I have a four month old son after a c section and I cannot stop thinking about the trauma of recovering from a major surgery, the complications and worry over preeclampsia, a baby in the NICU AND THEN worrying about this on top of it. the trauma for that poor mom. This is awful. Those first couple weeks are really…

they went on to date on and off for years and the *rumors* are that he is father of her two children. even if he’s not the father, they continue to have a close relationship so i dont think it was him. 

i am not sure the statute is up though. in many states for child rape there is no limitations.

i just checked and it has been eliminated. but you are correct. the victim being dead does complicate it

I NEED TO READ IT NOW HOW DID I EVER MISS IT

what a cool helpful comment.

I do not convict as again, i am not a judge. all i do is listen, believe, support. it requires me to believe what people tell me as truth. thats all. like most counselors. again, not a judge. not an attorney. i dont need to question the veracity of anyone’s experiences and neither does anyone else EXCEPT judges,…

but see, “innocent until proven guilty” is a legal term. we are not judges and juries. we dont have to do that. because essentially, by saying that you are saying you do not believe victims. i am a rape crisis counselor. i think i have a better idea than most about what does and does not make it to trial. just because…

again, it doesnt hurt ANYONE to say, as a citizen “I believe survivors” literally. doesn’t hurt anyone. but you know what does? to assume these survivors are lying. that does damage. I bet you believe Trump’s denial as well.

it’s easy to believe what i believe because simply, i believe survivors. i am not a judge. i am not a cop. i am not an attorney. it doesnt do anyone any harm for me to say “i believe survivors” its quite simple. all it does it make survivors feel believed and supported. as i have said above, multiple times... the 2-8%…

its important to remember that that is the DOJ’s definition of false reporting. i think its quite low, considering our culture’s assumption that false report rates are much much higher. see jag off JustBecauseYouCan assuming a woman that he never met, and knows nothing of must be lying. because full stop, it hurts…

I am not

Is a city in Pennsylvania? what about Pittsburgh?

boo fucking hoo. 2-8% OF REPORTS ARE FALSE. i work in this system. i now just how much more difficult it is for survivors that it is the “accused”. like it honestly cant be THAT damaging as our fucking PRESIDENT has been accused and ONE YEAR AGO LAST WEEKEND, admitted to sexual assault on recording. Or look at our pro…

i assure as someone who works with rape survivors, this “money grab” happens far less often than people like you assume. and if these jag offs arent guilty, they should go through the court. they know they are so they settle. the DOJ puts false rape accusations at 2-8% so the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

the #1 date rape drug in the U.S is alcohol. its easy to get, it’s cheap and we take it willingly and are encouraged to take it in excess by our society. thats one of the many reasons these “products” are bullshit and i believe do more harm than good. 86% of the time we are attacked by those known to us so this…

no you have. i am just telling you that IN MY OPINION it is shitty when someone polices others bodies and i think its a shitty thing to do. you believe, for some fucking reason, the opposite. and what is your “reason and evidence” for this not being a shitty thing to say? do tell. do you have studies about how its not…

i meant your comment made no sense. but what you are not understand is that we are telling you “this is shitty” and you are like “no it isnt”. and i get to be right because it is my opinion. you’re entitled to your shitty opinion and i am entitled to my LIVED EXPERIENCE with people like jujy and my opinion based on…

yes i read this comment when you posted it the first time. but what i am saying is that “its a bit much” is gross and body policing. stop fighting back when people tell you that you are being offensive. just go ahead and say “i didnt think of it as offensive. my apologies” we are trying to tell you its offensive. you…

heavily tattooed woman who wears mostly black and has short colored black hair and wears ridiculous obnoxious glasses. also over the age of 30. soooooooo many comments from older women who are “concerned” for me and my looks. like jujumonkey is concerned for Amber’s for no fucking reason.

exactly. she made a choice now leave her alone. she made the choice FOR HER. not FOR YOU.
