Yes, I shudder too, because in spite of Les' confession that he molested children in the Philippines, he is still walking the streets (and trailer park) a free man.
And it wasn't for lack of trying. We worked so very hard to get a different outcome.
MKs, when NTM assures you that your abuser has been reported to law enforcement, don't assume that your perp will soon be behind bars. Most of the crimes we have discussed here on Fanda Eagles were committed years ago and far away. Laws making crimes against children overseas illegal in the US were not yet in place, so there are some very real limitations on what can presently be done in the US court system.
This, in my opinion, makes it even more imperative that NTM do the right thing by the hundreds of adult survivors of child abuse who are asking to be heard. Don't hide behind the excuse that you've turned things over to the legal authorities. That does not in any way insure that justice will actually be done.
There ARE things YOU could be doing, NTM.
And you're not doing them.
