OTOH, in CA, the Dems keep trying to lower the agent of "consent".
And yours in re "child molestation" is bang on. I did field work with molested children, many years ago.
Bio (blood) molestation is far rarer than stepfather/mother, relative molestation in families. Knew a family. The bio dad had sexually molested the daughter beginning at her age 2. It was bad. But worse? The Mother and Grandmother felt so damned compelled to tell everyone about it. The girl was brought to me for some mentorship when she was about 11. The child kept acting out. Badly. And was violent. Sure, sure, she'd been through therapy -- ongoing since her molestations (which the father admitted to, especially after being caught doing it); but her family just wouldn't let her heal. They were more upset by it than she was.
The grandmother, in particular, made a point of "talking about the molestation" in order to EXCUSE the girl's bad, bad behavior. "Well, yes, you know she was sexually molested..." blah blah.
I had it out with the Grandmother. The girl and I yet remained in a mutually respectful friendship way. She knew she could come to me.
Her grandmother warned her off, said I was just a troublemaker. Long story short, the girl got herself pregnant; but after having to be committed to an institute for a time, for violent behaviors towards others.
Her family drove her crazy. I think their crime was worse than the molestation.
How insane. What is worse, dead silence(it never happened), or harping on the whole incident??? Interesting about blood vs step molestation. Your job must have added some gray hair on your head.
Violent behavior is as telling as early sexual activity. I hope the young woman in your story has gotten her life together. I left out many details in my story, because it will be appealed. I warn people on some threads not to take a photo on a Megan's Law website at face value.
