How did Pennsylvania fail one child abuse victim so miserably?

"We did the best we could."



Chris Cuomo's moving interview with Aaron Fisher, 18, otherwise known as "Victim Number 1" is so important we thought it deserved its own post.

How did teachers, principals, police, investigators, prosecutors, Pennsylvania's Office of Children, Youth and Families (CYS), therapists and two grand juries let Jerry Sandusky continue to molest children for three years after Aaron first reported the abuse to them? Chris Cuomo tries to find out why, and hold people accountable.

"Why are you moving so fast now when you moved so slowly when Aaron needed your help?" Cuomo shouts to a school principal running away from him. Karen Probst, mandated by law to report any abuse, instructed Aaron to go home and think about it when he first disclosed the abuse to her. She is still principal.

Will anyone ever be held accountable for the child abuse and child labor violations perpetrated against the Gosselin children for years? According to Robert Hoffman, he reported the child abuse allegations to CYS twice. Is this the best they could do?

Aaron's book Silence No More: Victim 1's Fight For Justice Against Jerry Sandusky is available for purchase on Amazon.com

dee3, you know, I've never seen the show because I refuse to watch TLC. Oh, how do I say this without seeming cruel? If the parents are not that bright, it seems like they were exactly what TLC was looking for. They use people for their own financial gain.

However, my opinion still is, and always has been, that the parents are responsible for the decisions they make regarding their children. HBB's parents, already being on Toddlers and Tiaras, had to know about the Gosselin saga and all that happened. Also, it was their responsibility to talkk to someone (an attorney perhaps), if they were unsure of the contract terms. I know that I would have to because I could never understand all of the legal mumbo jumbo!

I completely understand what you are saying, dee3. But after this whole saga with the Gosselins, I am very quick to say parents need to beware and act more responsible.

It's too chilly to be outside in bare feet today. I'm here in front of a sunny window with the breeze coming in (after having to have the AC on all summer I love having the windows open), but I have to say my bare toes feel a little cold.

The oppression in that picnic photo is palpable. Shoes off and not allowed on the blanket. Little to no food, all packed in individual baggies. The scene does not look the least bit fun...yet those poor tups sure know how to smile on cue.

She was probably in exploitation withdrawal.

I wonder if the kids understand when Mama is taking a photo to celebrate your nice picnic lunch together after not seeing each other in more than a week, she's exposing it to hundreds of thousands of people. They are plenty old enough to be embarrassed about that.

They didn't know the world was watching them all those years before kindergarten, but maybe Mady and Cara clue them in now.

LoveMyGrandsons said...

Paula, I don't believe that dee3 was trying to insult anyone, much less make a statement about an entire group of people. She was giving an observation of what she thought after watching the show a few times. From her post, you can tell the kind heart she has because her heart was breaking for that little girl who was so embarassed by the situation. HBB should never have been in that position in the first place.

I have never watched the show, but I have to say that I don't think any parent is too bright who agrees to put their kids on a reality show for profit. That includes Jon and Kate, the Duggars, HBB family, and all of them.

dee3 said...

LoveMyGrandsons said... 190

Ah...my bad. I just went an checked TMZ and saw that.
I guess it would be difficult to "prove" that one child was "touching" another...in terms of physical evidence.

One of the big red flags to me....regarding Octomom....is that she never just says an allegation is untrue.....but has to give some sort of elaborate reason why the person would have made the allegation....and this time it was that one of the nannies wanted the octuplets for herself.....and that both nannies were mad that she'd moved to a different house/area.

Overly-elaborating always sounds fishy to me....and she seems to do it quite a lot. I had felt really sorry for Octomom back when she was being massacred in the press while Kate G. was being commended....and I have always felt sorry for Octomom's kids.....and that they shouldn't have to suffer because their mother was being made such a pariah.
And certainly Octomom has always come across as a much nicer person than Kate G. (a wacky person....but nice, nonetheless)....and I give her credit for attempting to raise all those children.

But I have to say....there are too many red flags for me...where there's smoke there's fire. I predict this same issue will come up again in the future...but the children will be older....and it won't just get dropped.
----------------------------
I'd had no idea....and just learned last night (as I was roaming the internet when I couldn't figure out where everyone went here)....that Adrienne Maloof and her husband split and that she'd accused him of physical abuse.

I'm very behind and not up-to-date when it comes to celebrity news. :D

I think being ignorant to people taking advantage of you and ignorant to the entertainment world and ignorant to how best to protect your child aren't necessarily related to IQ, but they can be.

I think we all know bright people who are lacking in other areas, like common sense. Like say directionally challenged. If you based it just on that you might think they were really dumb.

Winsomeone said...

Why would they picnic on a blanket on the cold damp ground, when they have a large picnic table in their patio area?

dee made a generalization about Alana's family. I would ask all of us to remember that people read and post on this blog from all over this country and the world. Sterotypes and generalizations are hurtful.

The G kids needed to be protected more from their own parents than from the big bad world outside. Especially, as I've always said, the "reality" show they were on was about number 8 on the list of things that hurt them.

Paula said...

You know Tamara, you never pass up an opportunity to drag Jon into Kate's mess. Why is that? He has apologized for the past and seems to be doing his best to protect his children now.

anger issues kate said...

I see Kate did not waste any time exploiting the tups, as soon as she got home. The sentence under the pic says 8 kids, gee Kate guess you can't count either, there are only 6 kids, and they are the tups only. I guess the picnic will have to take the place of Halloween.

Kate has been a laugingstock for the last week. She's oblivious to the fact that she's done. What does she do when she finally gets home? Forces her barefoot kids outside for a photo-op. She really lives in her own world.

Lol.. I now realize just how bad it has got for Kate. Don't judge me ladies...but I visited a NSFW message board today and lo and behold there was a thread about Kate and her vivid offer. I clicked on it thinking that most guys wouldn't mind seeing her naked.... Wow was I surprised, lol.. Out of 50ish replies, only about two or so posters wanted to see her nude...the rest were bashing the hell out of Kate. I was surprised that they even new about the child abuse,dog abuse and etc. Just thought I'd share.

Formerly Duped said...

Dreams: that's weird-- I did read it and respond ergo it existed!

I know you were kidding about Dwindle , no prob.

Your question was, would would YOU pack for the chilly little 'lunch picnic?" for the kids? Kate shoved a backpack of packaged yogurt tubes, juice boxes, half sandwiches and 'crunchy things 'Paper plates, not sure what else. No dessert? Yum. Not.

LoveMyGrandsons said...

Paula, you are right that there should not be any generalizations about any area, but I don't think that is what dee3 meant. I truly am sorry the comment was hurtful to you.

Tamara, you are right that the G kids have alot to deal with in their lives, and most of it just came to light after RH book. Although it was suspected, there was no proof until now. The issue is that the reality show made things worse because of Kate's greed and love of fame.

None of them are barefoot, they're all in nice thick cotton socks and appropriate long sleeved shirt and jeans. There's nothing wrong with their outfits and this is when it gets to be too picky on Kate.

Not to mention kids frequently run around in shorts and tshirts when adults say it's way too cold. That's just kids.

dee3 said...

@Paula~
I don't know why you keep thinking I'm denigrating the south. It has absolutely nothing to do with the south. I live literally minutes from Elkton, MD. I used to live near Avondale, PA back in the 80's. I LIVE with hundreds of families like the Thompsons and I don't live in the south.

And yes, stereotypes and generalizations are hurtful. It's June herself that refers to her family as "rednecks".....and the family came up with that term "redneckocize". I never even called them rednecks. There are thousands and thousands families like the Thompsons all over the US...not just in the south.

And a good many of them would have never allowed a crew to film their poor little just-turned 7 year old daughter in a highly embarrassing and mortifying situation like that and shown it to the whole world....and now immortalized forever on youtube, etc. They would have never allowed a corporation to use their family for entertainment so people all over the globe could lampoon them. Have you even seen some of the stuff written all over the internet about them?

Not everyone has the good fortune to be able to afford a college education and not everyone has the good fortune to travel extensively and to see what people can be like all over the world. That doesn't necessarily mean they can't have some common sense and wisdom. There are plenty of wise folks who didn't get the benefit of a college education.

Yes, they are a very nice and loving family....but what WOULD you call parents who allow their young children to be plastered all over the internet so others can lampoon them? Who allow a TV crew to film them farting, eating cheese balls, showing their young daughter grabbing her belly and moving it around to make it look like a face talking.....and not realize this would set them up to be lampooned?

And the problem is....there are probably hundreds of parents who would make the decision to allow this....and I call it a STUPID decision. I don't care if you're a "redneck" or not. With Kate G....I think it was pure narcissism and a need for attention and money.....but with June? I'm not sure why she's allowing this.

There are a lot of decisions June makes for her family that aren't the best....what she feeds them and lets them eat just for starters...but I have to believe she just doesn't know any better. And I have to believe that she just didn't know any better when she allowed the TLC film crew to film what they are filming of her family and especially of her children. She didn't really have the capacity to comprehend just what she was getting them (particularly the minor children) into.

Because she's certainly a loving mother....you can't say she's not....so why is she allowing it? I have to think she doesn't know any better....that she allowed something without realizing the long-term consequences for her children.

But TLC DOES know better....and they don't care. They will take advantage of any family like the Thompsons and laugh all the way to the bank. And I hold TLC to a higher standard than I do those parents....and that's just the way I see it. Do I hold them accountable? Yes....but not to the degree that I hold TLC. To me, TLC is totally taking advantage of them.

LaLaLandNoMore said...

Kate has lost all credibility. This teasing on twitter is so juvenile, isn't it? All the emphasis on the fun, etc. is just crazy. Not to be believed, none of it.

I think Kate is embarrassed by her background and wants to distance herself as far away as possible from her own roots. I know other people who are similar and that is what I see. Running as fast as they can. She acts like she wants to "rise above" her own people. Someone told me once that if someone takes a team of psychiatrists to figure them out, it isn't worth it. The woman needs help that we cannot give to her.

I agree with those who feel Kate is being taken advantage of. That is very possible. With that ego, she is an easy target.

Moose Mania said...


Does she insist on getting her underwear at KMart?

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

:) Probably not, since Kate lost the KMart gig. Milo wrote to them telling them that they didn't know a good thing when they had it, and it was their loss and Kate was on to bigger and better things. Truth was that the store in Cincinnati didn't carry the boxers in pink and the tag didn't say "Milo."

Looked at the pic again. Yes, socks, not bare feet, although Aaden has his feet tucked inside his pant leg on the opposite side.(looks cold) I also noticed that the girls definitely have tie shoes and the boys' shoes in evidence have velcro.

Collin also has what looks like a per-packaged apple sauce? So much for Green Kate!

I don't know about where they live but here (New England) it was too cold for a picnic.

Take this for what it's worth, but a guy who, according to his twitter profile, lives in Wyomissing just tweeted:

What in the heck would she be looking for or trying to get to to drive like that?

I am sure she was escaping from the mob of paparazzi that was following her.

Jumping In said...

Admin, I agree, the sextuplets look so different form one another, especially as they grow. They could easily have normal lives if their mother stopped putting their pictures on the Internet. The other thing she tends to so is take the twins out together, or the sextuplets out together. She rarely, if ever, takes a smaller combination of the two. She needs to remind the world of her notoriety by dragging them out in their respective "units".

I am waiting for the day when these kids start giving her the push-back she deserves, when they say, "no, we do not want our pictures on the Internet, stop doing this to us!"

Amen. It was a great day to be outside and enjoy the sun. Yes, they have a picnic table, but I think that it's under cover, isn't it? They probably wanted to be on the lawn to feel the warm sun. There was no problem with the way they were dressed, the kids didn't look like they were in agony or unhappy in any way, and maybe they had more food (and dessert) in a basket, or perhaps it was a snack and not their regular lunch. They were on a blanket, not plopped down in cold soggy grass, barefoot and shivering.

The pickiness (is that a word?) really does get to be silly.

Well, Kates doing the blame game. It's everyone else fault, they are picking on me. Her last 3 tweets are blaming the haters, that she is not like what they are saying about her. Kate still has not address the CC firing. Though what she just tweeted, did, in Kates twisted way.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

Well she did specifically say this was their lunch, not a snack, but that doesn't mean that this wasn't the END of the lunch and they already ate most everything else.

In my opinion there's not a single thing to pick on about this photo other than the fact that she is using it to exploit them. I don't understand why the kids can't have a nice, relaxing picnic in PRIVATE with their mother without her thinking about how she can exploit the event. It makes me think she really does not see these kids as anything but little money making tools.

Geez Kate, at least spend a few days alone with them after being gone so long before pushing them back into the spotlight.

Formerly Duped said...

Parent: I agree, nothing much to pick on but since it's Kate... she did say she liked them to eat outside- remember that cold vacation lunch at a playground?- b/c it's less work for her. She also did say it was lunch- Twazzup was saying something about egg salad. I have no problem with the food other than the pre-packaging used when she claims not to use it, and the knapsack is in view. She said it was lunch, looks much like their school lunch. I would maybe have something special or different from school if this was meant to be a treat. Collin is in short-sleeves, but you live nearby, so I will agree it was warm enough, although Aaden IMO looks cold the way his feet are tucked in...that's all! Yes, it is picky, but more snarky- at least that's how I meant it. No neglect or abuse, just Kate's usual making a big deal of nothing and one or two little fibs. Excuse to tweet a pic of the kids and play Super Mom.

Paula said...

Kids with Jon = no picture, no tweets, total privacy for the kids. Kids with Kate = twitter picture within hours.

What say you sheeple?

At least the kids got nine days of utter silence for once.

No cute things they say being tweeted, no posing for pictures, no being used in any form whatsoever. They just got to be the kids that they are. Kids we shouldn't know anything about.

readerlady said...

dee3 -- I agree with you. And Paula, I don't think Dee was saying that HBBs parents are unintelligent, and I don't think she was "denigrating" them because they are southern. It sounds like they are unsophisticated. That is not insulting to anyone. If you haven't been exposed to the machinations of a corporation like TLC, you aren't going to understand the lengths to which they will go to get their way about anything. It has nothing to do with being Southern or "talking slow" or being unintelligent.

When I mentioned that they had no shoes on, I wasn't trying to be picky. I just wondered why, if they were outside, they had to remove their shoes to sit on a blanket that was on the ground. It just didn't make sense to me.

Otherwise, I see nothing wrong with the picture, except (as Admin said) the fact that she tweeted it at all. She probably just wanted to prove that indeed she was home and that the kids were with her.

Anon said...

'Boo Boo first made a name for herself on TLC’s infamous reality show Toddlers & Tiaras. In her most famous episode she guzzles her mom’s homemade concoction of Mountain Dew and Red Bull (aka Go-Go Juice) before stepping onto the pageant stage.

If you never caught an episode, you need to know that the cast of characters includes stay-at-home mom June, chalk-mining dad Sugar Bear, and sisters 12-year-old Lauryn ”Pumpkin,” 15-year-old Jessica “Chubbs,” and 17-year-old pregnant Anna “Chickadee.” The show depicts them doing their favorite things: picking up road kill, bobbing for pigs’ feet, four-wheeling through mud pits, and eating piles of junk food. In one episode, Honey Boo Boo is depressed because of a string of pageant losses. Sugar Bear cheers up his princess by bringing home a pet teacup pig who Alana names Glitzy.

This might all sound rather entertaining but the sad thing is that TLC sensationalizes the family’s red neck ways and you get this sick feeling that Boo Boo is being exploited. The show also seems like an unfair and unrealistic depiction of small-town Georgia families, and as an AP article suggests, “perpetuates offensive stereotypes.” The show basically says that red necks are fat, foul, uneducated, and poor. Many McIntyre locals are upset by this.'

The camera does love HBB and she loves it right back. I don't agree about the press junket they have been on this week. It wasn't necessary. She is quite actually now the most famous child in the country, if not the world.

She is going to be on Dr. Drew on Tuesday and she is shown with her head down not responding to him. June needs to take her home and let her be happy and have some degree of a normal life.

Anyway, I missed what happened to her that upset her. Can someone fill me in please?

dee3 said...

Thank you readerlady, LMG, and Anon #50.
I often word things in a way that get misunderstood. I absolutely would not want to denigrate the south (I've never even had the opportunity to visit the south) or any particular group of people. Heck, I'm Jewish and surely know better. It's TLC who is denigrating them and it's TLC that really angers me.

See...what bothers me is that yes, these parents are ultimately the ones responsible.....but what if the parent makes a bad decision on behalf of the child? Then that's just too bad for the child? And TLC gets a pass because the parents....be they too narcissistic and on a quest for fame or they just don't know any better....allow this to happen to their child/children?

At what point does the buck stop? To some degree....we are all responsible just for watching the shows.

I've been over watching some of the news reporting from the Sandusky trial and from the victim #1 interview.....and boy, it's really chilling. That poor Aaron trying to hide in the school bathroom and trying to flee from Sandusky on his bike.
And the stories about Sandusky taking those boys down to his basement with his wife upstairs. That wife of his is some piece of work....but then who knows? Was she scared of him? Stockholm Syndrome?

There are so many villains in this story besides Sandusky....that other Penn State coach who saw him in the shower with one of the boys (not Paterno)...that principal...that whole group..Mile High or something (?) and their board, Tom Corbett.....and on and on.

The main problem I have with the whole Paterno thing is the whole "falling on his sword" issue. I have no problem holding someone accountable.....but not while all the rest skate.

Sure...Kate is the main villain in the Gosselin saga....and she should rightly go down....but what about TLC?
Isn't it just repeating the pattern of non-accountability to see her go down and then keep watching TLC exploit other families? Tell ourselves, well Kate is a horrible person and she deserves it.....whereas Mama June is nice...so no problem here..........and TLC just goes on its merry way, turning a blind eye to ANYTHING that hurts a young child?

Kate can only really hurt the Gosselin 8 but TLC? They can go on hurting an endless number of young children forever.

I mean, really.....think about it....yeah, that principal is a terrible person. BUT....just how far would even she have gotten if Gov. Tom Corbett was taking huge donations from that Mile High charity and the corruption went all the way up to the top? I'm not supporting this principal at all. I think she's despicable....but it's a huge assumption that anyone along the chain of command can ring the bell and cause the whole thing to come to a screeching halt.

So many question Jon, the film crew, etc....but just HOW do you get stuff like this to finally be revealed and stopped when the cover-up goes all the way up to the top of the ladder?

@MyBorderCollie yes it is! Let the world throw stones&criticize---I am NOT that person they paint me 2b.I'm a loving mom w 8 kids 2care 4!

...and she says Shoka was in the house when the photo was taken.

===========

Rare is the dog who wants to be inside when his people are outside.... I don't believe it. Especially since Kate prefers him outside anyway. In fact, most dogs go nuts when they're stuck inside while the family is in the yard! If Shoka was around, she would have made sure he was in that photo. Something's up with that poor dog.

admin....in one of the last few episodes, when they were in australia meeting purseboy's parents, she left the kids with what looks like one babysitter to play at the beach...and left with purseboy to go diving with sharks.

They both got in the cage together, him grabbing her legs...then after, she said it was the absolutely the best day of her life. huh?

It's on netflix.

capecodmama said...

Just looked at the picture of the kids on Kate's twitter and Stephanie is over there! I wonder if Kate's jealous because Stephanie looks better than her.

Are the kids in their own yard? If so, why do they need a blanket and why are their shoes off?

She said he would have eaten all the lunches if he were outside. It's possible, I guess.

Of course the dog wants to be with them, outside, when they are outside.

When I wash my car out front my dog always perches himself on the ledge and looks at me with the saddest face watching my every move wishing he were out there. He doesn't understand I can't lug him around while I wash the car, lol.

Anyway of course they just want to be with you.

Then that's a poorly trained dog. Dogs can be taught, quite easily I might add, to not eat anything until you say it's okay. They can be taught to sit or lay down beside the picnic blanket while you eat.

German Shepherds are some of the smartest and easiest to train. I went to a K9 dog show last weekend and it was amazing how disciplined they are. They can be in full on attack mode then the second the person raises their hands to surrender they stop and back off like nothing happened.

Pity Party, re HBB. dee3 watched an episode and at one point, HBB sneezed I think. The snot came out of both nostrils and she immediately put her hand over her nose to cover it. dee3 said the child was embarassed and looked like she was close to tears. In the meantime, TLC just kept on filming it and never offered the little girl a kleenex or anything. In the meantime, the poor child seemed embarassed and was close to tears, and the camera people did nothing to ease her distress.

Mel said...

Yeah, it makes total sense to me. Real family like. Warm fall day, picnic in the yard, and keep the dog IN THE HOUSE. Yep, yep, yep.
Very family like.
Especially when you and the kids have been gone for 9 days and the dog missed the kids (not you, cuz he doesn't like dog beaters).

LoveMyGrandsons said...

Admin, I agree about german shepherds being one of the smartest dogs. Our Cody, who we had to put down in March, was very intelligent.

Inside, he knew never to come to the table when we were eating. Outside, he would sniff around, but we would tell him to go lay down and he would do that until everyone was finished eating.

Now, in all fairness, he wasn't so good when the grandkids were here, but that wasn't his fault. The boys would take a piece of whatever they were having for lunch, put it behind their back, and signal Cody to come over. No wonder he was such good friend with my grandsons!!

fidosmommy said...

My take on the picnic picture, for what it's worth.

1) I put the picture on to PrintShop and enlarged it. No sign of braces on H.

2) The shadows look a little long for this to be a lunch time picnic.

Kate keeps making up excuses not to take a picture of Shoka. How long does it take to snap a picture of a dog? It doesn't have to be perfectly posed--even a picture of him eating his dinner or playing with a toy.

His breed loves being around people, and should be included in family activities.

Sounds like my cat. He follows me all over the house if he thinks there's something in it for him (he is a grifting narcissist very much like you-know-who). And he will sleep only on clean, folded laundry, preferably black, on top of the warm dryer. He won't stoop to laying on a pile of the dirty stuff on the floor in front of the washing machine. Nevah.

But I digress. Kate is lying. Shoka is not with her anymore at the konpound.

I want so badly to believe he's with someone who loves him.

Yes! I actually lived IN West Grove back in the 80's for several years. I live in Bear, DE now....just a hop and a skip from Cecil Co. MD...and have lived here for gee, almost 30 years now. We moved here when my 32 year old was just a little tyke. I grew up in Newark, DE. (parents originally from NYC).
I went to Jennersville Hospital quite a few times back in the day to visit various sick friends and relatives.

So glad you are familiar with the area. Now you can corroborate that I certainly don't live in any upscale area or would even think to look down on the HBB family.
I got worried that Paula thought I was being an elitist or a snob.
And I would never presume to judge the south as I've never been to the south. I think the farthest south I've ever been was Washington DC.

Our bully splits his time between my husband and myself but he's always near one of us. When my MIL comes over for dinner he lays (lies?) in front of her at the table because he feels he should be the one between mom and dad (not the old lady who smells funny). Dogs want to be with their humans and not cooped up away from them. Kate is so full of shit her eyes are turning a darker shade of brown!

dee3 said...

OK...maybe this is a dumb question (because I really don't know what I'm talking about here)...but do they ever use those invisalign braces for children? One of my daughters-in-law has them but I never asked her if they use them for children. And they weren't available when my son got braces years ago.

IIRC, my DIL told me that she didn't get to finish the last stage of her regular braces so they are using these invisalign ones now for her to complete the process started years ago.

Realitytvkids.com ~ Administrator said...

You'd be nuts to give invisalign to an eight year old. They'd lose them in a heartbeat and forget too often to put them back in.

I've heard some dentists only do them for adults but some will do it for teens. Never heard of it for young kids though.

LOOK! They are HAPPY! Obviously I don't beat them.

Also, I'm almost sure something horrible happen to Shoka.

The Enablers don't like Jon becuase he WON'T post pictures of his kids. They are HIS kids, Not Milo's or CJ's or any other Idiot Who thinks they have a RIGHT to watch these children grow up.

Kudos Jon. No, he's not an angel his "supporters" would turn on him in a minute if he started exploiting the kids.

I rarely leave the dog home alone unless I have to...so he rarely gets to be home alone.

He seems to have this overwhelming guilt thing (why not? he got it from me)....and if I stub my toe or something and yell....he immediately takes it personally, runs back to an empty bedroom and "grounds" himself back there. It cracks me up. Then I have to go back there and lure him back out.

Of course....if he's outside with me and wandering off and I have to reprimand him to get back in our yard, he totally ignores me...which I can't figure out.....because if I even so much as yelp OW in the house, he runs and grounds himself in a back bedroom.

Now....do I get any privacy from the dog? Well, let's put it this way....I'm often crouching in the bathroom with the door shut, eating a sandwich, because I'm too much of a sucker for his begging eyes. :D

fidosmommy: good detective work! How strange- why go to the trouble, why not just tweet up a storm about how amazing the lunch was?

I also had noticed in the twit pic of the hayride with Jamie's kids, H did not look like she had braces after Kate had announced to the world that one tup now did. In other pics, they seemed 'faint' like she did not have a lot of 'metal' in her mouth, Who knows? At least H is getting her teeth fixed...I guess she is!

~~~~~

Yes indeed. My drooly dog is lying right here beside me as I type...she is my shadow and 'mourns' when I am out! But she would not eat any food unless told she could. Sometimes she finds some dropped morsel and 'asks permission' to have it! A trained dog definitely would not steal food- maybe a starving one would. If Kate was even present- which I doubt she was- she could have kept Shoka from eating anything. I also am concerned that Shoka is no longer around...

******************

My daughter had orthodontic work in two phases. She developed an overbite because her upper jaw grew faster than the lower jaw. She had to wear a Henkel appliance to correct that. She was probably 9 or 10? THEN she had to have full braces with rubberbands. She matured early so everything was off in middle school. That poor tup's teeth seemed very crowded. Is it possible that the braces (she's very young) were a temporary measure and their purposes are done until the next phase? Just a thought. The weather, the way the kids are dressed, and the stage of the leaves looks authentic for today in SE PA to me.

fidosmommy said...

My Fido. Terrier Mix, about 65 lbs. One ear longer than the other. A foundling - Oct. 26,
1987. Took me on miles-long walks 5 times a day. Refused to go back into the house until he got a car ride all around town with his head out the window. WOULD not budge off the sidewalk. Sat down and froze until he saw me move toward the car. Funny boy.

He would NOT get on the couch unless it was covered with a sheet. Once the clean sheet was on, that was HIS couch. He would share with me.

He had a bed in the hallway. Cat decided she liked it, slept on it one night. Fido came upstairs with me, saw cat on HIS bed, whined and pawed at the floor, then a light went off in his head. He flew into the bedroom, jumped on the bed and settled in. That was his bed from that night on.

He was my baby. I cannot imagine not giving him
everything he wanted and deserved. He was gentle, protective, nuzzly and wonderful.

Shoka deserves the same kind of relationship with a person.

Thank you readerlady, LMG, and Anon #50.
I often word things in a way that get misunderstood. I absolutely would not want to denigrate the south (I've never even had the opportunity to visit the south) or any particular group of people. Heck, I'm Jewish and surely know better. It's TLC who is denigrating them and it's TLC that really angers me.

See...what bothers me is that yes, these parents are ultimately the ones responsible.....but what if the parent makes a bad decision on behalf of the child? Then that's just too bad for the child? And TLC gets a pass because the parents....be they too narcissistic and on a quest for fame or they just don't know any better....allow this to happen to their child/children?

At what point does the buck stop? To some degree....we are all responsible just for watching the shows.

I've been over watching some of the news reporting from the Sandusky trial and from the victim #1 interview.....and boy, it's really chilling. That poor Aaron trying to hide in the school bathroom and trying to flee from Sandusky on his bike.
And the stories about Sandusky taking those boys down to his basement with his wife upstairs. That wife of his is some piece of work....but then who knows? Was she scared of him? Stockholm Syndrome?

There are so many villains in this story besides Sandusky....that other Penn State coach who saw him in the shower with one of the boys (not Paterno)...that principal...that whole group..Mile High or something (?) and their board, Tom Corbett.....and on and on.

********************

The other coach was the tall redhead, Mike McQueary. Gary Schutlz and Tim Curley ( I get them mixed up) were higher ups...Athletic Director and something. The foundation was Second Mile. I graduated Penn State in 1989. I celebrated the win over Miami for the national championship and watched Sandusky be hoisted up. My neighbor went to Miami and we watched half the game at our house the second half at hers. But I digress.

Second mile was a big thing at Penn State in the 80s. It's the social volunteer opportunity that was really pushed. Next to the dance marathon which raises tons of money for pediatric cancer, it was the big philanthropy of campus.

The fall of Joe Paterno and the scandal has been very personal to me. I'll never forget hearing on the radio that a former assistant coach had been accused. Then they said Sandusky. Then Mike McQueary who we always joked was my brother who is also a tall redhead Penn Stater. Here's the thing. Unlike Kate's die-hard fans I accepted that Joe Pa was culpable. I accepted that Penn State failed these kids. I did not blindly defend them at the expense of victims. That is why I am not a sheep. God bless the victims.

Reading KK's tweets today have me shaking my head. I'm not surprised that I can't understand what she's thinking....we think so differently that my mind simply doesn't work the way hers does.

All that is to ask if she really REALLY thinks if she pretends others haven't read her journal in her own words about her violent abuse of the toddlers, all the fuss will go away? Does she think her attorneys have stopped Robert's book from being re-released? She can't REALLY believe ''Let the world throw stones&criticize---I am NOT that person they paint me 2b.I'm a loving mom w 8 kids 2care 4!''? How is that possible? Does anyone have even a vague idea of what is going on in her mind?

Anonymous said...

Invisalign braces are for adults, and recently have been approved for teens.

But for children the age of the youngest Gosselins, the braces could be on & off quickly - depends on what the orthodontist is trying to accomplish in the current phase of treatment. They are too young to be in final phase of treatment, there is too much growing that needs to be accomplished before they have their adult mouth.

My oldest did go through a 3 phase treatment - first a retainer (to fix crossbite) and a lip bumper; then a palate expander; finally, 2 1/2 years of metal braces.

localyocul said... 118

Yes, I think it's Mike McQuery I was referring to....he was a big guy and told his dad after he saw Sandusky in the shower, right?
I don't know....I just have...I don't know if I'd call it sympathy....but the whole Joe Paterno thing never sat quite right with me. And I fear saying that because I fear I'll upset people. I can see if he'd not reported it.
And then subsequently learning how Second Mile donated to Tom Corbett and then he procured grants for them. Not saying it was quid pro quo.....but the cover-up went much higher than Penn State.

I'm sure this whole thing has been devastating to past and current students at Penn State.

I'm just not all that sure what it takes and how easy it is to expose these things, to be honest. That's why I get kinda upset when people write comments here making assumptions that Jon G. has done nothing...or did nothing in the past.

If a cover-up goes up really high....is it reasonable to have expected people farther down the ladder to have been able to blow the whistle and expose the whole debacle? Bring it to a screeching halt?

I'm not excusing Joe Paterno....I hope everyone realizes that. I'm just not 100% sure if he alone could have stopped it. Maybe he could have. I'm just not sure. I'm sure there's lots more of this story to still come out.

I don't think it would be contempt of court, but I'm pretty sure shatzy8 is thinking of what Robert said in his emails to Radar, correcting them for saying Jon gave him the material, and reminding them he took and passed a lie detector test about the material. He also said this:

''The other 90% of the material that I possess will not be published, ever, but you can be sure that if I'm falsely accused of anything and drug into court, or called a liar by Kate Gosselin or her lawyers, this information will come out then, including photographs.
My sources include former crew members who witnessed the abuse.''

It would involve a civil case and Kate could not win a claim that Robert lied if he can prove (which he says he can) that he is telling the truth.
The use of "contempt of court" did not apply.

Kirkland said...

Regarding the picnic picture....the kids are getting older and their looks are changing. The kids wouldn't be recognized if Kate would stop posting their picture. I wish the hell she'd stop.

Also, their shoes are off. Why? Is it because they make dirty the blanket. Can't she just let the kids be kids.

I really hate that woman.

My thoughts on the Sandusky mess. The one person, after Sandusky, who angers me the most is Mike McQuerry, a then 28 year old assistant for the Penn State football team (this was back in either '02 or'03). McQuerry was the one and only person that actually saw Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy. It was in a locker room shower. But what did McQuerry do? Did he get Sandusky off the boy? Nope. Did he get the boy out of harms way? Nope. Did he find out who the boy was and contact his parents, tell them what happened, and inform them he was going to go to the police and file a complaint? Nope. He hit a locker to let Sandusky know he was there and then walked out and called his daddy. HIS DADDY! He then went to Joe Paterno's house the next day and told him what happened. However, according to Paterno, McQuerry didn't tell him the graphic details. McQuerry says he did. We will never know. Now McQuerry says he was a victim because he was let go by Penn State and he has filed a lawsuit. Well boo, hoo, hoo. McQuerry is now married and has a child of his own. I wonder how he would feel if his child was being sexually molested, someone saw it and they just walked away.

Admin, I agree with you're post that Ms Kreider is simply too unintelligent to learn ways to market herself. I an also wondering like others, how much of her actions re her career is sure to Steve encouraging her, so he can continue to get a paycheck.
Njay, Judy, others dealing with elderly parents, you have my sympathy and prayers. Unless a person has gone thru this, it is difficult to explain just how much physical and mental work it is to care for an aging parent.
My dad died over a decade ago. I have been managing my mothers affairs since then, and watching her mental and physical health decline. Talking to others dealing with similar situations helps a lot!

Another tweet about Kate's driving today. And don't her cars have GPS? Why would she use her phone for directions?


Kate is a Witch said...

Doesn't matter. She still shouldn't be looking down at and typing on a phone.

She has an iphone and if she has the most recent update, it has turn by turn navigation powered by Tom Tom, which means you do NOT have to look at it, just listen. You can even set the settings to turn the voice up WAY high so you can be sure to hear it. I've been pretty pleased with it.

So yeah, she drives recklessly and dangerously. Glad I don't live near her.

The woman just doesn't give a sh*t.

But I'd love to see her get into another tussle on Twitter and show her ass. It's been a while. ;)

Thanks, I didn't see that episode. Her mom didn't give her a tissue? I am thinking the pageants are making her a little more refined and more likely to be embarrassed than other family members might be over something like that. I guess I fell asleep and missed it.

"I don't think it would be contempt of court, but I'm pretty sure shatzy8 is thinking of what Robert said in his emails to Radar, correcting them for saying Jon gave him the material, and reminding them he took and passed a lie detector test about the material."

I think that the tweet was sent TO shatzy...the tweet wasn't made by her. I thought maybe I was missing something with the contempt reference, but there was nothing I could see in the situation thus far that would indicate a contempt of court charge.

This will be their fourth, we were sitting around and throwing out baby names, even hubby was involved and we were laughing and teasing each other but, oddly enough, we came up with two names and the frosting on the cake is that, boy or girl, they will have my middle name as their middle name. I never especially liked my, gender neutral, middle name but it's such a lovely gesture on their part. So I'm going to be a Grandma of eight next year! Yay!

Milo really is nuts, isn't she? She made a comment (in reference to Kate's journal) that everyone makes mistakes, Kate is only human, she was a young woman, etc. etc. Child and animal abuse is just a MISTAKE? If Kate took a gun to a shopping mall and opened fire, Milo would accompany her to court and say, "But judge, everyone makes mistakes, she's only human," and then try to convince the judge to apologize to Kate because it was all his fault for wanting publicity.

I'm watching a LMN movie, "Hit and Run" and I keep forgetting to ask. Did Robert write anything in his book about Kate's alleged hit and run when she first became a "star?"

FYI said...

Apparently Jon and the twins were spotted today by 2 different people. They tweeted:

"Just eating some froyo with Jon, Cara and Maddie Gosselin"

"Jon Gosselin at yogo"

Yet, Kate, when asked why the twins weren't in the picture said that they were gathering leaves for a school project. Is it so difficult for her to admit that they were with their father? She still wants to give the implication that the kids don't see Jon.

Julianna said... 122 zzzzzzz
@shatzy8 @Kateplusmy8 she never will because then she will be up for contempt of court charges. Hoffman will release 90% proof
---------------------
OK....in the above tweet, somebody (named zzzzzz?) tweeted TO shatzy8 and to Kate G........and I'm assuming it's in response to a Kate fan saying something along the lines of indicating that Kate would prove R. Hoffman's book wrong....am I right so far?

And then this tweeter (zzzzzzz)...who is not a fan...is saying that will never happen because then Kate would be found in contempt of court because Robert will release his 90% proof.

Do I at LEAST have the twitter part right?

And then I'll add my two cents that this non-fan (zzzzzzz?) simply confused some terminology as in any future civil case, Kate can claim Robert is lying but if he can prove what he wrote....she cannot prove her case (libel, IIRC)

How much did I get right? :D

Are you talking to me? It would be helpful if you could use @ and the person's name, or the comment number. All I was asking was what action could bring a contempt of court charge because nothing that Kate did (that I'm aware of) would warrant such a charge. Robert didn't have to prove anything to me about child abuse or animal abuse. It's there in Kate's own words. He is the messenger (and a good one at that).

I get that there's an ebb & flow to the blog. And...Not to run this topic into the ground, but this was different. It's not that *people* disappeared. My entire post vanished --*poof* -- after a few people read it, and at least one person responded to my question.

I don't know if that's ever happened before, but I thought it was weird. No big deal, though; the comment itself wasn't worth the fuss and bother. :)

LOL!! Pretty much so! I think that the non-fan, aka zzzz, doesn't know the definition of contempt of court and just threw it out there for the sheeple to mull over.

She's not committing perjury if she's not in court and sworn in. Just making a statement on twitter or in the media and denying an allegation is not grounds for a contempt of court citation.

Heaven help you if your kids have ADHD, autism, etc. because, of course, those conditions are not real - it's a result of "lack of discipline".
**********************

Exact same thing here. ADHD isn't something they can confirm/see by looking so they assume it's just bad parenting (read: not enough discipline, SPANK! that child !!).

It got really old, fast. My support group saved my sanity and became some of my best friends to this day. Now I pay it forward with my dear neighbor who is going through the exact same thing with her child. She is a wonderful mother.

IMO, the finest thing we can do for other mothers is to forget ego and speak our truth. It gives them permission to do the same, eventually, and be really supported which in turn supports the children.

ADHD makes one lose ego and grow a very thick skin. The judgments can be awful.

From Kates tweet to Deanna and all the tweets talkin about her project: Kate must have run all involved raggit. From the book to what we saw on both shows, I certainly would not want to be filming or be the film crew, with Kate as boss. I bet those guys were glad when they were finished. I'm sure kate was very unorganized. Kate had always stated, when K8 was still on, she wanted to produce and direct and star. I wonder how much money she spend for this, and whose money it was? Crying poor now by Kate makes her a fraud. Makes Roberts book all the more credible. Maybe even wake up a few of the sheeple.

@Julianna~
Hahahaha!! That's exactly how I feel. I think I get the whole gist of how the person sorta misunderstood legal terminology and legal practice....but now I'm totally confused regarding which one was a fan and which one was a non-fan..... as soon as I saw this:

Kate is a twit said... 165
dee3-that "contempt of court" tweet was in reply to this tweet to Kate from a non-fan.

"K8 say the words "Robert Hoffman is lying" Nothing more nothing less~F'kn coward all baby abusers ar COWARDS!"

OK...so if the original comment was from a non-fan....so that would make the reply from zzzzzzz be from a fan....right? Or is zzzzzzz a non-fan? So an actual fan was referring to Robert having 90% proof?

So much of this twitter stuff comes off sounding to me like "nanny-nanny-boo-boo" and the gushing tweets from this Deanna and Kate sound like a bunch of Jr. high-school girls gushing in the school bathroom. Ugh.

Maybe I'm just tired...and too darn old....but even when rested I have a lot of difficulty understanding twitter. First....why does a person always tweet his or herself? Wouldn't Deanna Bell be the same as @Deannatweeting? And why do they use their twitter addresses when they want to use a person's name (in the third person) in the body of the message? And then the re-tweets....I'm just totally lost.

I keep trying though....I'm determined to try and learn the twitter language. I actually learned how to text last week....which shocked my sons. Now I finally understand what all those people have been doing with their thumbs constantly on their phones.

Sandi said...

The Shatzy tweet referring to contempt of court was in response to Shatzy asking Kate to deny all book allegations so Robert would reveal the other 90% he says is still not published.
Hope that makes sense, I did read the original tweet but do not know how to retrieve tweets.

I can make an attempt to address some of it but you've asked a whole lot of individual questions in a fairly long comment. It would take me a bit of time....but just for starters, where did you get the info that Jon hacked into Kate's computers? As I understand it, she threw them out in the trash and Robert just took them.

And how do you know what Jon did and did not do legally regarding his kids? How do you know he didn't try to do all he could?

And where did you get info that he didn't pay his chid support?

These sorts of accusations have been made over and over....and answered over and over here before.
