Child molesters almost always convince the children to do it without threats of force or violence. Once they get into this situation the victim will not report it because he is afraid it will be assumed that he consented.
When Query caught Sandusky in the shower with a child the child did not feel like he was being saved. He felt like he was being caught doing something wrong just like Sandusky.
And this is why it can mess up kids for life. It is not just about the physical abuse. It is more about the mental manipulation they go through at such a young age.
Fred and I have disagreed on many a point over the years, and agreed on a few too. I will say the above post is 100% dead on correct, and I appreciate the accurate assessment.
JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
