Excuse Me, I do not think you know wht ayou are talking about.  I have grown up in Baptist Children's Home of North Carolina having lived with abusive parents to the point where my own mother had a gun to my head, their was no electricity or water, then finally on the street.  It was Christians who gave my sisters money to hide from my parents so they could not buy drugs with it and I would have food.  No one is perfect, and neither side is perfect.  Having now graduated from college with a bachelor of arts in counseling and psychology, not all Christians Shake their Heads and move on.  I have worked as a camp counselor and tell you when I have seen something, I took action.  This is something everyone needs to address, but trying to play game alienating side does not help.

I would like to know when "Christianity" came into play with this type of abuse?  I'm confused - and upset with the claim that "Christians would shake their heads and move on" ... I believe that you have confused this abusive situation with something that may have happened to you and your partner with trying to either adopt or foster children.

My husband and I ARE CHRISTIANS - and have taken action against such abuse - we are now Foster Parents for children who have no where else to turn - I feel sorry for you and your partner if you have been turned down - but to turn this abuse issue into a "Christian thing" - that could be considered to be a form of abuse in itself.

It's sad that this happens to children - there's no answer to it - there are a lot of sick individuals out there - we're all not perfect - all we can do is help those in need and put the blame where it belongs - on the abuser, whether they're Christians or not.

Remember - God didn't create the abuser, only those who help those they abuse.

the last thing a child needs are same sex couples who would pollute their minds and probably raise them to be sexual objects of their counter parts

Why can't people just address the issue without playing the blame game.  I for one am a Christian and don't feel obligated to react and defend Christianity at every turn.  It takes a village to raise a child...and that village contains more than just Christians.  Take you beef with Christianity to GOD not Dr. Phil's message boards.

 Can someone please help.....

I was watching this extremely disturbing show last night.....Caged and at the end it said in loving memory of.....and I didn't see who it was in loving memory for.

 

I could not sleep after watching this show. I am hoping that it wasn't the little boy or his brother who was honest and helped us all to understand that something like this did and can happen to the innocent children in America. I hope this guy and his wife get life and prison. I hope that this little boy finds a wonderful family and will not be scared for life over this horrible so called parenting he had up until now.

I think that when a child is being abused in any way, shape, or form, it is the best thing for the child to be removed from the situation. There are many couples out there-both gay, and straight-that would love to have a child in their lives. There are couples that have tried to concieve on their own, and with medical intervention, that can't get pregnant. Adoption is their only option-they make better parents than some of the parents that are out there. Gay couples also want a child to love.

We had a case over here that wasn't  as severe, but it was still sick. A set of twin girls were adopted by a single mother, only they were being abused by their adoptive mother. The abuse was discovered by the girls' teachers at their school. What even made the case more sick was the fact that the adoptive mother's parents were actually denying their daughters allegations! Last I heard, the girls are now in protective custody, and they are in foster care. Hopefully, someone out there, black or white, gay or straight, will want to adopt those two beautiful little girls.
