[Lady Pamela]

Having gone through sexual abuse during my childhood, being raped at an early age and watching my other family memebers endure such. The entire subject sets me off horribly.
I have had much help in this area but it has been a cause of mine througout my life to help.

For me personally it effects me in anger and Discust. Being the adult me that is.

But pertaining to those in direct danger.. It sets me into go mode. I act if possible. I do whatever it takes to bring that person to stop and be arrested.

I had an oppertunity as a young teen to sit amoungst many men in prison. All being molesters or rapists by the way.
The purpose for this was to help me understand the reason why they do what they do. A therapy of sorts.
These were all men who wanted to help others not endure what they had given out before.
Yes is was horribly scarey for me at first. But is was one of the most helpful things ever done for me too.

It has taught me as an advocate how to help others get through it. And without taking it on as a personal attack. Most these people do not see a person, they see an object to controle.

I personally do not believe the prison time or punishment is near what it should be. And personally "if it were legal that is" would like them all to be released into public population..but that is never going to happen.

So the best way to arm against such is knowledge. And to take action. And do whatever it takes to get those safe in harms way.

Learn where to go to report. Find advocates that deal with this incase you need them or those you know might.
