      In East Asian countries, children walk to school themselves. It's actually a rite of passage in Japan, something parents can't interfere with. They walk, take the bus, or take the train on their own or with a group of friends.

      In my country people who sexually abuse children usually get two years for their crimes. Yet people who use or drug dealers go for years and years. (Remember , people don’t want to deal drugs, it’s ALWAYS a sociological problem when people either have to turn to dealing when they were trying to just feed their daughter , or they just end up dealing drugs. Unless, they’re a pharmaceutical company and therefore legal to overprescribe opiates to the point of a state of emergency in countries like the USA -basically a capitalistic induced genocide by certain companies. (Pharmaceutical companies aren’t immoral, they’re necessary , but there’s one company named Purdue which was essentially solely responsible and knowingly
      Started the opiate crisis

      Also, countless studies show that p*dophilia cannot be cured or fixed. The only thing they can do is choose to not act on their urges, and those people will never make that choice.
      An unfortunate consequence of the laws saying where offenders can live is that a lot of them end up homeless, which makes it impossible to keep track of them. We just had the most precious 5-year-old baby girl BRUTALLY assaulted and murdered because she and this monster were both living in the same homeless camp two blocks away from the elementary school I work at. It’s a big thing here because SO MUCH went wrong prior to the murder. I don’t think these predators should be allowed to have their own homes. I think they should have to live in highly supervised group homes and have some sort of intelligent gps monitors that make loud alarms if they get near schools, playgrounds, etc. So basically I’m saying they should just stay in jail.

    My sister became a special victim's unit detective after witnessing the hell I went through with the detectives & prosecutors after I was raped. She wanted the victims she worked with to know that she would do everything in her power to fight for them and with them because she hated watching what I went through - I gave up. It was too degrading & messed with me mentally, emotionally & physically! My case never made it to trial, hell, I'd be shocked if charges were ever brought against my attacker! But my experience drove her to become a police officer with the goal of SVU detective. She was in SVU for years (in the United States) & had to take a step back from SVU because most of her cases never made it to court. She felt defeated every time she'd do the work, promise victims that she'd help them get justice, then have the prosecutor say there wasn't enough for charges or a prosecutable case. She got to the point of consistently feeling beaten down by the prosecutors & she could no longer emotionally handle having to face the victims with such awful news & seeing the confusion and betrayal in each victim's eyes! Most of her cases never made it to standing charges or court! So now she's the defense tactics instructor for her agency, plus she volunteers at the women's shelter teaching self-defense classes. She doesn't say it, but I'm certain she keeps in contact with those victims she couldn't help get justice and some kind of a sense of security. I know it still kills her. It seems like victims have to prove the validity of the crimes perpetrated against them... they have to prove they're being honest, that these awful, awful things happened to them, while perpetrators can claim they're the "true victim", being targeted by their accuser for whatever reason, without any sort of proof & somehow are believed more than their victims! Heaven forbid they be seen as the manipulative monsters they truly are!
    I wish justice truly was blind and that those victimized had some semblance of power in fighting for what's truly right for them, & finding power in fighting to protect others from the same fate! I wish there was actual balance!
    Honestly, I wish people like these monsters didn't exist, didn't hurt, didn't like hurting others, & didn't take what isn't theirs to take!

      It’s “ allow the damage, make mental health care so hard to peruse or afford, the turning of street drugs, then being caught with charges, maybe even bring down some large king pen”.
      It’s proven pedos can’t be fixed nor healed but people can stop selling - it’s proven that an attraction to minors at first may be assault/SA and after being caught - what happens - MURDER to not have a witness. It is absolutely baffling this issue seems to be global

      Your lense is not Asian (Korean, Chinese, whichever nationality this is). You are seeing from an English perspective (American, British, whichever nationality you are).
      I am NOT validating, but when you look from THEIR perspective, certain things start to make sense. It can be argued, your take is racist, because you lack the (seeming) capacitance to see from their view. I'm NOT going to say that, because it's not wholly racist. Could just be naivity, or lack of understanding. Try viewing the legal system from their side, and you see HOW this can happen. Still NOT a good thing to happen, but you can BEGIN to understand a perspective foreign to your own

    This prosecutor needs to be brought up on charges of abuse. He obviously wanted her to slip up while retelling what had happened to her. Did he enjoy listening to what this poor little girl went through? I know the law states 'a person is innocent until proven guilty', but once their guilt is proven, it is not stated anywhere that they should be treated with dignity. For some criminals they should be treated like criminals were back in they days of colonisation. Being an Australian and living in a country that was partially settled as a penal colony, some modern day criminals need to suffer that kind punishment. Even some judges and lawyers who allow vermin, like this one, to get away without any punishment or to get out of prison should be treated as criminals. We are told, as human beings we have evolved. It is clear some humans haven't and never will.

      I was wondering really hard in the beginning about this. And why it had to happen 4 times.
      After careful consideration, and if we exclude vile reasons such as "this prosecutor is just a sadist" and similar reasons there is the mildest form: too old to work with electric gadgets, hence also so strict with her posture (I don't know his age at the time, this is just what I would like to believe in his "defence")
      Or
      He made her repeat it on purpose to amp up his video recording. There is a possibility that "this recorder doesn't work" is a lie and that he knew the longer this little girl has to sit, the more she will look miserable on screen, making the whole case easier to win. This is still really really bad because it is torture on its own. But some people are so eager to win a case that they only see the victims as a tool, not as a client of theirs. 😢
      Having that case must have boosted his credentials (at least he and maybe the judge thought like that)

      it's actually very on brand and even supportive of male domination/male supermacy to support violent men who target women and girls. It's built in protective system for male dominated institutions. Keeping the people you are subjucating or trying to exploit in fear and terror makes them easier to control. All men are not violent rapist, many have pure hatred for rapist or pedophiles and violence against women but all men do benefit from women and girls being afraid of them and "respecting" the potential danger they pose (even if men do not want this type of fear adn "respect" from women and girls they still will get it and will benefit from it wether they realise it or not). Keeping women and girls in fear and terror makes them more likely to obey any if not most men, they will do things to avoid angering or hurting men even if it comes to their own cost, They will be less likely to challenge male domination which is important for the patriarchy and why they even support, enable and protect violence against women and girls (or in general female presenting bodies, because men who are gay, or seem effeminate and trans women due to their asssociation with feminity get targeted as well)@@squizzyicetea This act of allowing women and girls to be stalked, harrassed, raped etc. is part of gender based terrroriz to keep women and girls in fear and under mens thumb to make women fear men and obey them and also need men (always say women need men to protect them, leaving out the fact the greatest danger to women and girls is men in the first place). and so women have to be subject and "submissive" to men for protection. Rape is also a means to torture people and show women their "place". Just like stephanie said the predator more then anything enjoyed the pain and chaos he created in her life and the families life. It's a means to show power and contorl. One of the many things they drill into boys head is to dominate to "prove" their manliness and worth and who and what are they expected to dominate? women and land as "resources" and also other men to put themselves above them. Pedophiles and predators are a side effect and consequence of the sick teachings of male supremacy. People dont understand what kind of sick minds you create when you teach peopel that they are superior beings to half the planet no matter who or what they are and that violence and specifially sexual-/violence against women and girls (who are not even presetned as living beings but lesser objects) is a means to show your power and exist to be be enjoyed and used because males are "superior". Yes patriarchy is not the only reasons for mentally twisted people exist who hurt others and yes there are female predators and male victims but there is trastically huge differnce in how many male to female predators exist for a reason. And before someone says i hate men or think this is who men are. I am even more angry and distrubed because I know this sick behaviour is NOT inherent in men or boys even though some people like to act like it is "boys will be boys" nonsense and "male urges" nonsense. This sick behaviour is taught and enabled by parents, , society and medial (kids learn from subteldy and unspoken rules as well).

      This is one of the worst flaws in the law system in almost every country. The vast majority of drug charges of individuals didn't pose any danger to a person but the consenting "offenders" themselves. Rehab availability and a generally improved education on drugs is almost always the right way to deal with this topic, yet people get stolen years off of their lives being opput into a cell instead. Meanwhile the hypocrisy lives on with one of the, factually speaking, most dangerous drugs out there, Alcohol, still being socially accepted and even advertised. It's so backward and unfortunate to see e.g. CP offenders getting a slap on the wrist while (especially in east asian countries like japan and SK) getting caught with a tab of acid could possibly mean to face over a decade in prison. I'm just somewhat hopeful to see a change when looking at the drug policies of portugal or the netherlands, where in the latter legal drug testing has been established and drugs such as cannabis and psilocybin are legal with mainly positive results for the country's economical and social aspect

    I'm not surprised, I am also a survivor of SA and since I have spoken up I have been shunned and gaslighted while the "friend" who assaulted me is still friends with my entire family. I just want to understand how this ideology reached every single culture on earth? Why do victims get treated like this all over the world?!

      ​​@@Sahil24980I don't think you understand how scary these situations can feel for SA survivors. This one, especially.
      The assaulter has maintained a good relationship with OP's family even AFTER OP told them what they did.
      Speaking up once could very well make any SA survivor feel more vulnerable, and lead to further psychological and emotional anguish.
      To think of trying to speak up a second time after the way it went the first time in OP's experience is an extremely stressful thought to say the least. They could be afraid to lose the remaining support they have in their life.
      Unfortunately, the people who should be supportive don't always play their role well in the lives of others.

I’m 30 years old now, and it is still a learning experience. Whenever I hear of or see children with bags, it blows my mind.

      Now I know why most women in Korea and around the world are defensive and do everything to protect themselves. Just imagine men ignoring responsibilities cos of pregnancy these same men are against abortion, they rape and yet are against abortion the irony of life. They cry femininity but forget they made us so. God bless all women and females around the world
