Reply #15: The poor girls burying their notes in jars

[Generic Other]

What a terrible testament to the unspeakable shame, the awful emotional abuse they endured at the hands of adults they should have been able to trust all preserved in notes in Mason jars. The image of the poor kids doing this after suffering abuse at the hands of their own male family members is hard to erase from my mind. It sounds like even the mothers were ineffectual in stopping the abuse. Horrible. The women should have grabbed their kids and run the moment they got wind of the situation! The perpetrators deserve no less than life behind bars.

Hard to believe that CPS at the very least wasn't more involved. One wonders about school teachers also. The poor kids obviously had no adults in their lives they trusted enough to talk to.

What an awful story. Certainly a reminder that preaching about morality and living a moral life are two vastly different things.
