One more thing...

Before I leave you all. I wanted to revisit the reason I first signed up here. To speak out about the abuse of children.

Some of you might remember that I exposed the institutional abuse at King's House School in Richmond, London. Despite the fact that the school kept editing their Wikipedia page to hide the truth of their collusion with paedophiles.

You might remember that I was sexually abused by several teachers at the school, and I previously posted this school report, by the headmaster of the school while I was there, Neville Chaplin:

It turns out that I was not the only child who was raped under the 'watch' of this man.

Now I want to be clear about something here. I was a child. This is me at the time when I was at King's House School:

And Neville Chaplin, the 'Headmaster' running the school I was abused at — the man in the news article above — asked in my school report if I needed "stricter discipline or specialist help".

This is what children are faced with every day in this world. Men in positions of authority who sexually abuse them and then blame those same children for their reaction to this abuse.

King's House School in Richmond should be turned into a memorial for the children it abuses.

It took immense courage for me and to speak out in the face of denials from everyone who participated in these crimes, but, I will not rest until the truth of what King's House School, and British Society, did is dragged out into the light.

I am not the only survivor.

I have carried a light for the child I once was and now that light is brighter than you can ever know. It will only get brighter.

@blazing.
I'm not leaving Steemit, but I will take a new form elsewhere on the site.
This incarnation has fulfilled its purpose.

Thank you for all your support :) See you in the future.

This is... wow, I mean, wow... I've seen it in news, I've heard about it, but to hear it from someone who actually has faced it and survived it... you must be very brave and strong.
I hope you find your way now that you've decided that you've fulfilled your purpose... I'm still shocked, I had traumas during my childhood (most people have them), but your case is just unfair, and I can't believe that it lasted for so many years... I know you endured it and survived it, I know you're strong so I don't grieve for you, I grieve for all those that came before you and after you and weren't capable of enduring it... may they rest in peace knowing you did your best to drag this undesirable element into light...

I've always admired your courage, openness, philosophy, insight and superb writing style! You will be missed and I hope I find you elsewhere on the platform.

Thank you for bringing your painful story and healing process to us. I think your contributions have the power to help and uplift so many others who have or are going through difficult times.

peace

Thank you and godspeed.

Thank you, @lenskonig.

...It will only get brighter.

excellent post ..loving to your blog.thanks for sharing.
nice photo,,,,,,,love to read it.......////////

Are you serious!?!?!?!?, did you even read the content?!?!?! How can you say nice photo and love to read it? You're not a bot, but this is one of the most soulless comments I've seen... I felt pretty bad reading this, knowing about the sad reality of some people out there and their impotence (and mine) to change it... how can you love it? I can only hope you reflect on your behavior for the next time you go hunting for the vote of a dolphin and think of the person behind the money...

what sadness this really generates, when it is assumed that in school a child must be safe and above all careful
