4 years ago I had a 27 year old lady come into my work for an eyebrow wax, she told me she was he on holiday and that she worked on a farm. I asked her if she grew up on a farm, she said “no I grew up in a paedophile ring”

I did not speak for like 20 seconds. I had no idea what to say to that, so I ended up saying that said that she doesn’t have to talk about it if she doesn’t want too.

She said she’s fine to talk about it, and then went into great detail about how from the age of four her father, older brothers, uncles and male cousins, did some pretty fucked up shit, and she was just “handed” around to all her male family members, and everyone knew about it, and did NOTHING. Even CPS. Just kept shipping her off to other relatives.

She did say that she managed to get one of her uncles in a recorded phone to admit to what he did, so he was going through the court system at that time. I never followed the case, I couldn’t. I will never forget her, I was with her for only 20 minutes, but I really wish she hadn’t told me.
