Topic : 03/10 Underage Marriage

After watching more of the show I think everyone is lieing.  wow.

 I AM SO TIRED OF HEREING PEOPLE SAY THAT THE STEP PARENT HAS NO RIGHT TO THAT CHILD. YOU ARE SO WRONG. IF A PARENT REMARRIES THEN THAT PERSON WILL RAISE THAT CHILD JUST AS SOMEONE WHO ADOPTS A CHILD AND THEY ALSO HAVE THAT SAME RESPONSIBILTY. THATS ALSO WHY I SAY THAT YOU DR PHIL SUPPORTS REBELLION IN CHILDREN. PARENTS STAY FIRM IN WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN RAISING YOUR CHILDREN . WE ARE NOT PERFECT AND EVERY FAMILY WILL NOT BE PERFECT, SO YOU TEENS RESPECT YOUR PARENTS . JUST BECAUSE I SAY THIS, DONT THINK I AM SAYING THAT CHILDREN SHOULD NOT TELL IF THEY WERE MOLESTED OR ABUSED. THEY SHOULD SO THAT THEY CAN BE IN A SAFE PLACE. IM SAYING THAT THESE DAYS THE CHILDREN HAVE MORE POWER OVER PARENTS THESE DAYS. THE SIGNS ARE THERE. OPEN YOUR EYES.

I also got married  young i was 17 and my husband was 18(i was not pregnant). I was out of high school I graduated #15 in a class of 350 students. My mom work hard i took care of my sisters and i had a part time job.  So when we decided to get married everyone was OK about it. We where young,but we new what we where doing. So for us to sit hear and judge them is wrong everyone is different. This poor girl had a hard childhood so maybe that made her mature faster. She is not to be blame, her mother on the other has not been a good mother. Even know she tried to make her daughter look like the bad person. This girl is dealing with the cards she was dealt. My husband and i have been together for 3 years i know its not a lot but we try everyday to make it work. He is in the Army i am in school and we have two sons. I would not change that for the world. I wish them the best and for them to do as they wish.

 I think the mother is spiteful and vengeful.  She seems petty and manipulative.  I don't think she cares about her daughter.  It seems like she wants revenge because her husband has convinced her the daughter lied about the molestation.  She is very angry and snapping at everyone.  I think there is something wrong with her.  Its strange that the step dad won't take a poligraph and yet they keep calling the daughter a liar.  How terrible.  Its a terrible word to call someone.

     You are completely wrong.  A step parent does not have rights to the child unless there is an adoption.  You probably think he had a right to molest this girl.

leslie, you suffer from tunnel vision. thank god not all parents raise their children and view their children the way you do. you are twisted. chris is a madman. look at his expressions, behaviors, body language, and hear his tone. he is a control freak. obviously you are an unhealthy woman. not your fault. you have no awareness. or perhaps you wear blinders when viewing the role you have played in your childrens lives and rose colored glasses when it comes to chris. there are many women like you. try some self-help books, therapy, and some self-help groups.

What part of "Mother" includes abandoning your child, calling your child names on public television and signing adoption papers????

 

You married a convict yet you believe him over your own flesh and blood? The apple never falls far from the tree. Whatever your children are putting you through, DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE YOU PLANTED THOSE SEEDS, SISTER.

 

 The smart thing to do would be to demand he take a polygraph test, demand he be nowhere near your child unless and until he is proven innocent. And I mean "innoncent", not just "not guilty". Your 'man' knows the difference.

 

Pull your head outta your behind, GROW UP, and BE A MOTHER.

 

Then and ONLY then can your children grow up.

 

 

What are these comments based on? This is just baseless rhetoric.

And NO, step parents shouldn't have just as much right to boss some kid around as their real parents. Maybe if the child is a baby or very very small, that might be one thing. But step-parent does not equal parent to an older child.

Open YOUR eyes.

 It is obvious to me that the daughter lies when the situation isn't to her liking.  My sister told some of the same lies, i.e....stepfather molesting her.  The daughter probably even believes her own lies.  I feel bad for the mother.  She does care about her daughter's future but the daughter is too ignorant to know it.

I don't know if Corina was molested.  I don't know if she's lying.   What I do know is that Leslie is a lazy, sad, pathetic, and weenie of a mother for letting her husband be in charge of discipline for her child.   
Leslie,
Just because you married some slob doesn't mean he's qualified to (or even should) be in charge of your children's discipline.   These are your children.  They are your responsbility.   You chose your husband.  Your children did not.  Grow up, be a real mom and get over yourself.
