I was abused when I was in 2nd grade, didn't realize it until I was in my early 20's. I remembered it happening, just never connected the dots that it was abuse. Just thought it was a part of my childhood. It's crazy how our brains work to save us from ourselves sometimes.

I wonder how many of us researchers were abused. I believe I was by older boys in the neighborhood when I was about six...

A lot of people, particularly on retarddit, try to derail the conversation about PG making it political or a "baseless conspiracy." But the fact is, pedophilia is rampant. I'd say most people either have been, or know someone, who has been sexually abused as a child. And now we are realizing we arent 1) alone 2) crazy 3) complacent anymore. But more than that, we don't stand for it happening to others, not without justice. We are fighting for others but we are also fighting for ourselves.

This isn't some occupy wall street bullshit with dread-locked protesters and a faceless enemy corporations, these are kids going missing and every day we put pressure on, the chance of a child being hurt is lessened. That's something to rally around.
