Lovefraud readers have forwarded a rash of sordid stories about adults in positions of trust over children who turned out to be molesters and child porn addicts. They should all be prosecuted, along with those who covered up their actions.

Katy,
for what it’s worth, you are now using the horrible experiences of your childhood to spread a message. Your voice counts now and it WILL make a difference.
KathD,
I am so glad I read what you wrote. i was moved by the feeling of happiness for you and i could sense the self respect you have. Which gave me a glimpse of my hope.
i thought i had lost it. it is good to hear you say, “others had it worse’ too. even though the movie mother dearest look like a comedy compared to what was going on in our home when i was a kid. there always was another family of kids that appeared to be worse off.
i had an O.k. today and if it is cause i am writing, then i will continue to do so.
i do have to tell you that my own brother is incapable of having a girlfriend. thank goodness he knows cause he beats them up. i am not sure if he is aware he is beating up his mother. i often wondered how he did not turn out to be a serial killer. perhaps because she did not do any sexual shit. man, i thought if i let a boy touch my boob she would find out, out of fear i stayed a virgin til i was going on eighteen. back then that was not the norm.
when i think back…….. sick very, very sick women that should not have had children.
Again, i am so happy for you Kathy, that you were able to have some reprieve. 🙂
Namaste’
Shalom,
I am so glad to read one of your GREAT life missions. You got “it”, that Life is NOT to be mean to others, we are to be loving towards ourselves. TOWANDA.

I try not to compare bad stuff, we ALL have bad stuff. Mine is no worse than anyone elses. It’s about standing up for what’s right, not submitting to abuse or standing by watching it happen to others. People don’t have to get involved. Just a call to police or child services can make all the dif to a child who thinks no one cares.
I DO like to compare GOOD stuff. I like to celebrate other people’s victories against abusers and oppressors. So I LOVE your posts b/c I either LEARN something so I can better take care of myself, or I get to live vicariously through YOUR victories and/or wickedly funny good humor. You’re my hero. 🙂
ps I agree he deserves the space in his barn. Arrange a time to pick it up. Ask him how he can sell something that doesn’t belong to him? That they used up parts and replaced them is the proper thing to do when you borrow someone’s property. I’d say, “Your welcome for all the money saved when they used it.” grumble grumble the audactity of some people. grumble.
Jr and I need to go down to the ‘city’ on Wed. I think i’ll just buzz by their house and get it!
I don’t think cousin is a spath…..at all. I think he’s selfish and a dupe……and it would be VERY uncomfortable for him to be confronted! That is what he was dancing around.
He KNEW it was wrong…..but he went along with being the messenger…..regardless.
So…..if he was gonna put himself into an uncomfortable postition to ‘protect’ his mother…..I don’t have to shut up either!
I’m REAL ANGRY right now!!!!
EB
I just read Skylar’s post. DITTO. Do dat. I support ya. What a loada… no notice. It’s yours. He complained. Job done. (even if you don’t want it, you kin donate it somewhere worthy.)
Katy;
Thank you for all that you share of yourself.
You are a ROCK!
Thank you-Thank you!
Ya know,
It just dawn on me to express that I was a good Mom, cause Marie (my mother) was such a resentful person.
I vowed I was not going to be her. Naturally, there undesirable traits I had as a parent. I was not perfect.
Marie had six children, she gave the forth one away. I say she sold him. There was four different fathers involved, that she had so much shame, the poor women for so many years kept all her secrets from her kids.
It really sucks that she just wasn’t able to be honest. Maybe, then my little fingers would not have been burned for touching my sisters Lp’s.
I can still see the gleam in her eyes , when it was time for a beating. I was certain that my kids were to be successful member of society.
Education was probably the first word my kids learned. Only, how was I going to make them do what I was not willing to do? I went to collage and got my B.A.
Marie did not/was not educated. Therefor it was not a priority, matter of fact the messege that was relaid while I was growing up. Never trust teachers, doctors or any type of authority. They did not deserve any respect.
Now if that isn’t a twisted mind.
I had to believe her because when I went to school with a raised hand prints on my face I was never questioned about it one time.
Bruises go away. When you are told as a child that you are no good, never was and Never will be over and over you begin to believe. The women relished her threats.
It wasn’t enough that she herself told you, you should have been aborted she would have all the siblings repeating her words of endearment.
When I was bringing up my children, I had rules that certain words were not allowed to be used in my home: stupid, hate all words that made a person feel small.
I am grateful that I had the gift to know what abuse was, so I would not abuse.
For the record, I have forgiven my mother a long time ago.
I will be for ever grateful, that I learned so much from her.
me!…………thank you lovefraud …..thankl you thank you
EB,
BAWLS!!!!!! BALLZ!!!! That is sooooooo LOOOOOOOOW!
Call him back and tell him that you want the WC BACK IN THE CONDITION HE BORROWED IT and that the battery and wheels that they put on it to REPLACE the good wheels and battery that they used up are just what is FAIR, since THEY are the ones that wore them out.
SELL IT???? NO!!! it is YOURS and if you need it again it will be there for you.
Then, have holiday meals with your kids and your friends and NEVER EVER CONTACT THEM OR EVEN ALLOW THE NEST OF VIPERS TO CONTACT YOU OR YOUR KIDS! UGH it isn’t even my wheel chair and I am RABID!!!!
I missed you Stargazer……….Signing off
Shalom!
To get back to the original thread of this article about children being abused by those that are supposed to protect them….parents, teachers, preachers, scout leaders, social workers, lawyers, judges, etc. what do you guys think about this “Dog” the Bounty Hunter deal?
I have NO doubt that from the tape and other reports that his SIL was beating the living carp out of this poor kid…but what the HECK WAS THE TEACHER DOING TELLING THE FATHER THAT the kid was Telling his friends that he was being beaten? In my state, and I am going to bet in all 50 states, that there is a MANDATED REPORTER status awarded to TEACHERS WHO EVEN SUSPECT or are told that a kid is being abused to report this to CPS….WTF???? This teacher should also be prosecuted.
Now, for “Dog” himself, the man is an ex-con and makes his living as a pretty violent skip tracer/bondsman/TV star so frankly I sincerely doubt that he is all that “ideal” as a parent himself…..as well as he made the comment that his SIL should “get help” so that he can have a “better relationship” with his son. WTF??? The SIL is very obviously (to me) very VIOLENT (beating the kid AND threatening the neighbors for reporting and recording it) and to me that is not someone who should EVER get their kid Back….. but of all the people in the world who should by experience know that not all “violent bad guys” are gonna “reform” I would think it would be someone like Dog who has been around a LOT of bad guys, in and out of prison.
