Did you go to the police? What did they do
« on: December 09, 2007, 03:20:26 AM »
10 kids I know went to the police about being abused. In both cases. I nall cases, the police did nothing, and went so far as to tell the kids to their faces that they were lying. One kid was left in her abusive setting, and subsequently died. The other kids were adults and left, the torture center, remaining open.

Did you go to the police?

If not, why not?

What did the police do?

no because immediately after graduating, I was a program robot, and thought it was the best thing in the world, and anyone who would challenge it was just bitter or trying to get in the way of my program and recovery.

I assumed what was done to me was legal, as I was dragged through the streets begging for help. The police witnessed it, but allowed it to happen.

I do not live in the same state as the program, years have past.  Hasn't the statute of limitations run out, only kids that have just left the program can press charges etc?

Anon, I would look into whether you could still press charges. The statute of limitations depends on the crime, and the state.

I realize you may need to hire an attorney at some point, but I would start by calling your local law enforcement and ask. Or call your state child protective services. (I know, I know, many think CPS are horrible, but I know some really good and kind people who work in CPS.)  But these government entities have a duty to investigate.

You will need specific names, dates, and locations of the abuse. If there is enough evidence to charge someone with a crime, the judicial system pays for the prosecution. Otherwise you may have to seek justice through the civil system--suing someone--and that will cost you money to hire an attorney.

Some state bar associations offer a 30 minute consult with an attorney for $35 (the referral has to come through the bar), and some attorneys will talk to you for up to an hour over the phone without charge.

i think sadly, that survivors are in a state of learned helplessness, where they assume nothing can be done prematurely.

Definitely try. Go to the police. And contact one of the helpful agencies like cafety, heal or isac, to give you further advice.
