The research has been done, that's why the western world has continued protecting children from predators.
Can you post some links for the rest of the class so we can go through the research together?
Forget the boffins and their "Theories"
How about my research and experience?
As someone who worked with Children in Care on a Mental Health Footing when younger, I have read the case notes, and tried to help children lead a
"Normal" life after a range of both pre birth disorders and genetic problems, and those who have suffered abuse of all kinds, mental, physical and
sexual.
In my personal life to I have had friends who were sexually abused as children.
The suicide attempts.
The inability to ever trust and form close bonds again in adulthood.
The wanting to please others as its normalised at their own expense.
The self harming those cuts, scars and head banging on walls are REAL and are not created by being "Loved"
The Drug and Alcohol addictions
The cycle carrying on as they feel "Powerless" and have to therefore dominate the weak themselves to get back at the perpetrator, carrying on the
cycles.
The Prostitution
The Rage and Anger episodes on high intensity scales many times a day for many many years afterwards.
The Guilt.
Get a grip, and of your mind and reality, and not of any children please!
