This makes me sick to my stomach... All the denail to protect an image... I've never met a pedophile that was "cured" and unfortunately I've met a few in my life. One I could get away from, the other, my uncle... not so much. He rap*d a female taxi driver and they all made it out to be her fault for taking in a drunk man and drive the shortest route to get him home... Until my mid 30s, that was what my father truly believed, until I told him that that sob had been sexually abusing me from age 2, maybe 3 until way in my teens whenever he got the chance and me, as a toddler didn't understand what was happening and as a teen couldn't tell my parents because they were both sick, and I couldn't tell my grandma because she would have protected me had she known, right??? Later it turned out I wasn't the only one he used but all kept quiet... Never will I advise anyone to "not tell" and never will I believe that finding religion means they are forgiven and to be trusted... Good for you to speak up, this needs to be known...

It doesn't matter if he found God or not, the damage has already been done. He does not need to be around children.

With all due respect, I would puree his testicles "Born again" or not.

Sorry, but Tony would have an accident. I saw my Mom try to knock someone down the stairs just for being a b^tch. Tony wouldn't have lasted long in our family.

Blow his world up and don't apologize. He has to know why children are being kept from him, so it probably won't be a surprise to him when this happens. If there's grief given, so be it. This has to be done, no question about it.

Silence always aids the perpetrator or opressor & never the victims! SPEAK OUT

She should really just completely blast him on social media and in person. I know blasting ppl on FB is kind of childish, but these ppl can't always keep an eye out for everyone that has a vagina and young. Why hide it, he's disgusting, tell the world. Also, and it may be because I'm an atheist and jaded, it pisses me off to the 10th degree when some POS claims they found Jesus esp in prison settings when it's stuff like this - I want to scream, "Your god can't absolve you a*****e, you will be a piece of s**t until the die you f*****g die"

It’s sad people like this exist

This. My family my friends family. I decided after my son had a talk that I was not going to pass this to a new generation or wait for him to die. I have never been so terrified or brave in my life

My Mom's first husband did this to their daughter (it's why they divorced). I met him the first time when I was 15 and no one told me why I should keep an eye on him when he was around, but I was told to make sure he wasn't alone with my niece's. Upon him walking into the room, it took just one look from him at me to understand why no one should be around him alone. It was summer and I was just wearing a t-shirt and shorts, but I felt as though I had no clothes on. I never imagined I could feel dirty from just a look, but there it was. Why they let him come around is beyond me. I don't think "because he's my dad", is a good enough reason. Disgusting people all around.

This is beyond horrible. He should be behind bars. Laws exist for precisely this reason. I hope you do and so sorry for what happened to your mother and aunt!!!

Do it! Tell them! They need to know before someone like you is not around to save these poor babies from that monster!!!

"finding god" does not get rid of the problems in that person's brain. Honestly he should have been in jail a long time ago or at least excommunicated from the family.

Maybe mention it to a counselor and let them help feel better. Also police should be involved, it all needs to be aired for the sake of the victims.

If you want to forgive someone for anything, that is a grand and wonderful thing, the person who did wrong no longer lives rent free in your mind. BUT there are some wrongs that you NEVER trust the person again. And if the predator is truly repentant and changed, he should be the first to say "don't trust me, dont leave your kids with me. I know I'm safe, but you have no way of knowing that" Forgiving does not and should not equate to forgetting or trusting.

Thank you.

Two of my uncles are drug addicts and alcohol addicts, my family still invites one of them over to Christmas parties and they always make rude or inappropriate comments about my and my cousins. Me and my mom and aunts try to keep my little cousins away from him but he tried to show my 7 year old cousin(male) some very not age appropriate pictures at one point and it still makes me uncomfortable to this day, it's rumored that he's doing better but I still don't want to see him around there. Luckily My other uncle lives quite far away, and the rest of my uncles are somewhat normal, but that's the reason why I get uncomfortable around some men.

Why no police? That’s all I can think of to say. Why does nobody just tell the police?

one of our uncles is "touchy" with the females in the family, I usually steer him off but he came over with our aunt {rip love you terry~} and when she went upstairs he started getting "close" to my sister, such as leaning over her {she has...larges breasts so shirts suck for her} and trying to touch her neck and back, she told me how she let him do it for about a moment then grabbed her knife {we go for knives instead of guns mostly lol} and held it up for a moment, then turned to him and put it to his throat and said sweetly "would you please back off?" and said he turned white and walked upstairs to our aunt and after an hour, they left, and apparently he never told anyone, and its one of those great stories in the family for a while {about 13-14 years, since she was like 17 at the time and were in our 30's}

I’d attached jumper cables to his balls and start the car

Preach! And expose that waste of life!! I have a relative we do this same sort of thing with. My abuelita's husband molested my cousins and myself when we were young (around 5 or so) It wasn't until last year that we told her everything. Nothing has changed, except now the family knows why you don't leave your kids alone with him. Luckily he's back in Cuba. (My family is from Nicaragua 🇳🇮)

This is terrible. Hopefully her family doesn't act like I am afraid they will and shun her for calling it out

Good for you.

Yes!

That sort of secret is dangerous...the worst kind of evil comes from those that know but do nothing...

Do it! Rapists don’t need to be protected.

Good for you.

Telling the truth is the ONLY way that the abuse has any chance of ever stopping.

God can also be found in jail. One thing does not exclude the other. He has made peace with god, but not with the law, the victims, the damage... He will go to paradise, wherever that is, but human laws are to be applied while on earth.

I have an uncle that did that too. My sister , my cousin I know for sure. When the family found out everyone fought and no more family functions. Then my gradfather passed away and all of a sudden my uncle was "forgiven" and they all acted like it never happened. My sister killed herself My cousin is still mess and the sick bastard is just living his life.

Amen

OMSTARS! and here i thought i was unique in this similar situation! i did speak up when i was getting ready to start my senior year in high school only to be called a whore and other horrible things and i was told that i brought it all on myself because i was asking for it! smdh. this was a very long time ago back in the mid 1970’s but some wounds Never heal.

Do not blame you. Protecting the children is the most important thing to do and that cannot be done by keeping secrets.

Prepare to be shunned for a long time. That's just the reality of it.

Good for you and your family!!

I think you are not protecting a rapist. You are protecting two people at the same time: the children, snd the reformed person a rapist has become, which is what we all hope they will become.
