    My child's abuser was her youth pastor. I found out late September and after the church made it clear that they were standing behind him, I went to police. I never knew he was alone with her as his wife and toddlers were always around. He was arrested in early October and the senior pastor is supplying his lawyer...also going to other local churches and telling them these are nothing but false accusations. Bond is at a million and another kid has come forward. It's infuriating. She had been going to that church since 2009. No one has reached out. When the truth finally comes to light, I'm certain we will never get an apology. Leaning on God a lot... God bless you for this video!

      I'm so, so sorry your child went through this and you are not receiving support. Our church has a reducing the risk policy that requires training, background checks, open rooms, and never one adult alone with one child. It's not a perfect solution, but puts safeguards in place to prevent abuse. Again, so, so sorry.

      @@laurahoggard7730 thank you. Those policies were supposed to be followed at the church where the abuse happened. It's a Church of God. I grew up COG so I never imagined it could happen there. Most of it happened on church property as the youth pastor and his family lived in the parsonage. Now she has been diagnosed with depression, PTSD & ADD. She also has to take meds due to nightmares. It was truly an eye opener. Church should be the absolute safest place to be. God has His hands all over our situation. He continues to prove that to us.

    I just want to say this happened to me as an adult-everything that you described. We had a significant age gap and I thought it was love. I felt manipulated and the more isolated I got and the more he tried to make things sexual. I got therapy and finally told my family and friends and I was able to get out of it and I have never felt more free. I think the biggest myth is that this only happens to children. You can be groomed as an adult by another adult you trust significantly older than you.

    alot of times abuse is with a family member. Someone you trust and know. It makes it even more confusing. It also can be so subtle, "the steps" Having gone through this with my own daughter and my step dad. In my experience the steps weren't as defined. Kind of like the grieving process. Steps can blend into each other. Looking back I thought it was special they had their own time together. Now I just shudder thinking about it. So heartbreakingly sad! :(

    Can a child predator, actually try this to an adult? My mom just got with this guy and he's 43 and I'm 30. But he often tried forcing hugs on me. And always tried getting me in my mom's room alone. Sent me a text that I was just like wtf...and then proceeded to just touching on me one day while I was washing dishes. Thing is my husband saw and made a big deal about it. And then her bf got all offended when confronted. We looked up his records and he's a convicted sex offender. Like WTF...but he told my mom that his wife out false charges on him of child molestation with his kids. And she believes him...I told her I can't come to her house anymore after finding out.

    I have wife, a 6 year old daughter and a 5 year old son. Yesterday when i was walking home from church some guy I'd never seen before came running out after us and grabs my 6 year old daughters hand and starts walking along with us like he's part of out family or something.
    I gathered from something my wife said that he was her Sunday school teacher.
    The guy is 26 and literally looked 15 or 16 to me so while it was slightly awkward it wasn't as wierd as it might sound.
    He wouldn't talk or hardly hardly look me in
    The eye but my daughter seemed comfortable enough . My wife had a slightly taken a back look on her face but didn't say anything, just looked suprized and a little uncomfortable.
    I kept glancing in an intentionally obvious way down at thier hands to signal "you should let go of my daughter's hand."
    He would look up and catch my eye, and look back down again, and still wouldn't talk. I could see he saw my hints but he acted like he was either oblivious to non verbal signals or was pretending to be oblivious to them but he literally had NO expression.
    I started actually getting a little scared because it felt really wierd having some person I never met walking along like that with us and not talking.
    Then I put myself in between them trying to physically push him backwards away from my daughter and he would NOT let go of her hand! He wouldn't talk or look me in the eyes either!
    If my wife hadn't been there I wouldn't have been so nice about it but I was trying to figure out if what he was doing was actually OK.
    When I could see he wasn't going to let go of my daughter I said "hey how old are you?"
    He finally looks up at me with a smirk and said 13.
    I said youre 13 years old? He said "no my parents have been running Sunday school at church for 13 years."
    I said, "no I'm asking you how old you are." He said "oh 15" . At which point my wife who was walking behind us finally said "he's 26"
    I said " I've never seen you before, don't you think it's a little wierd for a 26 year old man to walk down the street holding hands with a 6 year old girl?"
    He looks up at me with the same smirk but no surprise, no embarrassment, he didn't even look offended.
    He said "is that how it is in US?" (I'm an expat and this is in South America)
    I said "that's how it is on all of planet earth!"
    He STILL wouldn't let go of her hand and didn't register ANY expression except for the impudent smirk he'd had the entire time but his posture turned awkward like he was finally scared but trying not to show it.
    Than he asked me where we lived which was such an inappropriate question for the situation that I started toward him and said "let go of my daughters hand!"
    It literally was like pulling a tooth. He had a look like how dare I ask him that and It was the hardest thing he'd ever done.
    I told my daughter to run back to her mom, and he literally started following her but caught himself and started walking with me real nervous like.
    I said "don't ever touch my daughter again", and he acted like he didn’t understand me or couldn’t believe he was hearing right.
    I said "are you married?" He said no. I said I think it's wierd for a 26 year old man that's not married to be a Sunday school teacher and it's even weirder to walk holding hands with my 6 year old girl, and refuse to talk to me or look me In the eyes, and that maybe he should get married first then resume teaching Sunday school.
    He wouldn't talk but now he's following me like a scared puppy.
    I asked where he lived and he told me where and I pointed toward where he told me and said "don't you need to go up that road?" He said "no", and I said "well how do you get home then?"
    Than he described a rout that would have been WAY out of the way and just happened to go right past our house and I could tell he must have known where we lived .
    I said "that's funny I've never seen you come past our house and we walk home every Sunday and you've never walked with us!"
    He's like "yeah that's how I get home" so I could tell he'd literally planned on taking an out of the way route home so so he could walk with us and come by our house on the way.
    I thought I got to shake this wierdo so I started walking slower and he FINALLY got the hint and kept walking. No goodbye and he didn't even look back but keeps walking slow like he's hoping we'd catch up with Him again.
    I walked back to my wife and shes staring daggers at me .
    She said "how can you treat him like that?"
    But she looked just as shaken up as I was and didn’t make any effort to catch up with him either.
    She told me his mom was a child psychologist and had been running the children's activities in church for years and has adopted other kids and he's one of the Sunday school teachers and so on, and his family is so nice and they'll be SO hurt when they find out how I treated their poor little boy.
    Does anybody think this person i described like a creepo or not? I don’t want to unnecessarily hurt people but nothing about that walk home was normal and I'm wondering about taking my kids out of Sunday school.
    It reminds me of "grooming". Anyway id say he was trying to get us to like him and maybe invite him into our house.
    Also I've heard that the lack of picking up on social cues and hints and a lack of showing suprize and shame is a sign of a psycopathic personality.
    How do you treat a situation where someone like that has so thoroughly wiggled into a social circle and everyone defends them so vehemently? Also I've been going to this church for 5 years and id NEVER seen this person before, and how is a 26 year old man able to look and act so much like a little kid??
    Looking for advice.

I never knew of any improprieties, anything inappropriate that ever happened. The leaders did not sleep in tents with boys, etc. They had their own tents.

      @@silvermoonluna5844 Everything an adult does with a child should involve another adult observing, who is an adult of fairly virtuous character at least. With parents/relatives, etc., rest assured, a great deal of child sexual abuse comes from either parents, or others like aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. It is good that we are trying to monitor adults that work with kids more closely, always doing background checks, etc. However, because parents/relatives are not as closely observed, that is where abuse will often occur. The same is true for certain sorts of religious leaders, those with whom a great deal of trust is placed.
      The solution is not doing away with activities that truly do benefit and bring joy to children (and teens). The solution is having more means of monitoring ALL adults and protecting children via parents keeping a watchful (but NOT automatically mistrustful) eye on each other and other relatives, and adults in general behaving themselves and being more virtuous/chaste, such that, along with increased use of security cameras, etc., the chances of something truly terrible happening to a child in this way lessen with time.

    Child predators are disgusting and horrible, in fact ANY predator is horrible. But child predators are the worst. And then some groups try to say that the Pedophiles were "born that way" and that it's a sexual preference. What a bunch of B.S. No one has the right to abuse a child for any reason, especially sexually. These kids grow up with major mental health issues and sometimes for years afterwards. Beware of old who kiss young kids on the lips. It may not be a big thing, but most old men I know didn't do this. I had one who did.

    Can older people get groomed by younger people as well?? And do they always want sexual favors? Also, when I was 21, I would do sexual favors for a man that was in his 50s. I didn’t have to do them but he always told me that I had the choice to do them and there was a lot of money on the table to do them. So I had a choice. And a lot of times I agreed to sleep with him. This wouldn’t count as grooming would it?? Not to mention, I would confide in him about a lot of things going on in my life so it was more than just sex and money. I honestly thought of this as just simply business. He never knew me as a child so it’s not like he was “preparing” to sleep with me into adulthood. It was a decision we both made as consenting adults

      Sex, is such a huge issue. They blame it always almost on the man, but the man himself is simy a product of his environment. The problem that comes with this is violence. Most men wanna have sex, but pregnancy comes with that which complicates the issue. Sadly, it's just the world in which biology manipulates us. That rational thinking, morality? It didn't exist back then. Morality exists for THOSE who can have healthy lives, offsprings, but not to those nature determines it cannot be a reproductive mate. But the same BIOS is installed in all, or most of men, and thats what causes men to always seek sexual acts with women, even to their own familial kind. Child abuse? It's because they cannot have sex with other partners, and their own partners shame them sexually. So there's no choice left but to seek out sex with a young female. This would've been avoided had males got a partner at 16 or 15 while he is 14-16 or even older. Because the framework is there. You lose that framework, that step, you are going to lose out, and some become predators because they CANNOT be "without a partner/mate". It also goes with the repression, the cultural expression of their race, etc. This is biology, clear and cold cut. You can only cut it out if we have some identifiable gene that, we can cut out, or witch hunts, as we so often do derive our sick pleasures, as they do. Two wrongs don't make a right, but seems there's no other better way.
      I think the wiring for sexualization and protection is screwed for these individuals due to some brain trauma and major changes in their neural wiring. So, they see it as sexually desirable for a young child, because the notions of protection is crossed into their unmet sexual needs. What I think goes is that the healthy state in a normal individual, that section there is lost in childhood, and so he is unable to find himself a young partner and develop a relationship with his social needs and what not healthy. So he becomes sexually deprived, much like a malnourished individual. Believe it or not, sex IS A SEVERE need, or rather the emotional healthiness in a person, etc, therefore he/she is screwed over.

    I agree with much of what he says except for the touching, a "hi five or a pat on the back is OK", I don't agree!!! Sometimes a pat on the back or just touching the back period is a trial testing for predators!!!
    I teach my kids about that if an adult touches there back you pay close attention to that and avoid it the second time!! So if the touch comes a second time while trying to avoid it, show power of self awareness control and move away from it and immediately tell me!!!! This works because one of mine took power against a predator and we was victorious against that person together !! Victorious because he showed the power of awareness and communicated with me immediately then I took charge!!! YES!!!!!!!

    What about when you have evidence to prove and support the grooming signs and DFS and family courts fail the child?! Because that is what is happing to my son right now and our county’s DFS has a long history of failing to protect the child. My local court system doesn’t care. The police have even refused to investigate simply because my sons father protects his girlfriend by denying all abuse even though they have been investigated multiple times for abuse and neglect. Advice?

In September, 2019 she finally told her best friend who told her that if she didn’t tell me then the friend would. It took another 2 months of therapy before her therapist was able to get her to open up enough about him taking her innocence. I wish I had a magic wand to give you. Until you can confirm it, I do strongly recommend you keep everything. Write dates, names, ANYTHING down.

    So I’m gonna try to connect this with a possible grooming thing and if you think this is grooming please tell me. Btw the predator’s traits is relaxed, jokey with dark humor, and is very odd
    Target: Similar interests??
    Get to know them: They happen to both like anime
    Meet a need: Watching anime with no ads, probably.
    Isolate: At lunch they’re going to go alone and watch anime (the predator will also buy lunch for them)
    The secrecy: The predator asked her to help design a cover for a book he made, he has asked multiple people to do this. I asked sarcastically for money and he said he might have, and trading money is not allowed at the current place.
    Desensitize: Me and a friend of mine talked about how suspicious the predator is, but the victim shrugged it off and doesn’t want the predator to get in trouble
    (I think this is the current stage. the predator let the victim harm someone else and didn’t tell anyone.)
    ((Also about the private messages, they have each other’s phone numbers for anime.))
