Topic : 06/04 In-Laws’ Dirty Secrets Exposed

Quote From: flthomcat

They are very reliable IF administered by a true professional. The CIA, FBI and other agencies have the top experts in the field. Sadly, there are many others licensed to perform the tests that aren't of top quality. I am confident Dr. Phil got someone tops in her/his field.

 

Remember the William Kennedy Smith rape case in south Florida over a decade ago? The test was administered by a top FBI analyst. Kennedy-Smith FLUNKED the test and the VICTIM passed the test. But do to the test not being allowed in court (and all his power and money from the Kennedy family), he got away with the crime and she got her name dragged thru the mud!

 

The prosecutors office in Tampa often won't take on a rape case unless the "victim" will sit down for a lie detector test. If she fails the test, they pass on issuing charges against the "rapist."

 

Lie dector tests are a NICE TOOL, but that's only one piece of good detective work!

I believe both are guilty of incest. That little girl did not feel comfortable around her so called "dad". I think they are both molesting the little child. She is doing it because she is sick. He is a full blown pedifile. I don't trust a lie detector test regardless. My male parent was one of the most gregarious men, an inventer, a real genious. But when he got me cornered a little five year old child when he first molested me, and when my grandfather molested me I couldn't of been more then three years old. He hurt me, but I forgot the next day, as I was a small little child. I do not like, nor exucse any child molester and he came far from making me believe he was ha, innocent. They both know they are doing it and will protect each other, but I know that little girl's witholding her little mind, and is very uncomfortable around him, and he needs to be shot. He's vile, arragant, and vicious as far as I'm concerned. I felt sorry for the grandmother. Just because she failed her daughter to protect her, at least she "tried" to protect her little grand child. I don't like having court on a tv show, with no trial.

I didn't see the show In-Laws Dirty Secrets.  Did the father molest his daughter.  What the the lie detector show?

Quote From: wendydarlingtx

 "Life will be very different when the Feminine comes back into power and when the masculine (intellect) learns to serve her rather than dominate her."

What??? Are you kidding me? Are you implying that the intellect is mainly prominent in males only, whereas women are mainly ruled by their intuition and "emotional wisdom?"

Give me a BREAK, lady! And I will bet all the tea in Sri Lanka that you're a lady, and maybe you just took a class in Women's Studies, and that while you think you're advocating feminism and the rights of women, you're simply REINFORCING STEREOTYPES with this nonsensical spiel.

Women and men are not inherenlty better than each other. Grief only comes when people like you think the two sexes should be pitted against each other. That is hugely absurd and destructive. Women and men are all human beings, and complement and need each other. Don't confuse the crappiness of individuals with the crappiness of an entire sex. There are bad men out there, AND there are also plenty of bad women, too.

Oh please. That grandmother twisted every single things she said. "Thump" is a pretty harsh word and it doesn't match the action she showed at all! You are hyper sensitive if you think that is abusive!

And no one used the word "vagina"...a vagina is an inner body part, so it seems you are creating some spin of your own Frankly.

And you think he handled his daughter roughly? Why? Because she's a girl? My husband plays that roughly with my daughter. It's good for her, it's exercise and that is often how men bond with their children.

And do you think people are ill equipped to handle their children if they themselves have been abused? Or just this woman?

This woman is a bitter liar who seems to want to stop at nothing to ruin her daughters marriage. She needs a hobby.

That truth serum thing though might bring the Doctor more gusests than he could handle.

So the Polygraph said he was innocent, and now MANY ( not all) of the gusests are ready to jump all over the grandmother, okay, what she did was WRONG, the information was given to her SECOND HAND, by a realitive who was abused herself and so may be hyper sensitive to EVERYTHING that she could construe as abusive.

I thought the father was smug, but that being said, I don't think he's an abuser, I think he's a man that is FED UP with his MIL, she obviouslty can't stand him, but what I wonder is why ? It could be as simple as he took her baby away, but I wonder, was her own husband abusive and controlling, and is she HERSELF hypersensitive to the things he says and does ?

Just playing armchair psychologist, but unlike what people get on the shows, I like the WHOLE story before I like to cast stones, after all like everyone else I too live in a glass house.

I can certainly see your points and do not disagree except for in saying that it WAS different back then.  I say this not to excuse her present or even past action (or lack thereof), but rather to remind people that until the mid 1960s you could not even use the word "pregnant" on television.  There was a "head in the sand" mentality about anything of a sexual nature.  I think this was before this mother became a mother though.  I am older and know my parents would not have (and did not) speak of such things.  A degree of this happened to one of my sisters and we heard nothing of it until this year.  People truly did not know how to handle these things.

 

This mother is younger than that and should have know better.  She may blame herself for that now without being able to say so.  Still, as you say, her words, actions, and lack of the same cannot be justified.

Going back to my own parents, I will argue that in spite of mistakes made based on how people were told to handle things, my parents were fantastic.  They just lived in a time of "Father Knows Best" and "Leave It To Beaver".  Sometimes people are a victim of their times.  Be careful.  When your own grandchildren are growing up, they will look back and wonder how we could have been so simple minded about things.  I will guarantee that you will say "We didn't know that back then".  Just points to ponder.  Good luck to you.

I don't know about the Duke rape scandal. I never heard of it.

I'm glad that things have swung about date rape and marital rape though. I get sick of men thinking that sex is something they are entitled to.

Quote From: conniebro

He is either lazy or afraid of his own inclinations.  A good, loving father cares for his children without fear of someone making a false accusation.
