Thanks, cubby. This is, really, the main reason I don't think Tarah should be given a "pass" on not "understanding" that it wasn't ok to leave her daughter with MP. Now, I am not sure of what exactly happens when a report is made about sexual abuse, person arrested, convicted, etc. However, I would think, that there is some type of extensive victims services that would happen.
We already know that Aliahna was diagnosed with PTSD as a result of these two incidents of molestation. So at some point, she must have been taken in for some type of mental health services. I would think, that in addition to some type of evaluation which came up with the PTSD diagnosis, that other things would be provided. Counseling for Ali, or other recommendations, some type of counseling for TS, letting her know how to spot the signs of sexual abuse, how to keep her child safe in the future, etc.
So, no, this woman gets no pass from me. She either didn't bother taking advantage of things that would help her and her child (and other children), or she DID get educated about things and chose to disregard what she had learned. To me it's as simple as that. JMO
