Episode 2: Silenced Voices: Why Children Aren’t Believed and Abusers Escape Accountability

In this episode, Iris Libby and Christy Godwin tackle a profoundly important and often overlooked issue.

In this episode, Iris Libby and Christy tackle a profoundly important and often overlooked issue: why children’s voices are frequently dismissed when they speak out about abuse and how abusers can evade accountability for years, sometimes even decades.

We explore the societal and cultural dynamics that perpetuate disbelief, such as the idealization of authority figures, the stigmatization of survivors, and the discomfort many feel when confronting the reality of abuse. Through expert commentary and survivor testimonies, we examine how these factors create an environment where abusers are shielded, and victims are silenced.

We also delve into the psychological manipulation used by abusers to maintain control, not just over their victims but often over entire communities. Gaslighting, grooming, and the careful cultivation of a “respectable” public image are tactics that leave victims feeling isolated and discredited. The episode sheds light on the long-term emotional and societal impact of these dynamics, as well as the importance of cultivating a culture that prioritizes listening to and believing survivors.

By understanding the mechanisms that allow abuse to go unchecked, we can begin to dismantle the barriers to justice and create safer, more supportive environments for everyone, especially the most vulnerable.
