To quote from the 1994 movie, "My Life in Pink"... "people are (crap)". In fact an accurate statement about all bullies in our lives. This could be all people whoever done us wrong. It is just how one person takes the abuse that they would lash out. In the Jake Nesbitt case in 1926, the man confessed that his wife made him feel bad, which in the 1920's, when woman mostly were not a large part of the labor force as they are in these times, is a fatal stab at the man's maledom. His pride hurt, he proceded to kill her, burn the evidence that morning and go to work like he had nothing to do with it. I wondered if the cops sifted the fireplace for evidence of a recent blaze in the fireplace. I wonder what forensics these day do to find tell-tale signs in the bathtub, the plumming the floors, the sinks as well as the fireplace to figure out if what was said weeks later was true. The private eye hired by the company they worked for was indeed lucky. What if a similar crime today find guilt or innocence.
To think Nesbitt was even not allowed to die in prison of old age, but in freedom in an ordinary traffic crash in his early fifties with second wife and maybe a kid or two surviving his death! Those were simple time where good behavior said something. Not in today's world where one little sin and your marked for life, even if that sin was as simple as having sex with their best friend.
That friend's parents might have felt good to allow the other kid to be destroyed, even though if the prosecutor had been even more of an ass, he would have charged both boys with sexually abusing the other. No one has the right to charge kids with sex crimes ever if it is among other kids, though to support that makes people look at you strangely. It is not that we want to do that to them too. We just want a wedge removed that can be used for evil designs by any adult who cannot stand their offspring screwing their best friend in a friendly way. Parents should accept that even multiple acts of kissing, holding hands, hugging and sex will not turn their kid into a homosexual or lesbian. They may end up loving girls, alas in a better way now that they learned to be tender to their mate. Whoever said boys should not hug and kiss and hold each other. Our bodies are programmed to respond to positive stimuli.
But we allow people like Angela Corey and John Bongivengo and Tom Corbett to behave like kids are property of the state and their parents. I hate to tell you this. Kids are not property as much as we adults are not property. We should not sell our kid and not get jailed? We also should not enslave another person and force them to plow our fields or do housework without attracting the feds or the state? Why does kids have to be treated like their mere chattel by us and by the state? We thought as a free country, an example for the whole world, we were beyond all that. Now we are the laughingstock of the world. with the exception of Britain, who also feel that way about sex like us. Though I have to see how many boys and girls are marked for life because they had sex with another kid and the parents went bonkers because of that.
Now who is the real abuser? Certainly in these above cases it is the adults who mentally and physically abused the kids in these cases. Forcing a kid on a register for life is the mental abuse and encourages future abuse of all kinds down the road. It screams out, "Oh boy! Let's make it easy for the named and shamed to become a real crook as an adult. Then we will feel justified we did that bad thing to him to put him in this manner." What the fick is going on around this land? As that Russian-American comedian would say, "Nice country, they still mark you as enemy of the state, just like the Soviets do."
I learned that every facet of history has a person or a people to hate to the point of outright warfare. Now that gays are out, what have we to trun against? Our own kids is now the answer to that question. Our kids are always treated like blacks were treated until recently. Kids are all colors and creeds, so hatred knows no ethnic background or sexual orientation.
LGBT's are still queasy around kids saying they are like them for they were for years equated with pedophiles in the hatred of the straights against their movement. So after people like Anita Baker objected to them, they allowed teens to be thrown under the bus of hatred. Even today, gay adults still do not accept kids seriously as one of them even though the feeling that made them what they are today originated before they were even born! So with that evidence, denying kids from their destiny is useless. They should not be afraid and stand up to a homophobic adult persecuting two boys for their feeling for each other. These two cases in Ohio were just a start. More kids are prosecuted for homosexual conduct with their mates than straight friends. There are more straights than gays in this world, but who gets the most ink? It is surely not most of the boys and girls I knew were screwing each other when parents are out on the town. It is the tow boys who seriously love each other that one parent or both of one child goes bonkers on that get busted over the boy and girl making out on the couch during the world series. Hypocrites all of those parents, who act before they think. One wonders if said act would set the real victim (the kid prosecuted to later think murderous thoughts if the wrong things happen to him, like getting raped in juvenile prison).
It makes me think this country is going downhill because we treat our next generation badly. We reap what we sow when they later screw us with worse things, like global war or the end of the world. We must stop beating up our kids. We must stop treating them as adults. We must stop persecuting them for having sex with other kids. We must start redefining childhood as well. We must make exceptions to stop overzealous prosecutors before that hurt any kid or any adult for anything. One way to start is treat kids fairly. Not prosecutor the kids for their sexual behavior. What is it with people and birth control? Fifty years and we still squabble over the Pill. Why?
