Lex, wanting to protect children from abuse is a good thing. I don't know right now how much confidence I have in the system. I recently reported a case of a child who told us about his father beating him, and the child asked us to tell his mother to make his father stop doing that. I don't know if it will help, because the mother got mad at the child for telling, and now he's just not going to talk about it anymore. At least the child know that someone cares though, and that someone knows it isn't okay for him to be abused.

Maybe your T was trying to help you to understand the reasons why abuse happens. It doesn't excuse it or make it okay, but you might be able to cope with it better if you are more able to understand.
