As I viewed about thirty minutes of Dr. Phil today, I was totally disgusted with the grandmother and grandfather of a six-year old little girl that had been molested.

Not a day goes by without either seeing it on the news or reading it in the paper: an adult taking advantage of a child that totally trusts them.

What is it about taking a child’s innocence that men and women in society today find so compelling?

The grandfather told Dr. Phil that he didn’t know that what he was doing was a crime. I’m sorry, did I miss something here? Since when does something have to be a crime in order for it to be wrong? What could he possibly have been thinking?

Not only that, but his son, the father of the child, said that he had cried many nights for his father. Okay now, what is his problem?! He said he never cried for his daughter.

Is this family twisted or what? And finally to top it all off, the grandmother said that when the child told her about it, as she was bathing her, she told her that it really didn’t happen, and that if it did, then it happened by accident. Accident? Tripping over your own foot is an accident. Knocking over a vase is an accident. Slipping on an icy pair of steps is an accident… molesting your granddaughter is not.

People like him and those who cover for him need to punished in the worst way. Its at times like these that I wish I was both Judge and jury.
