Healing From Complex Trauma & PTSD/CPTSD

A journey to healing from complex trauma.

A system geared to protecting child sex offenders, and not to protecting children

I read this today – a man who has been charged with 79 counts of child sexual abuse, including rape, assault and making child exploitation material.

These are just the offences the police were able to have enough evidence of, to make arrests. There will far more offences.

This man deserves to be in prison for the rest of his life.

He won’t receive that sentence. He will likely do little prison time, and be made to complete one of the ‘sex offender’ program, that have very poor success rates – in rehabilitating paedophiles.

The legal system is geared towards protecting paedophiles and their ‘human rights’.

The system fails to protect children, from this most heinous abuse.

Paedophiles often get a slap on the wrist as a legal consequence of what they do. And they are let back out into the community – knowing they will re-offend.

Paedophiles rights, are clearly the priority.

To me, they lost any rights, the second they made a choice to sexually abuse a child.

They lost their rights to freedom, the second they caused heinous life long harm – to innocent children.

They lost all rights, the second they stole a child’s innocence from them.

But, the system, the do-gooders, the enablers…. don’t see it that way.

Because the rights of adults, are always considered of far greater importance, than the rights of children.

This is clear within the system dealing with child sex offenders, and is even very evident when considering the rights adults have to hit their children – which is physical abuse.

Animals have more rights, than children.

And no-where is this more deplorable, than in the way children are failed by the legal system dealing with child sex offenders.

I do believe child sex offenders have a right to be treated in a humane way, in prison.

But, I also believe they need to be in prison – for the rest of their lives.

Children’s rights to be safe from child sex offenders – should be far more important, than the rights of criminals – who made choices to sexually abuse a child.

Author: Healing From Complex Trauma & PTSD/CPTSD

I am a survivor of complex and multiple trauma and abuse, who at the age of 40, began my healing journey. I am using my journey to recovery and healing, to help others, to help survivors feel less alone, validated, encouraged and to enable others to understand themselves more. Complex trauma, particularly from severe, prolonged childhood abuse, is profoundly life changing. Complex trauma produces complex adults. The journey to recovery is a painful, often lonely, emotional daily challenge and it is my aim to encourage others in their daily battle. ~ Lilly Hope Lucario

One thought on “A system geared to protecting child sex offenders, and not to protecting children

  1. My son was molested. Quoting the child advocate, “the system is designed to protect the accused, not the victim”

    The DA prosecuting our case resigned shortly after. The perp went on to marry my case worker (I was a year out of foster care with my son) who had just adopted 2 little girls removed from their bio family for sexual abuse.

    I called cps on my caseworker hoping to protect the girls. The case was closed with an order of protection (nothing more than a piece of paper promising they won’t be left alone with him). I was accused by cps for calling because I was jealous. The man was my x husband.
