She's the reason why I feel it's incredibly important to listen when people come forward about abuse, and not dismiss or belittle them. This is why it can't be covered over when it happens. The only way to stop it is to bring it out in the sunshine so it can get burned away, and wither to nothing along with the perpetrator. It breaks my heart that she didn't make it out in time. I can't even imagine how terrified she was in her last moments.
Just seeing similar dynamics unfolding in other situations scares the crap out of me.
*hugs everybody on chaz* You all stay safe please.

I'd rather be the person who took someone who was internet fantasizing about being abused seriously than the person who blew off someone who needed support because I wanted to be too cool to be fooled.
