Yeah, I know that your brain cant handle it, but victims do have a level of responsibility. Its called speaking up and presenting any evidence you have. Do you think evidence is going to exist in 5 years? 3 years? 1 year? 6 months? No. Thats why victims need to go and do what they have to do. They have a responsibility because the perp isnt going to do it for them.
All this waiting stuff and making excuses for it, is the problem. Yeah let these guys do even more of it to other people because you decided to wait 5 years. Thats 5 years of more victims because YOU decided not to do anything.
Even the DFEH, this organization that people are all clamoring for, says that the people that have a claim need to submit all evidence. Who did it, any paperwork that is relevant, and any other evidence that is also relevant. They know that victims have a responsibility. Saying people dont have any responsibility if they are a victim is stupid and detrimental to the victim.
