There Is Too Much Society Does Not Know About Child Abuse.

The Hidden Child Abuse in Your Community

Much of society is not educated in one very important aspect of child abuse. Yet this one aspect is at the heart of years of undisclosed incest, child porn, child couriers for drugs and other forms of child exploitation. Many children targeted for such activity grow up to be not only victims of long-term child abuse, but also eventually victims and outcasts to their family, friends, and community—including law enforcement.
The children who grow up with the survival mechanism of dissociation are blessed from memory of the abuse at the time it happens…and are plagued with it decades later when the memories may begin to bleed through walls of amnesia. A sizable segment of pedophiles know dissociation inside and out and use it to their advantage. What is better for a pedophile than a child who has no memory of being assaulted repeatedly for years?
The common factor for these child victims is that abuse begins so early in childhood that damage has occurred predominantly by age six and almost always by age nine according to leading experts on childhood dissociation. The extreme of dissociation is where our nation is misinformed and intentionally misled. It was formerly known as multiple personality disorder. The current term is dissociated identity disorder (DID). To those with DID, they are grateful for a childhood where they were saved from such memories.
The media has provided us with incorrect and sensationalized depictions of DID along with propaganda about "false memories" coming from our most wounded victims of child abuse. Why? Because when the child becomes an adult and begins to remember (usually between ages 35 and 45), he or she may recall the abuser(s). We can’t have that now, can we?
Pedophiles know that a dissociated child cannot tell others of the abuse because there is no conscious knowledge of the abuse. Pedophiles take advantage of that dissociation. No one in that evil world of child abuse wants either a child or an adult survivor of dissociated childhood abuse to be believed. Child porn and sex rings prey on children coming into this world as babies and children kidnapped at an early age. They know how to traumatize an infant or young child systematically to cause dissociation, thus ensuring a child who will likely never tell during most of her lifetime. A pedophile is assured of having sex for the victim’s lifetime through child alters as the victim ages, unless or until the victim begins to heal and can pull herself out of a very dangerous environment.
Networks of sophisticated pedophiles exist everywhere. (Sophisticated, for purposes of this article means to have knowledge of how to use dissociation in their favor.) What happens when a dissociated child—a victim of long-term childhood sexual abuse—becomes an adult? These sophisticated pedophiles who are aware of adults still fully dissociated know how to cause a child part to respond. Even more devious is child parts can be called out with a cue (given to the victims by the abusers in a state of terror) for purposes of sexual abuse, trafficking drugs, and other illegal acts without any conscious knowledge on the victim’s part.

And what happens when an adult who might still be a victim of abuse begins to heal and tries to get help from law enforcement? You respond, for instance, to a rape and find an adult woman in a state of panic or terror speaking and behaving as a child. Typical response, unfortunately, is to dismiss the woman as crazy, thus ensuring amnesty to her current abusers as well as punishment for having tried to tell. Using a dissociated child state of an adult is reprehensible rape. We have no word for a pedophile who abuses a dissociated child state of an adult because society has not wanted to know about such things.
A most insidious aspect of organized pedophiles is the extent they will go to change the environment or their own appearance to create a bizarre memory for the person being abused. This also happens with children who have not dissociated. Pedophiles have tactics to make sure that whatever the child reports will not be believed. This includes use of masks, costumes, frightening paraphernalia, animals and reptiles that usually evoke a terror response, and more. A trauma memory encases aspects of the environment in which the abuse occurs. Think about how much this makes sense in a world designed to abuse children. The world would have you believe that survivors of sexual abuse who remember such atrocities as "satanic cults" or other seemingly bizarre or unbelievable scenarios have somehow all been brainwashed or are crazy. It is an intentional guise. It is abuse being ignored on a global basis because of the centuries old deception. It is the dirtiest secret behind child abuse. If we, as a nation, wake up and figure it out, they will no longer have free reign over our children.
If society could set aside the environment remembered for child sexual abuse and focus on the abuse and begin to work with dissociation, the premise on which pedophiles build their porn and sex rings might begin to crumble. It will take all helping arms of a community to come together to begin bringing down the very high and sturdy walls these child predators have been hiding behind. No one wants this in their back yard. The good people of the world do not want it on this planet.
Healing our society needs to start with one community at a time. Why not your community?

The blog http://dirtiestsecret.blogspot.com has more detail about pedophile tactics. The related blog http://believethechildren.blogspot.com profiles a 6 year old boy's disclosure and his double language. A tactic I just recalled is use of opposite terms so the child has a backwards language. This young boy who has been safe for several years is still having problems in school with left, right, up, down, etc. His abuse was under the term "time out". When had visits with the safe parent, he would tell them his bio-mom and/or mom's boyfriend put him in time out. The response would be "They did? What did you do?" So the child was having the message he somehow had done something wrong reinforced each time he tried to tell. It's so deceptive.

The most dangerous pedophile is the one the court forces the child to live with particularly when the protective parent is forbidden from seeing the child. Caregivers, generally parents, killed about 1500 American children each year in America. www.DefendTheChildren.com Children all over are being force to live with abusive and often pedophile parents with the nonabusive, loving and protective parent losing part or all custody because the child was brave enough to report the abuse. It is important to note that when a pedophile gains custody,he or she is still a pedophile==because the pedophile is a parent with custody, that pedophile has the same rights as any other parent and therefore can and does go to your child's school, playground, take picture of children at dance rectials, soccer games etc. Please also note that pedophile often use pecular names for sexual parts such as noodle, frogman, alone with the typical terms for the penis etc. Innocent words like flower, cookie might mean genitalia. Yes, they make the children sound like they are making things up and not creditable. We need to demand that the children her listened to and protected.

Very enlightening and compelling article. I hadn't ever thought about the fact that pedophiles have networks and share knowledge about effective methods to pursue, traumatize and contol their victims. Most people don't realize that children can more or less take themselves out of body when being abused in order to cope. They just take themselves away mentally. Its too bad that this subject isn't talked about more so that victims could receive better help and pedophiles caught. and taken out of circulation. (Permanently) Excellent article.
