OK, I know some will disagree with me. But here goes...:truce:
I agree with what others have said about grandma H. being uneducated and just repeating what Misty and Joe tell her. I feel they are using her as well to throw Joe under the bus. I also feel that if grandma H. leaves us with suspicions on certain questions, it's because LE has told her to kept quiet about certain things.
Now, this issue with Joe and Misty..:truce:
I am with grandma H. First, we have to remember the class of people we are talking about. Some girls are very promiscuous and start having sex by the age of 11 years, sad to say. As bad as that sounds and is, they are out there and most don't cry rape. Some do when they are caught by their parents to try and get out of trouble, and others the parents file the charges because the child should not be having sex, whether consensual or not.
IMO, If Misty had sex with Joe it was consensual sex. SHE WENT TO HIM! PER GRANMA. There is not much of an age difference between the two. There are many teens now days between the age of 14yrs-19yrs that have consensual sex. We may see it as molestation, but in reality it's not If they are engaging in sex by choice. By law of course it's illegal, that is the law.
18 yr olds having sex with a minor is a felony. An 18yr old having sex with a 15yr old - 17yr old now days is happing everywhere. Yes, there are cases where molestation happens, but most teens are sexually active by choice.
In most cases these young teen come from broken home, then you have the ones that are just promiscuous from an early age. Remember, back in the day girls would get married by the age of 14 years and some younger. Depending on the nationality. It does not make it right, it may sound sick, but it is what it is.
As a survivor, I can tell you that if someone was molesting me I would not go to their house, nor would I invite them to mine. It's a shame when females cry wolf when it comes to rape/molestation. It gives the real survivors a less chance with the judicial system. Unless it is caught on tape, and even then...it is hard to prove.
I am a survivor. I was molested from the age of 4yrs-11yrs. Raped at 15yrs had a child from that monster, Raped again when I was in my mid 20's. Did I get justice? No, because back then it was more important to keep up the family name, than to stand up for your child. That is why this case makes me so angry. Don't lie Misty...your just hurting the real victims. As you have done with Haleigh!:furious:
