I live kind of, across the way from a really nice neighborhood. Like, an NFL player lives nearby. My house is more in the "new owner" kind of size, but there are some fucking awesome houses. It's got the same kind of deal: every Halloween, buckets of kids come in from everywhere to go trick or treating. And you know…

But it just bugs me, because we already pay more than enough taxes toward actual social services.

Do you normally enjoy ruining jokes with information everyone knows?

Person A: "Knock knock"
Person B: "Who's there?"
Person A: "Banana."
Person B: "Banana wh-"
Ovdanyakad: "Bananas don't knock on doors."

Thanks folks, I've done really well, though; the point was more that Mama June needs to realize that she is going to surely tear her family apart, being that the victim was a family member. The bonds will be broken, and even with time, they will never be the same again, much like scar tissue. It permanently damages…

Did you ever wonder why the classic Nigerian Prince scam never really evolved, or why those scam emails invariably have awful grammar? It's intentional. Their con requires a mark that will overlook obvious red flags in favor of an easy buck. A god awful email is a high-efficiency way of choosing only the ripest…

Equally annoying!

Or, he's under the impression that the only women who don't find him irresistible are somehow mentally ill and badly need treatment, because he's so darned wonderful and they should all want him.

My own mother decided to keep dating a man (and still is!) who had been convicted of child molestation (me being that child) and let me tell you, it's just done *wonders* for the closeness and collective mental health of my family...NOT. WTF is wrong with people. I will never understand choosing a man over your own…

I know there's just so SO much garbage behavior in these messages to unpack, but it's a very specific peeve of mine when I see stuff like "take your meds, see your therapist" being hurled out as some kind of insult.

...I think that that is fairly well known :)

Yeah, no, she's not a "poor thing" in my eyes. My sympathy is reserved for her kids and the now-18 year old that her new boyfriend orally raped as an 8 year old.

I second your comment. I'm actually one of those victims and I come from a middle class family, not trashy, or whatever other terms people use to describe Mama June. My stepfather molested me when I was 13 and went to jail for 5 years. My mom stood by him through it all, even though he confessed his guilt. And after…

I can't believe TLC won't pull this show. Even if the terms of the boyfriend's parole don't stipulate that he can't be around children, other pageant moms are going to hit the roof. They're already helicopter moms; one of them will sue TLC in a heartbeat if she thinks her precious little snowflake was in the same…

She is endangering her children. That is what is making me call her scum, not the trashiness, not the mayonnaise baths or whatever other nonsense.

All I know is that if I was the father of her minor children, I would be doing what I can to get full custody, asap. No taking any chances, and this is a serious question of her judgement.

This kind of situation is more common than you'd think in every type of family, poor or not. Victims are expected to just get over it and are forced to see/interact with their molesters, especially if it was a family member or SO of a family member. You can be emotionally dense whether rich or poor.

So, can all the people who defend Mama June as being a "good mother" STFU now? She took back the molester of her own child family member. When she has a child around the same age.

...her former boyfriend Mark McDaniel, who just got out of prison after 10 years served for the aggravated sexual molestation of a then 8-year-old relative of Mama June's.

This is, unfortunately, a common thing. People don't want to believe that someone they like/love/care about would commit such an act. Come on, Mama June. Get it together.
