Comrades: how do you handle sexual predators in your community? When sexual predators target vulnerable populations, including but not limited to: lgbtq+, single moms, children and animals, what are the tactics used to keep our communities safe? I don't believe warning strangers is effective, bc covert, calculated, gradual, abuse isn't always obvious until the damage is calculable. Sometimes the victims are children, or sleeping, or animals without voice. Other than sharing victim statements and legal documents with as many people as possible, how do you handle this type of situation? How do you feel safe and help protect the vulnerable, when predators freely walk the streets? Asking for a #child #victim who doesn't want others to go through what they went through.

Let's talk about community accountability and transformative justice if what you want is safe communities and mutual aid support systems.

Many predators choose their victims based on the likelihood of them calling the cops (including abolitionists, poc, drug users, lgbtq+), on likelihood of being believed (sw'rs, kids, women) installing plausible deniability (often seems "nice" in public) and gradual acceptance of unusual behavior over time (grooming), isolation (no witnesses), or people that could be easily criminalized if they do seek assistance and safety.
Predators will definitely throw you under the bus, when the shit goes down. Beware your perceived allies. It doesn't matter who you are: friends, coworkers, family, children. Predators protect themselves above all else. They choose their victims very specifically so they have someone(s) to throw under the bus when the spotlight turns to them. #WeKeepUsSafe #ptsd #cptsd #abuse #accountability
NGL it's hard to walk away from someone being "nice" to you. It's even hard to walk away from someone with a documented, LONG LIST OF VICTIMS; many of them children, if they are being nice to YOU.
Read that again.
Find their past, not what they tell you of the now, or the future.
The hardest lesson I ever learned is that for a predator, no one is off limits. NO ONE.
*rolls up sleeves*
Now. Who wants to talk about predatory behavior as an addiction?
