Outshined Posted January 26, 2006 Report Posted January 26, 2006 He took care of bidness; I just hope she's telling the truth, since dad's facing a felony charge.We had a similar situation locally last year and the student turned out to be making it up. EDIT: I notice on that site that the Vermont judge changed his sentence for the child rapist. Quote

prisonchaplain Posted January 27, 2006 Report Posted January 27, 2006 He took care of bidness; I just hope she's telling the truth, since dad's facing a felony charge.We had a similar situation locally last year and the student turned out to be making it up. EDIT: I notice on that site that the Vermont judge changed his sentence for the child rapist. It's so easy to get so righteously enraged about this kind of stuff. BUT, the child could be mistaken. We had a case several years back, where a teenage daughter went to the pastor's wife for counseling. The parents brought her. The wife had a degree in counseling, but was not a licensed therapist. To make a long story short, through "regression therapy," the daughter recalled that her father had molested her, even using knives.After two years, the minister losing his ordination, the family being horribly split up, the father's lawyer ordered that the daughter be medically examined. Yeah...she was still a virgin. There was no medical evidence that any of the memories were true...and indeed they could not have been.I don't believe the girl was lying. I don't believe the counselor intended to plant false memories. BUT, the daughter was terribly wrong. The minister got his ordination back, plus a $1,000,000 settlement. The family slowly healed. BUT, WOW!I for one, try never to rush to judgment-even when it seems so certain. Quote
john doe Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Ooops, looks like the daughter was not entirely telling the truth. Read the story here. Quote
Outshined Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 That's what I was afraid of. So now she faces expulsion and her dad faces a felony charge all for a lie. Quote
Josie Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 It is too bad how many lives can be destroyed or badly damaged by lies just to get even or because we are trying to cover our own behinds. Lies can be so harmful, and not to just the one telling them, but to everyone that they effect too. Is there any wonder why God said: "Thou Shall not bare false witness." ? Quote
Sugarbay Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 I hope the teachers aide has some undersatnding given the climate in the world today where everyone seems to be touching something they shouldn't. We had a case in our county a few years back where the fellow who works at the local store here had an altercation with a guy that involved a gun and the shootee losing the necessary equipment to, shall we say, procreate. The shooter found the man in the kitchen when he came in the door after work and heard his daughter screaming and so proceeded to relieve the shootee of this burden he seemed to be having trouble with. He never spent one day in jail. The other fellow, I imagine, is seriously thinking of getting his application in now forthe Vienna boys choir after he gets out of jail. There may some advantage to living is a rural county. B) Quote
Palerider Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 I was flipping channels the other night and came across the Bill O"Reilly show and I do believe he was talking with several people involved in that case from Vermont. Quote

I so agree with you Josie, too many people in the nation don't think of the commandments. I have sooo many scriptures about lies and falsehoods ....actually Just Looking started me looking them up awhile ago during a discussion about lies. Quote
Outshined Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Exactly; if she'd faced the original punishment, she'd be okay. Instead a teacher is attacked, her dad goes to jail, and she gets thrown out of school. Quote
Palerider Posted January 28, 2006 Report Posted January 28, 2006 Archie Bunker when talking about the 10 Commandments would always say.."It must be pretty important if God made it one of the top 10"...... Quote
shanstress70 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Report Posted January 30, 2006 OOPS! I bet that girl is in trouble with her dad... he seems like a pretty no-nonsense guy! I wonder if he had the kahunas to go apologize to the teacher's aide? Quote
