Adult Survivors of Child Abuse/ Neglect Survey |
 |
 |
 |
|
November 9, 2009 by Diane
I am conducting an anonymous survey of adult survivors of child abuse and neglect. This survey has IRB (institutional review board) approval, which means it has been reviewed by the Chair of this Board and she has given the authorization to proceed. It is being managed by McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland.
The survey results will be analyzed to identify and potentially substantiate needs of adult survivors of child abuse and neglect for specific services. The only requirement to participate is that the survivor must be 18 years of age or older.
The survey is located in the lower left-hand corner on this website’s homepage. When you click on “Click Here To Take The Survey,” it immediately goes to McDaniel College who is managing the information for me. No personal information is taken.
If you have any questions, please contact the Chair of the institutional review board at McDaniel College, Dr. Lauren Dundes at 410-857-2534 or
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
.
Your input into this survey will be very helpful.

Some children are smarter than they are given credit for. They need your help. I have found that an adult can learn more from a child than from a professional. The reason is simple: There is an old saying, “There is none so blind as the one who will not see.” I would change that to: “There is no one so deaf as those who don’t want to hear.”
When a child does NOT want to be around a “particular” adult, your child is GIVING YOU SIGNS. This could be sexual abuse or emotional abuse. These signs should be looked into and not passed off as growing up.

Who is responsible for the death of a victim of suicide following clergy abuse? Is it the hands of the victim or the actual abuser? You be the judge.
A victim of clergy abuse, let it be ages 10-25 or 30-55, these people in some ways “hate themselves” not for the good people they are but for the filth that was poured upon them as an innocent child- boy or girl. Their lies told them filled their minds with doubt, weakness, fear, rage, unbelonging. They were treated like worthless people, only to find out years later that they were worth something.

How deadly is ink when used in a fraudulent, perjuring way? Obviously it depends upon who is doing the writing (or perjuring). An MD or PhD can do it – without so much as having it notarized – to declare a person suicidal or mentally ill.
Now you will say, “Not without gross negligence!” Well it’s true – it can happen. Most states have a law that can force a person into a mental hospital without their consent. Force them to take drugs that cause even brain and/or muscle damage. You will say, “There’s no way.”
I say, “Always go backward before you can go forward.” This has been the story of my gradual recovery: you have to relive some of the past before healing can come. At last I am at the place where I, instead of someone else, can do the writing.

Today can you buy something for one quarter – 25 cents?
Well, that is how much I was offered to give oral sex to a man. Now, it was not just a proposition for sex – I was 8 and he was 33. It was on a typical Sunday visit to the in-law in a distance city. He never had a history of police record. He was a law abiding person, who had a family and was well mannered and went to church sometimes. This sounds like a ‘GOOD’ person, does it not? No!! It was a ‘child molester in disguise’. He was an Uncle by marriage, so there was no blood relation. Does anyone know the impact that this has on an adult when they were sexually molested as a child and live to tell the world what really happened? Do you know the nightmares, the horror, anger, fear, and more?

It is 1965. An ill thirteen-year-old boy has all the doors of his room locked as he tries to recuperate from a fever. A noise is heard outside the room as someone tries to open one of the doors, but it is locked. Then another door is tried, but this one is opened and the intruder walks in. The thirteen-year-old’s heart begins to pound and fear keeps the startled and weak child from yelling, but still afraid. The phone is two feet away, but why aren’t the police called? The child hears a noise, as the intruder is pulling a chair across the floor.

A beautiful sunrise appears, and a warm day is ahead…for everyone. Everyone else but the one who chose to take their own life by gunfire. The symptoms must have been apparent for 30 years – but who can keep watch over someone for so long?
Most ironic! How bizarre is the manner which the person chose! Was it the anger one would feel when someone would ask for help? No one – no professional – can determine when or if a person will commit suicide. The only one who knows is the victim.
