Therapy. She's probably had years of it. She needs more.

Her dad also.

[basalt]

the female brain...just...i dunno.

[Maskot]

Much much more therapy. Or is she just “woke”? Sounds like a “woke” type of comment: “oh thank my lucky stars I’m a victim”.

I’m hoping the best for her but she needs help.

[1Old Pro]

The Poor child.

[Bayard]

So.... If its rape when she decides she doesn’t like it afterwords, is it then not rape when she decides she likes it after too?

Yes I know I went there.

[bigbob]

Something wrong with her brain to even utter such nonsense in public. Mormons...brainwashing...

[golux]

I choose to contribute to this thread because I understand her. People who have had bad things happen to them choose, by the grace of our LORD, to see the positive side of things. She isn’t just a Mormon, or a Christian, or a victim... She is an American, a fighter, and a survivor. She chooses to live, and be happy, and embrace her history. I congratulate and emulate her.

[Sacajaweau]

Forgive me...but I'm starting to wonder if she was really kidnapped at all.

Maybe she knew about daddy way back when.

[SauronOfMordor]

She’s not grateful for the kidnapping, she’s happy about all the attention after the kidnapping.

[Kommodor]

Coping with bad stuff like that is a very hard thing to do. Comments like this sound like denial to me.

At the same time, speaking as someone who hasn’t experienced kidnapping, etc., who am I to say what the right response is?

I would like to think something along the lines of “(unpleasant things) happened, but thanks to the grace of God, and the help of (nice people, you know, insert stuff here) I’ve been able to get on with it and live a happy, fulfilled life.”

But what do I know, I’m just a knuckle dragging deplorable.

[vpintheak]

All the comments thus far are ignorant. Most Christians (I know she is Mormon) would agree that through trials, their faith has been formed. For whatever reason, God has His plan. It’s not that a person is “thankful” for the trial, whatever it may be, but they have become a new better person because of it. In her case, she has said it, because this horrible crime was committed against her, she has used her faith and experience to help others deal with what has happened to them. And she is thankful that she is able to help others because of it.

[dforest]

Yeah, Daddy just came out as a big ole homo and is ridding himself of his wife.

[DesertRhino]

Her dad went homo, and she is grateful for a kidnapping and months like rape session.

Got it...

[KosmicKitty]

I think she means that the experience has led her to help others and for that she is grateful.

[trebb]

"I've had the opportunity to speak to and interact with the Georgia Sheriff's Association on the Sex Offender Registry and the Federal Probation and Pretrial Officer Association," Smart added. "I know there is no perfect piece of legislation or protocol that makes surviving rape and sexual violence easy on any level but I must say I am so grateful for people who keep coming back everyday doing their best to help protect and prevent future crimes from happening."

Sounds more like a rational, adult mind frame - God opens doors so some good can come from every bad...for those with the fortitude and faith to walk through those doors...

[riri]

I really despise a cucked mindset. Someone undoubtedly filled her head with this BS. Mormons are kings of this sort of thinking.
