The Adults Of Tomorrow

 

1. It isn’t just child sexual abuse Skipper. I was abused by my mom as a child and it wasn’t until I went to college that I discovered there were people around NOT raised as I was (my mom was a hit first never ask questions type of parent, but worse - she is wasted, she should be in Gitmo, we would get all info within hours from the terrorists, but they’d be wanting her to run al-Qaeda) and a couple years later when I read Mommie Dearest (if you want a clue how I was raised, it is my life). . .Then I married my mom in a man and started all over again.

   It is close to impossible when that is all you know, when you feel only your shame and there is NO ONE believing you when you do speak - through the years, my mom was ‘menopausal’ (for 48 years, yeah right), under ‘stress’ (ok, then explain why it was only 2 of her 5 kids she trashed daily?) and re the marriage I didn’t pray enough and I wasn’t a good enough wife. Excuse, excuse, excuse - the mantra of the left.

   Funny how I’ve managed to stay married for 22.5 years this time, with no hitting, no name calling and no violence at all.

   I would have no problem what-so-ever with the death penalty for child molestors - but alas, the lunatic left would only want it against the Catholic priests and the conservatives who molest as they are pedefiles while anyone else is simply practicing ‘consentual’ sex or under the consitution are expressing themselves or ‘sick’ and in need of treatment. What crap. . .

2. Wow. Just..... WOW!!  I have told everyone asking that stupid question they have no idea - but never even considered this.  Especially in this case where they have mentioned that the abdusctor probably used a gun - it is even more horrifying.  Thank you skipper and thank you Mr. Reagan.

3. Ask Pelosi how she can support nambla since she, herself, is both a mother and grandmother.

4. We also need to protect our young boys from “Hot” teachers.  Unfortunately, too many men, including judges, like to fantasize being with these “Hot” teachers through through these boys.

5. A scary observation:  Among the adults that I know, of those who I know definitely were or were not molested as children, the majority were sexually molested.  I’ll admit that the total number where I’m sure one way or another, isn’t large, but the percentage molested has been large enough to get my attention.  While we might like to think that such things don’t happen that often, I suspect that unwelcome sexual contact is a much more common childhood experience than we want to believe or than has been shown by studies of molestation.

   That said, my question would be how do we take the shame factor out of the child’s experience?  In the instances I know, secretiveness and shame seem to be the only consistent factors.  Sex of any sort, even today, is not always an easy topic of discussion, especially with children.  What we have with the molestation of a child is not only sexual, it is often deviant (much more so than just the age of the child) sex as well, an even bigger problem to discuss. If the shame of the experience can be removed or lessened, I believe that the child would have a much easier time adjusting life afterwards.  There might still be plenty of damage to undo, but at least it wouldn’t be shamefully buried inside, like a festering pressure cooker.

   In the mean time, enjoy the thought of Mr. Devlin in the general population of jail or a prison.  It is one of the few times that I think the punishment truly fits the crime.  Nothing against ropes and phone poles, but you’ve got to admit that it’s over pretty quick, compared to being the cell block’s sweet heart.
