Child Molester Glorified by Dateline NBC...

Here we are comparing 5-year-olds to 13-year-olds again. Come on nursie, do you really believe you were the same person at 5 than you were at 13? This is the thinking that I'm referring to--refusal to accept that some young people are very sexually mature for their age (not necessarily mature in other ways). Not only are they not traumatized by sexual experiences, they actively seek them out and can handle them. Not legal, but true nonetheless.

were you the same at 18 as you were at 13? Unlikely...
 
in my opinion, it was wrong in many different levels. Obviously cause of the ones that everyone's mentioned, but no one mentioned her ex husband, and the kids she had with her ex.

I have strong family values. the way I see it is, (and don't get me wrong, there are many exeptions), but, if you marry someone, and you are willing to have not 1, not 2, but 3 children with that person, you should have respect for your kids, and fix whatever's wrong with your marriage.

imagine how her son must have felt knowing that some kid, 1 year older than him, had sex with his mom? What must have been going through his mind when he found out that info?

Regardless of how you feel about that other person, she had priorities. At the time, those priorities should have been, respecting the fact that the kid was still in gradeschool, and regardless of whether or not he said he loved her, to wait until he's old enough to understand what he's getting himself into.. And the fact that she has a family of her own to love and respect.. It's hard enough on young children to have to go through seeing their parents split up, but having them split up for such a reason is just wrong.

I dont feel like MKL's lover is a victim, but her husband and children from her previous marriage, they are victims.

Sorry, but shipping people out of the country because you don't like their lifestyle reeks of intolerance to me. You can't seem to face the fact that both of these people are adults now .
I said nothing about shipping people out. Read the post. It said get a visa or just go, their choice.

Did not mention anything about the present. What they are doing now, I couldn't care less for. I do care that there is a standard (come to think of it, it's called a law), she broke it badly (is there any good way?), and that we've got the media glorifying it, using the present day to justify the crime in the past. Yes, it was in the past, and she was correctly convicted in the past.

v/r, N-A

Technically the situation could be seen as statutory rape. But these people are adults now, and by their own admission "in love". That's good enough for me.
Did I just read that?

A national TV show glorifies child molestation, and I hear mentions of "consent"?

A serious law, and human decency was violated.

Where do some want to draw the line on this issue? 10 years old? 12?

The media went off and over the deep end on this one!

Rosita nailed it... MKL is a selfish, deeply disturbed woman...She has stolen that kids life and ruined her first familys...
Bubbles, you cant tell me that your view of "love" is the same now as it was at 13... He was a lonely kid and she should of thrown the brakes on any "love" that she/he perceived existed...
"Morally bankrupt" is the perfect label for her- Thanks Rosita!
 
Although I feel what MLK did was morally disgusting and wrong, I thought I would throw this at ya. Let's say that MLK turned his advances down when he tried to hit on her. And lets say, for the sake of argument that he was very upset by this. Now, lets say that he decided to break into her house and rape her. And maybe he decided to kill her as well. Would he then become an adult? Would we decide to call him one in order to punish him like one? Probably. So when is it okay to bend the rules? Why is it okay to call a minor an adult because they have committed a serious crime? This has been done hundreds of times. We dont even stick to our own rules! Once again I want to say that I do feel what MKL did was a crime and that Villie or whatever his name is most likely wouldnt have done what I have suggested, but if he had, how quickly would we have called him an adult?
 
Jodi- You have gone out on the "worlds biggest limb"...Are you saying her crime was justified so that another would/could/shouldnt/wouldnt whatever commit one? Your point is so severely off topic that there is little or no point in addressing it...

All I know is that if any adult woman tried to seduce my CHILD I would go completely snakey...
