[quote=Anonymous]This does remind me of the V.C. Andrews series of books, like [i]Flowers in the Attic[/i], set in Virginia. I was just watching the series and wondering how the subject of child abuse and incest was being portrayed. I watched the origin story, which was slightly political in it's portrayal of how the grandmother and the mother became abusers, having been abused themselves and having been the product of violence, rape, and incest.

I guess the point is that rich and powerful families have dark secrets and mental illness, too. They just have had the ability to cover those secrets up.

This also reminds me of the Laura Dern movie, "The Tale," which was set in horse country somewhere. The 13-year-old girl was groomed for sexual abuse by both a man and a woman, both trusted by her parents.

As a white, petite woman, I always tell children who approach me to pet my toy breed Havanese dog, that they must ask their parents first. Children will approach me and my dog, not the other way around. He's small and white. Once, a 3rd grade boy with autism, a neighbor's grandson, reached out and grabbed my dog's head. I wanted my dog to be trained as a therapy dog, but really, he's not sturdy enough to be around kids. I learned to protect my dog from children at times, but also, that parents need to watch their children around any stranger. [/quote]
