Predators are like sharks. They smell who's already bleeding.

It is so backwards that the more terrible things happen to a person, the less people believe them. People say they are trying to be victims because it sounds like too big of a coincidence of all that happening to one person.

Well yes, that is the point. Its actually almost certainly not a coincidence. Predators are like sharks; they smell who's already bleeding. 

And that is why it is so extra important to take issues seriously the first time.

And what a lot of people don't understand is when they hear statistics reports about how bad things are in general, if your thought is "well I'm around and I haven't noticed it being that bad" you have to understand that the situation is not that the average report is fake, but that it's because someone else is bearing your share of the suffering that makes up that statistic.

It is so important to believe and take victims, especially children, seriously the first time.
