Being Adopted By A Predator Changed Her Life

in olden times " John Thomas" was actually a nick name for the male privates, I keep thinking it's a very telling pseudonym..but it's his actual name , how fitting

Crazy how the wife knew. She freaking KNEW. She knew how horrible it felt. She let it happened!! How do you call yourself a woman if you let that happen to a little girl ! Wow !

[@FrankieG-x5h]

Women always know. They turn a blind eye even when it’s their biological children. They sell their children out to their men either to keep the men from bothering THEM sexually , OR bc they rely on the man financially and dont want to be alone. Whatever he reason - they ALWAYS know. How could you not know someone in your house is being raped for YEARS?

The fact that you tell this story without tears, let met further know that you’re mentally very, very strong.

Resilience... There comes a time when you stop crying, you stop reliving the thing and make the thing your footstool... Sometimes it's more about being resilient than just being strong. Strong things break every day. Because something evil broke you into pieces, but you know something divine put you back together. knowing it's possible to be whole again after being broken...

[@Nothinggirl]

All children need to be taught about their bodies and abuse. Predators get away with it because it’s all done in the dark and kept secret. Children need to be empowered. I really admire her strength and I’m happy things ended like they did at least

[@leeannjohnson1808]

When my granddaughter was 4 years old, I knew I had to explain "inappropriate touching" to her, but how do you explain that to a child? I had a lightblulb moment and told her that it was not okay for anyone to touch her in places that are covered by her bathing suit.

[@lovelyday3979]

The abortion place should have asked her more about how she got pregnant since she was so young in there with a old man..... its crazy they didn't notice that was odd.

Sorry you had to go through that. The adoption places need to do a better job at vetting foster parents.

[@thablackkat9905]

It doesn't matter how much vetting you do, you cannot predict who does what!

[@vmina12]

@@thablackkat9905I didn’t say they should use a crystal ball and do predictions. I said they should do a better job at attempting to vet foster and adoptive parents. Right now they do the bare minimum of a background check but maybe the person never got caught yet. They should conduct psychological exams and lie detector tests. Those may weed out some of these folks with hidden deviants and intentions. As a foster parent myself I wouldn’t mind being subjected to any steps they need to take to keep these kids safe.

[@thablackkat9905]

@vmina12 I understand, but what good is a background check if people are clean and do not have a history, but they are still horrible individuals? People could pretend to be whoever they choose to be until its time to peel off the mask. A background check and a deeper dive would do nothing.

My tears fall for you, LaTrecia Thomas. Too many times have I seen or learned of childhood friends, especially females, being sexually abused by someone living in their immediate household. In fact, several times I've dated girls in the teen years and felt they had been tampered with physically only to find out that it was true. The pain of losing these persons because of their irrational bipolar behavior from their sexual assaults. Your suffering affects me too. Thank you for being strong for other survivors and the friends of survivors.

Agree! I’ve never heard anything good from anyone who’s been adopted unless it was by a family member. The system is literally trafficking these poor kids. Crazy they were able to find a wonderful family AFTER she was abused so severely!! Smh its kinda like ok you paid your dues, let’s finally do our jobs. Sick!

[@maureengordon309]

@@flyflyfly2123 You are right, because there are lots of money changing hands in these adoptions as well as fostering. The more children they foster out and adopt out the more money the government gives the organization. They have a quota and if reached a set amount of millions is handed out to the organization. I watched a documentary on this. With journalist going undercover. It's a business to destroy families, especially the poor.
