Parental Alienation Syndrome State of Vermont Sex Offender laws May Do More Harm Than Good! Vermont Department for Children & Families Office of the Attorney General A Survivor's Story: TBI Justice Article on TBI in the military “As the evidence continues to mount -- the daily media reports, the BBC documentary, the empirical research studies -- it becomes increasingly clear that the veiled epidemic of female sexual predators no longer can be hidden and must be brought to full public light and serve as a call for social change. As a society we require a massive change in our social attitudes to begin to address the fact that the people to whom we have most entrusted our children for centuries -- mothers, babysitters, nuns, nannies, child care workers, and teachers – include female sexual predators... Female Sexual Predators: The Veiled Epidemic

“Our research convinced us that politicians failed to do their homework by enacting popular laws without seeking expert advice on how best to prevent sexual violence.” “Most states withhold information that could prevent future tragedies and hold child welfare systems accountable, according to the authors, who were to release the findings on Capitol Hill... “Many men who were sexually abused by women feel deeply ashamed of themselves, their sexuality, and their gender. Sadly and mistakenly, they believe that there must be something profoundly wrong with them that they were abused in this way. Some men defend against feeling this way by being in a constant state of anger or rage - one of the few emotions that are socially acceptable for men.” “Mother-daughter sexual abuse wounds survivors' hearts and souls. Their mothers were often their only care-givers and the only source of much-needed care. When this care is mixed with sexual abuse, the effects are devastating. This mixture of nurturance (if there was any) and sexual abuse may have been all the parenting a survivor received. Often the father was absent or simply did not take an active role in parenting.” Female-female Abuse “The bottom line is that society finds this idea (of sexual abuse by women) very hard to accept, because if we accept that women can be abusers, then how can we ever feel safe that our children are safe?” “The most emotionally traumatic and moving evidence, however, comes not from statistical studies but from heart rending individual case reports. The best of this evidence can be found in a groundbreaking documentary aired by the British Broadcasting Corporation on October 6, 1997, titled “The Ultimate Taboo: Child Sexual abuse by women.” The transcript of this documentary is available on the web site of The Canadian Children’s Rights Council which notes: “This was a vivid and horrific programme in which the victims of sexual abuse by women told disturbing stories of emotional and physical damage. I think people find it so difficult to see that women sexually abuse children because the whole view of women is of nurturers, carers, protectors - people who do anything to look after children - and they see the women as victims rather than enemies or perpetrators of any abuse. Basically, the answer is “yes, it is the tip of the iceberg.” It also is fair to ask: “How do we know?” It is difficult to know with precision because female sexual predators have been a politically incorrect topic and thus hidden from public view. However, we do know that the few professionals who have worked in the area universally acknowledge massive underreporting by the boy and girl victims of female sexual predators and, even when reports of female sexual molestation emerge, they are met with disbelief by parents and police. |
