[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of you blaming her parents need to stop. Once your kid hits 18 you have very little control over them and who has access to them.  It's as useless as blaming Evan herself for the abuse.[/quote]

18 is just a number. Nothing magical happens when you turn 18. Her parents failed her.[/quote]

You can have the best, most loving, responsible, and empowering parents in the world and still be the victim of assault and abuse. Ask me how I know. [/quote]

But what Wood went through wasn't random and it wasn't one-and-done.  That's the point.  There is a huge difference between random attacks and prolonged abuse.  Her parents were right there on the sidelines the whole time and did NOTHING.  That's despicable.[/quote]
Exactly.[/quote]

Actually, the prolonged abuse is the most insidious. It’s the most difficult to detect because the abused and abuser normalize it and conceal it at great lengths (though for different reasons). The prolonged abuse is often initiated with grooming or a honeymoon phase. It’s shrouded in secrecy, shame, and isolation.

The fact is, PPs above, you know nothing about which you speak. Literally nothing. You are attacking parents and undermining Woods’ experience because you think that abused people and their families fit some mold that thanks to your extraordinary parenting you’ll never fall into. And you’re just plain wrong - and ignorant and arrogant. If loving, engaged, responsible parenting was enough ... but it’s not. So please, shhhhhhhhhhhh.[/quote]
