In the past few days, between reading books, exchanging emails and dialogues, I have been shown the angst of trying to get a new response from an old system, and it is impossible.
It is my belief, you have to completely abandon the whole machine, for the machine was set up with a mindset that can't be changed. It will not allow a new viewpoint or new outcome.
The way our legal system is working is that it is not working…at least not for the ones who have been injured. It is however, working rather well for the Lawyers who get paid to reduce the action down to nothing. It is working extremely well for the perpetrators, and it isn't working at all for the injured party.
I don't know how the laws of the land were originally set up or why or what the expected out come would be, but I would have to say it is a colossal failure.
Just in our little town on the front page of the paper, you can read time and time again how the charges are reduced, and the perp has been saved from serving time.
Yet, there is no mention about the second party, the injured party and how they feel or what it has done to their lives etc. Where are the teams of people helping to see that the real innocent are taken care of???
I am not sure you can now turn that big machine around. For the judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys all know their part well, and it is a Justice System that is running without justice and no one seems to even care anymore.
It is a system that was supposedly looking to find the truth, when the truth oftentimes is reduced and tossed out.
IF this big machine called justice worked, we would be living in a land where the prisons would be shutting down due to lack of inmates.
As a victim in the system, my justice was not served at all. And there is no one in the Justice System who didn't know what my father did, yet for some odd reason, it works completely backwards…it works supremely well as Injustice.
This system is just another system in the lives of victims that doesn't work. It runs along the same lines as their childhood homes, where they innocent are treated unjustly, and the perps lives are given the utmost attention.
I am not certain I can even get you all to understand the wheels of justice are spinning in a totally wrong direction, and there are no cries of injustice, no picketing of the court house, nothing….silence, apathy.
Each time you read in the paper another reduced sentence, a plea bargain, a this or that, and the abuser walks away with a few days in jail, you are witnessing the system abusing the child again.
And no one says a word.
It is my belief, that we can't change that big machine, but the healing of abuse will have to come from a totally different angle. Our healing and wellness can't depend upon the system serving us justice and punishing our abusers, instead we have to find another way to heal.
We have to stop putting our faith in a broken system. Stop believing that the Justice System will crack down on crimes and lessen abuse.
Instead we will have to create a whole new system outside of the laws of the land, a system that deals with the victims…the hurting innocent.
Just as the church is unwilling to deal with the abuse of innocent children, so is the law. Their jobs are clearly to rescue abusers from their truth, while leaving children alone again with no adult hearing and seeing their abusers in their true colors…instead they take the black actions and bring it up to a gentle grey…beige even.
We the people of the land, have to find a new way to reach the abused children and heal them.
A way to reach them where they feel that their truth matters.
It is these unhealed wounded children who are the ones to next walk into the courtroom. Soon, they will be standing where their abusers stand. We are feeding an endless cycle the way the courts are set up now, there is no end game.
