I know there are rules against posts about suicide - rightly so.

I posted in response to someone else's stating that everything happens for a reason. I respectfully disagreed, posting many examples I have seen over many years of children being abused and tortured, and asking the question how can these things go on and people think it happens for a reason.

I know the things I said were graphic, and I did mark it as triggering. Can you tell me why it was taken down on the thread, when is enough enough?

I think the fact that there are many folks on the boards who suffered childhood trauma/abuse, suffer from PTSD, etc., probably contributed to their decision. We need to protect vulnerable people on the forum. While I agreed with your basic point on that thread, the examples you illustrated were so graphic that they made me wince...& I haven't suffered any of those things. Please don't take offense.

Sorry. Wrong thread.

I'm not offended.
So the exercise here is to allow child abuse to continue because it's too disturbing to face up to head on? I'm not saying that's what you think at all, I'm just making a point. Child abuse is the biggest domestic problem in this country and people prefer to bury their head in the sand BECAUSE it's so disturbing, allowing it to continue.

Statistically, everyone here knows a child who's being abused. Right now. Victims rarely tell, so you don't know it, but if you learn the signs to look for, who knows, you might be responsible for ending that child's torment.

The mod who removed the thread should have PM'ed you to discuss why it was taken down.

It sounds as if you did find the post you were looking for (which we haven't removed, or done anything else to.)

Those who have been abused, and/or still are being abused, are welcome to post here about their experiences and seek support. Those who live with, work with, or are in relationships with survivors of abuse are welcome to post about their own experiences However, this would not be an appropriate place to announce, for example, "Hey, there are children out there getting abused! What are you, and you, and you going to do about it?"

Werewoman I checked and your post is still there.

I am with you re child abuse often tolerated and normalized in a society. It’s quite sad
