"Not all SG were abused and I suspect that these (the not abused SGs) are no more than a handful".
Maybe the wrong choice of words and language but that is what I meant, that those who were not abused were no more than a handful. I wholeheartedly agree with Jules and Albatros.
For that same reason is that I cannot agree with the idea that TF was a sexualized environment where and that everything took place behind closed doors. I may agree that some of it was behing closed doors and in the dark but most of it was publicly acknowledged, promoted and accepted as the norm in a general way. You may be right as saying that no specific knowledge was public but even the sexualized atmosphere is already a form of sexual abuse because it's warping the young's person mental abilities by giving them unnatural definitions.
Also, sexual abuse is only one form of abuse. Children were not loved into good works they were spanked into fear to avoid unapproved behavior. Just like many adults but children suffered physical abuse while adults would suffer other types. That is why I don't think there were more than a handful of people, including SGAs who were spared. Abuse was warped and cloacked to appear as love and I suspect the Family is still doing it the very same way.
