As a child I was never taught about #Boundaries When I was sexually #abused, I had no idea I could say “no”. I thought we just had to go along with what adults wanted, that they were all-powerful. Today, I regularly set boundaries & it feels good. #NarcissisticAbuse

“Jeffrey Epstein preyed on girls who were homeless and were addicted to drugs. He didn’t victimise girls who were Olympic stars and Hollywood actresses. He victimised people he thought nobody would ever listen to, and he was right.” theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…

It’s incredibly brave and hard for anyone to speak out against childhood sexual abuse - we’re here whenever you are ready #BirchallBecause apple.news/AQBWgNsb8RlOyV…

More children have been failed, this time by authorities in Bradford. As usual we will hear lessons have been learned and their pathetic apology. It’s not good enough and children in our country are still not safe. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

If you've been in any way affected by the events in #Lambeth, #Bradford or similar, and need someone to talk to, please reach out to us when you're ready. Full story via BBC News (UK) - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-579849…

Painful reading from not one, but two separate reports into child abuse (in Bradford and Lambeth). Lambeth council made it easy for staff to abuse children in care homes says new report londonnewsonline.co.uk/lambeth-counci…

In our Silenced Survivors report, we found that 2 in 5 gay and bisexual men had experienced stealthing, where a condom is removed without the person knowing or consenting. bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-…

So appalling - Culture of cover-up saw hundreds of children abused in Lambeth, report finds bbc.co.uk/news/uk-579849…

"Children growing up with toxic stress from abuse or neglect are more likely to have lifelong health problems." *Content warning - video and images of traumatic events* ow.ly/NBMe50uWv1u

Children in care were used as pawns by Lambeth Council to score points against the Thatcher government in a “toxic game”, the official sex abuse inquiry has concluded. @InquiryCSA telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/07/2…

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and migraine often co-occur, but researchers knew relatively little about how or why this happens. A new study in Frontiers in Neuroscience is the first to investigate if the conditions have a common genetic basis. bit.ly/3eMagJi

Survivors have to live with emotional scars of what happened forever. A half hearted apology years later does not undo years of prolific, organised sexual abuse. I stand with the survivors

Absolutely vile human being I hope they through away the key.

Another apology for the serious failure for abused children. stop making excuses, these children are living a life sentence because of the abuse they have suffered whilst the perpetrators remain unpunished and walk free.

A woman contacted me yesterday who currently has a video of her on Pornhub drugged and being filmed against her will on a monetized verified account. Why? Because Pornhub still does not reliably verify the age and consent of every individual in every video. #Traffickinghub

“PORNHUB and xHamster are set to be blocked in Germany after the sites' lack of cooperation in implementing age verification checks.” #Traffickinghub thesun.co.uk/news/15713153/…

How many abusers would stop abusing if they lost their job, money, social standing, freedoms, respect bc they chose behaviors which harmed their family & others? If we all drew firm boundaries around abuse it would be less prevalent.

INFINITEHOPE @BENNHallRugby Ahhh you’re so lovely xxx
