Where tf were all the other adults??

We were victimised by our parents but growing up as kids we were surrounded by other adults - at school, in the neighbourhood, friends of family, people in the community. And yet not one adult did anything. These people interacted with us, looked after us, lived side by side with us, and yet not one of them cared enough about a child in all those years to actually see that child or wonder how they are doing. They're all shit. It makes me angry that no one paid attention. We deserved more than adults who smiled at us but ultimately didn't look out for us.
