I just looked up some of them. Absolutely horrifying. She heavily spanked a 2 year old for “trashing his room”. It sounds like she’s talking about a teen and not a toddler. What kind of ridiculous expectations did she have? That poor kid.

There were some excerpts of her journals from the time published and Kate was totally abusive towards Collin. 2 yr olds push boundaries and she went into violent rages in order to deal with them.

This. I think having 8 children by herself (and I think Jon wasn’t working initially when he moved out or tried to be a DJ or something) meant she had limited time and emotional resources to deal with a “problematic” child and immediately pawned him off on help. Which is why it’s generally not a great idea to have…

There’s a widely-held view that family size is absolutely off-limits for judgment, that there’s no limit to the number of kids a parent can love and care for, and that anyone who questions such choices is a monster.

I think what “ruined the family” was the insistence on using medical science to bring six more babies into the world when they already had two. THEN televising it. I don’t know if Kate was always a monster or the pressures of life in that family + fame did it, but institutionalizing a kid with ADHD for years (and then…

begged her to recant her claims, threatening to take his own life if she didn’t,

If you asked DALL-E to generate an “anti-abortion right-wing christian conservative politician who will later be found with a hard drive full of child porn”, 9 times out of 10, it would look exactly like this guy.

Honestly, I’m starting to think right-wingers believe defamation just means “you said something bad about me”, not “you said something false about me”. 

“How dumb can a motherfucker be?”

Earlier this year, he purchased a $1.7 million house.

sued a local newspaper in 2021 for defamation after the Scranton Times-Tribune mentioned a 2010 indictment against Godlewski for “corruption of a minor” in a profile about him. 

It’s always projection with these pieces of shit. Every fucking time. 

I would kill to live in a country run by women like these two, who are just like, “fuck your sexist bullshit, I’m here to get shit done.”

“18 years, 18 years, she got 4 of yo kids, she getting $200 G’s a month!”

Another source told the outlet: “He can’t even get a word with his former producers. Dr. Oz is a social creature who likes to hear himself talk, and it’s beginning to dawn on him that he’s just [not] wanted in Hollywood circles anymore.”

Cue Dr. Oz’s whining about being “cancelled” in 3...2...1...

Some people are born with gold teeth that are encrusted with diamonds.  It’s a real physical disability, gold teeth deform over time and this guy is going to end up with a mouth that looks like a bunch of recovered bullets from Scaramanga’s range trip if he eats too many hard candies.

The majority of underage workers don’t even have pimps. Or the “pimp” is just another kid in a similar shitty situation and they’re technically pimping each other. Still sucks, but still drastically better than living in a home where they are routinely subjected to all kinds of abuse.

I regret that I have but one star to give this. I used to work in this area, and these girls generally do not think of themselves as victims (though they absolutely are.) Some of us are very lucky to be unable to fathom a life that could make a violent pimp seem like the safest person. 

The best thing you can do to reduce the number of underage people selling sex is provide them with other options that don’t involve living in an abusive situation. Most underaged people who sell sex are not trafficked in the traditional way you would think of the term — there’s not necessarily any force, fraud, or…
