Child Abuse Story From Nora

by Nora
(Canada)




Child abuse in the end of 60s beginning of 70s: 
I am trying to find pictures taken of me in the 60s. I was sexually abused and I believe my pictures have made a fortune to some people in my city.

It took me about 40 years of in and out counselling, therapy, depression drugs, etc to remember, but I am finally understanding and healing most of my anger, fear and belief of useless of me as a person.

I have been able to remember names, situations and places where things have happen and I would like to know if there is a way to recover these pictures.

I believe this people were part of a world organisation which might still be acting today. One of my attackers is living a very private life in my city and no one in there would ever imagine his involvement in sexual abuse.
I am still afraid to confronting him. Can you give me suggestions on what to do? If you know where I can get help I would appreciate to have this information.
Sincerely thanks.

 My pictures
by: Scott Canada

I have been working for a long time trying to recover missing school photos in hopes of finding the "class photo" that contains my abuser. The woman who repeatedly beat me in the classroom.

I have even gone as far as explaining it to my old classmates the reason for my persistence in the matter and from all of the work I have recovered only a couple.

Its unbelievably frustrating when I beg people to please search their attics or parents home and with all the promises comes heartbreak as only one or two bothered to even try. Lots of promises.
These are public school photos and all the children should have a copy.
I too am trying to recover the missing memory of what happened to me in that school in 73. I wish I could at least identify her. Get her name.
I can only share what has happened to me. I cant even find publicly distributed school photos.
Good luck Nora.

 It's hard
by: Suzanne

Nora, I know it can be hard to try and track down these pictures in the hope of removing them from circulation etc, however in this day and age It seems like we could be fighting a loosing battle.

I was sexually abused by my babysitter (and later on, by his friends) for 10 years. During which time he photographed and video taped the abuse. I have finally found the courage to report him to the police here in the UK. One of the interviews was to try and help the local police here identify any of the millions of images they have on record as being of me. It's a long process and I do sometimes think it is hopeless, but I am sticking with it.

I wish you luck in your quest and hope that your local police force can help you. Remember, never give up the hope.
