Terribly sad and disappointing that even one child has to go through something such as this. He's smart enough to know that there are likely to be other victims so the child (now young adult) was more capable all along than he was being given credit for...even though there were some "intersted" adults that no adults persevered adequately to protect him. This is really an example of how the best intentions (with the exception of the predator's) went horribly wrong.
The boy/young man seems to have received excellent helps, however, as to recovery and I only hope he gets involved and soon with a Christian church.
One point in this child's favor regarding what recovery is possible is that he knows he took action against the predator. -- In a healing way his action can psychologically move him from victim to victor status... Unfortunately many children do not have the courage and or do not have the opportunity to confront the scum that stole their innocence...
--They often suffer silently ESPECIALLY when the sexual abuse is considered a politically correct right of passage for gender and or orientation questioning adolescents - a right of passage that homosexual predators are all too happy to 'help' adolescents engage in.
-- ALL this aggressively lobbied for by homosexual activists that now have recruiting 'clubs' in public schools...
Yup -there is no homosexual agenda... /sarcasm off
