The Decades Old Adverse Responses to Child Abuse -Examining the Lasting Health Effects of Childhood Abuse and Neglect
- Catherine Watters
I can’t help but feel it necessary, in light of what I’ve been hearing about covid/ jab injuries as of late, to write about the long term health effects of child abuse, the abusive/dysfunctional, enabling community that I experienced and have been censored for speaking about since 1970.
I cannot listen to or watch a video or interview with honest doctors or parents, people injured by the covid shot without hearing my words come out of someone else’s mouth. The exact points I’ve tried to make for close to 5 decades about child abuse and neglect IN and Outside the Home.
There is a lot of talk about protecting children, “They’re coming for your children”. The reality is, “they” came for the children decades ago and many people, including “parents” helped.
The Fact is, for MILLIONS of children in the US and around the world, the “home”, “family” is the most harmful, abusive place on earth and it needs to be included in the discussion.
Children of abuse and neglect Cannot speak out for themselves and they do not have anyone to speak out for them. If fact, they have the exact Opposite.
How can people in the U.S. expect to have “leaders” looking out for their best interests when, for decades, children haven’t had anyone looking out for theirs but, do the exact Opposite?
If the issue of child abuse In the “home” and the dark truth of child sex trafficking and worse are not included in the discussion this country will be a total failure.
THE BAR ON HEALTH NEEDED TO BE SET MUCH HIGHER
Health isn’t just physical. It’s emotional/psychological and spiritual. I knew as a child/teen in the 70‘s we’re here to reach our healthy potential and to be the authentic person we’re meant to be on this earth.
I KNEW 5 decades ago we were not not being raised to reach our healthy potential but, to be obedient order followers. To have our spirits broken so that we were easier to control. It was considered “normal parenting”.
“CHILDREN SHOULD BE SEEN AND NOT HEARD”.
“You have a roof over your head and clothes on your back”. We MUST speak about the very uncomfortable issue of the dysfunctional/abusive “family” AND enabling community if we are to truly take the country back and stop children from being forced lab experiments.
I was the one who was shamed and guilted for standing up for myself as a child and teen because theres wasn’t anyone else to do it. I spoke truth to my abuser as a teen and I was the one who was treated like I was “Wrong”. Those in “power” were “Right” no matter what.
This is the country people created by teaching children they had no rights and were here to serve those in “power” no matter how incompetent or abusive they were and to make a child’s healthy dissent at pathology.
This is how the psych health of millions of Americans has been dismantled over the decades and so many people giving their power away to fraudulent people in “Authority”.
What I and millions of others lived as children at “home” is now happening so blatantly to more and more older people.
The psych immune system of so many people was dismantled in the dysfunctional family and community. Spiritual and emotional health and fitness treated as if it were a cancer or pathology when it was Completely healthy is how this country arrived where it is.
The unfortunate reality is that the Family/Community have turned into scaled down versions of for “profit” Corporations at the expense of the most vulnerable by those who should be protecting them the most.
How can we be surprised that Big Pharma, the NIH, the FDA, the WHO, NAID are harming people when children haven’t even been safe in their own “homes?”
How can the Family system not be a symptom of the macro?
We must take a look at psychological health as much as physical. Because if we do not recognize WHO to let in as much as WHAT to let into our lives and bodies, that, too, can be a very painful lesson.

Here is the ACE Study; Adverse Childhood Experiences and it’s consequences
This is the CDC description of ACE’s, https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/aces/fastfact.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fviolenceprevention%2Facestudy%2Ffastfact.html
Adverse childhood experiences, or ACEs, are potentially traumatic events that occur in childhood (0-17 years). For example:
experiencing violence, abuse, or neglect
witnessing violence in the home or community
having a family member attempt or die by suicide
Also included are aspects of the child’s environment that can undermine their sense of safety, stability, and bonding, such as growing up in a household with:
substance use problems
mental health problems
instability due to parental separation or household members being in jail or prison
ACEs are linked to chronic health problems, mental illness, and substance use problems in adulthood. ACEs can also negatively impact education, job opportunities, and earning potential. However, ACEs can be prevented.
Please note the examples above are not meant to be a complete list of adverse experiences. There are many other traumatic experiences that could impact health and wellbeing.
The Origins of the ACE Study
https://acestoohigh.com/2012/10/03/the-adverse-childhood-experiences-study-the-largest-most-important-public-health-study-you-never-heard-of-began-in-an-obesity-clinic/
The point is, Just like Adverse responses to “vaccines”, a child’s body has had Adverse responses to abuse in a place they should be the most safe, supported and nurtured. If the family has long been a place where millions of children suffer long term adverse health issues physically and emotionally, leading to an increase for committing a crime, alcoholism, inability to sustain healthy relationships and suicide and the U.S. government has not remedied them in 5 decades than how can people expect Big Pharma, Banks, Pfizer, Astra Zenaca, DuPont, NIH, Health Care or the U.S. Government to be in their best interest?
Especially when the normal adverse response people have from abuse or trauma gets pathologized and criminalized instead of understood and treated, the cycle of abuse and destruction continues.
WHY AREN’T ADVERSE RESPONSES TO ABUSE SEEN AS ILLNESSES AND INJURIES NEEDING TREATMENT LIKE CANCER OR A BROKEN BONE INSTEAD OF MORE WAYS TO CRIMINALIZE PEOPLE?
What are the consequences?
ACEs can have lasting, negative effects on health, well-being, as well as life opportunities such as education and job potential. These experiences can increase the risks of injury, sexually transmitted infections, maternal and child health problems (including teen pregnancy, pregnancy complications, and fetal death), involvement in sex trafficking, and a wide range of chronic diseases and leading causes of death such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and suicide.
ACEs and associated social determinants of health, such as living in under-resourced or racially segregated neighborhoods, frequently moving, and experiencing food insecurity, can cause toxic stress (extended or prolonged stress). Toxic stress from ACEs can change brain development and affect such things as attention, decision-making, learning, and response to stress.
Children growing up with toxic stress may have difficulty forming healthy and stable relationships. They may also have unstable work histories as adults and struggle with finances, jobs, and depression throughout life. These effects can also be passed on to their own children. Some children may face further exposure to toxic stress from historical and ongoing traumas due to systemic racism or the impacts of poverty resulting from limited educational and economic opportunities.
To better protect our own physical health and that of our children we need to build our health up Beyond just the physical into emotional, Healthy Families, communities, healthy relationship skills, self worth, active listening, healthy boundaries, self empowerment, spiritual health. Then, our physical health would have more protection, more cushion. The REAL bank account. Without these levels of health and fitness physically, emotionally and Spiritually our physical health has No protection. We are in Debt which impairs our judgement. We are actually working against our own health and well being. We will trust and give our power away to the wrong people.
It isn’t just experiencing ACES as children that make our Psych Immune system weakened, it’s thinking we grew up well when we grew up Dysfunctional and not taught our rights to challenge “authority”. We will be working against our own best interest and funding our own enslavement, allowing in those we should be vetting.
Abused Children from adverse family/communities cannot fight back on their own. Their psych/physical health has been undermined instead of protected.
How can the quality of the “family” system not be an indication of the quality of our Government and country, a blood sample? Children should not learn early in life that adults in power will fail them and then acclimate to it and accept that they are here to inherit the Bill.
CHILDREN ARE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM OF SOCIETY
Since the 70s it wasn’t about if you were right or wrong it was about who had the Leverage, who was in charge.
Being healthy has been a literal Crime. It was clear health was being made over physically, emotionally and spiritually because the body gave people around me feedback they didn’t like. People would have had to rethink society and would have had to push the system back and hold their “leaders” accountable. But, that was to daunting a task. Standing up to the system was not something working class people felt they had a right to do. “Whoever said life was fair?” The Government was corrupt and “There’s nothing you can do about it”. So you just pass the bill down to the most innocent and make excuses for the “leaders” on the micro level who are acting on behalf of the Corp Gov training “future” generations to accept human rights violations like it’s normal.
What I lived was Torture. I was pinned between my body’s normal responses and those around me finding what I felt a major inconvenience. You’re forced to either suppress what you really feel or push back against those right around you. You’re in a mathematically impossible situation.
You just get chipped away at for decades instead of raised and protected. The health version of Climate change. If children are being undermined instead of Fully raised how can we Not have the health destruction we have today?
Anything less than raising children to their FULL, healthy potential, to Self Actualization is an illness. Nature goes in the direction of cultivating and lifting children up. If that isn’t the direction we’ve been going in something is Very wrong. What direction have we been going in? There’s NO skipping over nature’s process without consequences.
