A Touchy Subject: Child Molestation

June 25th 2007

I’ve decided I want to rant about something, and I imagine it may or may not piss some people off.

I think that child molestation charges are thrown around too generously. I think they’ve become a weapon of preadolescent brats and immature, horrid women. And here’s why.

When I was 8 years old, and my mother left my father. In order to get full custody of me, she accused my father of molesting me, and she won the case. But it never happened.

When my sister was 8, her father and my mother split up, and she got full custody at first and a (so far) almost 10 year custody battle ensued. In 2002 I testified against my mom in court because she tried to accuse my sister’s father of the exact same thing in order to get custody. Fortunately she lost complete custody due to her psychotic husband, and because of my testimony and copies of my fathers custody case for me.

A close friend of mine had a younger sister that accused their step father of molesting her. At first he believed her, because really, you can’t -not- believe your family or children if they make that type of accusation. But later on she told him that she only made the accusation because she didn’t want to live at home anymore, she wanted to live with her brother.

I think it’s ridiculous how it’s become such a weapon, but at the same time, you have to at least investigate the matter for the sake of the supposed victim. If my daughter came to me with an accusation like that, I’d have to believe her, I’d have no choice as a mother. But the court’s should not be biased on the situation. There should be as thorough an investigation as possible on both sides, because cases like these are often guilty until proven innocent.

Especially if the victims are spoiled brats that are known as thieves and liars.

Makes my head hurt.
