Another Parenting Tip
Dec 2nd
Having been a victim of child sexual abuse there’s something I taught my children:
YOU NEVER HAVE TO BE ALONE WITH ANY ADULT.
There is safety in numbers. There is safety in witnesses. If your teacher wants to talk to you alone, insist on someone else being in the room. If your principal calls you into his/her office alone, insist on the door being open or another staff member being present. If ANY person in authority wants to see you alone, you have my permission to politely request there be a witness or refuse to comply. If you’re uncomfortable with someone then tell me. If Mr. Whosywhatsis gives you the creeps then you have my permission to avoid him. This includes coaches, cops, church people (when they visited their friend’s churches) or anyone in authority.
There’s no reason to be rude about it unless and until it becomes confrontational. There are ways to protect yourself without being a smart-ass about it. Be calm but firm, and if you get any crap about it insist that I be called in.
Sorry sir, it’s a family rule. Period.
Because you never know. Women have been married to pedophiles and never knew, people have worked alongside these monsters and never had a clue. Children are the least capable of determining character and are easily convinced of a person’s charm until they are backed in the corner and it’s too late. Pedos are slick. They’re masters at being in the right place at the right time.
Those Catholic priests and the people who covered for them. That football coach and the people who covered for him. I just read another article where a manager of child actors has been accused. My uncle was a deacon in his church and has two adopted children – the adoption process scrutiny should have found something but it never did.
Never leave your child alone with anyone especially if they don’t want to be there. If they say they don’t like the babysitter, find another one. If their relationship with an adult suddenly changes, PAY ATTENTION to why. The child may be afraid or not have to words to explain, but figure it the hell out before you let it go.
Yeah maybe I’m a little paranoid. I have cause. All it takes is a few minutes alone to change your child’s life forever.
The Convenience of God
Aug 28th
First, you have the registered sex offender (and his WIFE) who built an elaborate hidden compound in his backyard to keep the girl he kidnapped 18 years ago. Kept her, raped her, got TWO children on her and kept THEM back there. She was 11 when taken and she now has two daughters 11 and 15. None of them have ever been to school or a doctor. Never been seen by ANYONE.
Then, then, then HE GETS RELIGION!
Mr. Garrido gave a telephone interview from jail to station KCRA in Sacramento, saying, “In the end, this is going to be a powerful, heartwarming story.”
“My life has been straightened out” in recent years, he said. “Wait till you hear the story of what took place at this house. You’re going to be absolutely impressed. It’s a disgusting thing that took place with me at the beginning, but I turned my life completely around.”
How many people are going to believe this shit? How many people are going to support this monster? I’m sure we’ll hear more of the story. After 18 years the original victim apparently sides with the abductor, how could you not after years and years of dependence and abuse? She was ELEVEN when taken!
What the FUCK!
I’m sick and tired of the I FOUND GOD excuse for previous behavior. How many times do people who have committed horrible crimes get out early or get better treatment because they suddenly give over (or fake giving over) responsibility to some mythical being?
I want firing squads back. I want death sentences. You might get one chance at acquittal, but after that… BAM you’re out of the food chain. Compassion my asshion. Somebody dies at your hand, you die. Somebody is abused at your hand, you’re given over as a playtoy to the general prison population. Let’s guesstimate how many times he raped this girl in 18 years and have the inmates take a number.
Do unto others then have it done unto you.
And if you suddenly proclaim a belief in God (or that he told you to do it in the first place) you get double. If all those believers want to say their way is THE way, then they have to start policing their own. Cuz isn’t that the absolutely worst way to take the Lord’s name in vain, to use it as an excuse to commit a crime or excuse you from the consequences of it?
