I am a sexual abuse victim as a toddler. I am 60 and I still have cPTSD and need counseling. I cut off all local news to help with depression and anxiety and only read what I choose, yet in the past week there are literally over a dozen new cases with attempted kidnappings, peepers in bathrooms and showers, multiple rapes, CSAM from various religious organizations, and lawsuits going back decades. It seems like a pandemic of predators is happening.
No, we just openly talk about it a lot more than we used to.
This is partly for “good” reasons, like cultural changes that have made it possible for more children to come forward about being abused; and partly for “bad” reasons like scaremongering and clickbait.
