Wife and I just watched this and all I can say is it is horrific and heart-wrenching. I was outraged when the story first broke and it's only gotten worse watching this documentary. My heart absolutely breaks for the HUNDREDS of young girls - now young women - he sexually abused.
The part that hurts the most for me is all it would have taken is ONE adult to the the right thing to end this violence. ONE ******* ADULT. They had thousands and thousands of opportunities and not a single ******* adult did the right thing.
My wive is part of Women Helping Women through the YWCA and her committee has secured the judge from that trial to speak at their annual event coming up. I am reluctant to go as my outrage will only grow but one of my roles as an adult is to look out for those that can't defend themselves and try to give them a voice.
Minutes after the show was over, after I wiped the tears from my eyes, my wife told me about being abused in HS in Davenport 40 years ago. I'm terrified to ask her the details and find myself wanting to stick my head in the sand like all the other adults - and the thought I might do that terrifies me.
