North America network of childs abusers

Successful evidence of organized child sexual abuse was revealed in the survey. Responses from child abuse survivors in North America and Europe revealed that 52% were victims of a network of abusers overwhelmingly involving their own parents, sharing images and even their children Even with others.

"We were really shocked by the organized sexual abuse in our investigation," said Lianna McDonald, Executive Director.

The survey defines sexual abuse as multiple investors, mainly parents and parents, creating and sharing images of child sexual abuse, exchanging children for sexual purposes, or engaging in "treatments Sadistic, torturous and ritualistic ". Their abuse, like 60% of respondents to the survey, involved a parent.

"I always remember trying to get out, screaming or kicking. I would always remember the camera flash and I would have been woken up every year to take a picture of the school's identity. 'It was really hard because they would have all these flashes ... That would take me back to that. "Before she even had any words, she remembers thinking that something was wrong. They all took pictures all day with the kids. "

"It's so much bigger than me and out of my control, so it's really hard to live, knowing someone doing something with these photos at any time of the day. They have been silent for too long because they feel humiliated and embarrassed. "I know something good to come out at the end" says Rosemary. We had to do it for one reason we could help other people. "

“We were definitely most shocked about the extent of organized child sexual abuse in our survey,” says executive director Lianna McDonald. “We learned that often those closest and most trusted by children were responsible for not only abusing their children, but sadly, also orchestrating and facilitating the abuse by many others.”

The survey defines organized sexual abuse as involving multiple offenders, primarily parents and relatives, creating and sharing child sexual abuse images, exchanging children for sexual purposes or engaging in “sadistic, torture-related and ritualistic abuse.”

Dozens of children were victimized by the group, court records show. Several enforcement officials at the time called it one of the most disturbing cases they’d seen in their careers.

In separate interviews, Rosemary and Odette recalled their father abusing them and bringing men home or taking them to the homes and offices of others. All three remember a trip to another city where their father took them to the home of one of his friends who had two children of his own. Odette and Rosemary were separated into different rooms, they recall. “She would comfort me and tell me everything is going to be OK . . . . All we have to do is smile . . . . I remember it being really uncomfortable and scary.”

“I remember screaming and her screaming that we didn’t want to be separated,” Odette says through tears. “I remember them molesting us, taking pictures, undressing us. I remember always trying to get out, scream or kick.” Lucy, aged 10 at the time, was on the other side of the locked door, desperately trying to help, but unable.

“I could hear them crying and trying to touch the doorknob to get out. That was just a horrific moment for me . . . . Now I know they were being raped.”

Carol Hepburn, Seattle lawyer, says their story is representative of so many others.
