Answer 1

Kids sometimes get a rough start in this world,that is for sure.
Against a maniac abuser,what show have children got??
There are alot of mixed up adults who were abused as kids,as well as children still getting abused these days.
I was abused in my home environment,and I dealt with life
which involved abuse and illness in the family-by blocking it out / bottling it up. It is only now many many years later that I am learning to let it go-by opening up and confronting my past.
As a child I had nobody to turn to or to talk to. I didn't even see it as a problem or as wrong really,I just didn't think about it, I shut it away. And loyalty is another thing, when I was a kid you didn't report family members. And you didn't question being beaten or humiliated or molested at home. You just lived with it, and it was life-as I knew it anyway.
But the worst part is the child who is abused grows up very mixed up,can lack trust, and some even carry on the abuse that they were given-but to others and it follows a chain reaction. But any person who is abused know's that they didn't like it, so they can stop themselves from continuing it themselves.
With reporting abuse either as a child or as a grown up-years later,well that is refacing the situation. As well as bringing up a whole lot of past truama,with the risk of being disbelieved in court. Or seeing the person who did it get off with what they did,and seeing them again etc. And there are cases all the time and they are dragged through the courts. Some get a fair case,and others can go on for ages prolonging and reliving the past.
You should have no trouble getting abuse victims for your book, there are plenty about. Unfortunately many have gone on to abuse their kids or other people. It is a mixed up world,when the weaker members of society have to be treated like that. When they should trust adults,adults abuse them.

Answer 2

I was abused sexually by my step dad, i told a teacher who called the police,he was arrested my mother had a break down and we all got stuck in care,my step dad got stuck in jail for four years and got out after 2 years 8 months no parole because he said he never did it when DNA said other wise i was nine years old test prove things.
i refused to talk about it wanted no help from no one and left care at 16 years old to live with my then bloke now husband.

on my 18th birthday i was given 3 grand because of what had happened to me compensation the cash meant nothing to me i did not enjoy spending it and infact gave 2000 pounds of it away

do not remember much of how i was treated guess i block it out,
do not remember much about being a child either and growing up, it feels like i was born aged 16 and that is when my real life started

Answer 3

i was dumped! as a one year old child and spent the first year of my life in and out of hospital with pneumonia and vairious 'related' respratory diseases. and the second year in a childs home. i suppose that counts as some kind of abuse. but luckily for me eventualy my grand father was given guardianship. in 1950 when i was two and a half years of age. if not for that i dread to think of what outher kind of abuse i might have suffered......it took me a long time before i would speak to my mother. (eventualy i did! at the age of eight ) . my dad was a good man. he saw that my upbringing was supported finnancialy. and my dad and i became very close when i grew up.....however i never became realy close to my mom. (shes now dead) i suppose the truth is that what ever abuse we suffer must be filed away as yesterday. life is too short to hang on to the pain outhers put us through.
