My son was abused by my brother

People who abuse children

Child Abuse

Why do people who abuse children, once they have served their sentence, receive assistance from family and friends to have a normal life, whilst their victims/families remain to suffer?



Fourteen years ago, I brought a case against my brother for abusing my youngest son. He was ten when we found out and it had apparently been going on for a year. My family abandoned us and still support my brother.

20-1-2008Abuse of anybody is wrong. But for god sake don't perpetuate the crime by making the child feel like a victim. Stuff happens and the state will not compensate you for it, If you foster the attitude that the victim is a victim you are doing harm to them. If a grownup has sex with a child.

26-10-2007I think some of these comments are way out of line. Have you forgotten, people that abuse children have rights and you should begin to recognise this.

26-10-2007the law cannot serve real justice in cases of child abuse. Kidnap them, and tattoo "child abuser" on their forehead, after breaking some limbs. THEN inform the police.jk12
