I had this show recorded, would go look at the info and couldnt dare to play it. I knew what it was about, but couldnt get myself to play it. One afternoon i thought i'll give it a shot. As i started to watch it, she said for this one hour keep your judgement and the repulsion aside, and watch it as a priceless information that you can use to protect your kids. I determined myslef to look at it that way, she said it, so i'll try it with all my will.
But as the four convicted child molesters started talking about why and how things rolled, my stomach churned, a man old enough to be a grand dad- 65 yr old man, a father, a friend, a stranger....all sat on plain looking folding chairs, with thier therapist present, oprah was asking them these questions that you'd want to ask. Why, how, have u thought of what damage the victims have been through. I was surprised of how this one guy acknowledged that thought, he said, i've killed her spirit, i've murdered her, i've killed what she could have been if i hadnt done horrible things to her.
When the father was talking, my stomach was churning, i felt like puking, but i kept reminding myself, leave judgement and repulsion for this one hour. So i did, i cant say i can understand them...
But what i have to admit is, to come out on national television and admit thier shame, what is so disgusting, all this so that parents out there can keep an eye out for their kids and look for any signs. So that they can protect thier kids and let them live in their innocence little longer.
Beleive your kid, if they say something, dont dismiss them.

WTF is happening to this world, these people are made to sit and talk and others are listening to their experiences instead of beating them to death and burning their bodies till there are no remains... and they have therapist ..isn't that great!! why don't we send all the murderers and rapists to therapy too. don't mind my ranting i jsut had to vent it out
while the same thought was going on in my mind, i guess we are different from them. we can control our emotions and let the justice take course. Doesnt mean we keep quite abt such stuff, being aware and being informed, and not shying away from doing the right thing when anyone we know is suffering is what we can do. Because we are normal people.
