    Default Oprah Show on Child Molesters?

    I saw part of this show (aired earlier this week) and one of the guests was a woman with long straight dark brown hair who cried through most of her interview- I missed this, but apparently she caught her boyfriend in the act of molesting her little daughter, and so she did something to him that put her on trial in court. If you saw this show, could you post what it was she did? I'm curious.
    Oprah criticized this woman for ignoring warning signs, but IMHO I have talked to enough social services people and foster kids & some molesters/ abusers are very good at hiding what they do. In some cases they sneak by most people.
    I recently found out a man I knew through friends was arrested for child porn. I was horrified- I hung around this guy and never noticed anything, but I was not close.
    I've talked to many people about pedophiles, and even the nicest people will say "they should die." I think they should be banished to an island and left to prey on eachother.

    Damn.. I missed it too. I don't watch Oprah regularly, but whenever she has a good upcoming show, I try to catch it.

    Child molesters are indeed very good at hiding their filthy little secrets. So in a lot of cases, there are absolutely no warning signs for anyone to pick up on. They eventually do slip-up.. But unfortunately, it's after they've taken several victims.

    I've got my own story, but I left it all behind when I left RI.

    I saw some of the show but dont really remember all the details,sorry.

    I was impressed with how Oprah pushed the fact that many of the females KNEW about the molesting and didnt take the kids and run but instead became inablers.

    The show was a tad upsetting so i didnt watch the whole thing.

    I saw most of the show. I believe she shot and (maybe) killed the guy. The show was very upsetting. Dr. Phil had a similar show on the same day....about child molestors.

    The kid told her mother a week before she caught him in the act that he was touching her and had described a sexual game that they played with her teddy bears. Instead of calling the police, she confronted him, he denied and she believed him instead of her 3 year old daughter.

    no that was the second segment.
    i too missed the first 10 mins of the show and wondered myself what she did. imagine my surprise when it did show the court tv part that this happened in my county. i just moved back there this past fall so i guess i wasnt there when this happened.

    OMG....i saw this episode yesterday! I couldn't imagine choosing a man over my child....maybe that was not the mom's intent but that is exactly what they did when they took the mans word over the childs!

    I only saw the one show the other day. The woman shot the man who was molesting her child. A lot nicer than I would have been...geezus.

    She's been having a TON of shows on child sex rings and pedophiles, and as much as I like to watch her shows...there is no way I can sit there and listen to it...especially whe Makayla is right there.

    What pisses me off more, though, is that the ACLU is getting involved in the picture when CONVICTED PEDOPHILES move into a neighborhood (or right across the street from a grade school) and the school notifies the parents on who/where the pedophiles are (this happened in NY). Something about rights being violated. Yeah...and then the school cannot say anything...and a bunch of kids get molested...but, that's ok, cuz they're just kids and the PEDOPHILES have rights, you know.

    Grrrrrrrr...

    That really pisses me off. Sorry, but again, I'd WANT and NEED to know if a pedophile was in my neighborhood, or near my children's school. Since when do pedos have more rights than victims or potential victims?

    The world's going in the pooper, and fast.

    The ACLU can kiss my blinding white ass if they're defending these monsters.

    OMG! On the same show what horrified me was Oprah sitting with the lady with the dark hair who had 2 sons from a previous relationship.

    After 6 months af marraige she found out he'd been molesting them and he admitted to it and apparently went and got help and she stayed with him a further 7 YEARS while he continued to molest and finally raped her 10 year old repeatedly. Oprah sat there holding this b**ches hand like she deserved confort and we were like, WTF!!

    This woman chose this perv over her kids knowing full well he'd already harmed them. The son was on the show too saying he couldnt understand why she didnt leave him either.
    Man I just wanted to mess this woman up!

    I think that if the parents/guardians knew of the abuse while it was happening, and still did nothing, they deserve to be prosecuted right along with the slimeballs. Enabling someone to do that to a child is just as bad as committing the crime themselves, considering they are the ones who are supposed to be protecting their children.

    I don't buy that whole "He said he'd kill me" or "He was beating me and I couldn't stop him from touching my kids."

    I would go down FIGHTING to protect them, and he'd better make damn sure I was DEAD before he went to touch my kids.

    Yes. I totally agree Rhi. Isn't that what the "Accessory to crime" is?

    It's sad that some women's self-esteem is so low that they'll do this stuff...doesn't mean that they do not know what they are doing is "wrong" or hurting their children.

    Sad, sad, sad. All I can say is thank GOD that I don't have those problems or issues.

    I don't think the idea is that they want to protect child molesters....I think they are more concerned about the slippery slope that comes from it. If people can use this as a precedent for other crimes, then it's like where does it stop?

    I saw some of the Oprah too. It was disturbing. I think her point of doing it wasn't to piss people off (but I'm sure that happened), but to reach out to any of the women out there who have children that are trying to tell them that they are being molested. Apparently a lot of parents are not believing them or think the guy can be "fixed", which I find most disturbing of all.

    Yeah, Emily...the biggest theme on the show was "Never ignore a mother's intution". 99.999999999999% of the time it's completely right on target.

    Besides...I don't know of many 3-4 year olds who would lie...but I know of plenty adults who easily lie to protect their ass...no matter what it involves.

    Hopefully, there will be women out there who realize that they've been had, their children have been harmed, and move out...get the guy/girl who's doing the harming to the pen.

    It's true about mother's intuition......

    In case a child is lying: if a child is making up lies about major events, there is something else going on....one of my friend's little brothers made up stories and crank called 911 a bunch of times, but this was because the family life at home was abusive and he wanted attention.
    I babysat a four year old boy who claimed I let him get in the shower with me, which horrified me when I heard him say it and I corrected him...his mom had some drug/ boyfriend problems and she left things lying around that he should not have seen (like porn, he found a bunch of videotape boxes and wouldn't let me put them up...kids, I swear..)
    Yeah, usually they're telling the truth, and by the time they say something, it's been going on for a while. Even though they're kids, they figure out something just ain't right....
