After many, many years of hardship, Eleanor’s support group was limited in what they could do to stop her and incidents like the public sex affair proved that no one had the power to prohibit her actions. Unfortunately, I do not think anyone knew the extent of how far Eleanor gone or had any idea of CSA - thus the family was unable to garner additional support. Eleanor Hoppe is the epitome of how an adult with serious mental issues can inflict untold pain on our society and that her type of situation can only be properly dealt with after it is too late.

Nope. Not buying it.

Have you ever tried to commit an adult family member with mental health issues to a mental institution or psychiatric hospital longterm?

I'm sorry, are we to cue the world's smallest violin for the wealthy family with who knows what skeletons and a freak monstrous relative rather than, you know, CHILDREN SHE HAS HARMED?

Having a mentally ill adult relative is indeed a difficult position, esp if trying to shield children, but tweak your approach.

People have rights. They couldn't lock her in a tower. It sucks but these people have to attempt to commit a crime AND be caught before they can be put away.

+1 absolutely horrific

"People have rights" should not mean we allow mentally disturbed individuals to freely access innocent victims.

20 years? Should be for life.

It shouldn’t, but it currently does.

No one in Richmond has written about this which is a very Richmond thing to do. Coverups are big here. Richmond and C'ville's country clubs are chock full of felons of the worst kind.

I feel like it happens more than usual in the south.

You are truly incredibly naive or very prejudiced.

Is this speculation or do you know the family?

^ quote did not work right, question was re: the implication of csa/incest - is this speculation or do you know the family?

OP

I don’t know any of the actors or schools you mentioned (apart from UVA) but this story is horrifying. It is hard to believe that any mother could do these despicable things to children.

I hope her own children never suffered any of these abuses.

It is just difficult to comprehend this vile behavior.

The only good that could come out of it (apart from her being removed from society) woukd be that she helps police or federal agents to take down some child porn networks.

What a nightmare that people like this exist.

Then you need to change the law. You cannot commit someone based on suspicion. It would be great if we could lock everyone away who is mentallybill who we all suspect will take it too far, but we can’t do that. It’s also against the law.

Her children were removed a while ago from her care. I don’t think she will be much help since she’s basically insane. Her family is actually relieved she is now locked up. She had to do something and get caught for her to be put behind bars.

You people really don’t understand this case at all.

She did do something and got arrested for having sex in a park in 2019. And her father helped her get the charges dismissed, it's public record. Now they're changing their tune? Try a different spin, people in Richmond know.
