An experience of sexual assault can be difficult to put into words. It disassociates the bodies and minds of victims, as well as of perpetrators and their family. How should we go about treating, meeting, and supporting these teenagers and their families? Antoni was sexually abused as a child and wanted to find a way to understand it. When an experience cannot be put into words, bodily violence can sometimes take the place of speech. Antoni, like so many others, went from being aggressed to being the aggressor. When justice is functioning on two different levels, the consequences can be devastating and educational work has to constantly adapt itself to these changes.
