I am a sexual abuse victim as a toddler. I am 60 and I still have cPTSD and need counseling. I cut off all local news to help with depression and anxiety and only read what I choose, yet in the past week there are literally over a dozen new cases with attempted kidnappings, peepers in bathrooms and showers, multiple rapes, CSAM from various religious organizations, and lawsuits going back decades. It seems like a pandemic of predators is happening.
There has also been a cultural and legal shift such that family and community members are less likely to cover it up and more likely to report it than a few decades ago.
Exactly, back in the day you just had the neighbourhood pedo. Now people actually do something. Louis CK has a good bit about it.
