It's also works in the reverse. Just the way they didn't believe they young lady because she didn't cry, they also tend to believe a person just because they're crying. No evidence, just tears.

At just shy of 16 , I went to the police in our small town. I reported physical abuse from parents, and sexual abuse by brother. I was not believed. I was made to apologize to him. In spite of this as an adult I had great respect and admiration for him. I started therapy and realized Stockholm syndrome is real. I finally understood why I was a people pleaser, why certain sexual acts made me nauseous and so much more. I wrote him a letter to try and understand. I was shocked when I was subsequently ghosted by his whole family. I now realize he is a coward first and foremost, second there is never just one. Never just one time , etc. I lived with many, many people. Yet he was only caught once. And he used the idea of “ curiosity “ to explain it away. I remember hiding in the trash burner to avoid him. He was almost a decade older. Do I think other people knew? No. Unless they were a victim also. In that case, they were just glad it wasn’t them.

When I told my sister she forced me to have a talk with my cousin where he promised he was not going to do it again (he did) and told me to keep being quite about it. This was years ago and my mom recently found out by going through my Facebook messages after I lent her my old phone. She just told me to forgive him cause he was going for a dark time back then.

The ultimate betrayal 😔

[@WhaleCommunicators]

You are so right on this. It is dodging their parental responsibility. Another aspect we all should be aware of and sensitive to (not excusing this behavior but considering other aspects of this) is these people were more than likely sexually abused as well as babies and children. They did not know how to handle it. Kids who grow up in 'no boundaries' households are told what to do and say. And often times in these kinds of homes (which by the way are usually generational family bloodlines whose spirituality is satanism and or luciferianism practice laced with black magic and conjuring demons to pay for their favors granted. So without a great therapist and long hours of working through the harshness of this kind of life - you can't heal. You can come out of this kind of darkness but you got to fight like heck for your complete emancipation and the restoration of all the pieces of your heart and soul. This work is not for sissies - it is for the strongest of the strong hearts who want this more than anything. I believe people who were abused in this way go three ways in life. They NEVER abuse another and turn their abuse inwards upon themselves or they abuse others all their life to live with the pain. Or they dance in and out of abusing self and abusing others all their lives and live a surface existance so they don't have to look at all that stuff buried deep within with hugh gpaing unattended wounds. We can't see the scars but boy do they cause havoc in the human energy field. NEVER EVER should we excuse an abuser for these kind of actions - but we must have compassion and we must pray for them and help them come out of this torturous lifestyle. Help them FREE themselves even if this is just by you exampling doing this in your own life. And many times our toxic family members don't want us to get better. They can't bully us or bend us to their will . . . Some times the only thing we can do with one of these kinds of people who refuse to look honestly within and fix it . . . YOU GOTTA WALK AWAY or you will go down with their darkness. EVIL is a CHOICE. So are happiness and love. Love starts within ourselves and emaniates outwards. BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN OUR WORLD MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

That's just the prosecutors perspective of their reasoning (you'd blindly believe that?); after having spend so much time identifying the dad with a new method, surely they become biased and eager to prove themselves; that became more important than the truth, thus their reasoning is twisted to support themselves rather than justice; basic human nature, everything we do is to uphold our self worth and esteem. "Devils advocate" here. The father might as well have been overly protective and paranoid about his childs wellbeing; maybe he simply went in to make sure she was alive. I know for a fact that some parents are scared shitless about the wellbeing of their sleeping child. Simply assuming that his intentions was abusive is extremely irresponsible, unfair and neglectful, ironically. The average person acts by feelings without introducing logic and unbiased thinking, and immediately bring out the pitchfork once there's just a hint that something horrible is happening. I agree with the jury if there was no evidence of abuse; him going in there at night is not proof whatsoever that he abused his child, it's merely questionable. If they had convicted him regardless, they might as well have destroyed a well balanced family, but you people don't think about that, because your feelings completely control you and make you see red. This mentality causes more hurt than it avoids. However, all that said, this is a double edged sword, and he might very well have had ill intentions, so we have to initially stay entirely unbiased and let evidence speak.

people value their peace of mind more than justice. They simply don't want to believe a father could do that to a child; "when he seems so nice" I'm sure he was there and was charming. The line about her not being upset enough is just reasoning to justify willful blindness. They want to believe child-molestation is something only a particular type of twisted social misfit does; not an otherwise happily married upstanding male of their community. That would be profoundly troubling; which isn't acceptable. No. it's much more comforting to assure one's self the girl is mistaken; or worse.

No, they're aren't taught to not cry (they may be be taught not to tell), it's the human variance in survival skills. I watched a documentary once of two sisters molested by their dad. I think they shared a bedroom. One was completely dry-eyed, stoic, flat affect, emotionlesd, matter of fact. By contrast the other sister cried, sobbed, was over emotional, weepy throughout the interview. I would say they were both deeply affected, but had different coping skills.

[@camelopardalis84]

+Lida Hall One thing is that people are not at all educated on how many types of behaviour are normal in victims of sexual abuse. I wouldn't be surprised at all had the girl not been able to stop giggling. No reason for me not to believe her. Not because I'm an expert in human behaviour in extreme situations. But because I know that I'm not. I know enough to know how little I know. I am humble enough to be able to admit to myself I'm pretty ignorant on the subject. Another thing is that jury members (and judges) sometimes just don't want to believe. A mother can burn her child with an iron, leaving the most typical burn marks on the child's cheek, burn marks that only occur when the iron is pushed on the child's cheek. Experts in the field can testify that it is not at all possible it was an accident, especially not the kind of accident the mother claims happens. Experts can cite statistics on the prevalence of child abuse. And the mother will still go free because enough jury members or the judge say "a mother would never do that to her own child."

While he took me home, just as I asked, he kept touching me in a manner that made me uncomfortable, and he went so far as to make me kiss him. I never cried about that, but I was traumatized for many years. If a man approached me on the street, I'd panic because I'd think he was going to assault me. Or if I had to be alone with a man, I'd be uncomfortable. So I do know firsthand that crying is not always a reaction to something traumatic.

Exactly, this is the effect of shock and adrenaline. You are too busy trying to protect yourself, and most people just comply and hope it passes so that they can leave with their lives. After the fact your brain is trying to protect you from that trauma, whether that involves suppression of memories or simply detaching yourself from the situation so as to not break your psyche.

My mom told me about something similar happening to her as well around that age, with some neighbour that offered her a ride. Disgustingly, these situations seem to be way too common and normalized. Fortunately she managed to react, face him and threaten him, but looking back she was lucky to have a lot on her side: raised to be confident and assertive, had a well known, big, protective family, common acquaintances saw her entering his car... the perv probably got afraid of my uncles going after him and dropped her at the next bus station. But so much could have gone wrong: fear taking over and blocking her, no strong social net, no witnesses, unknown agressor going violent... makes me wonder that for each not bad ending there are dozens other situations that end up in silent victims. Parents, and specially men, must do better to ensure children know they are heard and protected.

[@annetteku1]

Another Factor why victims dont “cry enough”...: they have allready told the story in detail many times before trial and crying is often accumulated anxiety about revealing the truth to outsiders and the most explosive burst of tears are the release of the Holding back combined With the fear of the consequences might be Going through intarogations and testimonies With police and psycologists etc and confronting sitting in front of a judge and jury the fear seals up much of the tears and you get a victim who looks more embarased than hurt just because of the fear of finding out the World truly does not want to help or make things Right or make the World safe again

Dear Dr. Black -- Thank you for your work! As a 73-year-old woman who was sexually abused by her father, I can personally attest to the fact that this crime affects one throughout all of life. My mother didn't believe me -- or opted for reasons unknown to me -- to look the other way. While, back in that time period, the internet did not exist, my father took inappropriate photos of me which he shared with others. There was a variety of abuses. Years of feeling unjustified shame followed me through my life. It's hard to express how very much I appreciate your work, and I can only hope that your valuable contributions will result in many more arrests. Sending greetings to you from the US.
