Its been decades since I did any X/mdma but I don't recall it being something that would cause you to not be pissed about something bad happening to you the next day.
When it comes to children, I'm guessing its easier to manipulate them into thinking it's their fault because they "liked" it and wanted to keep going, even though it's the drug. It's easier to keep kids silent if they think they are part of the guilty party and not the victim.
The article says children but doesn't give much more info. I'm imagining an 8 year old and I'm struggling to think of any other reason.
I agree but in todays world kids get some instruction on abuse. While its possible that his granddaughters have been kept as ignorant as possible. Most kids get some, if very limited instruction on abuse in most schools in the country these day. Its one of the reason why scumbags like trump and his brothers and sisters in abuse hate 'woke'. They don't want their victims to be educated about scumbags like them. My daughter received some education on abuse when she was in school. Some very basic things early on with a little more detail as she got older. I of course gave her quite a bit more than the school did. So much so I was called to her school one time to ask why I was giving he so much information on it. I made the reason why very clear to them.
I was sexually abused as a child. By two people. One was a family member. I was punished by my parents for trying talking about it. It was easier for them to let me be abused than it was for them to do something about it. After all what would everyone think about them if it had came to light. I quizzed my daughter on what she was taught and while very basic and watered down they did instill in her the idea that it was wrong and she should speak up if it occurred. I expanded on it and showed her how these scumbags work. So much so she counseled her dormmates in college when she became a RA.
