Plot

Breach of Trust tells us the story of the lives of two families who try to live a normal life but unfortunately one of the family members in each household sexually abuses these young girls. These abusers and parents are in a position of trust but they choose to sexually abuse their young family members. It is an epic story that explores how we perceive incest as a taboo and instead of addressing it and dealing with it, standing up to the abusers, protecting the victims, supporting the victims to stand up to their abusers and put an end to the abuse or the cycle, it is instead concealed due to societal pressures, fear, guilt, not knowing whom to talk to, where to get support from, feeling threatened, wanting to protect the abuser's image, reputation, family name and even the fear of not being believed. The feelings are numerous and as a society, most people have chosen to keep this form of abuse a secret leaving the victims and others to suffer as well as letting the abusers carry out repeated acts of failing to get treatment.
