Peculiar Perversions

There is no excuse: child molestation is the murder of an innocent soul, for that soul will never be able to grow and mature into the adult that it was meant to be. We all know victims of childhood sexual molestation, whether they have told you or not, you know them. Some of them have a strong survival instinct and persevere through the shame and confusion to become productive adults: others are destroyed, they are the ones for whom the pain and humiliation were too much. They are often consumed by drugs and alcohol or they become prostitutes to complete their pain and be ground down into the gutters of life.

These broken birds were damaged and preyed upon so that some sick twisted bastard could have a few minutes of pleasure by compromising the life of a child. If there is a hierarchy of sick perverted bastards, this type of scum is among the lowest sickest human beings on the face of the earth.

Jerry Sandusky, the alleged serial rapist of boys, claims that he didn’t have sex with these boys; no, not at all, he just showered with them, touched their legs, and rough housed with them. There is something wrong with a man who defends his actions with such antics. He assumes it is perfectly natural for a middle aged man to shower with adolescent boys and to touch their legs in a non-sexual way. He said this in an interview to try and gain sympathy. The problem is, this constitutes sexual perversion to most of us and only a pervert would see it as normal behavior.

Sandusky claims that he likes children; perhaps, he is just a little too affectionate when he hugs them in the shower and touches their legs. Its all been a horrible mistake; he is just a soft pervert, not an utterly despicable sexual deviant.

It is time for all of us to realize these perverts are out there and they are always ready to attack. We must be ready to offer a helping and appropriate hand or to call the police. Be ready to offer assistance or a listening ear if necessary.

Once upon a time, I was able to provide assistance. It wasn’t dramatic and I should have done more. A young teenage girl rode up while I was working at a horse show and literally holding on to a horse. She said some men were following her and making inappropriate comments. I told her to stand next to me and they would not bother her. They suddenly lost interest and found other things to occupy their weak minds. I asked her where her parents were, it turned out her dad was the manager of the show. I told her we will go talk to him. We walked over the office and related the story to her father. The workers were promptly told to straighten up or ship out.

Perhaps, I should have called the cops immediately. I’m not sure. I was hopelessly outnumbered if the situate would haven turned ugly, but thankfully, my presence was enough to defuse the incident, sometimes just a little help can make a difference. Most perverts are cowards and facing an adult is more than they can handle.

I will promise to always be there to help a child. If everyone would make that commitment, our children would be much safer.
