It’s a screwed up world. Horrible, disgusting things happen to the good and innocent among us every day. We’re all adults here, and we know that.

But what purpose does it serve for you to put these sorts of monstrous crimes in our faces every day?

I’ve asked you these questions before, and you’ve never answered. Care to finally give it whirl? Go on. Explain to me how these disturbing posts serve some noble purpose.

Why is it important? So that others may know they are not alone. So that perhaps another mother will not choose to handle the situation in an inappropriate manner. So maybe victims can find the strength to tell and hence become survivors. So that society will become more aware of how these cases are treated within the judicial system, and perhaps promote change to some of the laws to protect more children.

There are many numerous reasons in addition to those I have cited above for why we should speak about these horrific crimes, and not turn a blind eye...

I can’t speak for Morgana, but I can speak to why I read these articles and participate in these discussions. No-one is forcing you to read the thread itself. It’s not being forced in your face any more than any other article posted here at FR is it?

I find it rather ironic that you want people to turn a blind-eye to these things. Kind of like the little girls’ mother apparently did...

“Explain to me how these disturbing posts serve some noble purpose.”

Gives Texans material for more Okie stories?

Other than that, I agree - there is no reason to wallow in the behavior of those who dwell in the shallow end of the acculturation pool.

Prurient interests are noble...aren’t they?
