A lot has been said in the media and on social platforms regarding child molestation and how it happens and who does it and what you can do to avoid it happening to you.
When I was 10 or 11, I remember we had a house-help called Catherine, she was a lively character who had sexual exploits and would tell me about them. On her off days on Sundays, she would go and have her carnal desires replenished and would promptly mark an S in her small pocket size diary when she did.
In those days, we housed a lot of people from time to time- my uncles and aunts and must have been at least four children plus a young baby; All of us in a 3 bedroomed house. We shared rooms and beds. It was therefore not unusual for Catherine to share the bed with me, even though my designated bed mate was my elder sister. What my parents don’t know is that Catherine was busy inducting me into bi-sexualism. She would have me kiss her and touch her nether areas and I remember being confused about “the hair down there” and kissing was just gross. It was our little secret.
Eventually, her rudeness and negligence at work got her fired and the ordeal was over. Parents often wonder why the child said nothing, I think it never dawned on me, until years later, just how wrong what had happened was and in those days, parents were authority figures, not friends. So with the social media swirling with such stories, I thought that it is about time I shared.
Please share if you have gone through a similar experience.
Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
