I Love Google!

Yeah it is great for posting non sequitors when your argument is wholly indefensible.

As long as you are posting Vatican material(out of context) I suppose you read the Vatican's recent edict on the child sex trade? If not you really ought to. It is posted here. I saw it a few weeks ago.

Your anger toward this girl really show a deep sickness. That is not an attack, that is truly how I feel. This girl had a convict for a father and God knows what for a mother. Whatever her mother was it was bad enough for 13 year old girl to go out, alone, on the street. People like those above saw a weak, defenseless, hungry creature and they preyed on it. She didn't do it for the "money" as you vapidly said. She had nowhere to go. Your knee jerk reaction is to BLAME THE 13 YEAR OLD VICTIM. The sickness in that is indescribable. It is people like you that make me cringe when I hear myself described as a religious Catholic conservative.

Go talk to your priest and ask him if this girl is a victim here. She has sinned and needs to confess but she was used by predators and what happened to her was horrible. Any of the children God gave you could have been born into her situation and you would have a spiteful attitude toward them. Know when you are Graced. It is spitting in God's face when you ignore it.

Get help, you both need it.

"Your anger toward this girl really show a deep sickness."

Kiss my "grits". I have no anger toward the young woman at all. If this had been my daughter, the perps would never had made it to court. The fact is she may have been cohered into this, but to say a 13 year old doesn't know right from wrong is stupid.

Yes, that would indicate that you, indeed, are stupid.

However it's not uncommon these days to try 13 year old's as adults in criminal cases. (if they don't know right from wrong)

You are assuming facts, not in evidence. And, what anger are you seeing?

Whatever her mother was it was bad enough for 13 year old girl to go out, alone, on the street.

Mom might have said "no"! Having "successfully raised" four children, and currently working toward properly preparing my now 15 yr old daughter, I know a little about girls, and children. I studied psychology and counseling in school. I saw my own children to maturity, and monitored those whom they spent time with. They went to church on sunday night, rather than spending time at the mall, or some roller rink. They still honor their father and mother, though we are separated and divorced.

Yet, I continue to see children getting into the adult world before they should be. I don't condone the behavior of the purveyors. I think they got off too lightly. But, to just assume that all little 13 yr olds are incapable of degradation, I only tell you to watch your MTV! They are teaching them well!
