      A church is a system, like government, Country Clubs, the YMCA, etc. . Systems will always protect the system first, individuals second. It is sad, but not really surprising. In this case, if she reports this to police, I think the FBI handles it, she is making a report that she cannot prove, which is unfortunate. I should re-listen to the beginning, to understand the ages of both of them at the time. But back to churches, the one case with which I am familiar, they wanted to council the man who was 29 . The mother of the 11 year old just went straight to the police after that meeting.

    The night before I was testifying against the man who had sexually abused me in childhood for six years, I had a best friend call to confide in me that he BIL was watching porn with the young grandkids, was alcoholic and had threatened his own family with guns. I told her what she was legally expected to do and she wouldn't. I was asked to keep secret was she told me and I refused. I called Emergency Police Reporting and told them everything. They showed up at his house guns drawn. He was charged and jailed. I cancelled that friendship.

      Well, it's a church, where there is a FREQUENT failure to hold male predators accountable even *within* that church setting, let *alone* allowing "the world" to be involved, and it's in Tennessee, a state that has been going out of its way the past few months to prove that it doesn't, institutionally, believe in democracy, self-determination, individual rights, Black people having power, the right to assemble, freedom of speech, parental rights to make medical decisions for their children, doctor's expertise to make medically-informed decisions for patients (if they are people who can get pregnant)....
      So I've got to say that I'm not surprised that a church counselor (or "counselor"--no idea if they were legit) would have (IF they were told that information) kept that information quiet, NOR would I be surprised if TN had a short statute of limitations.
      I'm SUPER surprised that Texas would fire people for not reporting child pornography; standing up for women, women's rights, women's autonomy, women leaders...hasn't really been on brand for Texas either.

    • @BhappyD
      @BhappyD Před rokem +2

      It also helps when the child/teen knows that their parent(s) trust them completely to do the right thing. My mother had fairly strict rules for me growing up, but she was also very approachable, open and honest about every possible topic, honestly answered every question I had when I asked it no matter what, and was the person I trusted and respected most. A big part of that, was that I knew that she also trusted and respected me as a person.
      Because of that mutual respect and trust, I trusted MYSELF, because she taught me that I was trustworthy and demonstrated what trust looked like. That was HUGE. I never wanted to disappoint her or myself, or break her trust or disrespect her rules. She made sure I understood WHY she made certain rules, rather than just enforcing them “because I said so.”
      As a teen, I was very selective with who I chose to befriend and hand out with, and wanted people around me that had my same values. Because of that, there were only a few times where uncomfortable situations came up, where others wanted to do something I knew wasn’t right, and I removed myself from those situations and immediately contacted my mother, instead of just going along with it for the sake of rebelling. Not once did I ever rebel, out of respect for both my mother and myself. And she was always there, no matter the time, to pick me up from uncomfortable situations without judgement.
      I saw peers have a very different experience though. It was clear that their parents didn’t trust them, and those kids were well aware of that, and so they didn’t even bother trusting themselves. They felt they were doomed to make bad choices and be a disappointment, so that’s what they did, and their parents never truly trusted them to do differently.
      Kids pick up on that from a very young age. You can’t just set rules without taking the time to explain why they are important, you can’t demand respect without also demonstrating respect for your child as a human being (obviously within reason), and you can’t expect them to follow guidance and rules if they know you don’t trust them to make responsible choices and just expect that they will do the wrong thing behind your back regardless. All of that sends a very clear message to that child/teen, and it’s not a good one.
      Children and teens know and understand far more than most parents give them credit for. They are also capable of far more than parents realize. But they need to know they can be trusted, and they need to FULLY understand why rules exist. Not just “because I said so.” They need the full picture, and they need to know they can trust themselves to make responsible choices with or without a parent present. When you treat them like they are incapable of that (or make them feel that way even if it’s no explicitly said out loud), or that they will “just do it anyway,” it’s foolish to expect otherwise.

      She messed up, but a lot of people would in this situation. That’s why it’s so important to teach people how to handle this kind of situation so that they know how to act if they find themselves in it.

    Ugh this makes me so sick! And so relatable! This lady needs to be honest with her daughter. My ex, my 15 year old daughters bio dad, just got out of prison for child porn and is a registered sex offender- the second time caught. The first time, years and years ago when we were married, I found it on his computer and reported him to the military (he was active duty). He was counciled but I'm not sure if he was charged at the time. He told me I "helped him beat the issue" by reporting him. My daughter didn't grow up around him and knows he just got out of prison. She knows he is a threat to her and her siblings. Honesty has been the best policy!

    She knew to divorce a predator for the sake of her own child, but didn’t report him for the sake of other children. It’s unfortunate but a tinge bit happy this has been eating her up for 20 years because who knows how his addiction could’ve progressed in the past two decades.

    Yes this lady should have called the cops. BUT let me tell you secondary vicimization is a very real and brutal thing that society does to the families of sex offenders. Im speaking from experience as I reported my at the time spouse. As a result almost everyone who found out or finds out now turns away from me and my children. My children get isolated by teachers and daycare workers when they find out and the proceed to lie about them. Ive been let go from jobs and turned down for jobs because someone learned of his crime. People wisper all the time. Oh and Cps investigates you and constantly tries taking your children. Infact i was told by CPS, within 72 hours of turning him in, that if I cried or mourned the loss of my marriage, husband, the events that took place, ect that that is a sign of me showing empathy towards him and they would take my kids claiming i would go back to him. Periodically cps comes around knocking on my door as the case will never actually be closed despite what it says on paper. This is just the surface of what secondary victims and victims face for doing the right thing and turning sex offenders in when its their spouse.

  • @vaska1999

    I'm confused: her daughter is 15 but she discovered child pornography in her then husband's computer 20 years ago. If that chronology is even roughly correct, she went ahead and conceived a child with a man she knew was into child pornography. Whom she never reported. And today she's a licensed foster parent.
    Very disturbing.
