Forgive me if this was posted already today. I thought that this was a good article, I am glad she finally came forward. http://www.comcast.net/entertainment/index.jsp?fn=2006/03/08/228955.html
I know its really sad. Too wait so long then come forward, its terrible.....concernedperson said:Folks, see how long it takes for a victim to come forward! Her parents were in the denial mode too. She didn't see an open door until she was an adult. Oh, the cycle and the hurt and pain. Devastating. Get child molesters off the streets......
Good for you, I also know what's it's like for the family not to believe you. I never let my uncle be alone with me ever again, and he never got near my daughter either... Too bad I didn't have the courage at 13 to have him prosecuted!OneLostGrl said:Good for Terri for finally speaking out about what this "trusted" adult did to her!
Bravo, Girl!
I have an uncle who touched me and I tried to come forward but no-one believed me... told me it must have been a bad dream. My sister then came forward with the same thing and again, she was told she was imagining things. My sister and I know otherwise and have kept my son and my neice away from that man!!
Glad you posted. It happened in my family and my mother never did a thing about it. Three daughters telling her and she only threatened divorce with the second. With me I told right away and she ignored it. Buty luckily I was old enough he knew I would report him. It was my own Dad.OneLostGrl said:Good for Terri for finally speaking out about what this "trusted" adult did to her!

That is so sad the child killed herself. I feel like he should have been charged with murder. Do you know what his sentence was?LinasK said:How sad that this happened to her, that it was her uncle, and that his 14-year-old victim commited suicide! Thank-you for the courage to out your molester Terri!:clap: :clap: :clap: Mine was my uncle too...:sick:
I think they said 14 years, but you are right he should be charged with that. His perverted act led to that poor child killing herself!Becba said:That is so sad the child killed herself. I feel like he should have been charged with murder. Do you know what his sentence was?
That's an idea, too. Maybe I'll do that. I might not even sign it..........BillyGoatGruff said:You could send her a note via the show. That's how they all get their fan mail.
