It is in the Daily Mail,so presumably can be said without all the usual hints on threads about Corey Haim.

Scared you are right - and I can't help feeling so sad and protective of the child he was . As their parents didn't prevent it did they

Just seeing what happened to him in black and white makes me feel very protective and it feels like a further violation that's all really Sad

Stop Looking at so many child stars on every level and continent and the utter mess some of them are in Sad just makes you wonder if they are mostly in that mess due to abuse. It would explain a lot. I've heard quite a few rumours that would suggest it's a possibility. It's all so sad. Especially as these victims are often splattered across the front page with their latest arrest/rehab/drama. It's been unpleasant looking back at my childhood re evaluating films/tv/fellow pupils/teachers/situations. My best present ever has been hidden, OH's Rolf Harris print, we even got to met Rolf. I clearly have been very fortunate to not have to include myself as a victim.

I am reading a book and one of the characters was abused as a child . It's very cleverly written and you can see the immense damage caused for years and years - in just in a few minutes Sad

Yes it's probably a lot worse that we realise

gluteustothemaximus · 09/11/2017 17:24

I get that there's safety in numbers, but why are they all jumping out of the woodwork now, some of them being 15 years or more after the event. If it had that much of an effect on you, why leave it so long to say something.

I have an incident from 30 years ago, from someone famous. ‘Only’ a kiss, but I was just 6 years old.

I have only told DH. No one else will find out because he was so loved by all. So I will stay quiet because I will not be believed. BUT. If any allegations were to come out on him, I would join in too. It would be a relief to say metoo.

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 09/11/2017 17:39

I don't blame them

It affects for you for years and years so it's understandable to only raise it when there is a Hugh % chance you will be listened to and believed

It could be that CF did things (by force) to CH and that's why he was so defensive and angry because the abused was forced to become an abuser. It could also explain why he didn't outwardly name names. There could be video footage of him raping or abusing other children.

Wow - that’s one HELL of an assumption.

MissionItsPossible · 09/11/2017 21:39

Yes IT is. I was mindful to use assuming words.

badabing36 · 10/11/2017 00:09

I'm sorry I've seen the clip, I've not seen others. The comments are awful, I can't understand why anyone would think that makes feldman guilty. I see 2 abused people hitting out and getting angry at each other because are angry about the things that happened to them and the fact that their abusers haven't been brought to justice.

Why on earth would CF have carried on talking about this for years after CH's death if he was guilty too. I think he's been very truthful in his interviews about the guilt he feels for downplaying CH's rape, he has said they were made to think that this stuff was normal. The terrible thing about this kind of abuse is that the victims feel partially responsible.

HoneyIshrunkthebiscuit · 10/11/2017 10:52

I think it is unfair to cast aspersions against the other Corey. From that clip all I got was two men who had been abused as children and were struggling to fully come to terms with their own abuse they had endured let alone each others.

badabing36 · 10/11/2017 12:37

Yes I think it's slightly like the idea that women who posed for photos with weinstein at awards ceremonies must be lying and be willing participants. People don't always act like the perfect victim who speaks out immediately, names names and cuts all toes with their abuser and all their friends instantly. People are fallible.

badabing36 · 10/11/2017 12:37

Ties not toes

I thought this too Honey. CF could have been in denial, been angry with CH for letting it happen, any number of reasons for him to have acted the way he did. He's clearly very troubled now that he has lost his friends, perhaps that is what it took to make it a reality for him.

NotJustThreeSmallWords · 10/11/2017 14:48

And let's not forget that these women are paid to act for a living!
I had to keep up pretences around my abuser until the day he died. It's easier than you may think to carry on as normal so people don't suspect.

badabing36 · 10/11/2017 16:07

I'm sorry you went through that not Flowers.

Tollygunge · 10/11/2017 16:08

This is old news no?

Screepy · 10/11/2017 16:11

So much victim-blaming on this thread and elsewhere. I'm almost glad that CH isn't around to read it. Sad

I don’t like the term sodomised, it is a homophobic term. The word you are looking for is ‘raped’

QuackPorridgeBacon · 10/11/2017 17:03

I agree that it is so easy to act ‘normal’ around your abuser. Especially if like in my case that abuser was a step parent. It started when I was around 8 and didn’t end until I was 19. I tried to tell my mum but she didn’t believe me and so when I came to house sit for her whilst pregnant and with my partner I still pretended that all was ok. Only then did his abuse actually stop and that was because I refused to be in any room alone with him. It is very easy to pretend all is normal. It’s so much harder to tell someone for fear of being abused more or not believed or in my case, kicked out onto the streets.

PumpkinSquash · 10/11/2017 17:38

That's the term the newspaper went with which is presumably why the OP went with it in the title.
Instead of picking on semantics of the wording, what about the actual topic?
Whatever you want to call it it's all the same if true. Sad
