Thank you. And yes these people are victims. Finally someone with some knowledge and understanding.
Please try not to think of this as everyone else not having "knowledge and understanding."
Your thread was not very detailed in exactly what you were upset about. You have good reason to be upset, and I am sure that other's in this community would be more then willing to help by signing this petition. You have to understand that not everyone is able to understand what you need help with if you do not add more detail, to allow us the knowledge to know what you are referring to. I personally have been trying to figure out what you were talking about for a few days? I honestly thought that you were talking about pedophiles and child rapist/molesters having history for their crimes, carrying with them for the rest of their life.
@OMGnoWAY Thank you for shedding light on this subject.
It is very unfortunate that these things happen, and I am in no way denying that it doesn't. I have not personally witnessed any of these wrong doings, but I am in no way denying that they don't happen. Actually, in my home state/town there is a Women's home for these victims (and other types of women victims). These women pay no bills to stay here and have all of their basic provisions provided for them--they practically work together and even farm for themselves. They don't have the pleasure of living a "free as a bird" life, and I feel much shame in saying that. However, they are provided for and they can live a safe life, without having to stress over being found.
In all reality, if these women/girls hope to live a normal life, what can we do to enforce their safety? I am sure that giving them mental/medical health for the rest of their lives won't be that big of a deal. Along with a free education of their choosing. But what is going to keep them safe from these people who choose to hunt them down? That is what truly concerns me.
You also have other issues: What about the ones who are given all this help to start a new safe life, yet still continue to go back? Sure it is all they have ever known, but it is almost the same as saying drug abusers who have known drugs all of their life, should never be prosecuted for living a life they know is wrong.
I am not saying all the cases are like this, but I do feel there are other things to consider here as far as circumstances. The thing is, help will only come to those who truly want it. It's not fair to target the whole country for certain areas of negligence. I feel if anything, maybe these girls/women who continue to choose that life after they have been discovered should be relocated, and court ordered to receive Mental Health treatment. There is no nice way to say that these victims have been through a lot and that starting a new life without recovery would instantly make them feel as if they don't belong, or will never feel anything more than what they were. But if they cannot make the better choice to stay on the path of the new life given to them, I don't see how court ordering should be a problem. These victims are in serious need of help, whether or not they realize it. Court ordering is just a way to enforce they go through with it, to show that the help was offered--I don't mean this harshly but you have to consider realistic options.
Hope this doesn't offend anyone!
