Aaaaaand he’s out on bail.

Roost, chickens. ROOST.

I’m sorry for what your cousin went through—and continues to go through—with him.

This is what I don’t get. After hearing testimony, facts, confirming GPS routing on the nights of the assaults, etc., HOW IN THE FUCK can this man’s family still stand behind him, profess his innocence, and set up a fucking donation account for him?? HOW IN THE FUCK??! Stop protecting abusers, goddammit. Stop.

. Methinks that “anonymous” was really Deen himself.

It’s not that I don’t want to hear it. It’s that there is seemingly NO acceptable proposal to modify regulations that gun advocates will entertain, which means that the only thing left to do is invest in body armor and wear it daily. Does anyone know if they offer baby sizes?

I tried positing this possibility on my Facebook page and a former boyfriend/now former Facebook friend countered by talking about how it’s cheaper to buy in bulk and better for target practice, blah blah blah. The gist of what I got from his response is that the vast majority of gun advocates will argue ANY proposed…

Period panties have me cowering in a corner.

I’ll bet the “tough career woman” was faking her flinch to make him feel better.

My period every month is an unflinchingly brutal, you-are-there, raw-element immersion like something you’ve never seen. The Revenant will be child’s play, sir.

Thank you. Thank you for saying that.

Thank you for sharing your story, but FUCK what an awful story. I’m so sorry for your experience. HOW can people do this to children? And how can people not listen to them when they get the courage to speak about it. My estranged husband’s family (as well as my estranged husband) claim that I am making this up for…

CPS’ ultimate goal in most situations is family reunification. He was court ordered to undergo a CHINS evaluation (not sure what the acronym stands for, but it’s a psychosexual eval) so that CPS could have recommendations based on the results but he has refused so far. That was ordered on January 23rd.

That is certainly reassuring, but I am so sorry for your friend’s experience.

Thank you. <3

I want to write our story one day. Once this appeal is over and the protective orders (hopefully) remain in place, I will write it. Our story is not uncommon. We were just very lucky that my daughter said something. We’re also very lucky that the county listened to us and did something. Trust me, I hear stories about…

It was the reason that was given to me by the detective. Also, because of my daughter’s age at the time (3.5), she couldn’t testify so it would become a he-said/she-said kind of a thing. In criminal law, the burden of proof has to be met and, unfortunately, it’s hard to meet that without some sort of hard evidence.…

Jesus, I am so sorry. My heart breaks for her. Just breaks.

I’m so sorry for your experience. So sorry. After seeing first-hand what kids who experience sexual abuse go through, it’s amazing give me the strength and resilience with those people have. The silence is the reason this keeps happening. Hugs to you.

Thank you. And sorry to bring focus to my situation but I need to bear witness for my daughter and anyone who has gone through this. Victims’ voices need to be heard in order for change to occur.
