The conundrum of abuse is that the pedophile can't stop and the victim can't speak…neither can nor will change its pattern.
Fear holds one at bay while addiction grasps the other, around and around they go, spewing forth their toxic behavior, maddeningly stuck repeating and handing down their insidious ways.
Who is more to blame, the one who is abusing unchecked or the many who know and say nothing to the law? Who is more responsible for the endless victims that one man, in a life span of 80 years, has been allowed to roam freely within his family, church and society?
I know he is the one who is doing the abuse, BUT what of the many who know and do nothing? What of the preachers who are more worried about carrying out the laws of the church, are they not enabling him to continue? Isn't their ignorance a huge factor in him being able to abuse, unchecked?
How is it that so many whisper his name and keep it quiet, while the latest victim falls into his grasp?
When we will start acting in accordance to what will save the next victim?
At times it feels like there is a strong vortex of swirling co-conspirators leading this sexual abuse….with the silence being part of the problem as much as the perpetrator! The only innocent I see are the children…with no one willing/able or daring to make waves, to cause 'trouble', while trouble enters into the lives of small defenseless children.
There are times I feel I will be swallowed up with the deafening sound of silence, when there should be voices raised and cries heard forever.
My head hurts trying to figure out a way to break the muted voices…
The only cries are the newest victim…silently in a world where no adult dares to enter.
And yet I know that for some victims they have no memories. But, if you know, if you remember, if you have heard stories from victims, the silence needs to be broken.
Without victims coming forth and speaking out, the cycle of abuse will go on.
Give the names to Tom Rosemurgy…give our children a chance to be innocent, to live lives without the horrible affects of abuse. Give them examples of standing out loud…of speaking the truth…even if you are afraid. Isn't it better for the adults to be afraid, than to have children living in fear of their next act of abuse?
It is only by breaking the silence does innocence have a chance…save the wild joy and love of life of a child…save their self esteem and self love.
I wonder, if it as hard to break the silence as it is for the abuser to stop abusing?
What is harder?
Is it really that hard to speak? Call Tom Rosemurgy, even if your legs are shaking, even if you are spit less in fear. Call and save the loving spirit of a child….
