| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

| | Yer mate... I can't fathom your frustration because it hasn't happened to me, but I can gauge a good idea from how I feel about it already IF it did happen to one of my children. I know I would really struggle not killing them to be perfectly honest, spending my life in jail because they hurt my children of such a nature. I know it wouldn't be pretty if anyone every touched one of my children... I would likely have to be restrained from them if ever coming face to face with them. Likely the best option would simply never put the person near me, or I would be going to jail for murder and they would be dead for touching my child. I can gauge the level of frustration just from what I feel about such a thing occurring to my own children mate....
You have my email Jim if you need to chat with me.... use it if you don't want to discuss in public mate. |

| | I would want you to prosecute. I am a rape survivor, and the police refused to help me or even take the evidence i had because they were friends with the man. I have never forgiven the police for that.
It would be very difficult for me to let that man go to work in the morning if I knew where he lived. I am one vengeful, vigilante bitch.
You will be saving countless other children for PTSD and possible suicide, Jim. Do it for me. |

| | Anthony, much appreciated for the offer to speak privately. May take you up on it.
2quilt, appreciated also for your story and sentiment. Evie says she is fine with our involvement. So. No worries. I intend to pursue this. You are now officially included in the list of reasons. :-)

| | Brief update. We now have 12 families interested in pursuing this. Met with some just yesterday, as I am in Canada currently. Others thinking about it, and more yet who have been contacted. Believe we will have a strong case.

| | Jim,
I've not made any posts on this thread mainly due to the fact that this subject really hits close to home for me. Actually, the first time I saw the thread name it was like a punch in the chest. I have followed it, though.
But if you can help put this sick son of a bitch away and save other children from suffering what a lot here have suffered...then please do it! I'm with 2quilt, do it for me and for the rest of us who never have and never will have justice for ourselves against the people who hurt us.

| | Jim,
I too agree.....If you can stop just this one man, think of how many children that you will save from going through what he has already done to others....
I applaude you, Kathy and all of the other families that have come together to have a strong voice.
I wish you all well...... | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
