Justice system failed victims of pedophile

I’m writing to express my anger towards the pedophile who victimized my daughter.

I’m writing to express my frustration and obvious anger towards my daughter’s mother for continuing a common-law relationship with the pedophile – both of you make me sick.

I’m writing to express my anger and dismay with the justice system, which has allowed this pedophile to get away with an easy sentence, a slap in the face to the victim, a slap in the face to all victims of this sick criminal behaviour, a slap in the face to the victim’s father, a slap in the face to the victim’s siblings and everyone who loves her. This is a slap in the face to all victims of child sexual abuse.

My daughter suffered while the pedophile victimized her. My daughter suffered while the mother continued a relationship with the pedophile. My daughter suffered during the sentencing of the pedophile. My daughter has suffered mental and emotional trauma. My daughter will continue probably for the rest of her life to receive psychiatric care.

Where is the justice in all this? If not in this life, the pedophile will have to answer to his maker.

I ask the editor to withhold my name to protect the identity of my daughter and her siblings.
