little mute boy.

why did the manufacturers of kids toys make these ones without mouths. i looked them up before but i can't remember. were there originally mouths that were wiped off with handling? i think they were manufactured mute. i found this in a house sale and it was found in the basement left by the previous inmates. i've talked to mister for ten years and he's communicated his world to me but he never has said a word. so impressed. 
but i wanted to get to a passage in axiomatic in before i return the book:
'some call sexual abuse "soul murder", it's a real destruction of a person's value and dignity,' paul valent says to me. 'generationally too, it interferes with love.' maria tumarkin, axiomatic.
there's a whole book, but i'll leave it and maybe you'll look into it. she goes on to mention joanne faulkner on children no longer in possession of their innocence, she says adults give up on them, she says it stops children participating in an ethical and civic life.
i think children can't rely on adults, and we have to let them go their way while we go ours. maybe we will meet again.
