The Hershey's Trust - Charity, Corruption and Child Abuse

in corruption •  7 years ago 

It's not surprising really; sadly, this sort of thing is probably far more common than most people are aware of.

Yes, it's great that we can expose these horrors and all this corruption and let the world see the true nature of the puppet masters; however, I tend to end up back at the same root question (as I also shared on @geke's post earlier): whereas being addicted to power, influence, money, control and other "vices" are psychologically understandable on some level... what happened to these people? As in who dropped them on their heads as babies so their brains took this turn where preying on children becomes part of their "status quo?"

My point being, we can keep exposing one corrupt and vile group after another, but someone else will flow in to fill the void they leave behind. WHY? What can be done to redirect that aspect of someone's psyche, so fewer or nobody takes over the empty spot? Or are humans just inherently that twisted?

Thanks for doing what you do.

My sentiments exactly. Always shocking but no real surprise. How do people arrive at this point you ask? Checks and balances are pitiful at best. Our institutions continue to fail us. I watch with hope that organisations like The International Tribunal for Natural Justice can gain some traction.

Great comment and those are excellent questions.
As we know there' s most often a cycle of abuse in these people's lives, perhaps they were abused or torture in some manner? By no means should this be an excuse to continue abuse but we see this time and time again.
Power corrupts, and people who start off with good intentions may be lead astray as they are often surrounded by people who have been corrupted long before their arrival. But we're all trying to figure out why the abuse of children?
I don't have the answers but I'm very intrigued by the possibility of Brownstone Operations being implemented.

Operation Brownstone, also known as a "Brownstone operation," is a reference to a theory that intelligence agencies, such as the CIA and FBI, engage in utilizing underage individuals for prostitution purposes with high profile targets, for the purposes of being able to blackmail those high profile individuals later. Generally, the incidents are recorded via videotape and the underage victims are debriefed after the encounter.

This theory offers the most plausible reason for systemic child sexual abuse, imho.
