I heard he’s a shoe thief as well. Has he denied stealing shoes?

That’s depends: Have you stopped beating your children?

So you’re ok with kids consuming media that glorifies violence against women? Don’t you think that misogyny is regressive?

Ha - nope. Saw it. Pathetic.

You must have missed Miss Merlan’s fine “journalism” on the UVA rape story

“So many parents i worked with had hit their kid by throwing a sandal or hitting a kid with a belt. My parents did as well. Are they criminals, absolutely not.”

“Are they criminals?”

Hi, victim of pornography here. To all the young women who think porn is great and I’m just a prude, I offer a challenge. Stop watching porn for one month. When you masturbate, think about the kind of sex that you want. If you date men, ask that they refrain from watching porn too. If they refuse or say that it’s an…

Painful for whom? The woman had been a mother for 24 months and was already hitting him with a belt.

So...I was a Guardian ad Litem (volunteer advocate for the children in these cases) for years. Often, the parents would tell their friends and family members that the kids had been taken from them for just a “light” spanking, or that they had left their kids alone for “just a second” while they went next door.

This is such lazy BS. How about you do some actual research and find out yourself if there is any veracity to the rumors, and then report? You’re supposed to be a journalist, right? Or is this how it works now - just put out a casting call for rumormongers, collect some page views, then spread more rumors collected…

Really? You’re asking for inflammatory anonymous internet comments now?

People are saying things about Louis CK, so it’s true. Same people who told me about the 3 million illegal voters and Obama’s birth certificate. I’m not saying it. People are saying it, though.

“We don’t know whether these rumors are true.”.....remember the last time you went down this path?  

And she also attacked a toddler with a weapon. If someone attacked you with a weapon, you would expect that person to be arrested and jailed.

THANK YOU. Seriously. I was in foster care for three years and then put back in the home of my abusive mother. Those three years were far from perfect but, on some level, I still don’t think I’ve recovered from being put back in that household. I understand the experience may be traumatic for some parents that have…

“Hey, my boyfriend just hit me with a belt. But he was scared, and shocked, and he had a messed up childhood, so I probably shouldn’t get out of his house, right?”

“Hey, my boyfriend attacked the man whose house I am staying at, claiming that the man was abusing me. Should I go back to him?”

Think about the answers…

Sure, but for the majority of human history, the delivery system was equivalent to an eye dropper. In the last century it became a spigot. In the past 20 years, it’s become a water cannon. I can’t cite any science on this, but I have to believe this makes a difference, and not in a good way.

We don’t ask that men be given the opportunity to explain why they beat their wives with belts, we ask that these men be arrested for spousal battery.

“Sitting at the table with the CPS worker, her supervisor and a meeting facilitator, I felt very intimidated. I had no lawyer or advocate to explain what was going on.”

I was treated as a criminal. I wasn’t given a chance to explain myself. I wasn’t asked: What happened? I was just thrown behind bars. I felt like I was seen as a monster.
