This show sounds about as interesting as listening to my co-workers endlessly discussing crossfit and marathons while eating tuna straight out of the can at lunch.

theres something inherently masturbatory about manipulating parts of your body with someone else in mind.

And that sort of weight loss has permanent side effects. Heart problems, stunted growth, kidney failure. He’s going to need so much medical care for the rest of his life. I hope she chokes for what she did.

I am beyond side eying. There is NO WAY the father is not complicit in this. No way he doesn’t know about the padlocked, feces filled bathroom where a kid is being tortured to death in his house.

It appears from other articles that the dad and other kids don’t live with her. I assume some sort of custody battle issue.

And this from the sheriff...

So, the father lived in the house and only now discovered that one of his children was locked in one of the bathrooms for two years? Did he think his son was on a really long field trip?

30 lbs? I think I’m going to be sick.

I can process a lot of human depravity, but that made me gasp out loud. 30 fucking pounds and 12 years old.

It probably should have occurred to you that if your son was “too young to discuss misbehavior and listen to no-no” that maybe he was a baby.

“open hand spanking” = hitting

As someone who was both beaten, kicked, punched to a pulp and “spanked”: it didn’t make ANY FUCKING difference. They were all damaging and assaults on my personhood and value and degrading as FUCK. FUCK YOU for insisting that this is okay with children. Would you non-sexually spank a grown woman?!

It’s difficult, but not impossible unless you’re an asshole. I personally know 5 men who have engaged in sexual abuse of minors, from children to teenagers and each man is from a completely different sphere of my life. It isn’t that hard to accept the truth if you have an ounce empathy in your body. You know someone…

Call it First Circle of Hell

How about a dark reboot where the shattered family comes to grips with their father’s incarceration for sexual abuse, and how it forces them all to question the Christian dogma they have heretofore blindly adhered to.

Never having seen an episode of 7th Heaven, I can still swear with certitude that Catherine Hicks’ quip about Collins’ coffin in still the best thing about that show ever.

Affluenza kid then. Happy?

I think we all know why.

Can someone please explain to me why many states are totally cool with Stand Your Ground laws/using deadly force to “prevent death or great bodily harm” but this little girl faces life in prison for shooting someone who repeatedly threatened to kill his entire family with that very gun?
