(7,330 posts)Not the OP, but Skittles, you give a good question, as you often do. Why is this SO important to some of us?
I can only speak for me. I have not sid much, but admit all this has triggered 75 yr old pain in me. I thought it was long ago "healed". It damaged me physically so no children. It affected my sense of worth even to today.
I never told. Too afraid. Why? Because adults in authority knew and could have stopped it.
America knew, and voted for him anyway. Twice. The people running Congress and Senate have the power to do something... and won't. I am one who believes this crime touches international leaders, wealthy business people, probably mobsters. My expectation is the crimes didn't die with Epstein.
Maybe silly on my part, but I almost desperately want us as a society to show every child in every country in the whole world that America will stand up for them..... as if we ever have.
My personal pain forces me to hope for them. It is too late for me. Probably none this makes sense. But it is the best I can do.
