What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done when no one was watching?

View all responses

Destroyed the paperwork I had on Greg. And chose to forgive him.

I went to the police with the hard-drive he had used and they didn’t care.

I told them I was one of his victims at 6. They didn’t care.

My uncle took the harddrive to check it and promptly lost it.

So… I’ve been failed on both ends.

By family and by legal authorities.

So I got rid of all the paperwork I had and opted to just… give up.

“Teaching young girls about sex’” was his profile line. Along with a picture of his naked, erect penis while he was in the shower.

… the police women I spoke to told me he was probably joking.

So yeah. Failed by legal authorities.

I guess pedophiles aren’t that high on the radar. That hard-drive that was lost was full of photos and videos he had collected… including videos of infants…

Greg will continue to be a pervert for as long as his slimy self is alive… but I can’t continue to cling to it.

Forgiving the man who preyed on me a s a child.

… it seems brave to me.
