Ask Amy: Client’s crush on therapist creates dilemma
Dear Amy: You ran a letter written by “Conflicted,” who wondered how to respond to a family member who had been arrested for possessing child pornography. He said, “As far as I know, he has not physically abused any children.”
Every single time someone obtains or shares child pornography, the children are revictimized. This is child abuse, and I was extremely disappointed that you didn’t point that out.
– Upset
Dear Upset: Many readers responded, making the same cogent and correct point.
I wish I had chosen to challenge the writer’s assertion. Thank you for doing so.
