I can't agree or disagree. I don't know Sally's children or how the whole thing came up, what exactly was discussed, etc. I think a lot of things are inappropriate or wrong to discuss with children or that happen to them. But it does. I doubt the conversation Sally had with her children are going to affect their lives in the long run.>>   I doubt it will either, but why aren't you on Sally's...

I didn't see Sally tell Marla anything. She ASKED why she would shy away. Big difference in her TELLING Marla, than asking her about it. You people are TELLING Sally that what she did was wrong. All Sally was donig was wondering why she wouldn't talk about it. Marla answered, and that made sense. Sally asked, and now she's all of a sudden "telling" us what to do? LOL Seems like everyone is telling HER what was...

>> *Sally* is the one who mentioned the victim consenting to having sex with the adult, and I thought we were talking about something very different than plying a child with alcohol and raping him.>>  She said her kid ASKED if it would still be rape IF the 14 yo consented.  I don't think she meant to imply that was the case in this situation, but it did come across somewhat that way, Wolfsong...

I didn't see Sally tell Marla anything. She ASKED why she would shy away.>>   I think it was a stupid question, and snarky in a way.  Why wouldn't you avoid the "nasty stuff" with an 8 year old?    Big difference in her TELLING Marla, than asking her about it. You people are TELLING Sally that what she did was wrong.>>   Because she was,...

I took it kind of the same way Sally did. A rape of a 14 year old IS violent, is it not? Rape is pretty much violent. ~   Well, that depends on the scenario of course. A 14yo freshman having consensual sex with her 18yo boyfriend is a rape according to law. But that doesn't mean it's violent. MARLA

It is easy to put someone's posts on hide. I ask my kid's to put posts on hide when someone posts  F*** on their wall. You can do that with a poster so you don't  have to read their posts anymore. I have done it with two friends and there are a few more I would like to add.   With the changes last week, a lot of people's photos became public.  Most of...

Wolf, I am so sorry, I will pray for the family and for you.    Liz "Many people have eaten my cooking and gone on to lead normal lives. "

No, I wasn't suggesting that the bad choices...

<<< PrufrockJAlfred wrote:   Right. It's one thing if the kids are the ones asking questions. You shield them from what you can without ignoring their concerns about the matter. I just don't understand why it would be a good thing to talk about a grown man raping a young boy with one's 8 or 9 y.o. kids. If it's fine to bring up that subject with them, is there anything that's not off the...

>  Oh. I'm so sorry.  I hope things turn around for him. >> Unfortunately, any semblance of improvement has ceased.  Today he is moving into hospice.  It is heartbreaking, truly.    :( so sorry to read this, Wolf. Kaaren
