These stories are all basically the same. The media gets a few details and they make up the rest. Or is it the investigators get a few details and they make up the rest. Either way, please don’t think you EVER hear the whole story!!!

After my experience, I feel like my eyes have been opened. Maybe that has made me cynical.

Suggesting that the child is lying is the reason why most children remain quiet. It’s irresponsible to ignore a child when they say “mommy has been abusing me”. Children are loyal to their parents, even if they are evil pedos. They would not make up such a lie knowing full well it would mean loosing their parent. It’s a sick loyalty. I know this all too well.

This goes both ways. Children are not always loyal to their parents, and there should be scrutiny whenever an individual is “helped” into recinding previous statements to implicate an individual. That testimony should always be considered questionable, but rarely is, as it assists the prosecution’s case. I’m not saying that’s what happened, here – But to simply state that children should be taken at their word is rather naive, in my opinion.

That said, notfinright, how do you suppose we know when we have the whole story? As you said, sometimes innocent people even get convicted by a court of law. Are you suggesting we not report on ANY of these stories because a handful of these people may be innocent? That doesn’t strike me as particularly reasonable.

This story just hits close to home for me. Been there, didn’t do that. I don’t know alot about this case, just sounds like we don’t have the WHOLE story.

If a child tells me that he or she is being abused by who ever it may be, I take that seriously and rather be proven wrong, than to later find out that they were telling the truth.

I hope you never know how naive your statement sounds.

How is that naive? She just stated that she hoped you had a good lawyer due to the fact that you were in jail for something you did not do.

I may have come late to the party, but I have a comment to make. I can personally tell you that not everything you read in the papers is the truth. I was accused of a simular offense, but I was innocent. I knew the person, but NEVER hurt them. All I ask is that you don’t pass judgement on someone until you know all the facts. What you read in the papers and see on the news is from the detectives’ perpective and not always the actual truth.

The daughter admitted to the abuse. She finally said,”I was abused by my mommy and this other man. ” Stating the child herself is lying is absurd. Maybe, she didn’t think it was abuse because she did not know of any other way. There are many children out there who think being sexually assaulted everyday and beaten everyday happens to every other child which is why they don’t say anything. But when they realize, hey, this kid doesn’t get abused, neither does he, maybe my situation is not normal, is when something is said. One just never knows.

I don’t know the girl. I hope she gets help if she needs it. I’m just saying don’t condemn anyone until you’ve heard the whole story. I grew up thinking if you found yourself in jail then you broke a law. I did not break any laws and I still found myself there. Sometimes our law enforcement officers are just trying to close a case, not necessarily find the guilty party. It’s not as cut and dry as you may think.

Sounds to me like you need a good lawyer.

So you think the daughter was lying? And they removed her from the whore’s home before the truth came out – so she was far from a perfect mother.

Recently, the Etowah County Sheriff’s Office received a call from the Calhoun-Cleburne Children’s Center. Kendall’s daughter, who is now 17-years old, finally broke her silence with the protection of counselors at the Daybreak Crisis Recovery Center.

Thank GOD! She needs to tell it all and work on recovery…put it all out there and then move on w/ her life! Don’t know what’s up w/ her father or the rest of the family, but she’s better off w/out this whore mother and her quality of life will hopefully improve and heal.

I think I would rather eat your dogs vomit, than have to watch these 2 tards having sex.

I DITTO this…

I don’t think you’re a dork – but you can join me in the dork corner. At least I’ll have a buddy with me.

I am THERE!
