Molestation is illegal
I’m listening to your episode from 2/17/23 and hearing your recommendations to the (likely) young woman asking for support about her 1/2 brother who molested her whom her mother denies the seriousness. Your suggestions to seek support from friends, their parents, other family members and school counselor were great but you failed to state clearly to her that this behavior is illegal, immoral and evidently he has some some type of other horrible things. People do not sexually abuse once; making meaning by protecting others and finding validation regarding the seriousness of this situation could make the writer realize she should have been treated with compassion and respect. Police may not be your favorite people, nor my own based upon how they handled my assault, nonetheless the man now has a felony. This may have been mentioned previously but I’m too revved up read it.
