eta IN RESPONSE to nurse's comment: not sure why it didn't quote?
I do, NOT because I'm a nurse, because I have lived it I guess. The son seems to turn out like his biological father. Daughters not so much but only because women are "supposedly" involved in crime less often than men.
IMHO many women escape the radar....
Hence the born evil theory? It had to come from somewhere... if it's not from how the child was treated or raised then how else can it be explained?
genetics???
I'm not a nurse or even in the medical field at all, and honestly, in all my years of being an advocate for abused and neglected children -- this is what my street educated conclusion is:
Sexual abuse - the fault has ONE common denominator, the male sex organ - when you hear sexual abusers were abused, the statistics rarely include the fact that it is almost always the male victims that continue the cycle. Sometimes, it's a chemical imbalance and sometimes, it's just plain evil...but almost always, the sexual abuser is male. Oddly, sexual abuse is not even about sex - a dichotomy to be sure.
Neglect - learned behavior, usually women, from a neglected childhood
Neglect and physical/mental abuse - mixed bag of male and female but because of the sex organ of the male, and a lack of self esteem, the female enabler will allow the abuse
Before you start pounding me over the head, research it. Every day of every week I post stories, never less than three new stories a day, of neglect and abuse (both sexual, mental, and physical), and day after day these facts weighs out.
As elated I am that there is an arrest...just once I hope and pray for a different outcome...every time these things get more horrific. She was 7! Stabbed. Beaten. Raped. And crushed in a trash compactor. She is with the angels now...but...I will tell you this much, if they, the GBI, have his DNA on or (gag) in her...he will be found guilty. Children are not throw-aways...not trash. Please tell me...that she wasn't crushed to death in that dumpster.
