I’m curious, why so against a baby girl?

Honestly, I want to see a movement whereby democrats vow to delete their Facebook accounts. If tens of millions of people start deleting their accounts; then Facebook will suddenly “care” about vetting political ads properly.

I think guys like this gradually realize how much they can get away with, until one day it’s their new normal. I have a friend who worked for NBC years ago and spent a fair bit of time with Lauer, and said he was just a nice, seemingly normal guy (and she was an attractive young woman at the time). Next thing you know…

The media needs to leave that poor woman alone. She is just as much a victim as the other lives Lauer ruined.

Pretty much...read between the lines and you get “Because we got kids I won’t be saying what I really want to way which is ‘Fucking fuck him and his bullshit excuses involving his family'

Her focus is on her kids - that they now have to be subjected to the humiliation of it out in the press and social media. He had a massive amount of entitlement that allowed him to abuse power and be downright disgusting. She didn’t think she married THAT man. He may not even have been like that in the beginning. He…

I’m glad you have never met a sociopath. They can be charming. If all monsters looked like monsters everyone would be safe.

“I’m always super surprised by people married to predators who don’t seem to realize it. How much interalized misogyny must someone have before they accept some behaviour is beyond the pale.”

She originally filed for divorce in 2006 and accused him of “cruel and inhumane” treatment in the divorce papers. She also said he exhibited “extreme anger and hostility” toward her.

My first question reading the title was “Why?” And then of course you find out because some fucking vultures are hounding her for a quote.  It is beyond a shame she even had to release a statement like this.

Well, looks like we found the radical leftist...

I got a real spicy take over here: I think the president tweets too much. 

If they have legitimately found this girl’s birth mother and have confirmed her real age, my next question is - what about the doctor who legally attested to the fact that she was a grown woman? I realize it’s not that hard to find shady MDs who will say what you want them to say, but shouldn’t he be looked into? If…

The story was full of holes to begin with and sounded like western parents doing a sketchy foreign adoption and deciding to abandon the child when she became inconvenient for them.

Yeah, that was shady af. BUT.. now the new information is also from the Daily Mail.

Doctors aren’t psychic. It’s pretty common for them to offer the worst-case scenario resulting from a given diagnosis as a way to make sure the family is prepared. Also, I’m going to guess that Ukraine in 2003 wasn’t exactly the most disability-positive place to be born.

The adoptive parents were told when they adopted her that she was unable to walk and likely would never be able to. Shortly after adoption, they took her to the beach and she ran into the water (according to them). She can walk it seems like it’s a limited mobility situation. She also has mental health issues, but…

also as a side note if you go on BETTER sites than Jezebel that don’t just puke up the mom’s version of everything, that was one of many red flags in the mom’s story - the girl is quite small and can barely walk by herself due to a documented medical condition, but supposedly dragged the full-grown, able-bodied mother…

You’re doing great giving people with disabilities a home with that image. Thanks for that!

Anyone who bought that Natalia was actually an adult with the full mental capabilities of an adult who was hurting this poor, loving, Christian family can see themselves out. The only source of the original DAILY MAIL article was the adopted mother who bought this child on the black market in the first place. It…
