I was 9-10 years old when full grown men started creeping on me. My almost 5 year old is more than halfway to the age when the sexual harassment becomes obvious.
It makes me want to burn the world to ash.

While you're on opioids, your brain stops producing dopamine. When you are experiencing withdrawal, it's because it takes a while for that process to start again.

My father's school did a guided tour through the woods searching and learning about local herbs.
A few years later, my father was still a child, police showed up and asked him if he recognized the man in a picture that they showed him. My father explained that he was the herbalist tour guide.
Apparently, the guy had m******d several boys and had my father's name and address in his car.
The police had caught the guy by this point. I think he k*lled himself or died in suspicious circumstances...

Police r**e people being detained, and most of the time nothing is ever done about it. NO s*x is consensual when it’s with someone being detained. Never.
