Liberated From Abuse

Sexual Abuse and Spanking



Spanked children don't regard their bodies as being

their own personal property. Spanking trains them to

accept the idea that adults have absolute authority

over their bodies, including the right to inflict pain.

And being hit on the buttocks teaches them that even

their sexual areas are subject to the will of adults.

The child who submits to a spanking on Monday is not

likely to say "No" to a molester on Tuesday. People who

sexually molest or exploit children know this. They

stalk potential victims among children who have been

taught to "obey or else" because such children are the

easiest targets.

Thus begins, another episode of The Wraith of Thor. First, a bit of background. I was cruising the net, and landed on an excellent site: nospank.net. As I read further, the wrath began to boil. I knew what I had to write on this week.



Parents teach their children in many ways that their body is subject to control to any adult. This may be through teachings of respect, or in this case, spanking. Riak makes an excellent point; "obey or else". Any child with this upbringing, if strict and done well, will do just that. I grew up, with the same parenting. It was respect, or get beaten. By the time I was seven, I was thoroughly trained. This time for me, overlaps the exact time that my abuse began. And alas, the man was not hurting me, he was helping me. So I thought. Although there was a bit of pain, I was trained, and he was the adult after all. I am not giving total credit for my abuse due to the fact I was spanked. There are many factors that lead up to a sexually abusive situation. However, for me, there was a double problem directly related to spanking.



Not only was I trained to let any adult have their way with me, I was also scared to tell my parents of the dirty deeds I had done, in fear of being spanked/beaten. For me, Riak has opened quite a can of worms. As I sit here this very moment, pondering on another factor that might have been changed to save my innocence. It is very difficult to think about these things, but crucial to understand.



Parents, if you are reading this and shunning the very information being portrayed, I advise you to click here. This could save the innocence of your child.
