I knew a family who’s “black sheep” situation happened because of unreported pedophilia. They should’ve reported it, sure, but the victim is an adult now and just wants to move on, and the sheep in question fled the state.
So no.
Being traumatized and ostracized exists but sometimes people get the black sheep treatment because that’s the least they deserve. I wouldn’t assume anything about a situation like that.
Yup. Had a great-uncle who was the ‘black sheep’ for this same reason.
Of course, back in those days you didn’t report it, you just made sure to not let the kids around them and ostracized them from most social events, because reporting it was ‘airing the dirty laundry in public’.
