On December of 2012, my cousin Lily told me of what happened to her, and at the same time, I also told her of my own similar experience. She informed me of her molestation/rape by our uncle in the family. When she was 5 while visiting the family home in San Diego, she stayed overnight in one of our aunts' bedroom and in the morning she was attacked by ‘Him’; however, before he was able to fully penet

       Chong Ly is a Vietnamese-American female born and raised here in the US. She is currently twenty-two years old, and working as a senior caretaker in San Diego, California. Chong Ly is my paternal Cousin from my biological father’s side. I have known her, since I was a young child. She was my point of interest as a community profile subject, for she experienced the same or similar events as that of my baby sister Michelle by the same perpetrator. What Chong experienced as a child gives away towards a whole major issue at hand in today’s world. That is running rampant. Child rape and sexual abuse. Chong Ly my cousin suffered through a brain clot and almost died from it during the court proceedings. As of now her dream job is to get into social services for children, and help kids that need protection. The world is a dangerous place;however, it is far more dangerous for children then it is for adults. There has to be a way to change the current predicament in today’s society for th

A 22 years follow - up research study on  factors influencing  Child Sex Abuse  and  Solutions  to stop it" describes the  inci dence of child sex abuse having  become an unresolved issue and how it is increasing dramatically nowadays.  Author  Jobin  Ponnambily has   identified 6 phases of child sex abuse; observation  phase, introduction phase, Samaritan phase, isolation phase, execution phase and termination phase.  The author has conducted a 22 - years  prospective and inquisitive search to explore the factors influencing the sex abuse from offender’s and  victim/target’s poi nt of view and to find a solution to eradicate this crime towards children.   The existing  body of literature rega rding this issue is very limited. (reflection): Children are the treasure and the future of humanity, so why must they suffer from the disgusting filth that wants to destroy

      “I am very scared to get into the school bus. I hate him. If my parents came to pick me up on time from school after annual day function in the night, it wouldn’t happen to me”. This quote from the author's own experience said it all. There is no place safe enough for kids indoors nor outdoors. A solution for this unprecedented epidemic must be found for the safety of the future of mankind. If a child was raped they would be traumatized by this to the point they would commit suicide, or the possibility of becoming a rapist in the future is also possible. That is why there should be countermeasures to protect the future of mankind now, and not when it is too late. In the US we should clearly create a mandatory mental evaluation act, so that every citizen in the country Legal and illegal citizens can be evaluated. This would help in collecting the data/story of suffers of sexual abuse to rape and many more. This would instill that victims found from the mental evaluation have a
