I was awakened in 1989 when my 8 year old son was molested. Needless to say, I was very very pissed and hurt, still am. But, still being asleep, I
thought, "I'll let the law handle it."
I went to the police and the State Police investigated, talked to my son, then came and talked to me. The Detective told me that he has interviewed
hundreds of kids over the length of his career and can tell when a kid is making up a story and when they are telling the truth. He told me that my
son was being completely truthful in his opinion, (which I already knew my son was telling the truth since we cried in each others arms for two hours
when he told me what had happened to him), and then the detective said he was going to the prosecutor.
A week went by and the detective called me and told me to meet him at the courthouse for the prosecutors decision. When I arrived at the
courthouse, the detective met me outside at the door.
He told me that the prosecutor wouldn't prosecute the case because it was my sons word against the molesters word. He told me how sorry he was and
that he wouldnt blame me for anything that I might do to the molester, and walked away. That day I realized that it who you know and who you blow in
this world, no matter what the crime.
I wrote a song about it back then just to help me deal with the emotions and the pain. Three days ago, I played the song again for the first time in
years and posted it on YouTube. Well, my son who is 29 now, was on my laptop and ran across that song. He started crying and ran outside. He hadn't
heard that song in 20 years. I ran outside and hugged him, held him like I did 21 years earlier, and cried again. Only this time I promised him that I
would take care of it, someway, somehow.
That was the day I woke up and learned that you can't trust or believe anyone in any kind of authority. The Justice system and TPTB , IMO, don't
deserve me to piss on their ass if their guts were on fire! The molester has walked free for 21 years now.
I thought my son had forgotten about it, I don't know, I thought maybe he had outgrown the memory or something. I know that was stupid thinking on
my part as I found out the other night..
I'm sorry for rambling, I just had to get it off my chest. If you want to hear the song, here is the link.
