Home is the last place people like to think CSA happens, but it is the first place that needs to be safe for a child. Time for all to learn of this crisis of abuse dismissed. My thanks to @grantwyeth.bsky.social for helping all to understand it to end it!

Being “unfounded” doesn’t equate no actual abuse for so many abuses cases are dismissed and minimized! Instead of naming abuse, the cases get closed. Look at #TommyValva. The cost of ongoing abuse is millions to countries, death of children & leads to generational abuse.

Why Do We Allow Child Marriage in America?
I have seen one work & it ended in divorce on purpose at 18. It was a loop hole for a system not working and an escape from a named abusive parent.
Every other child marriage is abusive to me.
How can CA allow this?

The cost of neutrality & “pro-contact” with a named abusive parent by dismissing abuse, the victim, the protective parent (blaming them) helps nobody including the abuser. It weakens society, destroys trust & encourages ongoing abuse. Courage to name the abuse & protect is needed!
