Anyone else terrified?

Trigger warning: pedophilia, csa, rapeI don’t really have much to say other than, is anyone else losing their shit? From the Epstein files to this horrific TikTok https://ift.tt/oukTUNq I saw today, I am so terrified by the world I’ve brought my daughter into. I was also severely sexualized and groomed as a child so I’ve always been wary ALL men, including my family, including friends spouses, including my own daughter’s father. I want to keep her safe. I want all children to be safe. I feel perpetually triggered and overwhelmed with wondering what I can do to minimized the chances of harm to my daughter. I know the standard precautions single moms are advised to take: no significant other meeting your child for as long as possible, no sleep overs, teaching your child about their body and consent etc. But I’m still painfully and constantly terrified by all of the ways men in particular are capable of harming children. And I’m not in the mood to do the “not all men” bs right now because the pedophilic + rape culture is literally baked into every single facet of our society. Across race, class, religion, age. It’s everywhere. I have a friend who’s an educator who was forced to quit her job because she had a mental break after learning that one of her students, a 15 year old, raped another student, filmed it, and showed it to his peers.
