These stories always leave me SMH. Which parent among you would leave unrelated adult men alone with your 13yo daughter behind closed doors for what must have been a significant period of time (an hour? more?) ? Show of hands? Anyone??

I understand her grandmother was an alcoholic. Was she stupid as well, or in an alcohol-induced stupor every time this happened?

You make a great point. I have no idea... and I’d only be speculating on how or why a parent would do it.

Someone told me a story last year (and I’ve forgotten who), of being touched by a priest in an inappropriate way as a kid. He went home and told his dad. The dad and one or two of his brothers when to visit the priest and apparently roughed him up pretty good and warned him.
