"Sibling sex abuse is now recognised as the most common form of intra-familial sexual abuse"
(image retrieved from: gallianoswhore.tumblr.com)
Are we really surprised though?! When boys are being exposed to rape porn, incest porn, bestiality, torture porn at the ages of 11 and sometimes much younger. Boys are growing up on a diet of porn and it is breeding them into a brutal, callous version of masculinity. It is messing their brains up so much they are acting out on their own siblings!!
I have attached the link to this article in the SMH where Benjamin Law talks to the victims and the perpetrators of sibling sexual abuse. If the next generation is growing up with the empathy smashed out of them, then what hope do any of them have of forming a healthy idea of sex. When a child isn't even safe to be around it's own siblings there is something seriously wrong! If you have to be wary about your children bathing together in fear that this will create an environment for abuse to occur then how will a child ever feel safe and protected.
Reading this article creates great fear in me of why this is happening?
What happened to that family bond that consisted of love, protection, innocence, fun, kindness, the kind of attitude that was "i will do anything for my family" How have we grown to be a society that smashes all of those 'family' qualities and instead replaces them with sexual and physical abuse? This is deeply disturbing and the long-term damage will unfortunately pass on from generation to generation.
"In Australia, the New Street Adolescent Service - a NSW program addressing under-18s who have sexually abused people - consistently finds that roughly 50 per cent of their clients' victims are siblings."
If you know or are a victim of sibling abuse, it is not your fault and no, it is not ok!
