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.
I’m sorry that happened to you @snausagesinablanket and I hope the counseling is helping.
I don’t think it’s new, I think the explanation is the tabloidization of mainstream news media. If you stick to things like Reuters it’s way less coverage and what they do cover is quite dry.
