The lack of response to this thread mirrors the response that I see society at large doing. "Oh, that can't be happening, can it? Oh, how horrible, but I don't do it, I can't understand it, I'm going to look away and put my hands over my ears, la, la, la!" Every time silence is kept the action of the perpetrator is being condoned.
I would like to speak out more about this issue at large but I have had so many people turn their backs to me and walk away and not listen, its been heartbreaking. I could rant a bit more but I don't think it would be constructive here, so I wont comment anymore either. But I'm still disappointed with the response.
