    I'm sorry but I can't imagine not being able to notice that my 14 year old daughter slept in a boy's room while I was in the house. Your parents failed you there. I would be super aware if the kids are not doing anything bad. I'm so proud of you to speak up.

      @@taylorm1997 that's what I understand more. You don't see your kids 24/7 but then, at that party with family friends? That's when a parent should be aware more. At least to look at night if your kid is sleeping in the room she's supposed to sleep.

They wouldn't have to cut ties if they noticed that she is in his room and tell her to go to hers. Maybe they thought they are the cool parents that let kids do what they want...

    I don’t think accepting alcohol from him was a stupid decision. Sometimes, you force yourself to act overly nice towards someone who’s just violated you to ensure they don’t have any ill will towards you and assault you even further. I think it’s sort of a defence mechanism: like you played dead when he was touching you, you also played nice when he was offering you a drink. I’m so incredibly sorry this happened to you, don’t blame yourself for ANY OF IT

    • @ARussianAbroad
      @ARussianAbroad หลายเดือนก่อน +42

      Also, the way your parents handled it is absolutely DESPICABLE. Asking why someone would drink right after they’d been assaulted is so not the point. I’m so incredibly sorry, they should have IMMEDIATELY cut ties with that family, filed a report and gotten you into therapy

      Also she was so young. People need to stop acting like teen girls think like 30 year old women, they make bad decisions and we also aren't even properly taught about these situations or how to avoid them. I was drxgged and rxped at 15, it's still primarily a secret, and I was mol*sted at 13. When it came to the drugging, I was alone with friends at a music festival, I was SO vulnerable, I thought drinking was a way to force myself to have fun and be pleasant to be around, I didn't expect to be drugged, it wasn't a strange drink handed to me, it was an entire bottle of liquor that was almost empty that they were taking sips from. It didn't seem possible it was drugged so quick but I was buzzed, 15, and just didn't know I shouldn't have done it, I was naive. I was taught "act like a b*tch, have a b*tch face and men won't approach you." "Don't accept a drink from a stranger" it was always if you're drinking it's your fault, if you're wearing something attracting men it's your fault(I was in a full length t shirt and shorts), all the typical stuff. We aren't even taught it's exactly wrong, we are taught that men can change, we shouldn't blame them for their faults, teens are tempting and innately s*xy with nice t*ts, it's hard for them to control themselves.

    • @borntoslay3996

      I believe it was partially her fault. She had caught him touching her breasts and she was sober. I would've definitely ran out super scared, but she DECIDED to get drunk with him and stay the night in his room. He probably thought she was open to sexual things (he had been talking sexually to her for hours and she didn't leave or do anything to make it stop) and attempted forcing it a little, afterwards he gave up, as always. It wasn't rape. Rape is to force a girl to the ground, rip off her clothes and use her body for pleasure. This was barely an attempt at getting sexual. I have a friend who acts the same way as Camryn did. She'll put herself in vulnerable situations with men, allowing them to talk dirty to them and she will stay the night at theirs and get heavily drunk, then when they start getting sexual she'll start saying no and play the victim that they kissed her or put their hands down her pants and it was non-consensual. I'm sorry, you send mixed signals to men until they're literally iniciating the act, then you back off and play the victim. I don't care if she was a stupid teen, so was the boy trying to get sexual. And yes, teenagers make stupid mistakes. It wasn't rape and it was partially her fault. It's not like the boy grabbed her forcefully out of nowhere and ignored her screams, all he did was try to get her horny by grabbing her hand and putting it down her pants, she said no and he stopped. Then when she decided to stay the night and continue drinking anyways he probably thought it didn't offend her (what else do you believe after she literally sleeps with you willingly) and tried again the next morning, to which she started crying and he left, giving up. How is that even assult? Girl if you don't want to see yourself in those situations, don't put yourself in those situations. What he did was wrong, and the blame is on him, but come on, you are not an innocent little girl walking by, you stayed there and allowed it to get that far, not once but three times, then played the victim.

    My heart is touched by your story. I actually got quite emotional listening to it. I don’t know how you got yourself to finally talk about it because I’m 32 and I have been SA more than once as a kid to being a teenager to my early 20s & I’ve tried talking about it, I’ve tried telling someone, but no one even to this day, does not believe anything I’ve opened up about. My therapist I had was probably the only one who listened and told me to start journaling but I can’t even do that! Every time I get to the things that have happened to me in my life, I freeze and I can’t get it out… I thought by now I could but it’s impossible… I carry this weight and I honestly don’t know what else to do with it. I’ve become so dissociated and isolated, I feel embarrassed admitting to this because I feel like at my age I should be healed or whatever and that’s not the case for me. I wanna write a book on my story of my life but I can’t even get it down on paper… I’m tired of carrying this weight I’m exhausted.

Your brain was in survival mode plus it was the brain of a child, so never question why you did the things you did because they were deemed the best actions to take by your brain at that time. I'm glad you were brave enough to be vulnerable on here and that you're looking out for your kids as well as they're still young themselves. I'm happy to hear you've processed this in therapy and have healed quite a bit because that's a hard thing to do.

    hey cam, i just saw this video in my recommended and clicked because i sadly was also sexually assaulted at 12 years old and the adults in my life also failed me. i just wanted to comment and tell you how this was 100% not your fault. you were only 14 so please don’t blame yourself for accepting the alcohol. your parents really failed you in this situation. letting a 17 year old boy sleep in the same room as a 14 year old girl is crazy to me. it makes me so angry for you that their affair was more important to them than their child’s sexual assault. personally i would cut all contact with said parent. like you said at the end of the video i can’t imagine doing that to my own daughter. that is just beyond sad. i hope making this video has helped you feel a little better about this terrible situation and i wish you the best on your healing journey 💙

    Cam I’m so sorry for what happened, but I’m so glad you’re speaking up and bringing light to this situation because this is going to give so many others courage to speak up and seek justice. I know the feeling of having to lay there to not make it awkward. I know the feeling of freezing and having your mind racing. I’m so so sorry cam. I usually don’t comment but I’ve been watching you since you first had collete, but dude I’m so sorry and especially sorry for how your parents handled it, it’s so heartbreaking when you get ignored and blamed. I’ve been through it. You didn’t deserve any of this and I pray the Lord will help you heal those wounds and use it as a testimony to others to show them it’s okay to speak up and it’s not the victims fault. I’m so sorry cam. I love you a lot and so does Jesus, please don’t ever think this was ur fault or something you have to handle on your own. For me having a relationship with God has brought me a lot of peace and healing, it takes time and some things I’m not over, but now I have a different outlook on my past traumas and I’m healing genuinely. Idk how your relationship with god looks but I just want you to know Jesus loves you, you’re not less of a human because of what you went through. It’s not your fault, it was never your fault, im so sorry cam. Just know you are heard and loved, I’m so glad you shared your story, I’ve never felt so understood about my SA situations until you explained your situation with that. I understand completely how you felt and I’m sorry cuz even tho it’s not our fault we carry that burden on our shoulder as if it was. I’m sorry cam. You’re seen and you’re heard, thank you for speaking out❤.

    I really feel for you cam, I was ‘inappropriately touched’ by a close family member when I was 9 years old. I say ‘inappropriately touched’ because I don’t consider what he did to me as SA, and I was a gullible kid and let him guilt trip me into letting him do that. This person is still in my life and I do forgive him NOT because he deserves it but because I deserve to heal. I haven’t talked to him about it or forgave him in person because I don’t want things to be weird between us like they were for so long. I hope you continue to heal from this and god bless you ❤️

    First, I want to say PLEASE do not blame yourself!!! He was in the wrong all the way around and sadly you are correct that many people get away with assault. The "victim" (I say victim with a sour taste because of the stigma) are often the ones blamed and shamed. Also, many times the ones who do come forward and speak up do not get justice. I have been there. I was abused by a family member from the time I was 9 to 18 years old. There are still days that I struggle with guilt and shame. Neither of us did anything wrong. I am so sorry for what you had to go through, but thank you for being will to put your story out there for others. The more people come forward, I hope things will begin to change. You are strong and courageous and know there are lots of us who support you, even if we don't know each other!!!

    I was SA'd at 17 by my best friend I got the blame as he was 15 he assaulted me 9 times and attempted twice but I managed to stop him. I got the blame as I was older I'm nearly 20 now and still deal with it daily
    I had to see him daily for nearly a year I couldn't escape from it I only opened up about my story last August after 2 and a half years. I blamed myself until I realised last year it wasn't my fault my fiancé is helping me heal from what that guy did to me

    I'm assuming the guy in the cover photo for this video is the one who assaulted you. If so, I am SO proud of you for doing that and using his picture! So many people (myself included) have protected people who hurt them and they don't deserve that for a second. Thank you for speaking out and sharing your story. It wasn't your fault and I blame your parents almost as much as this guy. They failed you in many ways. I've always been curious about your relationship with your parents because in videos your mom seems amazing but I sensed there was some dark history between you two. This makes a lot of sense about the dynamics I've seen. You have been through so much and I truly wish you the best Cam ❤

    Girl, you are so brave! And there literally are stats that prove that when you are SA'd, the perpetrator is highly more likely to be someone that you know and much more likely to trust rather than a complete stranger.
    And yes, Cam, now that you are a mom, you have to be hypervigilant about who your girls hang out with. However, this experience ensured that you know that the girls' safety comes first no matter what, even if it costs you some sort of relationship with someone else.
    I'm glad that whichever of your parents cheated, at least apologized to you, but it still should never have let you safety be compromised.
    This is very personal (so no need to respond if it's too painful for you), but Landon's bestie who tried to convince him you were lying, did he take part in/attend your wedding, cause I would never let someone like that attend any event I was hosting to that nature.

    Back in 2020 around the time when Landon passed away, I was raped. I felt really close to you, even though you’re just a person on the internet. You were going through a very difficult time and so was I. Now learning something happened to you like that, I’m so sorry. I know you’ve heard that many times before but truly i am sorry. We both Made decisions where people could say “it’s your fault not theirs”. I appreciate you so much for making this video to share with others. I think it’s so important to tell others, because we’re not alone in this. Your right people get away with this too many times, you saying i wish I would’ve gone and told someone and face the consequences of getting in trouble for drinking… I hope someone learns from this, that might seem huge in the moment but assault is more important. To stand up for themselves, I always wish i heard more people sharing their stories so when mine happened I would’ve known what to do. It’s never our fault, those were not our actions.

    When I was 11 my aunt's husband at the time touched me and even though I was disgusted I told myself that it wasn't a big deal and that maybe he just doesn't understand personal space or boundaries (which ofc he does he's a grown ass man who knew what he was doing) I didn't realize how bad the situation was until I found out he molested other children in more severe ways, I guess I was lucky that it didn't go any further but it very well could have since we stayed with them whenever we were visiting. Sometimes parents trust the wrong people around their kids and the consequences are horrible :(

    Cam I’ve been watching you for such a long long time since the very beginning. The fact that you are talking about these things and what happened with Landon shows how strong you are. Thank you for this I was in a relationship in 9th grade and had gone through so much SA I had never wanted anything but because we were in a “relationship” it was my fault. My parents blamed me for a long time and even when i had started having nightmares and flashbacks they still blamed me. It was after months of begging and begging to take it to the police we finally did…and the outcome was they wanted to prosecute against me. I was 15 at the time and I was going to punished for things that was happening to me. This world is so corrupt it took me so long to come out of the disgusting shell I was put it months of therapy and hospital admissions. It took my life away. It is no joke please listen to what cam says at the end. Tell an adult until they listen and please please please go get help it is no joke< 3

      Incredibly sad and heartbreaking this is happening to you. Do you receive any support and how are you feeling? I pray for an healthy and safe future for you and your sweet babies and another safe delivery. You’re so young omg and having to experience being a mom before even knowing who u r as a person and before becoming a teen. This is sick and cruel your childhood was taken away from you and you’ll never have the normal child/ teen experience, this hurts to read. I hope everyone who was involved in treating you so awful is away in jail. Please reach out if you need anything

      I also replied on your page where you were thinking about sharing your story I think you should but don’t do anything if you aren’t ready. Still support and send love to you either way and bless you for keeping those babies while you’re still one yourself. Barely a teen and wasn’t even a teen with your 1st baby you was just a little girl and still are. So sad and vile. You’re an amazing incredibly young mom and special ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ wishing you and your family the best, especially you❤❤❤❤❤

Wish you all the best, your just a child a baby and making babies you never had a chance in life seems like it. Forced to grow up and have the biggest life decision ever made while u were a baby which was to keep your daughter n your current baby. Aww man this really hurts and is so disgusting how nasty people are and to do these things to u. I just can't get over the fact u were a mom so young like at 10/11 after your first period, honestly the youngest I ever known and then to be a mom AGAIN at 13 so now 2 😢kids while ur still a kid. I don't like it at all but I pray for blessings for you! And ofc those babies!

    • @lil30501
      @lil30501 11 วันที่ผ่านมา +6

      I know many girls start their period really young like 8/9 yrs old but doesn't mean they are ready for sex and a baby. My sister got pregnant at 12. Which is 2 years older than you were when u got pregnant but still young. I really hope u r safe and ok even though I think you're being groomed so does others I'm sure and I hate it. But pls reach out to me if you want or teen groups and centers for help for you and your kids if you need it.

    I had something similar happen to me at a sleepover as a teenager - years ago.
    They were my Auntie’s friends and we had known them forever. I was so confused at that time, because I liked and idolized this family compared to my real, dysfunctional one, and I was supposed to be good friends with these kids.
    So I just “forgot” about it after the incident happened, and continued hanging out with these people as if nothing had happened. I still know them today.
    There’s absolutely nothing I can do about it, because I don’t want to start shit. We’ve all grown up since and we are *hopefully* better, more mature people now than we were then. But it does point to the fact that even seemingly “idyllic” families have their problems, and we are all very nuanced people who are capable of greatness - and darkness, if we don’t know how to be self-aware and check ourselves when needed.
    I already took a former neighbor to court for 15 years of harassment - and lost. So I know the system does not work for us anyways. And I am already seen as the person who “starts trouble”. But it’s because I have learned to speak up since that incident. I have reported sexual harassment at work. I have gone to the police if someone threatened violence. I stand up for myself now.. But I am now seen as that person who “stirs up the pot”.. So there is a price to pay for everything. Women aren’t allowed to start stuff.
    I may discreetly write about it in a book one day (just like you are writing a book) and then just leave it at that.
    I too was VERY naive back then - even more so naive than the average teenager, because I was Autistic (I didn’t get diagnosed until age 23), and therefore I was socially and emotionally stunted for most of my teens and young adult life, to the point where it’s embarrassing, and other people have also tried to take advantage of me because of that fact.
    You did nothing wrong and my family would not have protected me or done anything about it either. My mom would have likely believed me, because she was also sexually assaulted by a family friend when she was 13. But she was not believed either, and she was living in another state by the time this happened to me.
    I am so, so sorry you endured this, and I am glad you are getting your justice now as a writer to your autobiography. Writers are the ones who come up on top in the end, because we write down our lives in our own words, in *our* own story, or through the stories of our fictional characters. We get the final say, every time someone reads our words.
    Writers, novelists, and journalists, are POWERFUL because of this.
    You won.
