I don’t know what else to say about my grief, except for this, because this is what I seek to know about myself.
Everything hurts.

Teach your men to be nice.
Be brave and break societal conditioning. Be nice.

Another user wrote, “Strength to you! It takes immense courage to be able to speak out about the horrors of one's child abuse, but it is the need of the hour... Awareness and vigilance is the only solution.”
Strength to you! It takes immense courage to be able to speak out about the horrors of one's child abuse, but it is the need of the hour. Every 1 in 2 children face abuse, and in most cases from family/relatives/friends. Awareness and vigilance is the only solution.

More power to you for confronting the truth! Most people(inc. parents) will never want to talk about what happens to boys. They are expected to be tough and act as if it’s not a big deal :(

Hugs and more Power to you Rahul. This revelation is painful, glad that you chose to do it regardless. Kudos! This will help some of the children to speak up and the parents to be more involved in their child’s life. How can we protect the street kids?

Thank you all for the tremendous support. Your kind words have helped me more than anything else. I request all of you to closely guard your children and look out for sudden behaviour changes- they aren’t equipped with enough skills to communicate the horrors they survive.
