Neruda brings up only two issues. Let me toss in a few more thoughts.
This forum is probably not the place for shining light on such crimes. Official channels and skilled prosecutors might be better. Trained professional therapists might be better.
This forum has rules about underage sex which we may be violating even now just discussing this issue.
On the other hand, ya gotta start somewhere. Sweetness is right about catharsis. May be just being anonymous here can kickstart progress towards healing.
This thread began as entertainment. Is it just entertainment, or has it grown into more?
Will Neruda be legally bound to report confessions of child abuse to the authorities?
"Semen in coffee cups at work" is grotesque. "My husband loves someone else" is sad. Child abuse is both grotesque and sad . We may have already stepped into the Serious Topics Zone and can't unring the bell.
It's like the WKRP episode when Jennifer had a call-in show. She gave flip, off-the-cuff answers to questions until a female caller was battered. Jennifer's answer was to quit.
The readership is here with eyes open. No one forces the confessions from anyone else. It seems we, readers and secret sharers and Neruda, have made a social contract with each other. We're something of an open-ended non-directional unofficial therapy group. We're all grown-ups. We choose to be here. Speaking for myself, and I know I am unanimous in this, if I can't take the heat then I'll get out.
I am prepared to read whatever secrets any person wishes to share. My squick is my problem. I hope I am free to confess any secret I wish to bring up in good conscience. I trust my identity will not be revealed. Personal responsibility and trust are all I've got.
And no one owes me a penny for my thoughts. This one is on the house, no cover charge, no minimum drink order.
I think you bring up several good issues here. I'm not as worried about the legal issues. I'm much more concerned about what damage or good I am doing. If any.
