From the age of 2 to 9 I was sexually abused in nursery, Sunbeams, and primary.
Several teachers, both sisters and brothers.
During my Baptism interview, I admitted I was being sexual (I wasn’t taught it was sexual assault/ being abused because I wasn’t taught about it at all) and the bishop told me that “it’s a good thing you’re being baptized, maybe you can stop being used as a temptation towards those people.”
The abuse still happened and the one teacher became second counselor.
None of the abusers were disciplined as I was a “temptation.”
i was sexually abused when i was 14! It was on Easter sunday and i had finially recieved my Sacrement of Baptism during Easter mass along with other kids and teens.
All of us girls were dressed in the traditional,white,’babygirl’type outfits which consisted of a poofy,short sleeve,knee length baptism dress and bonnet with the lace anklets and white ‘maryjane’ shoes and under our dresses a white tee shirt with the traditional white cloth baptism diaper and plastic pants[aka-rubberpants]. I was feeling very pure and innocent like a ‘baby’ in the outfit!
During my party that easter afternoon, my friends and relatives all told me how cute and ‘babyish’ i looked in my outfit! I was feeling good that i finially had my baptism done and could move on to my First Holy Communion.
After my party was over my parents took my relatives to the airport,so i was home alone.
A few minutes later,a cousin,who was in his 30s,stopped by and gave me a card and told me how cute i looked,then he started kissing me on the lips and i responded!
After a few minutes,he put his hand up under the back of my baptism dress and felt my diaper and rubberpants and asked me why i was wearing them.I told him they are the traditional underwear worn under the baptism dresses by the girls and help make the girls feel pure like babies!
He was very aroused by then and to my surprise,he undid his pants […]. I was nervous and knew it was wrong, but i felt he would get angry if i refused! He then unzipped the back of my dress and [sexually assaulted me].
After that, he helped me back up and i put my dress back on and he left. I went to my room and laid on my bed and started to cry, feeling guilty that he did that to me!
to this day, my parents never found out about it and i have the guilt in the back of my mind!
