I think that a parent should always be held more accountable than a child, even with adult children. Parents are always in a position of authority, I think, and should be considered as such.

Yes. The Stanford Prison Experiment taught me all I need to know about power (whether real or perceived), and that it can apply to all situations. It will be abused, unless you keep yourself in check and consider consequences.

I think part of it is the women in the interview wasn't looking for support, or admitting she needed it. Her attitude was very defiant, which, considering she was, what 18 or 19 at the time of the interview and the relationship started when she was 17 was incredibly sad and clearly a product of her immaturity, lack of…

Wrong. Cuddling, hugging, closed mouth pecks on the mouth with no sexual insinuation is completely normal. Humans are physical beings. In fact, children that are denied loving (not sexual) physical affection develop attachment disorders - see maternal deprivation; it can be a form of neglect. You can also Google the…

That shouldn't creep you out, he probably also changed plenty of your diapers. A parent doing his job, nothing creepy about that unless he touched you inappropriately.

Thanks for the opinion, but a 19 year old who is meeting her father for the first time after having no proper father figure in her life is not a any kind of grown woman. The father is in the position of power in that relationship, he took advantage, he abused. They were not on an even playing field.

Nineteen year olds are still adolescents.

Agreed on all counts. I'm a middle-aged man that tends to attract younger ladies and although I would physically enjoy it (who doesn't like sex) I couldn't bring myself to 'just have some fun' and would be wracked with guilt immediately after. I'm not saying i never would, but the emotional maturity of a 19 year old…

The misogyny and harassing women bothers me. He's so casual about it. I don't know anyone that talks like that.

The attraction is normal. Acting on it isn't, and especially if you are in a parent/child relationship. It was his responsibility to protect her from it, and he failed her. Further I would argue that he groomed her and preyed upon her.

She was 19..I was very, very confused when I was 19. He however..

I think she is insanely brave but why is it every time I read one of these stories, she's 19 or whatever? Say what you want, you are not a grown-ass woman at 19 and that Dad knew it. If I could just read one of these stories where she was in her early thirties and Daddy-O was in his early 50's, I'd feel a little less…

Giving this guy a direct forum like this is a bad idea. He's getting more of what he always wanted; notoriety and attention. If the cost of interviewing hideous people is giving them a mouthpiece, then maybe explore an alternate method for getting a story out. This didn't tell me anything that I didn't already know…

But you have plenty of desire to comment about your lack of desire to sympathize or understand someone whose experiences were not yours. Got it. Thanks for stopping by.

These are the words of someone mentally unstable, not hormonal. They need to be put into an asylum and sorted out. Prison just means they'll be spat out 5-10 years earlier in their sentence, since they're not directly violent, and are already manipulative.

This is some brave shit.

They are becoming the face of the "gamer" though.

Swatters truly are the scum of the earth. Fuck them all.

Wow, so how about some law enforcement reform? Don't these people call from anonymous numbers? Like...why would law enforcement act on a tip from an anonymous number about a hostage situation? Like what sort of person would have a credible tip on a hostage situation, and call from an anonymous number? Is law…

Prosecute swatters as attempted murder.
