You should shut up ... Right about now

Who are you to tell PP to shut up on an open anonymous forum.

TLC has pulled the show from the air.

^^ This type of thing happens in all sorts of environments. College dorm rooms and rapes? Not exactly repressed environments. Penn State? Not a repressed environment. All sorts of homes where men who are not a girl's father have access to a young girl? Not repressed environments. No one has a monopoly on this.

The pp did not say it did not happen elsewhere.

Exactly. I didn't say that. I said it seems to happen MORE than it does in the general population (where it happens a lot--someone I know was a counselor at a sexual assault center for several years--the person had patients of all ages (toddlers to in their 80s), all socio economic backgrounds, etc. it's terrible and it happens a lot. It just seems to me that you hear even more stories about Catholic priests, making a vow of celibacy, and then spending years abusing kids than you do about the seemingly happily married Dad down the street who was permitted to date when he was 15, had sex with his wife before he married her and otherwise lives in a more sexually permissive environment. But maybe the data on this doesn't back me up. I don't know and I'm not going to dig it out (if it even exists).

She did get her teeth fixed after they got married (and presumably were getting their own family TLC checks).

Old news that was debunked long ago.

Or confirmed

Did anyone else get this feeling or impression?

Anna's family was super poor and lived in a double wide trailer. I think she was happy just to get out of that life and have a nicer lifestyle (paid for by show profits and the Family Research Council gig).

Just insane what these people believe and do.

It's like having a problem with morbid obesity, and to deal with that, you're sent to a camp sponsored and catered by Coke and McDonald's reps
