Who's to say it wasn't the family's ignorance that allowed it to occur in the first place? This story doesn't detail anything about that side of things, surely you can't believe that families aren't responsible to be aware of who's doing what around their kids.

If someone is paying attention, they would have caught this bastard in the act, sometime over 2 years, and been within their rights to use force, up to deadly force, to stop them here in Tx.

Too many times these stories come down to negligent parenting... It's not the "systems" fault these pervs exist and do what they do, if they weren't allowed access by the family to the kid, this wouldn't happen as easily.

That's why the law allows us to stop them, we have to have discernment about who we leave our kids around and be ready to catch the idiots that would try this stuff.

Sad because we can stop the abuse if we care enough before some crap happens. Usually it's too little too late.

Just like Covid, people all imagine this stuff happens to other people and never secure their family by imagining how it could happen.

I understand that many things may be misconstrued with these kinds of allegations, but ultimately there's no way of overlooking the part of the accused in this. Sometimes it's best to refuse a favor - like being asked to babysit.

Furthermore, Nate's argument almost leans towards defending predatory behavior that in less lawful societies would simply be "duked out" between the accused and the family members - possibly until someone was killed, the community at large being largely apathetic either way.

That being said, I also understand that "showing" a minor some videos could be as simple as the accused being careless about what he watched on his phone around a child essentially neglected by her family.

Yes, life is often harsh, and seemingly senseless, Lares. We know this. The arc of "cosmic justice" is long and ironically indifferent to the mores of a particular time or place.

I can speak from what my wife had to endure and I can tell you that her family allowed sexual abuse to go on for years unfettered because they didn't care enough to take it to the law. I just want to highlight some things in the hopes that people won't be afraid to take action where they spot this evil.

The whole story wasn't told, I wasn't defending predatory actions, if I see someone watching porn in the presence of a child, I'm calling the police...
I consider that past the point of "careless".

It's our parental responsibility to ensure the safety of our children, in our society, many are not responsible.

Why would you even hint that I would defend predatory behavior because I pointed out parental responsibility as a main factor... I hold myself personally accountable to my childrens wellbeing and I don't take the job lightly.

Don't know what was confusing about that to you but I'll never defend sexual predation.

Sarcasm isn't appropriate in every circumstance Rita, but like masks and parental responsibility the choice is ultimately yours.

The accused is responsible for their own actions. The perceived quality of care of the parents has no bearing on the choices of the accused in respects to adhering to the law. You've insinuated that the family is somehow culpable, through their own negligence, for the actions of an individual, who, by all appearances, may have violated their trust.

Furthermore, you say that "the whole story wasn't told," without specifying what, specifically, you suppose this story to be, and so as to allude that the family is culpable for the criminal actions of another. You also state that the story should highlight "that side of things," about how the family of the alleged victim must be negligent, somehow.

Either you know something the rest of us don't, which you are not free to divulge, or you're playing games, Nateraid. Or have I misunderstood so much?

Also, the masks ordinances are primarily geared towards forcing compliance from a, mostly, complacent population at large. This is politics influencing science. Just politics by another means.

People can read our dialogue and take it for what it is, if you insinuate again that I mean anything other than what I said already, who are they going to think is playing?

After reading the first comment on the story, I pointed out a truth about the contrasting possibility since neither one of us has the details on this story, thought I cleared that up and also included personal experience to add perspective.

I don't know what the first thing you think is when you hear a story about abuse that went on for a period of 2 years but I think of how it sure wasn't that girls fault. A legal gaurdian of some sort was responsible for her well being during that period whether trust was violated or not.

This kind of crap is so vile it should be prevented through pro activity on the guardians behalf. Unfortunately, we live in a broken world and while this case may not turn out to be that way, it is in too many other cases.

All these sex offenders should be held accountable no matter their method of operation and it looks like in this case that happened. Sorry if your idea of parenting and mine are different, I just know how I feel about my duty to my children and what the law says about a parents responsibility to provide adequate care for their children. Was pointing out a good question that we will probably find out soon through SAL, how did this happen?

When I think of a child being sexually abused over an extended period of time, I imagine a deceitful, calculating, predatory individual using intimidation tactics to gratify sexual urges centered on holding power over someone vulnerable. I don't normally imagine the parents to be blameworthy if they had no knowledge of what was taking place.

Casting suspicion and blame on the parent or guardian once such things are discovered puts them into a no-win, "catch-22" situation. Doing so means they might face punishment if the abuse is exposed, but not if it is concealed - thus incentivizing them to keep quiet and allowing the perpetrator greater latitude to essentially victimize the entire family using the law. Some pedophiles are, in fact, powerful people, who relish doing such things when they know no one is liable to take a firm and decisive stab at putting things to a stop.

Clearly we have misunderstood one another.

Never heard of a sex offender threatening the parents of a victim.

Are you citing a specific case or personal experience?

16, 18, and 21 can be difficult to distinguish in dim lighting and depending on the individual in question. But the more this conversation reveals, the more it starts looking like the "All Kids Lie" crowd is run by a Peter File.

https://youtu.be/fTaKDnSIb4c

Yea, like you said. Thou doth protest too much! My kids lie all the time. "It wasn't me! I didn't know I used the last of the milk! I brushed my teeth!" The minute they say something like, "Uncle Joe showed me his ding dong" zero questions asked uncle Joe getting his ass kicked. Id ask questions later and if uncle Joe is a good guy who ISNT a molester he'd probably take it in stride. Id hope there would be a level of understanding in it. The point being that kids aren't devious in this manner. They don't have the capacity to lie about sex because it isnt something of which they understand the ramifications. A teenager? Yea probably they could, and they do. A child? No. No way. I hope you're listening, nate. Just in case the situation calls for this piece of advice, I don't recommend using that defense in court.

I'm sorry for all the people who were victimized and never saw justice, too many families and gaurdians are wrong for turning a blind eye to the abuse in fear... If they aren't straight up participating in the abuse themselves.

On the flip side, there are cases where the parents were decieved, and that is hurtful to all parties involved, but that's not what I'm talking about and I think you know that.

At least our dialogue had some informative links posted, have a good night Ms. Repulsa.

Hey.. Judge Judy, Rita Repulsive, Scary Feces and Mesomedumb...with the amount of garbage that's posted I would assume that there really is nothing better to do than proudly boast about the good old days and witches, for the defense off sex offenders who like children because kids tells lies... ? Not sure if this dude is guilty... Just because the victim is a child does not mean they are necessarily lying but hey, you should know that if you have children like you said Judge Judy, then you would probably know that children do lie but wait for it ... hold on... yep, they also have the capacity to tell the truth, not just on things such as sexaul encounters !! Golly bet you didnt know that did ya?? It seems so crazy to me that their are so many negative people against Nate Dogg's arguement... Let's use some our common sense.
1. Nate Points out the law should handle this due to, um, hello, could be the parent who is guilty and if that were the case, yes, you guessed it, there would be no justice for the child if they stay in that environment.
2 . Nate Points out that not everything from a child is a lie... ok, at this point, that's pretty clear.
3.Judge Judy, has clearly confused Mesomedumb's response with Nate's and in fact she was the one in agreance with you about kids not having the capacity to tell the truth... They are all little liars...
4. I was a victim of Stockholm syndrome from being groomed and "loved" by my abuser and when I finally did say something at the ripe old age of 8, my mom must have misheard me because of the odd response she gave me " when I was in foster care, I was also abused" end quote.
The abuse continued for another 4 years but I thought telling an adult would work... They must've handled it in their own "family" way.

Seems simple right ? Adults should not participate in any sexual acts with a child regardless of the willingness of the child... Only seems to make sense to me but hey, you and your fellow weirdos are the experts on this grotesque issue , Scary Feces has the most experience if you read his take on it over the span of some years. I get it, there are tons of people who will defend and argue sick behavior, even go as far as justifying it, they think it should be legal, so maybe that would be a better place to jot down your opinion, pedo's are already signing petitions to diddle little kids legally as a part of LGBTQ and now P... Sorry people dont get that this is wrong and a real issue but I'm with you Nate, we are responsible for our children and who they are around. Thank you Nate for speaking out against pedophiles diddling kids. Not always are the parents guilty but hey, it happens... Not always is Uncle Joe is showing his junk to the kids but hey, it happens... so best be safe than sorry, let's be proactive against allowing the predatory behavior, not reactive.

The fact that you find any humor in any reference to disturbing details of sexaul abuse or whatever it is about that subject that's "hilarious"to you... forgive me for having a bit of distaste for someone sticking up for pedophilia, these are your words Sep. 19th, 2019 "This girl is no "victim", and 16 years old is hardly a "child". She willingly and knowingly posted a profile, despite the age restriction, she wasn't kidnapped or forced into sexual intercourse. If he can be implicated in any crime, she should definitively be implicated as a willing participant and accessory. It took two of them, after all, to commit this "crime". -Lares.

I find this very disturbing in fact on several occasions you have defended predatory behavior pushing the blame on the child if not in full at least in part. In Texas the age of consent with an adult is 17 thats the LAW. Your feelings along with several others on this platform on this subject matter reveals alot to me and the public who engages in reading these rants . You know honestly I kind of liked yall, in fact I invited your family to go to our church. Your wife was always nice and even though yall did not attend with us, I still felt like yall both were nice, you seemed like just a quiet chill dude but then "Lares" popped up in our life... I was a bit horrified to put the two together, after all I didnt know your internet ideologies at this point only the actual person. So surely you can understand why someone could be so "triggered" by such filth being spewed because it's really out there right here in our own community... being shared with victims of abuse who speak up or disagree. Rita, you ought to be shaming your boy Scary Feces, unless you're intent is to be viewed as a hypocrite. You try to discredit Nate as soon as he began to speak out, even after clarifying his generalized arguement against pedophiles, yet you don't harshly reprimand true predator commentary... just saying.

15 and 16 have widely, traditionally been held to be the age of consent, and of adulthood, throughout much of the world for much of history - and those ages still apply in some foreign countries and even in some US states. (The traditions of the "quinceñera" and "sweet 16" originate from this convention.)

This is the case because individuals of those ages have developed "adult urges" of their own that they are often wont to pursue. Considering this, Lares' arguments hold some merit.

On the other hand, I find "Nate Dawgg's" argument that discovering a prepubescent child has been abused by a predator means that the parents are responsible for the abuse, ipso facto, to be exceedingly odd.

I believe on this thread I posted a video of Poppy jumping up and down, and then a public access Christian children's show host sending out a prayer for young people.

I'm glad my take on this was understood.

I think people understand what I mean by pointing to a parent/gaurdians, responsibility rather than putting it off on the child.

I express a pretty clear idea most of the time.

Seems to me that it would be the first cry of a "diddler" to remove a young child from their home and have them placed with strangers even before any evidence of abuse by the parents has been discovered.

Not all "sheep" are what they appear to be.

I couldn't make sense of how a diddler could gain access to a child who has been removed by the system and placed away from suspected abuse.

Could you elaborate?

The wolf has to eat too, but if he makes it into the chicken coup and gets shot be the farmer, this is life, isn't it?

The growing movement to normalize pedophilia is abominable, and I oppose it, as I believe all healthy people should.

Hey Idk how you drudged from my comment that I wouldn't believe a child because all children lie. I said all children lie, yes, but they don't lie about sex abuse and i specifically stated what my reaction would be should my kids come forth with a claim of that magnitude, before the chance of finding out if it were the truth or not. I dont play around. Maybe you misread my comment, but I thought I'd set it straight anyway.

As for parents and their responsibilities, I agree with Nate to some extent, as I take the wellbeing of my boys extremely seriously and I fail to understand how a parent can be mislead by sexual deviants. Perhaps I've sheltered my children in the same manner that I was sheltered which in my own opinion was way too damn much. However, the saying, "You won't know if you over reacted until after the fact, but if you underreact you'll regret it," holds true. That being said, perhaps I should give some advice that I follow for any parent who is wondering whether or not they are over or under reacting. Perhaps it may help protect a kid.

1) if an adult who isn't a grandparent (even sometimes grandparents) seems overly willing to babysit your kids, overly accommodating, doesn't want to be paid, isnt upset by any aspect of the process etc be leery of this person. Ask yourself, if it were me watching someone's kids this often for this many hours would I be just ever so thrilled to do so?

2) does this person have children and if so are there children well adjusted happy and otherwise socially normal? If someone's kids starts acting out sexually, keep YOUR children away from any adults in the other child's life including your own family members

3) ladies this ones for us...are you morbidly obese? Are you what most would consider homely (ugly)? Thats okay! We're all different, no big deal. DO be leery of men whom are visually out of your league trying too hard to date you, being too nice to you, etc if they know you have children. DO NOT allow or encourage them to be alone with your kids, and DO NOT state in your profile that you have kids on any dating site. Child molesters use women's lack of self esteem to gain access to their children. Its the most common tactic they use. You have a great personality, im sure. Don't be stupid.

4) trust your instincts, if something seems off, whether they're a child molester or otherwise, something is likely off. Regardless of why you may get this feeling about a person you don't want your kids around them. Do not ignore this feeling

5) it could be your brother, your uncle, your female cousin, it could be anyone. It is NOT your responsibility to care what other people think of your parenting decisions and if someone is mad because you won't leave your kids with them they're a bad egg most of the time.

6) Child molesters are wolves in sheep's clothing in every single way. They may tell you of their own childhood abuse and cry about it, all while gaining pity. These things are often cyclic and one abuser creates another.

Personally, I don't like it when a guy pays my kids too much attention. Id prefer them be abivalent or even slightly annoyed. You can teach someone to love your kids and they can learn, you CAN NOT teach a child molester not to molest.
Again, maybe I'm far too protective. I'm sure there is a happy medium, but I'm not willing to play around with where it's at.
