"Charlie" let the girls be altar servers. What a great way to get to us all. The more people speak up and speak out, the less chance there will be more victims. T, I wish you - and all survivors of sexual abuse - love, healing and a happy life. Do whatever you need to heal (as long as it doesn't cause harm to another of course). You are not alone!

I have only 3 close girlfriends who have not been raped. I believe that the rape of women and children problem is systemic and far more widespread than most people believe. Women are not "safe" in our culture, let alone, in third world cultures either. Worse still children are the easiest targets for sick men. This legacy of paternalism and religion has been abuse. I sincerely believe that until women achieve full equality with men whatever steps we take to correct this injustice will be futile.
