I was not, but I was there for two weeks and didn’t hear a peep. Not to say it wasn’t said, but I catch up with most everyone I know at the DIHP shows, especially because of the year we’ve had.
Rumorhasit93, fair enough. What may have been whispers then may be more spoken now. It certainly is a sad situation.

Yet narcissists make it to CEO more often than non-narcissists.
You have to have belief in yourself and your abilities to climb any career ladder, no matter the setting.

Narcissism and self-confidence are not, I repeat: NOT. the same thing.
And for every RF there is some local name being sat down. Success has nothing to do in this equation, except for the depth of social media uproar that follows.

of course they aren’t the same thing. I was too brief.
People of all levels of success have been messing around with kids since forever, regardless of their income level, work setting, etc. This foul behavior is not unique to any setting other than smary adult + access to kids.

Thanks for the clarification… I was admittedly puzzled by the comment 
From Rumorhastit93:
“You know this for absolute fact? Are you sure you’re not thinking of Jeff Campf?”
That was my immediate thought as well when I read the headline. Everybody is talking about the wrong Oregon trainer.

I agree but they look the same to kids and adults who don’t know any better.
I grew up with narcissistic parents and a narcissistic trainer. My parents had no idea that my trainer’s behavior was problematic because they too were narcissists themselves and narcissists are usually attracted to other narcissists.
When I was a kid I couldn’t tell that my trainer was a narcissist, I just thought she was the best trainer in the world because that’s how she saw herself so I did too. I didn’t figure it out until my 20s. Now that I’m older, i can meet someone and know in two seconds if that person is someone whose a knowledgeable professional who is confident in their abilities or if they’re just a narcissist.
This is why I totally understand how abuse can go on for years and years. You don’t know it’s abuse until you do.

And did the new “friend” have anything to do with reporting to SS? Asking for a friend. Jealousy?
What are you talking about ?

if you are a mandatory reporter it does not matter who the offender is. The protection goes to the child, not to the relationship.

No matter who it is, there has to be a complaint and an investigation.

Does Oreos Mom think teenagers are venegeful people who want to ruin people? Does she really not believe victims? Does she not understand the complexity of abuse ?? Does she have children? Does she understand power and manipulative behaviors ? It’s beyond depressing. I feel sorry for the victims. Let the process sort it out. Stop attacking the mechanisms put in place to guard vulnerable people.

She may or may not understand, but that has nothing to do with her posts on the topic. She’s just trying to find a hornet’s nest to kick. Best to ignore her.

One possibility is that she is completely deficient in empathy. Another (not necessarily unrelated) is that she just gets joy out of riling people up on the internet.

Thank you. You’re right.
I guess as a victim of childhood sexual abuse it’s traumatizing that an adult cannot comprehend why a child/teenager would not speak up.and to ascribe it to jealousy ??? Shame is a powerful thing. It makes me so sad.
