It has been 3 years now since I found out that my adopted son had abused children–my children.
Child abuse should never happen, but when it does the survivors need to know that it is not their fault.
For years I lived a full life unaware of the abuse. Terrible legacy. But for the past 3 years my children have lived in safety and have begun to heal.
I shudder to think about the past, but more than that I shudder to think what would have happened without our concerted efforts to bring out the truth.
The truth is Charles will NEVER be safe with children. We should not give predators access to any children.
It is not worth the risk
Not worth the heartbreak

E–where do you think they should live? (Not a provoking question. I really am thinking about this myself. Jail term forever? Wear tracking device until forever?)
I would love to say collars, lists, depo provera shots.
The simplest and hardest answer is the answer I veer toward–once an abuser/NEVER safe with kids
Families need to warn their kids.
We need to accept the system is a failure and assume the nicest people could be abusers
If it were up to me I would make them wear a permanent bracelet or even a tattoo. Something recognizable that says–not safe
