I would have been sexually assaulted less. I would have had less abuse. It wouldn't have been so bad for me if there had been an outside reporting mechanism.
It was also very bad because when I went to the police and asked them for help, they told me they couldn't help me. It put me back into the situation where I was dealing with my abusers. It went on for a year—the abusers pretending they were going to do an investigation into it and then just not doing it.
The system creates a lot of trauma and needs to be externalized. The way it's set up now gives them more opportunity to hurt their victims.
