Illogical

i was starting to think that child abuse

Especially sexual

Is much more predominant than anyone even imagines

I mean we can already rightfully assume it is under reported

We will never have accurate statistics because

It isn't something people want to admit to

But maybe

I'm too close to the situation to see it clearly

Maybe I'm like a police officer

Who sees an abnormally high amount of violence daily

Who then starts to believe that violence is everywhere always

To some degree sure

It does seem to be human nature

But on the whole maybe it stays fairly consistent.

Maybe?

Maybe it goes in cyclical waves

Like most everything else seems to do

I don't know.

I'm willing to admit

That while I think child sexual abuse is very dominant in our world

In modern society probably most especially

That maybe it isn't necessarily worse than it's ever been

But wouldn't it be better if it simply didn't exist?

But how do you prevent something

That no one really talks about

That usually happens in the privacy of people's own homes

That is perpetuated by people within your inner circle mostly

That seems to be handed down or passed like a baton

When there are no preventative measures

If an abuser abuses because he/she was abused

And the victim goes on to abuse

The cycle is never ending

So where do we break it?

If we are going to leave it to each individual person

To break their own cycle of abuse

God save us all

Because I don't see the resources

The support

Available to have that happen

In real life
