09T16:17:10.525-08:002014-01-09T16:17:10.525-08:00The sad thing is that every act as an effect.

As our society's social acts effectively isolate, ostracize, and criticize the victims... As this pattern repeats over and over, year after year, we have the results of abuse running rampant and unaddressed mental illness crippling masses. Justice is needed for the abusers. Christ like love is needed for the survivors. I wonder how many of our social ills can be solved by just doing these two things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083458018799949192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972801155149631325.post-20657595016339046802014-01-09T16:07:07.986-08:002014-01-09T16:07:07.986-08:00I agree.

The religious will quickly admit that sexual abuse is one of the worst forms of sin. But when it has life destroying effects on the victims they respond like, "what is the big deal?" It is my belief that the worst sins are considered the worst by God because of the level of damage they do. To be like Christ we need to care for and love the abused, to validate them and help them heal. If we wont, who will?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083458018799949192noreply@blogger.com
