Anyway you DO in fact have to think about how you would respond if someone close to you got accused of something terrible*, and if your answer is "I would do nothing, because it's more important to protect my circle from harm, and it's probably not true anyway", congrats! Now you know exactly why most communities allow child and domestic abuse to fester like an open wound

Additionally, while it's important to understand the underlying reasons why some groups of people are more willing and able to commit abuse, focusing too much on identity is foolish. Adopting the stance that real abuse is only possible when one is a parent/blood relative/man/white/cis/straight etc, and only committed for a narrow range of reasons ("exerting power") is completely disconnected from reality, and simply makes it easier for you to comfortably ignore abuse that doesn't fit the model!

#discovering one of my friends was a legitimate child predator and attempted murderer was mind breaking #but i can’t imagine just. ignoring it? or being able to carry on like normal?#the fact is that anyone is capable of abuse and that means people you love are too. and you have to reckon with that when it happens.

If I speak…

The way many people talk about homeschooling and particularly kids who were homeschooled makes it very clear that they think the problem with homeschooling is that the children are cringe and not that it's a widely employed tool of child abuse wherein you as a parent can very easily completely cut off your child from the outside world and give them no other means of interacting with it except through you. Even the school system, as terrible and constraining as it can be, provides too much freedom to children in the eyes of a homeschooling parent.

If you want to completely dominate a child's mind and ideological development, prevent anyone else from noticing any bruises from "unfortunate accidents," have direct control over exactly who they see and when they see them, prevent them from seeking any form of help whatsoever, all you have to do is register your child as homeschooled and you can get away with anything you want.

Odd behaviour, poor social skills, and difficulty with adjusting to the outside world, all seen regularly in formerly or currently homeschooled children - these are all symptoms of abuse and deliberately constrained development. In the same way a victim of domestic abuse instinctively flinches when touched, the victim of abuse through homeschooling flinches when thrust into the greater outside world.

Before I get any comments or asks about it: I don't give a fuck if you personally had a good experience being homeschooled. Good for you.

#my experience being homeschooled was first an evangelical program that my former public school recommended #that gave me work that was WAY below my grade and that was like. What Did God Help Ben Franklin Discover?#and like Pray Before You Do This Math Quiz!#and then i switched to a program that was not ideologically evil but very. bad. like for the entirety of my highschool education #via homeschooling i only had TWO written assignments. the rest were multiple choice #and i became agoraphobic because i was a depressed homeschooled autistic kid who did not leave the house for 3 years #like. it was bad.
