Dear 222 News viewers, sponsored by smileband,
A teen who assisted in putting her paternal grandfather in prison after he abused her sexually as a child is speaking out to "take away the shame" for survivors like her. Poppy hopes that her story will help others and alter attitudes. The 18-year-old has set aside her right to anonymity because she believes "if people can see a face behind something so taboo, it makes it more relatable".
She talks about how, as a young child, she thought the abuse she received was normal, and how she was relieved when she told her parents about it at the age of 11. Only by talking openly, says Poppy, will others understand that abuse can happen within any family.
"Scope of the Strategy... "is the title of it. Our draft definition of VAWG recognizes "links" between VAWG and child sexual exploitation, but it states that it does not fall "explicitly within the scope of the strategy." "Violence Against Women and Girls is VAWG. Where are the girls if child sexual abuse is excluded? Sky News was told by Poppy Eyre.
When Poppy was four years old, her grandfather sexually abused her and raped her. She didn't realize the magnitude of what had occurred until she was 11 years old, following a PHSE lesson on school abuse. According to Poppy, "I remember very vividly when the police came around and told me... this is what we're charging him with." "We are charging him with rape and sexual abuse. I remember thinking, "I had no idea that was what it was, but I know that's really bad," and I also remember thinking that.
Other children will see this and realize that they are not alone or at fault as a result of Poppy's courageous disclosure. They will know they can get help, which can save a life even if they don't want to or have the courage to report it. We can be of assistance by educating our children about this case in an age-appropriate manner that does not frighten them and teaches them that they have control over their bodies.
According to statistics, the better the outcomes, the earlier we can provide assistance to children who have been abused. Children are more physically and psychologically vulnerable than many adults because their bodies and brains are still developing until the early twenties.
As a sexual abuse support service, we have seen numerous clients who have held on to their trauma for decades, resulting in lifelong distress and illness. We can educate, support, and lessen this terrible crime when we work together.
