EP 7. Credibility Issues

When I was a teenager, I reported child sexual abuse to a School Resource Officer. Years later, I obtained the police report and discovered something I never expected: before any real investigation could begin, concerns about my "credibility" had already been documented. In this episode of Real Funny Real Cute, I discuss what happened after I came forward, the lasting impact of being dismissed by trusted adults, and why the response to abuse disclosures can sometimes leave deeper scars than the abuse itself. We talk about: Reporting child sexual abuse as a teenager Being labeled as having "credibility issues" Institutional failures and accountability Why creating a paper trail matters The emotional cost of not being believed Spending years trying to tell your story This episode contains discussions of child sexual abuse and may be difficult for some listeners. Please listen with care. 🎙️ Real Funny Real Cute is a podcast about breaking down what is serious through humor, chisme, and personal storytelling.
