If this info is true in any way, it shld. be addressed and reported. Remember Teri Hatcher’s abuse not being reported & that young girl/woman killed herself. So sad. I’m sure it must still bother Ms Hatcher. If this info. is NOT true, there are many other subjects they could create for their show for entertainment. This is not a fluff subject & shld. be addressed properly. Even a “Law & Order” show wld handle it responsibly in comparison. I have had quite a few friends over the years that this has happened to & it complicates/devastates everyone indefinitely.

Mairead, I believe both were very likely abused, particularly Feldman, but this scene was most definately one of their rehearsed ones. There are most likely some elements of truth, but I don’t believe all of what Haim was saying. I think details were stretched or changed for drama.

A&E’s website for this show calls it “cinema verite”. My major was television, but I took enough film classes to know that “cinema verite” is A&E’s way of saying “this show is fake as hell, but we’re going to admit it through a fancy term that most people don’t know the definition of so they may still think it’s real.”

Here’s the Two Corey’s A&E page:

I have a solution for court costs/jailing these vermin…public stonings! Who would not buy a rock or two? If you have been or know someone who has been raped, molested or subjected to God only knows what crimes against nature, you would be there to stone the person that did it.

It is sad that we live in a land that is so in to ledigation, but can’t seem to come up with an appropreate sentence for this crime.

A child does die in these cases. While they might stop emotionally growning, their innocence is taken. They didn’t offer it. They didn’t ask to grow up too quickly. They were murdered. Their spirit, their understanding of right and wrong and their hearts.

Megan’s law didn’t do nearly enough for victims. It tells you were someone lives IF they register. Those who register are the ones you more than likely don’t have to worry about, since they took the time to register.

If you touch a child in a sexual way, you deserve to die. You have murdered their chances of a normal life. It takes years, if not a life time, to recover. Not everyone is as lucky as some of the people on here. They don’t all have family that support them. More often than not, they are a victim again and again. Family turns on THEM.

Oh it breaks my heart. We need stricter punishments.

They ought to tie the offender to a chair, arm the parents with baseball bats and give all three some quality time together. As a parent, I can honestly say that beating the living shit out of the person who harmed my child so egregiously would be therapeutic. If that makes me a crazy bitch, so be it.

I just read that the Supreme Court has ruled against the death penalty for child rape. I also saw that over 3/4 of the populace disagrees with the ruling. Their reason was that this is cruel and unusual punishment. Because the kids are still alive.

This makes me angry. If any crime deserves capital punishment, it is sexual abuse of children. Right, the kids live through it, except for those year old baby girls raped by grown men, who are injured and die as a result. But their lives are never normal, never. In a way it’s worse than murder, because the innocent kids are punished for the rest of their lives by the actions of someone else. This is truly wrong.

Keith and Skyko: I admire you both for finding hope in such dire circumstances. Rather than curl up and check out you decided to fight for a better life. Cheers to you both.

Wow. Although I know how prevelant child sex abuse is, it still shocks me when I hear so many personal stories from so many different people from all over.

And ditto Geronimo. Thanks Keith & Syko for telling your stories. I hope everything continues to look up for you both

Keith & Syko - brilliant posts, both of you, and very movingly expressed. Sexual abuse is plainly a life sentence and congrats to both of you for expressing that so well and so eloquently.

Keith! Exactly! My son is still struggling. He finally has a decent job, other than the fact that his company was just bought out by a Chinese corporation and he’s been cut back to 3 day weeks, meanwhile paying $75 a week to drive to and from work. But recently his car went through a series of breakdowns, he had no money, I had to pay for his repairs, which were fairly extensive, nearly $3000. It’s supposedly a loan, but I know I’ll never get all of it back. And his roommate sold his house, so he is living with me again, and so on. People can not understand why I treat him like a young man just starting out in life, when he is 36. But emotionally he IS a young man just starting out in life. He spent 2 years having oral sex performed on him by a pervert, as well as being forced to watch the pervert engage in sexual acts alone and with others. The man who did it was his Big Brother, “screened and approved” by Big Brothers/Big Sisters. He was a drug addict by age 12. For years he smoked weed to wake up, skipped lunch so he’d have time to go get high, and spent his nights doing crack. He has fought that addiction all his life and is still fighting it, but has been clean since 4/8/07. So he really just came alive a little over a year ago, and for the first time is facing things without the comfort of drugs to dull the pain.

It’s tough for me too. At an age when I should be retiring, I’m still working full time so I can help him out. I’d love to move to an apartment in a senior community with my cat and spend the rest of my life playing with my computer, reading, listening to music, meeting friends for dinner…and I am spending 12 hour days (8 hours of work, lunch plus 3 hours commuting) away from home. But he’s good to me, he does all the housework and laundry and a lot of the cooking. He’s really a good person.

I’d just have loved for him to have a “normal” life. Married, children. His own home - he is so handy around the house, he’d make his home into a showplace, he’s tireless with his puttering. Instead, when most of the kids he went to school with have teenage children of their own, he’s still trying to get on his feet. He gets very depressed sometimes, and often I think my real function is to be his cheering squad (as well as his ATM). But I’m not giving up on him.

pinkpresent: there with you, can totally relate. Right down to uncle and family members who are totally out to lunch. I was *9* for eff’s sake. And it DOES stay with you the rest of your life; it is a scar that NEVER goes away. If I had my way, I’d rid the earth of pedophiles and molesters w/o a second thought. They’re like vermin who need to be exterminated.
