Victim

 

Victim of pedophilia will be traumatic of the accident that happened to them. They need support and guidance from expert to handle the situation of their depression. Without help, they might be stress, traumatic, shock, frightened, bewilder, and that could continue to deeper and worst situation, where they will think that there’s “no purpose to live”. Support and help from family, relatives, and friends are really important because it will encourage them to live and forget about the past.

 

However, they still need help to discuss this matter with the expert like psychiatrist and doctor. These experts will lead them to the right way and advise them on how to release all their confusion and wound. The help is needed to break the "cycle" where the traumatic victims will grow up and build this depressed condition to something worse, like pedophilia. 

 

A Case Study:

 

Testimonial from a victim based from an Interview by "Malcolm X".

 

In a city, there was a boy named "John". He lived with his family. His parents were busy since they owned a famous store that time. Near their house, there was a bicycle workshop, where few workers worked there. One time, John went there, and it was really quiet there. It seemed that the workshop was already closed. Nobody was there, but a man called "Fred". He worked there as one of the bicycle mechanics. Fred then molested and sodomized John. Since John's parents were busy and they're not close, John kept this phenomenon all by himself. John, then grew up, but this traumatize is still rolling deeply in John's heart. He still hasn't told anyone about the memories, until few years ago. Nowadays, he lives as a homosexual man.

Analysis:

 

What happened to John is really-really sorrowful and painful for him. We can conclude that he's a strong man since he has no support and no one to help and support him during this hardship. He still can grown up, live, and continue his life.

 

However, based on studies, it's better for him to tell and share this catastrophy to his family. If he shared and told his family about this, they might help and support John to forget about the past. They also might ask the help from the expert to help John and to discuss his feeling. The experts might also tell John how to forget and how to handle his trauma, distress, and shock. Moreover, he might still have the chance to live again as an ordinary person.
