(62,325 posts)I believed, especially since the admitted it, was a child molester if I was claiming to be against it in the first place.
I would think that a mother whose own child was abused would be even MORE angry than someone who has not experienced such a horrific thing, than anyone else regardless of whose child it is.
Sorry, but with all the people who have stated, people who were there, such as nannies eg, who quit because they were being pressured to go along with the story, I have serious doubts this ever happened.
Do people lie about these things? The answer is 'yes' far more often than some people care to admit. Mia Farrow did not help her daughter by teaching her to cling to hatred for Allen. She clearly hates the man, which is her business. But even if that child was abused, the worst thing to do is to promote never letting go of it.
There have been children who have seen their parents and siblings blown to bits in Iraq eg, left to fend for themselves or to hope that someone will look out for them. WE caused this abuse, this trauma to little children.
If we spent as much time on trying to STOP what our government is doing to these little children, as we do to a couple of movie moguls who got into a nasty custody battle more than two decades ago, all of whom are doing quite well, they are rich, they are coddled and treated like kings and queens wherever they go so, Imagine how many children we could save if the same energy and 'concern' for little children was to be focused on forcing our government to end these draconian policies?
Seems a little out of proportion to me, the amount of 'concern' there is for this grown woman who is now happily married, not wanting for anything, with a family who loves her, and then, the total absence of concern for the millions of beautiful children whose lives our government has so adversely and tragically affected.
I know if I put up an OP asking for some interest in some of these children in Iraq, in Pakistan, in Afghanistan, Yemen, it would be lucky if it got a few comments.
Same syndrome Mia Farrow is afflicted with, according to you, total absorbtion in her own problems, zero concern for others with the same problem she purports to care so much about. If you care about something, you care about it, period.
