“... in the end I think we’ll find she did know”.
I agree. People can sort of wrap their minds around the fact that a man could abuse a child and be some sort of sick predator .... but for a woman to ignore it? That is very difficult for most to understand. How could a woman... who is suppose to be loving, kind, and protective of children naturally.. ignore such horrendous abuse? For what gain or purpose? To save her marriage, to save face in the community or what? The reason that I can be so cold towards the wife in this case comes from knowledge of a family that lived in my neighborhood as a kid. When the teen daughter became pregnant with the baby of either her father or brother... Social Services got involved. The mother gladly surrendered her three girls into separate foster homes rather than have her husband leave the home. (it was given as an option by Social Services that the girls were removed or the husband left willingly). There was no way that she would be without a husband even temporarily. She knew about the abuse all along and hid it. There are some demented and evil people in this world and I think the most evil hide behind “picket fences” or “positions in the community”.
Yep...have seen similar in my hometown community. Denial is powerful but will hold only until the obvious can no longer be denied. I doubt very much she can deny these happenings now..but am pretty certain she new for sometime.
Quite amazing the many whose lives will be affected as this progresses.....all those at the college and the community itself as a whole...but none more than the children this beast raped.
This is not going to be over for a very long time....it will unfold as did the Catholic church and with as much aggrivation and anger that it went on for so long to protect adults who should have been charged and jailed.
The similarities between this and the Catholic Church are quite apparent....
