How about direct your hate at the men that have abused the women? Of course they carry accountability.... But do you think that their mothers weren't also victims of violence and abuse at the hands of their fathers? YES....women.... Protect your children. But let's not forget that it's the MEN creating this culture of violence and control over women.

I used to be so angry at my grandmother growing up she raised me and I felt like she was so overprotective of myself and my brother by not letting us alone with adults and other older children, now I see how right she was and how grateful I am to her.

It's hard sometimes but I'd never forgive myself if I gave in and something happened to him.

I encourage anyone to deal with it before it catches up to you. EMDR is bilateral stimulation, its related to REM sleep which is the part of sleep that processes all the stuff we go through each day. Tapping is another form of the same thing.

I very very luckily wasn't but almost every single person I have met which is hundreds of people at this point, who also live homeless tell me they were sexually abused as children. And pretty much every single one of their stories is just like these girls it was someone inside their home who had a lot of authority over them who made it into like a game, like with the crayons and the tampons and the 50¢ and the $1 and the dog toy and the Vaseline and all that. The abuser without exception minimizes it, makes it into like a joke game with the children or child either that or they make it into like this romantic thing where they're literally carrying on a romantic relationship with the child like taking them out on dates buying them gifts etc. It seems this guy had a little bit of that and a lot of just authoritatively jokingly coercing. One part of the story that was completely left out which I would have really loved to have seen and also can you please do a little follow-up documentary that revolves around this topic: the question that should have been asked of both of the mothers is "what kind of financial situation were you in when you met him and how much was his professional mechanic skills and ability to earn a middle-class living via those mechanic skills, how much of that factored in to your decision to begin a love sex relationship with him especially to make the decision to marry or and cohabitate?

So my dad was instrumental in causing my brother's addiction, enabling him, and never held him accountable to face consequences. Now my dad is older, and disabled, my brother keeps him in the booze and pills, and he gets to take complete advantage of my dad financially. I call it KARMA. My dad used my grandpa financially all his life, and counted the days until he would die, and be able to have all my Gramps worked hard for, and saved his whole life. And he did. My Gramps left me $20,000, and he stole it, without giving it a thought. And I had just had his grandson, and he stole his own grandson's future....disgusting. Sold Gramps house right away, and never gave me a penny of my inheritance. I swear, families can be so freaking toxic and manipulative. I had to cut them out of my life 10+ yrs ago, for peace in my life, and for my mental health. Best decision I ever made.

It it true that there is a statute of limitations on crimes such as SA against a child? I had heard this and quite frankly this serves only the abuser/paedophile as it limits the time the victim has to come forward and seek justice. Does anyone know? 😦

This showed me to not judge alcoholics or drug addicts because it seems a lot of them are like that because of the horrific childhoods they had. Uncle Jim is a sick fxxk as well and I had anxiety watching him get interviewed with the sound of multiple kids playing in the background.

[@BrabbitHabit]

I’m a recovering addict and I wasnt abused physically or sexually as a child, but I’m in the literal tiny minority of addicts who weren’t. I’ve sat through the most heartbreaking, painful, disturbing group sessions of my life watching grown men and women cry as they detail what was done to them as children. I mean the sickest things you can think of. I really don’t think people realize how bad it is. It’s usually not just the sexual abuse but there’s a lot of pain and torture that goes with it (choking, cigarette burns, whipping, trading the kids out to be abused by other friends and family members, etc). Abusers destroy these children’s souls. Their innocence is literally stolen before they can even comprehend what that means and many of their adulthoods are spent trying to compensate for what was done to them as children. People think kids just forget the abuse or get over it, but they don’t. Even with a ton of therapy, they may heal, they may even forgive (for their sakes), but they’ll never forget. I mean I guess unless their brain represses it. People get upset when addicts give birth to babies under the influence, and I agree that that’s a terrible thing, but they have no compassion for the addicts that were abused in the most sickening ways when they were just kids, themselves. Had that not happened to them, I highly doubt most of them ever would’ve tried to solve their problems with drugs. Abuse isn’t the story for every addict. I was a multi-sport varsity athlete in high school and went to college on an academic scholarship, but one car accident that broke my back in 3 places changed my life. I couldn’t walk without assistance for 3 months and was plied with opioids for years. I didn’t even know I was mentally addicted (I understood the physical dependence aspect) until I tried to stop. But either way, addicts are people who need help, we already beat ourselves up for what we’ve done in active addiction. No one could say worse things to us than we’ve already said to ourselves.

This is a topic that just eviscerates my very soul. There is no forgiveness or anything good for these animals who hurt precious kids. Instead, there is a special place in hell for each and every single one. I must say I was smart as a kid. When I was 11 years old, I was going to school in Paopli, Indiana, and I rode Bus 27 to Marengo, Indiana, quite a way from Paoli. Then, I would transfer to the bus that drove me, my sister, and brother from Marengo to English. On the way home from Paoli one afternoon in early spring of 1989, I was sitting across from a boy named Claud. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old at the time. On this afternoon, he asked if I would sit in his seat beside him, and so I did. We talked a while, and then, the bastard stuck his hand under my backpack and groped me. "Let me see your P***r." he said, and I elbowed him in the ribs before jumping up and running to the front of the moving bus, where I told the bus driver, Chett, what had just happened. To make a long story short, Chett called Claud to the front of the bus and ripped him a new one verbally. What makes this thing so ironic is that it happened on the afternoon of a day during which my friends and I watched an assembly regarding sexual abuse and inappropriate touching. Claud, who was picked up from the high school, which was across the street from Throup Elementary, was a sick SOB. God bless people like old Chett, who has long since passed away from complications from a bee sting. Rest in peace, Chett. We all love and miss you.

[@denisebacher5040]

I’m merely 22 minutes in and I’m sobbing. For all you kids and for my inner child. My abuse started at roughly 6. May be earlier, but my father ( not one my abusers) remembered the first time I told him what going on I was 6. It was my eldest brother, who was 13. I told after the 3rd attack because I was very sore down there. My mother took my brother’s side. Said, by telling, I was “tearing the family apart” and that I “just refuse to be a good girl”. After her punishing me, I never again told my dad. And I tried to keep it from my mom because I didn’t want her to know I was being a “bad girl”. Soon my brother brought in the second oldest brother. They would even sexually assault me in the family car, in a parking lot with people walking by. One time an adult male came up and took his junk out and was stroking watching what was going on. Not kidding. When I was 9 I went to spend the weekend with my aunt and my two cousins. The elder of the two cousins brought me to meet some of his friends. He sold me to them for $25. He swore if I fought the boys he’d tell my mom I was “bad again”. When I turned 12 my parents divorced and my mom had to get a job ( up to that point she had my father working 2 full time jobs). Well she didn’t like that so she hooked up with someone she KNEW was a pedophile ( she worked with his teen stepdaughter who had confided he was abusing her) and pretty much gave me to him if he’d work to support her and us kids. The abuse from my brothers was still ongoing, so at 12 years old I was coming to avoid going home if I could. But I had a younger sister and I could tell the pedo was interested in her, so I stayed and kept the abuse on me. For just over 6 more years. By the time I was 18 my stepdad did make his move on my sister and when I found out I told my mom I was going to cops. But soon I was talked out of that by my mom. Assured that it would never happen again. And she was right. It didn’t. For my sister. As a family we went to Knotts Berry Farm and my stepdad was sexually molesting me every chance he got. And at 19 I moved out and got my own place. Oh throughout all that time all my brothers ( I actually have 3 but the one closest to me in age never sexually touched me) were allowed to choke me, smash my head into walls, and any other physical abuse they wanted. If I complained or cried out my mom would say “Denise leave your brothers alone.” I’ve attempted suicide twice. I don’t drink or use drugs because I don’t like the feeling of losing my faculties. Makes me feel vulnerable. Plus I’m sure I could easily become an alcoholic or drug addict because of wanting to drown these memories. And in adulthood I’ve been raped twice. So, yes, I so can relate to your family’s story. Oh, I finally told my dad about the abuse continuing well past 6yo. It devastated him. Any time he spoke to me after that he’d apologize that he didn’t save me. I wish I had never told him. I lost him when I was 31 years old. And with his death there went the only family member that gave a crap about me. My sister says that because I let it go on so long I must have been enjoying it. That was truly the biggest betrayal.

[@carohigh505]

Incest is a completely different beast. You've never heard of children who get abused and still defend their parents? It's NOT uncommon. This is still their father, they still crave a relationship with him. And if you notice only ONE really is all over him and you can tell she's alittle wary but desperately wants to pretend their relationship is normal. Geri stays all the way on the other side of the bed and makes awkward small talk. Pambi is obviously uncomfortable. June is the only one extremely affectionate. She's also a molester- Denise told us that. Don't judge these women so hard. Incest is very complicated to understand.

As with any sexual orientation, pedophilia is not going to change with time, punishment, or any other reconditioning method.

I spent a year and a half in an institution as a child...there were many kids with developmental delays, emotional and mental issues, kids with various birth defects and genetic diseases, kids of all ages damaged by savage beatings or who had been shaken when they were babies, an exquisite little girl who had what I guess was juvenile alzheimers...every day she slipped further away, till she was like a pretty doll, who just sat there silent, staring into space, violent kids, the flotsam of divorce, and lots of hard luck cases...but some of the most pitiable kids there had been victims of prolonged sexual abuse...often a combination of sexual abuse and domestic violence...some had scars you wouldn't believe. Jean had her abuser's initials burned into the inside of her thigh with a cigarette...it must have taken quite a while, as each initial was about 4 inches tall. He shared her with other pedophiles and sometimes photographed or filmed the abuse...which caused Jean, at 8, to start drinking. I didn't understand at first...until my parents messy divorce and my high strung mom's fixation on me as the source of her problems, I had been rather sheltered. But the next year and a half would give me a thorough education in just about every evil thing than could be done to a child short of murder. The suffering of my fellow children was harder to bear than my own, though the violent kids beat me often and stole food from my tray so that I was always hungry... harder because what had been done to many of them was unspeakably cruel. And most had been put there by the very people who abused them...put there to keep their abusers from being exposed when the lid would no longer stay shut on the secret. When Bethie (nine) tried to kill herself, it raised questions her father didn't want to answer...nothing quite destroyed a child's credibility like being institutionalized and nobody (apparently) questioned him after that. The abuse had been brutal...Bethie woke up screaming more nights than not. Angela's abuser came to visit her every week on visiting day, and though he couldn't abuse her there in the day room where there were so many witnesses, he seemed to enjoy brushing against her...or looming over her...smiling to himself while thin little Angela(nine) shook like a leaf, silent tears running down her pale face. That smile of his gave me chills...it was like it gave him pleasure to see her in such a place...to know that nobody was ever going to believe her now....and that he could take her out of there if he wanted, back to the home he hurt her in. Her mom stood well out of Angela's reach instead of offering any comfort, glancing at her watch from time to time, a sour look on her face. It was hard to watch...but I stayed close by. She had begged me to, and I had promised...I kept that promise every week. Most of the abused, even Sev, whose abuser had damaged him internally (with various objects and body parts) as well as externally, and who had had multiple surgeries to repair the damage, were bravely trying to keep moving forward. Most didn't hurt other kids. Most tried to help and comfort each other. They had endured such Hell...but it didn't make them mean, and a few would heroically stand up for the smallest among us when the violent kids came looking for a punching bag. I was proud to join in the defending of totally helpless kids like Ronald, who had a misshapen head and was blind, just two of his many signs of a lifetime of pain, neglect and brutal beatings ...and that probably helped me to endure the rest of it.. Nothing helps keep hope alive quite as well as having a purpose. I am profoundly grateful. I've worked hard to stand tall and not let the past define me, and my life is a good one now. But many years and boatloads of therapy after leaving that place...I still wake to find that I've been crying in my sleep. To the Filmmaker: You did a good thing to stand up and fight for your mom, to confront the vile monster that hurt her and so many other kids for so long...you made a harrowing film that is also beautiful in its courage and its laser focus on the truth and you should be very proud. Good job.

Familiar story....my family was homeless several times. Living with uncle's, grandma or on the streets. My Mother was an amazing Mom. She never knew her brother's molested me. I told when I was 37 years old. As I grew up I tried to tell myself that I would be okay that these things that happened to me did not define me. But of course they did. I was never able to have a safe and secure intimate relationship with a man. Even though I did marry and have a son, I just couldn't connect with people. I never told anyone any of this before, beyond telling my mom and my dad. Well I told my fiance when I was in my late 30s He told me it wasn't my fault I was a child that I should never blame myself. Those few words really changed my life and enabled me to tell my parents what happened. Anyway it's a very long story... And this documentary brought all this to mind. I pray for those people involved and that somehow they have healed enough to carry on in this world.

The part that makes my heart ache is this narrative of a woman who knowingly ignores the plea of her children so the bills can get paid or so they could have a roof over their heads. Why......in gods name do we allow stuff like this happen to children? No child should ever feel hopeless around someone who carried them fo 9 months. How dare you call yourself a mother and believe your boyfriend over your daughters. DAMN the sick bastards and i pray god handles them accordingly but the mere fact that ALL of them went to their mother and was brushed off just for these simpletons to say they knew but wasnt sure. This was sooooooo hard to sit through and watch like excuse me.....3 years old.....3! I pray for the healing of all the children in the world that suffers abuse like this and i pray they find salvation from their tragedy. I could never EVER fathom hearing such an accusation and saying " well kids have a wild imagination" shame to all the predators and people who condone them. Just the fact that women like ghislaine maxwell exist makes you feel hopeless because even me being a man i feel like when things get rough a child should always go to their mother for some real guidance. I may not have an S on my chest to vindicate all the victims but i can assure you those out there suffering, i believe you and to those who are still trapped in it i pray you find freedom. I know It sucks that even some of the people who are supposed to help you in the justice department are like melvin but know that there are people who still have good in their hearts. I dont have children and i thank god that they are not previewed to a disgusting foul world like this. May God have mercy on the souls of those who have been through so much pain and suffering from the young to the old whether in it or far from it, Amen. As you read this let go of the burden from your past....breathe in hold for 1...2....3...and exhale, now say to yourself "thank you God for allowing me to speak my truth".

Your story is my husband’s story. He survived incest by both parents, primarily his MOTHER, and was later trafficked by them. I’m certain they filmed it all. We later discovered there was an active pedophile ring where he grew up. I was the first one he told, and he started out with, “I have a secret.” When he was finished, I told him HE doesn’t have a secret, THEY do. He tried to speak with his parents and siblings, but they have remained in denial and we remain estranged. His father died in 2015, and his mother is being buried tomorrow. But my husband is totally free, and I’ll tell you how and why. I explained to him that forgiveness is done for YOU, not THEM. Forgives does NOT mean you are okay with what was done to you. Forgiveness means that you are no longer carrying the anger and the need for justice. You can turn the entire sordid painful mess over to God, or the universe, or whatever. You allow God to exact justice, and exact it HE will. You don’t need to be the arbiter of a justice you can never pursue. It will only cause you constant frustration and hurt…and anger. Let it go. God can do things that are out of our reach. Let Him. Besides, He tells us that vengeance is His, not ours. I will do you luck. Remember, it’s a choice. It’s within reach. Love and peace. ❤

@@nopebye.777 it's ok. I get where they're coming from. We both know, Maarym, that we can't inflict as much pain as some men do, because that's how nature works. But I focus on women, because men need to get help through their own peers. We know that trying to get through to some of them, as women, is pointless. But, I point out all faults from both genders, I'm not biased at all. However, I don't tip toe around the inequality either 😘 Peace and thanks for the feedback.

@@shandell279 I asked a VERY SIMPLE question. Is it to the same rate? I find that people avoid answering questions because it foils their underhanded intent. Crime didn't stop after 9/11/2001. And yet one took priority for a long time. Why? NUMBERS. So. Want to try again ?

[@VERYSILLYMARTTIAN]

as a survivor myself, this is the most insane thing ive ever watched

[@jennifermoran6637]

I saw this before; just the sounds of the bed creaking and car moving is BEYOND disturbing when the abuse against tiny children took place.

[@monico4784]

I've watched this doc at least 5 times over the past 20 years.. Idk why I'm about to subject myself to it all over again right now, but I am.

OMG - the ex wife still serves up her own grandchildren to him with a side of blueberry pancakes...she should be charged as well. This has really fired me up.

Wow!! These poor kids. The fact your mother is so put together shows how strong she is. Fantastic Documentary!!!

This was really well done. I will be praying for healing for all of his victims. He was a disgusting human being

[@toffeenut1336]

Wow prayers. How useful and valuable.

[@terywetherlow7970]

Pray that this stops. Survivors never recover.

[@pinkpugginz]

@@toffeenut1336 Prayer is the same as someone saying sending good vibes. It means the person is aware of the abuse and evil in the world and will keep an eye out for it. Some people use prayer as meditation. As long as someone isn't using it as an empty platitude its better than nothing. I can see why its offensive to many.

So many suicide attempts. Wild.

I can hardly say this without tears running down my face. No child in this entire world should have to suffer the way these children did. I can't believe what I've heard in a way I wish I wouldn't have watched it. It sounds so simple to say my heart goes out to every one of them, but, my heart is all I have to give. I pray to God that the rest of your life you can live in peace and without fear. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I want to tell you I'm sorry. I know I didn't do it or had a part in it. I'm just sorry that you had to have such a terrible childhood. God bless all of you and may the rest of your life be happy and carefree.

He was a very sick individual, the suffering and anguish those kids went through. I can relate, I was a victim of sexual abuse by my father in law. My heart goes out to his family

Father in law ? Does that even compare to being a child goeing through it..... I don't understand your comparison ?

This is the second time I've watched this desolating portrayal of such unmitigated horror. James, you are extremely talented. I don't know how you managed to come out of that so highly functioning, but whatever you are doing, please continue. Please don't feel bad about wanting to shove Melvin off the peer. We all do. I'm glad you didn't give him a chance to forget about the hell he inflicted on those whom he tortured. I hope his last thoughts were of your voice, reminding him of his sins. I wish your family healing and peace. Especially June, who is clearly in denial.
