PsychoMom

Did they catch the fool?

Leaving Dalton now heading that way. My mom called me about this and I have followed up on PsychoDaughter and soon-to-be PsychoDaughterInLaw. They are safe and accounted for. Hubby is checking his aunt, his grandmother, and his cousin's wife. Whoever it is, prayers for their family.

Just reading their names brought tears to my eyes this morning. God bless their families.

Prayers to his family and friends.

Just heard about this. My mom heard it on the phone from a friend. Any info?

Praying for the families of those involved.

Brenda is my husband's aunt. She has been battling cancer for a while. She was one hell of a fighter! 11 weeks ago today, she was told she had only 2-3 days left. She made it 11 weeks and has been up and talking most of those. These last few days have been very hard on her and the family as we watched her fade away. She was holding on as long as she could. I think she was really wanting to see one of her cousins. He had been her best friend growing up. Unfortunately, he never made it to visit. I want him to know how much she loved him. She told me stories of them getting in tro

Prayers sent.

DAMMIT! My daughter is STAYING HOME today. Bad karma out there.

Praying for a good outcome.

Hopefully she just chose to have someone drive her to the hospital for a check up. It sounds like she is okay though.

Oh! I hope she is okay! Lightning hit here a little while ago. I was on the porch and it wasn't even raining or thundering before it hit. Scared me to death!

LOL! My daughter fell asleep in a laundry basket of warm clothes one time. Luckily, I found her quickly. I just let her sleep. It was just too cute. But I did get a picture!

I'm just curious as to why someone is suspicious for being at a park. What were they doing? Of course, it was pretty late to be hanging out at a public park. Maybe a little extra income for someone or something. HMM?

Sounds like your kid did something stupid &/or has stupid friends (as kids do) and their behavior got your wife involved. If your kid did something to warrant anyone calling the cops, maybe you should be dealing with him instead of fussing on here.

As stated earlier, "unfounded" covers several things, including false allegations. And only 8% were unfounded. http://www.stats.org/stories/2002/commonly_dec13_06.htm I do feel sorry for you though. You are so clueless. And I feel even more sorry for any women in your life who may be victimized. You, no doubt, will think it to be a lie.

http://www.rainn.org/statistics/reporting.html 2003, your numbers are ridiculous! But, hey, maybe you will never have to deal with it.

Didn't say it never happened, only said it was very rare. I can see 2-3% being false, not nearly 50%. Honestly, can you? You did not post "facts," you posted propaganda. A cult is your basis of fact? A seriously flawed study is your fact? WRONG! I have to call you on that one.

I guess when you see as many victims as I have and you have heard how they changed their stories because the investigation was just too painful, you get a little defensive. I think people need to be aware that false reports are rare. Extremely rare. I had to hold a 12yo down so the hospital could complete a sexual assault kit on her. She went through HELL, and she was only 12. It had to be done or a child rapist would have been free to walk the streets. As a mother, I would have a hard time allowing my child to go through that. As an adult, I would be tempted to drop the whole thi

Again, small study (2 college campuses), old study (1988), and who did the investigating (campus cops). Think about it? You are a young girl on a college campus. Do you want to be known as the girl who cried rape? Or would you just want it to go away? Just say it didn't happen? After all, you wore THOSE shorts, you kissed THAT guy, you were drinking THAT much, you got in THAT car. Would you want to deal with it? If (and it does happen to men too) you were raped by a man, would you want to have to tell the story over and over to everyone? Would you want doctors probing your priva

http://sa.rochester.edu/masa/stats.php Still looking for better evidence, but this is a fairly acceptable resource.

I already explained why some women change their story, so "admitting" it was a false report isn't clear cut to me EXACTLY! One small town in the MidWest with one police department (who knows how they question people) is not an acceptable study. EDITED TO ADD: Polygraphs will be inconclusive if the person taking the exam is extremely emotional and upset, like a rape victim maybe? Also, FYI, people who are sociopaths will pass a lie detector with no problem. Why? Because their heart rate and blood pressure are not impacted by lying because they don't care about lying.

Still researching, but here is a start. http://cathyyoung.blogspot.com/2005/12/pro...llegations.html http://www.ccasa.org/documents/Rape_Myths_&_Facts.pdf Not a favorite link. Prefer official ones.

Please show your link to this study. I find it suspect at best and would like to check out its validity. BTW, I used your number on the number of false reports and I also showed WHY some reports are changed during investigation. I also am noting how dated your studies are and the belief that most people had regarding rape 15-20 years ago.

This is where your supporting facts came from???? http://www.anandaanswers.com/test.html
