When I was about 30 I used to study hours and hours at a cafe. At some point it was discovered that there was a peek hole into the women's bathroom. I was traumatized then and decades later I still am mortified and feel violated when I think about it.
How would this be for a preteen? When the perpetrator is a family member? And when there is media!
I agree with the others. Your voice as mother is being diminished and silenced. The boundaries of your home and family are being transgressed. When you speak up your concerns are disregarded, minimized or dismissed. All of this is harmful and abusive on so many levels.
The end result: You have been rendered powerless to protect your children and ultimately yourself and your integrity. Nothing you say is being taken seriously. Anything more you say is pointless.
I do not see how things change in the status quo.
Every instinct, every intuition you have had seems to be on point. But nobody is respecting your authority, power or voice.
