To be surprised the lady that stabbed the paedophile got 3 and a half years?

Just that really. I thought she would get longer. The world is a better place without him but still .... She murdered him.

she has Badger the post was deleted by MN - at my request

I was accused of making up a new story and personality - neither of which is true

I am sure the paedophile ring or friends of the murdered man are very sad about his demise, and I would imagine it has made them feel very threatened and frightened indeed.

What if everyone starts to deal with known and convicted paedophiles this way? Perhaps there will no longer be a place to hide if you are convicted of abusing children.

Perhaps the courts need to reflect public opinion but increasing the sentences for convicted paedophiles, so that the public are not reduced to taking the matter in their own hands. Maybe decades and decades, possibly life in a festering prison would be a better deterrent.

Lily your post was deleted so it's easy to pretend you didn't

'oh it's you' ...'back with a different STORY and personality' was your response to my post in which I disclosed my rape aged 4

you really are something to pretend it never happened - you realise the damage your nasty posts could do to someone more fragile

I leave you to your denial and wish you well on your journey to finding peace x

Ghosty I don't think you mentioned any of this in your last posts, or anything like it. I was very surprised by your latest emails, and had you down as an apologist in the last thread. However if you are a victim, I feel deeply sorry for you and your situation. It is not easy to bear is it? In any event I wish you a complete recovery, and it is good to hear you have set up some wonderful support groups for others.

Ghosty thank you for your message, there is no denial on my part and I can only wish you the very best genuinely, this is a tough subject which we have all had to endure. I do think you raised an important point about children keeping silent, it must not happen, ever, no matter the consequences.

Adults must be in control of themselves and their actions, it is never the child's fault or responsibility.

I hope you will too, will find peace, it is the very least we deserve xx

I'm not a victim - I am a survivor, I did mention it - on this thread and the other one

your dismissal and denial of that is really difficult to read as someone who was dismissed and disbelieved as a child

I am healed, I am fine I am whole

but I may not have been and I could have been damaged by your assertion I was telling a 'story'

please try and listen and be kind - it's obvious you are angry but that doesn't give you any moral high ground - you still need to hear other people x

oh and I haven't messaged or emailed you :)

to clear up any confusion

I'm hiding this now - try and be fair to people

I think my experiences, when they are diminished by others, and I am asked to be sympathetic to abusers and men that dream of abusing others will inevitably cause some tension. I would imagine you feel the same. It is a difficult subject to say the least.

I wish you well as I said, and wish you the best for the future x
