04/09 The Dr. Phil House: Saving Grace
Quote From: yougtbkI also believe they should not be left alone. A lot of the letters seem to be against the grandmother and she wasn't the one doing it yet a lot of you seem to want to string her up and shoot her. The big thing people seem to be against is she didn't go running out the house telling people he did it. It looks like neither did the kid but because you didn't say something right away quick doesn't mean it didn't happen. The victumns in this isn't just the kids. Its there parents, and also the grandmother other grandchildren of the grandfather. He hurt the relationship between the grandmother and grandchildren and children. Hopefully after the granddaughter told her she never let her out of her site while she was there but as far as her beleving he was guilty all people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law and no wife is required to testify againt her husband. Why teach us that and then want to through people in jail for following the law.
I don't feel the child should be denied seeing her grandparents but just not leave her alone with her grandfather. "A lot of the letters seem to be against the grandmother and she wasn't

This woman should have immediately taken that little girl out of that home, taken her back to her parents, told them what happened and stayed there until the police showed up so she could give a statement. Anything less is an evil use of her power over that little girl. Those parents left Grace with her grandparent to be TAKEN CARE OF. Not to be molested, not to be molested and then put to bed like nothing happened.
"The victumns in this isn't just the kids. Its there parents, and also the grandmother other grandchildren of the grandfather."
That grandmother WAS a victim in a way too...UNTIL the moment she chose to cover up what happened. Then she became the second perpetrator.
" Hopefully after the granddaughter told her she never let her out of her site while she was there"
She did. She says herself that she put her to bed.
"but as far as her beleving he was guilty all people are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law"
SHE removed that little girls rights when she didn't tell anyone. There would have been no court of law if Grace didn't tell her parents. She should have asked him. Sent Grace home until she sorted it out.
"and no wife is required to testify againt her husband."
But a moral and ethical wife WOULD.
" Why teach us that and then want to through people in jail for following the law. "
You think she followed the law by not telling Graces parents? That's sick.
" I don't feel the child should be denied seeing her grandparents but just not leave her alone with her grandfather."
The ramification of sexual abuse are more than the abuse itself. How do you think Grace would feel as she got older and understood the implications of her parents letting her have a relationship with a man who had her masturbate him to orgasm when she was 6? That her abuse isn't THAT severe.
As a person who has been through it, trust me. The sexual abuse itself was devastating, but the horrible things that went through my child mind when being forced to hang around my molester were worse in many many many ways.
