[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why a previous post of mine was deleted, but I'll repeat it here. The mother of two of the victims reported to the Post that she was warned by a neighbor that there had been a previous claim of sexual abuse against this man. And yet she chose to leave her daughter and son alone with him while she took a nap and her husband went shopping. Read: "The mother also told detectives that in June, a month before her children came forward, a neighbor had warned her that a girl around her daughter’s age had reported Mahony for sexual abuse in 2023. The mother said she discussed the allegations with her husband. Her husband told detectives that they had decided to give Mahony the “benefit of the doubt.” " This is not normal behavior. [/quote] I can't get past this. WTF??!![/quote] I wish I hadn’t read the WaPo article with the mother saying she walked in on her child with the man, and was so shocked she just shut the door and went back to the living room. holy $hit. She just left her kid in there. I’m speechless. [/quote] I'm not one of those "it could never happen to me" parents or someone who envisions going full mixed martial arts specialist on every mugger, but I truly cannot envision seeing my child being abused and not going totally feral. Calmly shutting the door and going back into the living room for a sip of my G+T would not be on the menu.[/quote] I thought something was happening to my DD when she was 3 with some older boys and I literally impulsively just went ballistic. It’s like a reflex, you just act. I have no regrets about making a scene, grabbing my DD and yelling like crazy. None. I cannot understand any parent that just walks away. WTAF[/quote] I can. Some people have the opposite reaction and get all paralyzed. I can see myself paralyzed for a minute, not believing my own eyes, and then robotically walking up to my child, taking her by the hand and walking out the door (and grabbing my other kid). I don't think I would have been able to speak at all. [/quote]
