Topic : 04/25 Confronting Grandpa

I am still unclear as to why the boy was able to spend so much time with his grandfather. They had sleepovers in the living room? If a two week old little girl could suffer molestation IN FRONT OF HER OWN MOTHER, how is "camping out" in the living room with a pedophile going to protect this other child?

Also I find it very curious that the ONLY times this man admitted to molesting his daughter (inappropriate touching) was when someone caught him, the same with him beating his daughter with the extension cord. He ONLY got carried away with punishing her the one time he was caught. I thought statistically that criminals had committed MANY crimes by the time they had gotten caught.

After watching the first half of the show, I found myself soooooo angry! How can any Mother stay with a man that did such a thing to a baby or anyone for that matter, she should be found guilty just as much as him. That woman seemed so stupid and couldn't even give a reasonible explaintion as to why she stayed with him, she made excuses for him and his actions. And my god, why if your Father did thoses things would you put your son in the same home with that man? This whole family is mentally unstable and they all need HELP!!! This is why the world is so messed up, NO ONE THINKS! I got pregnant at 15 and had my baby when I was 16, and the father was abusive, I stayed for 1 year and finally woke up and packed my bags and took my child out of that, I new if I stayed my child would think that behavior would be ok for him as an adult. It was hard for me ,but I DID IT at 17 and no high school education. ANY MOTHER OR FATHER THAT STAYS IN THAT TYPE OF REALATIONSHIP NEEDS TO HAVE THE CHILDREN TAKING AWAY FOR GOOD!!!!!

A lot of very tragic stories have been posted on these message boards.  I'm concerned (and yes, concerned, not accusatory or trying to prove anyone wrong) by the number of adults molested as children, who vow that their children will never be left alone one minute with their former abusers.  I just don't think that anyone can be vigilant enough to prevent something like this from happening.  It can only take a second.  I know that these parents want to spare their children the pain they suffered, but this approach seems like playing with fire.  I don't have the answer, if indeed there is one to be had, but cutting ties might be the only way to ensure your children's safety.

I love how these people "all of the sudden" find God and try and hide behind him and religion after they commit some horrendous act! This Al guy is a nutbag! Somethings not right with him!

Just like this religious sect in Texas. This is exactly why I don't believe in God or a higher power anymore. Religion is a big sham. More people have been tortured, murdered, maimed, abused etc. in the name of God and religion then by anything else! I use to believe when I was younger, but as I've gotten older, I no longer believe. I would love to truly believe in some kind of higher power, but as time goes on and the more I see and hear, the more cemented my beliefs become in there being no God.

my heart goes out to that woman and that child!

put that man AWAY!
