The Seeker 3,048 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I can understand kids in care getting abuse, or abuse by family...because the kids are trapped and feel they can't asked for help. But 11-15 lads getting touched by a football coach....I don't get it....I'd of stuck a knife in him at that age. I'm not trying to belittle what they went through...I just can't get my head around it. And as been said...ashamed but then blubbing on national TV. It's like being embarrassed about your itchy cock then flopping it out on TV for embarrassing bodies. Again not taking piss, it's just strange As a kid you tend to believe what adults tell you. And if one tells you "if you say anything I will kill your family, because I know where you live" what are you going to do? The ones that did report it, as in all the abuse case from that era were classed as trouble makers and not believed or ignored. So they were dammed if they did and dammed if they did not. TC Yeah I get that. And I'm not belittling child abuse...but...11-15 years old! These weren't family, or kids in care...they weren't vulnerable. I just think at even 11 I wouldn't of let a coach touch my dick These men are proper predators ,they stay clear of the spirited kids ,the ones likely to kick up a fuss or defend themselves , they wait until they spot a vulnerable kid ,a lonely boy ,the quiet introvert ones ,the gullible ,the weak ,they have an instinct for this or they don't last long . Maybe it was the lure of becoming a professional footballer, the promise of a glorious career if they can do what their told and keep their mouth shut.... Some kids these days would shamefully sell their soul for a chance of fame, it's the culture we live in, roll forward 20 years and their packing boxes in a factory things don't seem the same Don't get me wrong bumming a young kid is f***ing disgraceful and the perpetrators will rot in hell, I just don't understand how the victims could let it go by all these years Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bell 3,606 Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 We are talking different times when this happened, things were different back then, there wasn't the social awareness there is now. There wasn't the education and 'abuse' wasn't a word banded about in those days..........it was easy pickings for predators back then.......me ? I believe it happened to 99% of those that have put their heads above the parapet........ 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rabbit Hunter 6,613 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) What I cant understand is why did so many grown men have an interest in young boys? I cant get my head around it. C*nts want hanging. Edited December 1, 2016 by Rabbit Hunter 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,690 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 Some people on here are complete dicks, failing to understand just because their a tough guy nutcase who don't take shit from anyone and would kill anyone who touched them . That some people are different , some are quiet and easyily manipulated and kept quiet. Most on here don't care about this happening and are more interested in making sure their point of being a tough nut even as a kid is put forward . 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waltjnr 6,926 Posted December 1, 2016 Report Share Posted December 1, 2016 let's say a spider scares you as a kid chances are even if you grow up to be a ard man you will still be scared of spiders ...all this about they should sort out these pedos themselves is nonsense it just don't work like that ...the body may be strong but the will always have weaknesses even more so when its experience the kind of trauma theses kids did.speaking from experience.?Nope thankfully I was one of the lucky few who survived the 70s without getting bummed. ...it's just common sense ain't it? A sad subject ,but Kanny's comment above ,did make me laugh ,like a News of the World headline ..."I survived the 70's without being bummed!" Read my heart breaking story in todays copy ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While i accept theres been some pretty daft comments on this theres a big difference between not understanding and not wanting to understand......i wouldnt book myself as any of the tough nut stuff you talk about but no i dont understand how competitive men can be got at like that.....but that doesnt mean i would take the piss out of them or demean them in any way it just means i dont understand it and would like to understand it i dont think theres anything wrong with saying " i dont get it " it doesnt mean you are belittling it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plenty of these tough guy nut case types got raped in jail off a certain notorious ex boxer,and he was a prolific rapist. Paedophiles pick on the weakest in society this man was attacking young men.Knew a couple of lads who he had unfortunately had a hold of and there lives were ruined after it,and these were young men being raped not kids. Truth is you would like to think you could fight them off but the reality is your more than likely going to end up a victim also.

As has been said, it's rarely the brash confident lads that are singled out in these cases....But I totally understand why victims bury it & how one person coming forward could give you the confidence you need to deal with it yourself. The worrying thing is that these things seem to be more common than we think or would like to believe..... Edited December 1, 2016 by Accip74 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
