A friend of mine just posted this on facebook.
The Junior’s section.
This shit is being advertised and romanticized to young, impressionable, girls.
I have had it with this book.

My mother-in-law found Mr. Grey. Mr. Grey is now in prison on, among other things, 20 counts of rape (some of which were against children), and my mother-in-law is slowly dying of abuse-related brain damage. My sister-in-law used to be woken up for school by her father, Mr. Grey, raping her. My husband was afraid of getting married and having children for fear of turning into his father, Mr. Grey.
Isn’t he all you ever wanted? Wouldn’t you love to find your Mr. Grey?
My cousin found Mr. Grey. My grandparents have been buried in the same cemetery as her (she died before they did. Mr Grey broke into her house and took two knives to her).
Sophie Elliott found Mr Grey. He broke into her parent’s home and locked himself in her room with her while she was packing to move out of town. Her mother had to listen to her screams as Mr Grey mutilated her and stabbed her to death. Mr Grey now has to spend his time in solitary for fear of what the other inmates will do to him.
A long-time family friend found Mr Grey. He cut her children’s throats in front of her before slashing hers and setting the house on fire.
A coworker of mine found Mr Grey. She was covered with bruises and too scared to go to women’s refuge for fear of what would happen to her if she did. I haven’t seen her in nearly 10 years.
There are many people out there, many young teens who will find Mr. Grey. It is our duty as a society to educate them on how to react. So far, we’re doing a shitty job of it.
