You sound like the cops who sided with the ‘respected’ doctor rather than the child victim back in 2004. But at least the cops have now apologized, while you continue to defend a child molester.
“while you continue to defend a child molester”
You have a problem with reading comprehension. This is not always caused by deterioration of your cognitive skills. Sometimes there are emotional bases for the problem. Examine both possibilities.
Not only do I not “continue” to defend Dr. Nassar but I also never did defend him.
Rather, if you read my post, perhaps out loud, you will see that I was actually adding blame to the victims and their parents.
The parents are so angry because in their hearts they know they failed their children. I deduce this because they imparted to the children a very unhealthy importance of Olympic success.
And, the girls themselves must not have been as traumatized as they claimed or they would not have continued with the pervert in silence. They wanted something (Olympic success) and the tolerance of the perversion was part of the price. Children don’t get a pass when they act deliberately. Just because it is sexually related doesn’t mean they didn’t have a part in it. Of course they should be excused for their silence, but that does not change the fact that they got something they perceived as valuable from it.
If your 8 year old steals money from your wallet and gives it to the teacher because the teacher says he will fail him, dashing his hopes for college, he still stole your wallet.
If the girls did not have a correct appreciation of how wrong the touching was, who is to blame?
