At least 56,575 children are sexually abused every year.
That’s according to U.S. child protective services records.
The number is staggering—yet it only reflects child sexual abuse that is recognized, reported, and found likely to have occurred against children ages 0-17.
FBI crime data shows that 51% of reported rape is perpetrated against people ages 0-19.
That’s approximately 61,754 young rape victims every year, including our most vulnerable children, adolescents navigating middle and high school, and young adults just beginning to move through the world with more independence.
Internet? That’s enough humanity. We had a… run. Time to burn it all down.
fwiw, I think this is their actual endgame: use digital to convince people this isn’t a small cabal of the ultrawealthy causing so much of this harm.
They say dictators don’t need majority support, only a majority of people doubting themselves.
It’s really not a small cabal of the ultrawealthy though.
