    Guerry, wow...thank you. Our stories are so similar. My attacker was the band director. 1979-80. The US Supreme Court read the case in the 0ct.'88 term. Kids should have the right to attend school in safety. Lotta good that did. It was sent back down through the system. He was hired in my small hometown after a neighboring district fired him for the same cruel behaviors, which they knew about pre-hire. He was given just probation, responsibility for SOME court costs which he did NOT pay & community service - which HE got to choose for himself. He chose to give private music lessons which is where his abuse began with me. Thirty-eight yrs later, he gets arrested yet again, just this March past. His arrest photo was in my hometown paper. But, I think he must be a free man bc his bail was only $75,000, which means he had to post only $7,500 to get out. Easy for him, he opened a music store to sell instruments & the like & to also give private lessons in order to fulfill his community service. He never stopped in all these decades even though I was not the only one who sued. And, our justice system hasn't stopped him either, thanks to Covid-19. He's been free as long as we have been on lockdown. Sounds eerily familiar. If anybody sees this, & cares, plz pray for justice. Isn't it past time?

    Your testimony is amazing. I also was victimized as a child, told the right person, who in turn did nothing. As a survivor I found myself exposing abuse of others throughout my life. At first they resented the exposure. Later they thanked me. It’s a terrible thing for anyone to deal with. These sins can be justly brought into the light by the weak and the brave alike. Sometimes justice prevails! God bless you and those who endured and escaped the damaging influences of this man.

    This should be a wake up call to many parents to watch out for those wolves who pretend to be helpful to children when they are secretly doing disspeakable activities with these children and ruin their lives forever. It is even worse when it is done by the "parent , "who is supposed to protect these children. I have not experienced this kind of pain but I respectfully admire adult as well as children who come out and speak about their painful experiences. It is not easy to come out and tell the world such a story but you do. You are heroes. Your stories help many people around the world. May God give you total healing as he has given you courage.

      Hi Guerry, My name is Betsy & l too was assaulted as a child, but not by a teacher, but by my eldest brother, 7 & a half years my senior. I was 5 & l cried & screamed & begged my mother for help, but she denied my reality & the rapes continued for 8 years, until he left for college. It took me until my late 20s to self destruct enough to get therapy & admit what had happened to me.
      You tell your story with such awareness, it's obvious you've done a lot of work to heal. My heart goes out to you & all the boys that this man disregarded & disrespected in order to feed his sickness. I worry for children a great deal because l know that pedophiles are rampant everywhere in this world & l pray that we will find a way to stop the cycle.
      I'm so sorry that you endured his abuse & wish you every possible good, as well as healing. Love to you & all of the boys that survived him.

      Yes, but it also severely taints the intentions of adults who are looking to mentor kids, too. I clicked with a kid at a residential where I worked. He was so broken and just wanted connection, so we talked a lot. We played video games during free time and I would talk to him a lot in the common area. I'd take him to the horse barn for therapy. There was NEVER EVER a thought of inappropriate behavior on either end (he's gay...) But someone started spreading rumors that we were sexually involved (which made no sense because we were never alone, always other staff around and cameras). It got me fired, despite it just being nasty rumors spread by a staff who didn't like me.

      @@cheril8891 It depends. There is unhealthy interest, and there is focused interest. Coaches take a focused interest in kids who are going to excel in their sport. Tv producers take a focused interest in kids who are going to sell their product. In that context, 'too much interest' is seen as producting their investment and helping the child to succeed.
      Unhealthy interest is NOT the same thing, consistently requesting time alone, or 'secrets' or persistent physical contact, or inappriopiate conversations etc.
      Bottom line is I don't think taking an interest in seeing a young student do well who came from a troubled background and helping them as they deal with things in life is wrong.
      Of course, when a machine is invented that can read minds to determine whether an adult has sexual interest in children, then we can use that.

      @@cheril8891 I don't think so, often people that could not or ended up not having children and maybe don't have any nephews, especially elderly people, really like to be around kids. I've seen it with my eyes, my aunt became close friend with this man who lived alone with his mom and use to leave my cousin there overnight, and sometimes me and my sister too. My aunt didn't have much money at the time and worked a lot, the man was a real angel he bought my cousin toys that she couldn't have had otherwise and he and his mom were the kindest people ever. But I completely get what you're saying, I think there's much more consciousness nowadays about how widespread sexual assault is, so even though nothing happened and I have the sweetest memories of that house, now that I'm grown it really shocks me that my aunt and especially my mom that barely knew the guy (my aunt's family lived in a different city) allowed us to just stay there overnight, so many bad things could have happened. No way I'm taking those kinds of risks if I'll have children. Even though exceptions exist is definitely not worth taking the risk considering that the whole life of a harmless kid could be completely ruined. My boyfriend told me that a (male) friend of his brother offered to babysit his kids (3 and 5 years old) for free. No matter how close that friend of mine is I'm not leaving my 5 years old kid with a man who's not family or a professional on a weekly basis, and even for a professional I will always pick a woman (yes women can do it too but is FAR less common so lest's not be hypocrites). Especially if a child is 3 years old and can barely talk I'd be EXTRA careful, they're extremely vulnerable. Saving some money is not worth potentially ruining your kid's life

    My love to you, Mr. Glover. My father molested six of my sisters. I had a big mouth and would blurt things out, so I think that's why I was not molested. He only beat me to near unconsciousness on a regular basis. Once, for two or three tense moments, he put his pistol to my forehead. He cocked it. We stared at each other for what seemed like eternity and I could see my death in the reflection of his eyes. I could clearly see him struggling with his desire to pull the trigger, probably thinking "jail" or "prison" holding him back. His eyes were jet black, his face was beet red. My mother intervened and that's the only reason I'm still alive. I was 11 years old. You see, he wanted a boy and I was the last child born, a girl. In retrospect, I sometimes think had he pulled the trigger I would have been much better off. He was an animal, perverted and angry.

    We need to change the name from sexual abuse to something more telling. Abuse sounds tame for the outcome that victims endure. What people who haven't been victimized don't know is that being sexually victimized once or over and over has life altering effects on EVERYTHING. Imagine a glass vase filled with pebbles. Fill that vase with water. Every surface of every pebble is touched by water. That's what sexual abuse does to a victim's life. It touches, alters, changes, breaks, ruins and devastates everything you are and were. The damage is so encompassing that it leaves a shell of a person behind. I'm sorry this happened to you Guerry. You were robbed of your childhood AND your adulthood just because someone thought that what they wanted was more important than your life and soul. I'm 63 and my life is a train wreck due to a pedophile. I hope you find resolution in knowing that you did the right thing and stopped him and I hope you find yourself. ♥️

    Parents, YOU and only YOU are responsible for the well-being of your child. If your child has issues then you seek help, but YOU need to be the source of help to implement that. You should supervise those around them. Especially if you child begins to act out. Then something is seriously wrong. And you don't pass that issue on to others to deal with. Maybe they were naive. But you have to know they were not connected to their child's emotional well-being. Out of touch is a very dangerous place to be with your kids. Sexual predators can see and sense that a mile away and they prey on that. Know what grooming is and teach your children how the predators work. Also helping your child to have healthy self esteem and clear boundaries, this will protect them. And them knowing that if someone hurts them in anyway they are not responsible and they can come to you for protection. And you will help them deal with it. And dont just end the abuse but help and validate the child. PLEASE STAY IN TOUCH WITH THEM DAILY.

      Dear sister, please don't allow hate to rule your life. Your anger is righteous, and it often protects us during times of crisis...for a time. Then, it begins to destroy you. By allowing the hate that was transferred from your abuser onto you, you are allowing him to continue to control your life. Forgiveness is not about excusing the evil behavior that was done to you. It is about setting yourself free from the chains of anger, resentment, and hurt. Anger is a surface emotion, and it covers up what is really there: hurt, frustration, betrayal, sadness. I am a survivor as well, and I promise you that your anger is keeping you from TRULY connecting and loving others. You may think that you are OK, but if you're still angry, you will never find peace. My anger destroyed my life for many years. I am currently watching it happen to my beloved niece, who hates her mother so much that she doesn't trust anyone, she drinks heavily, and she pushes away the people who love her the most. When we invite her to come and just hang out with us, she becomes angry, thinking that we're "guilt-tripping" her for not seeing us often enough, so she hurts when given love! We tell her that an invitation is not a guilt trip; it's simply an invitation! But her rage toward her mother has become rage and distrust of the entire world. Please understand that I am saying this with loving concern. Unchain yourself from the anger. Don't let him win. I love you and I hope you at least think about what I've said.

    Seems odd to me that fathers don't sit their sons down and explain to them what to do if a man tries to engage them in sex. AND teach them how to fight, defend themselves. Case after case it's always some sweet submissive polite-do-the-right-thing child getting abused. They should be taught it's okay to be *rude* to any man that does things like that. Lots of kids don't defend themselves or fight because their parents teach them that fighting is wrong. It IS but not if it's against a man getting sexual with them, that becomes defending yourself. I'd give my son permission to slug any man that did that to him, teacher, coach or whatever.
