I literally just woke up to the news that they won’t interview my “uncle” until New Years or after.
I shot the Detective the following email, which I’m sure will be replied to with a line of bullshit. That’s if he doesn’t ignore it like he did my fathers. He really thought I wouldn’t have a negative reaction to this? He hasn’t seen anything yet – my father will have a fucking hernia.
Right now, this is all I can write on the matter.
I’m shocked, I’m upset & I’m fucking angry.
I feel sick.
My mother has just told me you are “very sorry & will interview him at New Year or after”.
Tell me, why does it suddenly slip to New Year or after? What is the reason for this? Why are you gifting my abuser another Christmas with his wife & children?
It’s still only the 17th of December. 8 days till Christmas. Only another 15 till the 1st of January – what difference does it make? I don’t understand why you’re still waiting – we’ve already endured 5 months of waiting.
Why should any of us even believe this anyway? – I assume you did receive my fathers email? Thank Christ there are a few in this mess who are not afraid to say what everyone else is thinking.
Thank you so much for your obvious indifference – not to mention, I can really see how you are acting in the public interest & that of his children.
Closure indeed.
Merry Christmas, right?
Why? What is their reasoning? I would demand one, considering the interview does involve a crime! Helloooo?? For them to wait, is to only give your uncle a longer time to fabricate some lie. Why are they doing this? Who can be called?? What can the laywer do about this? Demand answers, girl, demand them!!

Their reasoning is… their reasoning is…
Sweet fuck all. They just don’t care.
Thing is, my “uncle” doesn’t know yet, & the only way to have anything done is to keep the element of surprise for his interview so he won’t have the time to fabricate any stories. That’s the only way they’ll be able to nail him & perhaps even get a confession. Otherwise it’s my word against his & there’s no point in any of it.
Which is why it’s that much harder to sit & do nothing, we can’t even threaten him or send round the big boys to fuck him up.
I refuse to make international calls again & again to try & find answers. We did that already & it cost us a small fortune. I’m only going to be fed a line a bullcrap anyway.
The only other person who can be called is his boss, who is also an arsehole but either my mother or father will have to do that.
Mind you, there’s always the press. But again, the element of surprise would be lost.
After all the pressure & trouble they gave me about making my statement (again) – it’s fine for them to take me in to do that for 5 hours but not to actually arrest a rapist & pedophile?!
It just goes to show that nobody really cares, nobody. Fuck them all.

I can’t really think of anything useful or helpful to say about this. It is truly awful and I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this intolerable dismissal and delay.

And what have I had back in reply from my email?
Fuck all.
The only acceptable reply would be for them to arrest him but you know, how about a little bit of respect? Y’all wouldn’t think I was a victim at all ahe.
Well, maybe next year, or the year after. Hell lets call it 2012.
Thank you HF.

I am SO sorry hon. I understand your frustration. It’s sad that most law enforcement, courts, etc., don’t give a flying fuck about the victim. It is very sad. I was pushed through the cracks as a child, well even as an adult. I don’t know WHY they want to protect the perpetrator. It will never make any sense to me.

I don’t understand either & I’m assuming I never will. I still have no answers as to why they are gifting him another Christmas with his wife & children.
When was the last time I had a proper Christmas? A happy Christmas where I felt safe? I dunno, it would have been before my father left so not since I was 3 years old.
This year is different because I’m with Bear & I know, I know, everyone keeps telling me to try & forget about it & just enjoy your holiday.. well, I’m sorry but it’s simply not that easy. I wish it were, but it isn’t, end of.
I really thought I’d be able to have this all behind me by now you know? Start 2009 afresh?

I understand, I really hope(d) that you could start fresh in ‘09 as well. *SIGH* Just keep your chin up and hope that someone finally comes through for you. I will keep wishing it for you too!
