When people[on this site] ask for advice after they have been abused or raped I find it very irritating and so rude when I see people answer telling them to go to the police and report it.
Having been raped by boy who is friends with all of my friends and sexually abused by a family friend, there is no way I could have reported their behavior without being even more abused by my 'friends' and family.
Those people who answer saying, go to the police, it's the only thing that will help, chances are you havn't been in their position so don't judge.
My counsellor told me that going to the police was almost a waste of time for me, because it would be my word against his. That less than 5% of all reported rapes actually are heard in court and less than 1% are found guilty.
I don't blame any victim for not reporting it. Most of these attacks are one off. It's about the victim receiving the help that they need!
What are your thoughts?
