I have been in such a horrible mood today. I just cant stop thinking about poor Rowan. We need to do more to protect our children, I know that there are people who could have stopped this. People dont turn into child molestors overnight.
Post times here at FR are Pacific time zone & register time/ date is based on GMT.
And, according to reports, after Colleen returned home from work, David told her that Rowan had said something about going to a friends’. That would imply that Rowan went either the evening before or that morning, before Colleen got home from work around 9:30 a.m. If Collen was thinking that Rowan had gone off that morning to play, she would probably have gone about her normal routine for a couple of hours.
I think there is more to this story myself...I also don't believe a molester can be rehabilitated. There is a difference between the 18 yr old who has sex with his 15 yr old girlfriend though IMO. I don't like lumping all sex offenders the same as there are different levels of offenses. I hate seeing those kind of things ruin a young man. However anyone rapes a child IMO needs a long, long time jail or death.
If I had my way sex offenders would be tossed to the general prison population. Inmates form their own justice for these sick monsters. Too bad we protect them in jail while their victims got none. Rowan looks like my oldest daughter when she was that age. What a beautiful little girl & to have lived with this SOB!
I still say the mother must have had some clues. If she was paying attention I really think she would have spotted something if he was molesting Rowan in the past. I don't like to judge but I find it strange her mother went for such a younger man & has a myspace. I wonder if the mother just didn't want to grow up.
Prayers for Rowan & all the other abused children. I often think of little Shasta Groene & all that poor child had to endure....~Pandora~
It seems more prelevant, doesn’t it?
I think a lot of it can be attributed to drug usage. But another reason is that it is so easy for somone to get anything on the internet, to feed and stimulate their perversions. None of our children or grandchildren are safe anymore.
Single mothers should always be home when their children are home. And they should stay single (and not even date) until their children are of age. Nothing in this world should be more important than one’s child.
My then youngest son was 13 yrs old when I met my husband . I waited until my children were old enough to have a say in who I married although people have told me I was crazy to let the children say a word. I needed them to approve in my choice. After all we were going to be a family. They are all adults now & love my husband nearly as much as their own father. Thankfully my ex husband & I have a great relationship. We all get along really well & he is even great to Sassy. The 2 boys I took in who were abused love both men. Once we had Sassy everyone just bonded into one big family. I have been truly blessed in my life. ~Pandora~
The mothers I was refering to are the ones that go out bar-hopping every night, looking for a man. They are so eager to find that male figure, that they take a serious chance of putting their children in harm's way. These are the mothers that don't feel whole as a woman, without a man, and become desperate to find any male - regardless of red lights popping off everywhere.
I certainly was not refering to women like you, with a head on their shoulders, and apologize that I did not make my statement more clear.
I am so happy that things worked out so well for you. It sounds like you made a perfect choice - not only for you, but for your children. Your family is blessed to have such a special mom and wife!
marked to catch up
I wonder how long they were married & if there is a biological father anywhere. I just feel so badly about Rowan. She surely didn't deserve this ......
I know one thing if a man , husband, step-dad etc raped & killed my baby I would find a way to make sure his life miserable. I would probably be in jail for attempting to murder him. ~P~
“I really don’t understand the older women who date men 20 yrs younger”
I gotta admit, while some of the young ladies are pretty to look at, beyond that, I wonder the same thing about men who date women 20 yrs younger than them. What ya gonna talk to them about? Boy bands? Hair styles?
For such people the prospect of this sort of activity is what it takes to arouse them.
My experience with liberls is they are adamant that “society”- meaning “we” made them that way therefore they should be rcounseled and released. After all, it isn’t their fault.
Too expensive. Use one bullet carefully placed.
For some of these weirdos getting caught is part of the high.They want everyone to know what they did.If it were practical they would prefer to perform their deeds on a stage in front of a large audience. They have no notion of future so paying for their crimes is simply not something that they can see or think about. They only worry about being able to get it done right now.
and NAMBLA is a respected civil rights organization.
These things are increasing in frequency because the traditional family is evanescing.A particularly dangerous and ever more common situation is the inforrmal step-father or the live-in boyfriend after the father has skipped or been pushed away. That is probably the most dangerous situation for children.These informal “daddies” often resent the woman’s children that they do not genetically share and these guys are jealous of the mothers’ attention to their children. We just had a situation here where live-in-daddy was left in care for the two year old boy. When the child fussed “daddy” slammed his head into the wall and killed him.
I know that it is happening in my town more than in the past and it is usually a live-in boyfriend.
I’ll be down in that area next week. I’m glad to volunteer my services. I’ll bring my own ammo...save the taxpayers a buck.
I totally agree with you, I dont think there is rehabilitation. Honestly, I dont understand it. What causes this? Not all of them were molested when they were young...I was watching the interview that they did of the “stepdad”, when Rowan was still missing, and he actually was crying and saying “She even called me Daddy”. Oh yeah, idiot, was she calling you Daddy while you were RAPING her? What a sick son of a *****. And the other one, Chris, with all those nasty and disgusting images on his page. What a sick sick sick bast**d. I cant even think of words strong enough to describe how sick they are.
