The Result Of Letting Your TV Raise Your Kids
If you're living in a cave and haven't heard this story, or you live in a state that doesn't report New England news, visit The Boston Herald.
I hope this doesn't suprise anyone. This is the 4th time this woman was attacked, and while the crime is horrific, I can't help but ask, did this mother have her head buried in the sand? Because I hope she wasn't so stupid she just let this relationship continue when she had been attacked before by this kid.
But my focus is the 16 year old daughter who helped plot her mother's murder. This girl is exactly what I've been ranting about when I criticize parents for letting "the Teletubbies raise their kids..."
When you don't take proactive involvement in your child's upbringing, this could often be the result. I don't care how many hours you work, and how over scheduled your life is. You know what? Cancel some activities. Maybe you don't need to be taking that night time basket-weaving course. Or just maybe it won't hurt the throw rug comittee at your church if you step down because you need to raise your kids. In fact, they better understand - family should come first in any church setting.
Point and case: bad things happen when you don't spend time with your kids. Anything from drug use to a murderous teen. May I suggest that this girl's plot against her mother may have spawned from hurt or neglect throughout her life rather than just the fact that she couldn't move in with "Prince Charming" - who by the way - typical to teenage girls who select a man from a group full of eligible bachelors - had all the personality of a handful of poker chips.

Educational Age Descrimination
Don't kid yourself. It exists and companies get away with it every day. Just because there are laws against it doesn't mean there are also no loop holes. There are, in fact, huge loop holes and the fact that government hasn't addressed this enormous problem sickens me.
A man in his 50s with a nice master's degree who's worth six figures a year simply isn't going to beat Mr. 20 Something who has a similar degree but will work for a fraction of the paycheck. It's age descrimination compounded with educational descrimination. And it's another example of how corporate America is f'ing up.
Mr. 20 Something will work twice as long as the older guy and maybe they can rob his paycheck over the long term. The baby boomers are getting screwed by a system run by younger CEOs who believe in cutting costs and reducing overhead by bashing the older generation with a shovel.
In the end, you have a high un-employment rate and the family man with no way to provide for his family who stands out on the road side with a sign that says, "Gentleman with a family will work for food."
This is wrong and it needs to stop. Now. And I personally condemn any company guilty of this. No matter what your reasons are, they are un-acceptable.

Episcopalians Approve Gay Minister
I'm sorry I can't just let this one fly. I'm very careful not to take on the Gay community because of their flamboyant nature and outspoken attitudes, but being a Penticoastal, this sucks the life out of me. There is not one Christian organization out there that can justify this kind of moral compromise. You can read the article at Yahoo! News.
Anyone who really knows their bible knows God condemns gay relations. It's in 1 Corinthians 6:9 "9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."
So where does the Episcopal church get off second guessing God? Hey, if you're gay and call yourself Christian - your thinking is majorly flawed. And you can't just take what you want from the bible. Now, I don't want to preach, but this makes Christianity just seem like another politically correct organization that makes compromises so everyone can fit in. Well, I hate to break the news to you, but God is not politically correct. In fact, in some cases it's safe to say politically correctness is straight out of the pits of hell because of some of the compromises that result in its very existance.
So call me a hypocrit for calling the overweight "fat", the handicapped "crippled", people with an appearance deficit "ugly" - but my refusing to lower myself to the standard of politically correctness also keeps me from making compromises like the one the Episcopal church did.

Are You Overweight? Sue "Big Food"!
Are we friggin' serious? I already think lawyers are filthy, scumbag, money hoarding pieces of garbage, and this certainly doesn't help their profile. Seriously, you know that tupperware phonebooth on wheels the Pope cruises around in? Well, Chrysler could make a killing if they made these commercially available because lawyers are going to need them.
What spineless piece of trash can honestly throw his or her common sense out the window and lay down a decent arguement against this simply being a lack of one's own ability to use a little mind power and not eat KFC three meals a day? Shoot. One meal a month is probably pushing it. And we all know this!
So why are people scrambling to get their lawsuit in for their weight problem or fat kid? Well, we can chalk it up to greed, my friends. We can also stop calling the last two generations "Generation X" and "Generation Y" and just lump them together as the "Raised By The Mass Media Generation".
This happens because since the 70's, mom and dad aren't home; and when they are home, they let the friggin' Tele-Tubbies raise their kids. This is un-acceptable.
But the first time I wrote this page, I totally missed something. Employers are at fault, as well. America is working longer and harder for less benefits. And I mean all around. Instead of an eight hour work day, we are putting in ten to twelve hours, and to top it off, we get lousy health care that most employers pay less than half of.
So overall, this is a self causing problem. Parents need to flush the remote control down the toilet, and raise their kids. Employers need to stop being so damn greedy and get back to valuing families. We are becoming mindless money hoarding zombies in this country. The countdown clock is activated and it's going to tick down to detonation.

Molly Bish Laid To Rest - 1983 - 2000
You know, there's tons of things making me angry today that I could rant about. But I was completely disarmed when I sat down at the computer this morning when I found items from the Molly Bish memorial service Sunday.
It yanked at my heart, and begged me to say something. And, what kind of person would I be if I did not fill my obligation as "the voice of those who cannot and will not speak,"? (Political Cataclysm).
God has emblazened the face of this young girl on my heart and I would be lying if I didn't admit that her face will haunt me until the day I die. I know so many kids in her age group and would be mortified if some spineless coward did anything to any of them. What happened to Molly is in-tolerable.
I read the button that was handed out and it nearly brought me to tears: "Found but forever missed." The only reason I am anywhere near this case at all is that WTAG is close to the case, and being an intern, I read every last word that comes in about Molly and her family.
We need to remember that we are responsible to defend our kids.
As such, I'm weilding a sniper rifle (figuratively speaking) with a 500 yard scope on it and I'm pointing it straight between the eyes of any demon who wants to hurt one of God's children.
I'm not sure what I will be called to do, or even if I will be called to action in this war against horrid people who rape and murder kids, but I am open to helping. One thing's for sure. We cannot stand by and let another Molly Bish endure what Molly herself endured.
So, today's blog, just a little remembrance for Molly. As George Bush would say, "Let's Roll." That's damn right.
This one's for you, Molly. -Vince

Insanity: Here's Something That Bugs Us All
We've all heard them. They draw an irritated groan and an instinctive switch of the dial. In the industry we call them: Commercials. Yes, there are the ones that make us chortle, chuckle and giggle. But then there are also the irritating, awful, "Why the ?@#$! did they even record this damned thing?" commercials.
Now, it wouldn't be me unless I bashed a couple of these with a shovel, so here goes. Let's start with Ernie Bach Junior. "Sorry, you have bad credit... Sorry you have a reposession," etc. etc. This commercial rubs me the wrong way. First of all. If I have bad credit, I don't need some irritating salesman (who I don't trust to begin with, the lying sack of s), reminding me all the ways my credit sucks. Make your point. "You need a car, I can get you approved. Offer good from A to B." Then shut up, and get off my screen. Channel 7 needs to stop airing this before we all destroy our TVs with the nearest chair.
The next one is a radio ad for "Carl's Diner" in Worcester set to the music of "Mission Impossible" with some guy who is NOT a singer, belting out very poor lyrics which paint the picture of what Carl's Diner serves. "Eggs and ham, toast and Jam..." blah blah blah. This song was irritating the FIRST time I heard it. And every Worcester affiliate airs it. So now, I'm switching to Boston stations to escape this moronic drabble.
The last one is the notorious McKinnon's Meat Market ad that airs primarialy on weekends on WBZ in Boston. This commercial is another guaranteed channel changer. A bunch of guys chant every damn item McKinnon's offers at their butcher shop. Ok. It's a butcher shop. I think I can figure out the rest.
Point of fact: If your commercial irritates me; 1. I won't use your product just to spite you. 2. I will shut you off which is the opposite of what you want.
Stations who air these awful ads have an instant loss of listenership and should probably heavily advise against the client airing this for the above reasons. It simply brings no benefits.
So how can I sum this whole thing up? Insanity. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.

Kansas Woman A Piece Of Garbage For Playing Cruel Joke Posing As Missing Daughter
Where these people come from and who they think they are I will never know. But if you read The Herald's Article that reveals that Donna Walker was committing a hoax, you realize there are some real wastes of life out there.
Who the heck are these people? The man that has been on the news, filled with a new sense of hope that his daughter who was abducted at age 8 may be alive, was devestated on last nights newcast. He fell apart on the air, overcome by grief.
Man, someone should beat this woman with a shovel. Maybe it will knock some sense into her. And if this was just another cruel joke for her, well, then upgrade your weapon to a backhoe.
I have no use and zero tolerance for people who would commit such a foul act. And if any of you out there actually think this is funny, God have mercy on you - because I wouldn't.
The most time Donna Walker will see is 3 years. Man. Give her life! Make this digusting pile of refuse stay in prison. There are murderers who have long since reformed I would let out before this piece of trash.
This disgusts me.

U.S. Security Experts Asleep At The Wheel
Despite all the new threats coming from U.S. Intelligence, Air Marshals are being pulled from key flights as of August. The question is why?
My guess is that common sense has been thrown out with the baby and the bathwater. We make all this fuss about needing to be security consciences, and yet we do dumb things like this. Shoot. Why don't we just invite al-Quada over and hand them the keys to the ignition of every jumbo jet at Logan?
This is typical of the U.S. - scare the crap out of everyone with "intelligence", but don't raise the terror threat level or beef up security. In fact, just lower security all around. While were at it, let's start selling Nike's with compartments for shoe bombs.
I don't care if the reasoning is simply a nudge and a wink to al-Quada that says, "Hey, we know what's up." It terrorizes people in this country when it's done. Rather than saving a few bucks, just take the precautions and make it difficult over all to hi-jack anything to begin with.

Tuesday Special Double Edition!!!
Bob Hope
I wanted to take this brief moment to salute one of America's greatest entertianers: Bob Hope. We all have heard the stories for the past 2 days about how he started in Vaudeville, had his own radio and television show, and how he entertained the troops.
Instead, I would like to call on some of those classic radio fanatics to help release, not just the greatest hits from his radio era, but everything so we can all share in the memories.
Thanks.
The regular column follows below.

Terrible, Awful Video Games Are The Spawn Of Satan
Friday afternoon I spent 4 hours playing Grand Theft Auto Vice City. I think I understand why parents are losing their minds over this game by Rock Star. Maybe it's because it's the video game equilivent of buying an NC-17 Movie for your 10-year-old.
Seriously, would you go out and buy a copy of "Bloodfest 12: Obliviated Bodies - by Riot Act Pictures" for your kid? Not likely. But there are "parents groups" who have a big problem with this game. Hmm. Let's use a little logic here:
See, GTA 3: Vice City wasn't designed for kids. It's clearly designed for stressed out adults who would never act out violence in the real world, but are seeking that stress release they need after battling it out with stupid drivers on Amierca's Highways, bosses with ego problems, and way too long office hours. That, or the game is just designed to be a bloodfest and your typical shoot-em-up theme, reminicent of N.A.R.C. But N.A.R.C. was ok, because THAT game was a bunch of cops slaughtering drug dealers.
Video games are entertainment. Nothing more. And, as with anything, if hi-jacking someone's IROC, running down pedestrians and taking sniper shots from a 3 story building for hours on end is going to cause you to fly over the edge, you should probably steer clear.
Experts argue that such suggestive pursuasion is not possible. It's like saying Van Halen's "Jump" is going to prompt you to commit suicide. Although video game graphics are much more suggestive, I doubt Mr. Suburbanite is going to weild a chainsaw in the name of vengeance just because he owns GTA: Vice City. In fact, I think the opposite would be true. Due to the satisfying graphics of people being blown in two, it should alleviate some of that stress.
And, if you have to find some justification for destroying people and blowing things up, just enter the cheat code for the Tank or hi-jack a police car and go into vigalante mode. Point and case: Just in enjoy the game. It's only fantasy.

The Nationwide Media Frenzy That IS Kobe Bryant
Sure it's easy for us all to point our fingers at the alleged victim and yell, "Gold Digger!" And, truth be known, she may very well be. When it comes to a high profile celebrity, you have to question the validity of the claim in all cases. Many of these women are modern day Jezebels. Lure someone into a pit of sexual deviancy, then afterwards, break out the onion, cry like a baby, and cry wolf.
Except one has to ask the question, "What if she was raped?"
Now fans of basketball, and more importantly, Kobe Bryant, say Kobe's not capable of such a seditious act. Further, this girl is just another money seeking foul thing who wants an easy buck.
The real problem are a few idiots who don't get what justice is all about. One: Tom Lychis. 2: A web site called "Binary Report."
Lychis is a moran to start with. He is a shock jock somewhere on the west coast who teaches you a "fool proof method for gettng laid", so his motivations are already bad. Tom went on the air and told everyone the girls name. Following the media rule of thumb, I won't reveal her name, although I do know who she is, and further, her phone number, email, and where she lives.
The second zilch is a site called "Binary Report". This site appears to be set up with the sole purpose of telling you what a tramp Kobe's accuser is.
Look, in this case especially, it is absolutely necessary to let justice do it's work. Some will argue that Kobe can't get a fair trial because of his popularity. Maybe so, but if there is no proof to this accusation, and it is her word against his, the case will be tough to prove.
My opinion? Kobe f'ed up, big time. He comitted adultry, and got caught. If this girl is doing this to pocket some coin, well, then yes, she's a gold digging godless daughter of Jezebel who in the end will face final judgement with a court that doesn't cut plea bargains.

Cloning: What The Heck Are We Doing?
Dolly. The Jiffy Pop DNA Sheep. Cloning is the latest world wide hot-button that just won't go away. And as usual with Science, we are forging ahead without answering many questions. Such as, "If we do succeed in making a super-human clone, what will happen if he tear asses around the planet killing the rest of us?"
There is, of course, another side to this. Some would argue that since the clone is man made, it doesn't have a soul as God himself plays a roll in human creation. Those who are proponents of the theory of evolution, which has less fact around it than the evidence supporting the Shroud of Tourin was in fact what Jesus Chirst was wrapped in, will say God doesn't play a part in it.
Look, if your Muslim, Jewish, Wiccan, Buddahist, Hindu, etc. etc., you believe a God somehow has his hand in human life. And that means greater than half the planet believes in some sort of deity. Therefore, why the heck ARE we messing around with a devinely created plan?
This is typical of Science, forge ahead, forget the re-precussions. In the end, you'll probably find, do to lack of a soul, not one clone will survive. The soul is pretty much the life force behind your entire body. Anyone who worships a God or Goddess will tell you that.

Outreach From Rock Band Viewed as "Blood Money"
I remember it well. The "Station" nightclub fire. I was in Rhode Island the night of the fire - at a different club - and naturally, everyone thought I had been at the Station.
I was rocked by the news, however. Great White is considered a Hair Band, or as I would say, from the Classic Metal genre that ruled the 1980's, so it got my attention. Jack Russell appeared on the news, shaken, stirred, and devestated by what had happened.
And of course, everyone started pointing fingers. Families of people killed in the fire all started opening their wallets looking to collect from someone and the first fingers were pointed at the club and the band. How dumb were these people. "We're gonna get every dime you got, pal." WAIT.
Great White's time in the spotlight was somewhere in the late 1980's, and so was their time of monatary prosperity. So the typical "it hurts make it feel better with a big wad of cash" claim faded over the months. Charges may still be brought on the band if it is determined they were largely at fault for the pyro-technics display being setup without permission.
So now the band wants to do a tour and raise money for "The Station Family Fund", which is expected to bring in $5000.00 to $15,000.00 a week for the cause and this angry suburbanite, while tearing her hair out at the roots exlaimed, "It's the most horrible thing I've heard. There's no way we're going to accept any money from Great White. It's blood money. They caused the deaths of all these people."
Let me get this straight, Jack Russel is trying to atone any guilt and fault he may have by touring and donating all the proceeds and all this un-forgiving wench can do is badmouth his efforts?! This woman should crawl into a hole and stay there. There is no use for un-forgiving people in this country when someone offers both an apology and an effort to correct the situation. What a disgusting, vile human being this woman is. The people who died in the fire would accept both expressions and would want to see the band come out ok on the other side, or have you forgotten that? There is the chance fire will break out in any over crowded club and people will die, it's a chance you take going out. Yes, these were un-usual circumstances, but the risk is always the same.
Get over yourself you arrogant woman.
By the way, before any of you half reading idiots get all upset over my writing, swallow this: I'm not saying this wasn't an awful and totally avoidable incident set off by a bunch of careless people. But there is also no room for un-forgiveness here. Remember, the band lost someone as well.

Vince To Beacon Hill: Ehh. Sorry, MCAS Ain't Workin'
So this article pops up in the Boston Herald, and it shows how bloody frustrated most of the kids are who failed MCAS. More than half aren't checking in for a retake.
And no wonder. The test alleged to weed out stupid teachers instead might be taking a rather harsh effect on the people it intends to help. I wonder if the 8% who fail have learning disabilities?
A written test isn't crafted for a non-academic learner, and they do exist, by the way. It's not a copout.
I can't explain what happened and why we need this joke of a test anyway, but I think it happened somewhere between the 1950's and the 1990's when we started thinking a four-year degree was ALL that mattered when selecting teachers. Now we have a handful of good teachers and a trashbag full of really awful people who know how to pass a college final.
Now, it is possible to hire compassionate, loving teachers. My friend Rebecca is one. But for the most part, school officials are more impressed with credentials, not compassion. "Wow, a master's from Yale. Impressive." Is more than likely uttered more than, "This woman worked for four years with this kid to make sure he passed Math."
So MCAS doesn't work. And the more enligtened bunch of us have known there were holes in this test bigger than some of the craters on the moon. Beacon Hill doesn't seem to get that some things can't be evaluated in a written test. To this day I can't pass a written exam on anything. And if I can't, there must be others effected the same way.

RIAA Brings In 1000 "Criminals"
On Friday the lobby group that works on behalf of the large, mostly foreign-owned, music conglomerates that own the music copyrights and distribution channels confirmed that it was serving subpoenas at the rate of 75 a day on US citizens for the crime of sharing the music they love. See this website for the whole article.
Oh, brother. What a joke of an organization the RIAA is. But the news is not all bad. Now Kazza and Grokster are working on "Cloaking Devices". So while "he RIAA is beside itself with glee: and boasted that a thousand music-lovers had already been busted," file sharing is about to strike back, giving the RIAA the punk-stick.
And they deserve it. If a congressman seeking re-election gets up and prosecutes 1000 voters who said they didn't support his views on a single issue, he may lose 1000 people who would have voted for him anyway. So that's 1000 less votes he will receive. Likewise, that is 1000 less CDs the music industry will sell in the future for multiple reasons. 1.)The people are more than likely disgusted with this seedy organization. 2.)They'll be broke if the RIAA wins.
And it is ridiculous to think that KaZaa users don't buy a single album. Most use file sharing to determine whether a CD is worth buying to begin with. Due to "cheaters", a group of file sharers who either run low bandwidth, carry small libraries, or cut downloads, it is nearly impossible in most cases to download entire albums.
Personally, I have used file sharing to download songs by artists who don't get played in the U.S. (because of the RIAA who control MOST radio media), and later purchased the album.
In the end, the music fan will win. KaZaa will beat the RIAA and we'll be back at square one.

Once Again, The Evil File Sharer Focus Of Nation-Wide Man Hunt
Oh, brother. Here we go again. http://www.msnbc.com/news/940397.asp - Yep, Congress is managing to alienate thousands of registered voters by trying to incriminate them for file sharing. Oh this helps you get re-elected, piss the music fan off.
Once again, RIAA - the most evil organization on the planet (second only to Al-Queda) is pulling marianette strings in the senate and trying to make mp3 lovers look like the next Jeffery Dahlmer. Now I realize not every senator is corrupt, but, honestly, where do you think this comes from?
This makes music buyers more and more bitter and guarantees the major labels with LOSE this battle. And I weep for a nation that makes file sharing the next "Prohibition". Give me a break.
If congress wants to nail someone, go after the greedy, corrupt, and disgusting American Record labels and put all the criminals in those organizations behind bars.

Beacon Hill: Let's Get Junk Food Out Of Schools! But, Eh, Keep Sending 'Em Government Peanut Butter.
Ok, this has become a thorn in my side. Let's get junk food out of schools. Hmm. Does that mean we are effectively closing cafeterias? The answer is no. The heavily processed cafeteria food loaded with those evil trans fatty acids will still be there. Most kids I know are smart enough not to eat this garbage. Now, if you're a hair net donning cafeteria employee, relax. I know it's nothing you've done. The food is governent supplied. And the last time I checked "Canned Pork" was not at the top of the food pyramid.
Mass produced cafeteria food makes members of goverment agencies trying to get people in our nation to eat more healthy by informing them of the trans fat content in their box of pork rinds look arrogant when the food they've been supplying our kids since the 50's remains unchanged. When it is possible to order a few healthy items from Wendy's that are significantly healthier than the meatloaf brick your kids are eating at the school, well, there's a problem.
So why are people on this quest to rid the nation of fat people by telling us about trans-fat when the food we serve our kids we wouldn't hand out to pets!
It's great we want to lose the twinkie machine from the school. But when does it become Uncle Sam's right to do this? Instead, schools should tell venders: "Nix the coke machine and the junk food. Put in a nice Veryfine machine and healtheir snacking foods." You're nuts if you think kids won't use it.

High Speed Car Chases
You know those really cool cop chase tv shows? You know, where many of the idiot criminals end their life in a ball of flames much to the amusement of the viewer at home? Well, one happened to pass through my town of Lancaster yesterday. Evidently, this clown threatened to kill his pregnant wife, and, when he was turned in, ran like a punk. Hmm. Big suprise. A man who threatened to kill his pregnant wife is a wuss.
So the cops finally nailed him in the neighboring town of Leominster where he maticulously rested his car (more like buried it) in someone's brick based house. He had worn his front right tire down to the rim a while back and had run at least through all of Clinton and Lancaster on it.
This seems to be a growing trend in our country. Hot headed, spineless losers who sell drugs, steal cars for joyrides, and threaten to kill people, run when the cops come looking for them. And nine times out of 10, they get caught.
The cops must have incredible restraint, because, truth be told, if you just made me chase you through 5 towns, when I finally get you, I'm going to want to cave in your skull with a shovel. Especially with all the havoc you wrecked.
Major hats off need to be given to police for keeping their cool. I think if most of us were in a chase and toting a nine milimeter, well, once we caught the loser, we'd shoot first, ask questions later.

TUESDAY DOUBLE EDITION!!!
Once Again, Politicians Try To Prove They Are In Control, Not Voters
Beacon Hill lawmakers substantially weakened the new English immersion law before it even took effect - prompting Gov. Mitt Romney and the law's backers to howl yesterday, that politicians are once again trampling the voters' will.
Are we suprised? Seriously. Why is it most politicians have a reputatation as being money hoarding, back slapping, dirt-bags? Well, um, - er - because they are!!!
Hey stupid, the people voted in favor of English immersion in a landslide vote. Your over riding it will not help your lazy ass get back into office. How dumb are you people over on Beacon Hill? Do you really think we voted you into offce to just overturn all of our votes? That's a good way to no get re-elected, my friend.
But what do you expect from a bunch of underhanded, seedy idiots who plague our TV screens every 2 years (the 4 and 4 that intersect with each other for governor and president)?
This is getting so old. We're nuts if we let this slide.

Media May Be Causing Rise In Child Abductions / Rapes
Oh sure. We can blame all the NAMBLA like organizations, but did you ever consider that maybe the media might be contributing to the cause? Think about it. What didn't you know about either Molly Bish's or Elizabeth Smart's abduction? You knew when and where both were abducted, how the abducter did it, and how exactly he did it.
Why? News coverage. Panels and panels of experts detailing every inch of the event - and for what? A ratings pop, of course. If the news media gives a crap about kids and what happens, they would simply state the name, post a picture and activate "Amber Alert."
Instead, we could all probably all orchestrate our own abduction if we paid attention.
Mr. Creepy isn't necessarily Mr. Insane. It doesn't always work that way. First of all, often on internet cases, a 40 something man will "befriend" a 13 year old girl. Once he gains her trust through a series of online meetings , they meet in person. Say, at a mall or something. After a few times of this, he may suggest he help the already confused young teenage girl who can't seem to approach adulthood fast enough that he "help her into womanhood." Naturally, this means she have sex for the first time. And who better than an older man who knows how to "get her through it."
These men study news stories about cops carousing the internet as 14 year old girls, and sadly, many of them know how to weed out a cop. The media doesn't help with all the information about child abduction cases it gives out. And it's misleading to think that all cases are abductions. Some are "consensual" situations where the child actually is lead to believe this is a good thing for them and agrees to it. A child may be statutorily raped for years and never abducted.
