@thezenlady @dianea @paninid not just in the USA, it's a global phenomenon.
#CSA is just being scientifically studied in the USA and EU in terms of prevalence.
I suspected that CSA was worldwide but I am only familiar with the numbers from the USA and those were numbers from back in the 1990s - newer data may show it is even worse as more people acknowledge their abuse.

@thezenlady @dianea @paninid precisely that.
- Previously victims were either gaslit or otherwise silenced. -

@F3715H @thezenlady @dianea @paninid It looks like it's not only global but it's been organised by an incredibly powerful network of wealthy, prominent people. What I find so shocking is the sheer scale of it and how the very people we'd expect to bring perpetrators to justice might well be involved. So, what to do? Shock and outrage is warranted, justified, but how can we move forward?

@paninid @dianea Further thoughts .. I don't honestly know where to start with the "this bothers me immensely" scenario - that's an understatement obviously. As a boomer, I was brought up to believe that The Establishment, Queen and Country etc was honourable; yes, even MPs - otherwise how would they attain their privileged positions? But as you grow older, and more importantly, mass, near-instant communications arrived, The Establishment couldn't hide behind the facade of respectability, and we culminate in the Epstein Cesspit. I'm sure there are others too... As someone who's grown cynical over the years, you have to realise that my beliefs - nearly everything I was brought up to believe in - have been turned upside down, and there must be many, many others that feel the same. We're not victims in the same way that the real victims are, but the feeling of not knowing who to turn to, who to *trust* is deeply unsettling and bewildering. And just when you think it can't get worse, another turd surfaces 🤬

@GopherPete @thezenlady @dianea @paninid do it like #France and actually #investigate the #EpsteinConnection!

And the Brits are also investigating. Only the US is not because it is currently controlled by the "pedophile in chief"

@thezenlady @F3715H @dianea @paninid it seems the French have now raided Epstein's Paris office/apartment and have found a lot of relevant stuff. I wonder if they'll release pictures/files?
