Why is the abuser still allowed to continue his career and even work with children? A little googling reveals who it is.
Why is there this collective blindness and enabling around abuse done by people who are young (as this abuser was when he started the abuse), handsome, charming and talented? Or is it somehow seen as less when the victims are boys or young men?
I find this culture of tolerating and overlooking and excusing the abuse of boys and young men really hard to understand, yet it is prevalent in certain communities and fields of work. And I think there is a lot of hiding around 'grey areas' and abuse of authority.
A lot of people also don't consider it abuse if it is targeted at people who are over the legal age. And a lot of men seem to feel entitled to behave like this and expect to get away with it, even 'in plain sight', completely brazen.
And the grooming of other people around the victim so people don't question what seems strange or wrong, or just a bit 'off' about some people.
Why don't we call out on this?
