I think what gets lost here is that child molesting is still a very much in the shadows crime, wherever it's committed. I often think I'm the only person I know that didn't have a gropey relative. My best friend did, my ex did, my sister's husband. People not only don't call them on their acts, but they make sure the assholes are invited to every family function. What the fuck?

My ex's Uncle Hank is the one I actually knew. Fucker groped every every girl in the family when they'd get to be around 8ish. It was no secret, it was discussed openly. It cost one of the cousins his marriage because his wife wanted to press charges against UH for groping their daughter and the cousin wouldn't go along with it. Hank was a super judgemental Christer POS, who didn't approve of me. He once got in my face about some unimportant shit and I told him he should be careful because I'm not a little girl and I'd have no problems ending his shit once and for all. I'm no tough guy by any means, but I figured his nose crushing under my hand would be pretty sweet. Of course, when it got around to her family that I'd backtalked him, I was the bad guy.

When the POS died, the church was full, everyone was weeping, not a word about the girls he'd touched. He was a fucking saint. When his will came out, the list of debts to family members that he loaned money to was staggering.

I really liked the cousin who lost his wife. He seemed to be a real no nonsense guy. But to know that he did nothing...fucking nothing...when this fuck molested his daughter, how do you respect someone after that?

I honestly can't see a scenario of my kid being molested that didn't end with me on the fucker's porch with a ball bat in my hand and pistol tucked in my waistband with an ultimatum to get the fuck out of town within 48 hours.

I know that we can't say what we would do in a certain situation, but the ginger coach walking in on a 60 year old man raping a kid did the wrong fucking thing by staying silent. Silence is the most effective accomplice to these asshole.
