Sit down, pipe down, shut it down.

So today I witnessed someone totally belittle abuse so that they could prove their point and I am sooooooo angry. There are so many thing I am angry about in this situation but the one you should be concerned with is that someone took harming a child because they simply don't like someone else. This person took such a serious accusation/situation and threw it around like it didn't matter. Guess what, IT DOES MATTER. How dare anyone ever take such a serious subject and make that accusation because they just "Have a feeling." You know what, when you have proof and a witness and the child is afraid of the person you are speaking about THEN you can say something. When there is no proof, when the people around that child and person do not support it, when the child's behavior does not support it, and when you are saying it simply because you hate the person, you should shut it. But how dare anyone decide they want to take abuse or hurting a child and use it because they want to be right. You are not only making a serious accusation for your bullshit reason, you are taking something that has effected so many people's lives and belittling it. Who the hell thinks that's right?! When people do this it infuriates me! Not just with abuse either, people use things like "Oh she's anorexic" or "That person is bipolar" and don't realize THIS IS A SERIOUS THING. These are things that effect people on a daily bases and they are problems. Just because it doesn't effect you doesn't mean it isn't effecting someone else and you do not have any right to make any assumption that abuse or disease is happening, unless you have a certified, up to date, license. If you have a serious reason, okay fine (i.e. the child is afraid of person, the person is violent, others also have problems with this person, others believe abuse to be happening, the person has a history of violence), but if you are pulling it out of your ass then you need to shut the hell up. I cannot stand when people take these things lightly, they are not light, they are problems. They are diseases, they are issues, they effect people daily, so don't you dare belittle it. No one has any right to make these situations any less than they are because you are insulting those who go through said situations. Do not ever say someone hurt a child unless you have proof and do not EVER say it just because you don't like that person and want to smite them. Abuse is real, it should not be used for your advantage and petty purpose, and it should not be accused because you don't like someone.
Hope your day is going better than mine
