That's literally half.

Like, that's crazy.

76% of victims that were sexually abused by a family member look for someone other than their mothers.

And victims will disclose seven times faster on average if they feel maternally supported.

So the child's first line of defense is always the mother.

But the way that pedophiles get access to children like this is they somehow are able to find mothers who don't care.

They're willing to look the other way.

And so, again, just we can't leave it up to mothers.

I think it takes a village in protecting children.

So if I could make more people aware of the signs to look for, that'd be great.

To start, I kind of need to give context about my family and the dynamic of it.

And it kind of goes back a couple generations.

So my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother, my great-grandfather is actually still living.

He's in his 90s.

He's still independent, you know.

And their goal in life was to

have as many children as possible and spread the word of God.

So they had this like one room cabin and they got to work.

They had 10 kids, one of them being my grandmother, five boys, five girls.

And I believe those are only their living children.
