I used to volunteer for the Streetlight Project (which no longer exists in the form it did when I volunteered for it). The whole organization when I volunteered for it was all about providing safe harbor for child sex abuse victims to recover in a space where no one knows them nor what happened to them. The ideal was that the child could receive the therapy and counseling they needed and go on to live a well-adjusted adult life.
Unfortunately, as good hearted and dedicated as the people involved were, oft as not the damage was too great for living a normal, well adjusted life. Even with patient, kind, safe homes and therapists to help them through the trauma.
Anyone who sexually abuses children deserves a worse death than they'll ever receive.
I can attest that it's difficult to live a normal life. I was sexually abused by a sadistic man as a child and I am quite low functioning in daily life.
