[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like an accounting of all the adult family members! [b]Why the F didn't her father and stepmother bring charges?[/b] Why was she ever allowed to go back? Every adult who should have protected her failed not only her but every other child that pedophile abused.

She should be stripped of all awards even though she's dead. [/quote]
Did they know? The daughter told the mother when she was an adult. And then pressed charges on her own.[/quote]
Yes, she told her father and stepmother.[/quote]
She told them as a child what was happening? Omg the whole family is sick.[/quote]
Yes. Read her account from the Toronto paper if you can find it. It gives all the details. [/quote]
I’m not a subscriber,[b] I’ve just been reading the synopsis posted in other papers like The Post.[/b] I realize that the draw is on Alice as the famous person, but they shouldn’t be leaving out that other adults were culpable in the abuse as well.

I just read a comment on The Post’s article that is truly horrifying. Essentially the person said that Andrea was failed by her mother and father because they simply didn’t view pedophilia/assaulting a child as a crime. Awful. [/quote]
Well I apparently can’t read. I just clicked on The Post article again and I saw that they did include that Andrea told her stepmother who told her father. So these 2 adults did not protect Andrea as a child and then Alice ignored the situation years later when she was told. Horrible.[/quote]
