How many people have been molested or had someone attempt to molest you and by whom?

Question

My huband and I got into a debate about this subject. So, I thought I'd go to everyone and see what they experienced. Were you ever molested or has anyone ever attempted to molest you? Was is someone you know? Was it a male or female that did this? How old were you?

Just so people know, this is not an attempt, per say, to settle a debate. My husband does not understand why I do not trust any man around my children. I am a victim, myself and that is why I feel so strongly about the topic. My husband feels that I'm being unreasonable. I want to show him that there are other people out there that have experienced what I did. There were two attempts on me by people who had close connection with our family.

Forgot, one more ? Did you report it? Wondering how many of these cases go unreported. I never told anyone what had happened to me till I was an adult.

Answer 1

I was 12, when my step-brother, who I thought was my friend molested me. I knew something was wrong but I guess when you're young and trusting you think there's no evil in the world. It's the people who you least expect who would molest your kids, probably a relative, or family member. Most often they gain their trust by showing them attention they never received before and use it against them. They do it because it was done to them, If I were you, I would watch the kids around family members, especially in-laws just to be careful, good luck!

Answer 2

None, but my friend has had someone attempt to molest her and her sister. She was 13, her sister was 10 or 11. It was a male. It was a random guy on the street.

Answer 3

A girl kissed me when I was a boy.

But I did not know what to do!

My mother slapped me for that.

Answer 4

Lewd, crude and rude.....you want people to answer in this format to settle an arguement between you too..........
