Have addressed issue of sexual abuse noting in a post that I went through at age of 5 and talked from a young age. Reading the post again will add I told a therapist who was counseling our family, with counseling started before my parents divorced. So was 12 do remember back in 1982, where my Mom was taking advantage of affordable counseling remarkably thanks to Tift County community services providing them.
With a freer day to talk anything as Friday is supposed to be a discussion day, thought should bring up, with a terrible story of a sexual predator in the American entertainment industry over which there has been so much news. And with many others thankfully sharing their stories, which am certain is helpful for victims of sexual predation and helps prevent further.
So if you are in a situation with a person trying to abuse you, not only realize there is no doubt, but can maybe escape with as little harm as possible, and armed with the confidence and certitude to contact appropriate authorities. And also with such big news maybe appropriate authorities will also be more likely to handle appropriately with proper professionalism.
Other side of it here, is reminds me of why to be careful, and yeah, is a business risk involved too which I dread when considering the idea of commercial and referring people to some business entity, which have not done here yet. Still working on that as noted, but at least with this story with a prominent person before a rapid downfall in the entertainment industry can consider that abstract view of how it matters to you to avoid working with such a person.
Like readily admit, thankful for my policy of not naming people or organizations on this blog in general as part of its commercial position. And to explain that again, to not worry about potential of looking like promoting unless actually am when that would be disclosed just try not to use names for people or organizations which actually is usually a relief. Still is.
But that means can look like am throwing shade is the term, when will simply note that in looking at organizations involved with the outed sexual predator cannot help but wonder, what due diligence they did, especially newer ones? I'd heard rumors about this person and am not in the entertainment industry. What process makes an organization risk its own reputation in a world where these stories can start bringing justice against a perpetrator at any time? And regardless why be involved with such a person anyway?
Questions that can help define policy that prefers to be careful, and no, profit would never be a motive for me, nor an excuse. Will link yet again here, to a post made nearly two weeks ago on my G+ account from which have the following as my guideline:
Sharing at your best should not put you at the mercy of some of the worst among us, is something I like to believe. And consider as an effort to enforce a policy that maybe will matter at least for me.
(Update July 28, 2019: Removed link to now gone Google+ account mentioned. Quoted portion luckily stands on its own.)
Respecting boundaries was what focused on with my post here. I do think about that often and what it means.
