This thing called the internet

[MyAngels]

What occurred on this video was abuse-there is no question in my mind about that.

With that being said, I still have to side with BlackCat and JenNJ on this. This girl had planned all along to use this video as leverage. This was blackmail at its finest.

I am not trying to make the dad the victim here, just trying to point out that this girl is sneaky deaky.

I agree with all three of you on this.

There seems to be a cycle at work here - the girl was raised by the father, after all. Hopefully they can all get the help they need to break the cycle of abuse and dishonesty in this family so that it does not continue into the next generation.

I am doing this unregistered as I am a regular on the board.

I am the mother of an adult sociopathic son. I have spent 30 years trying to love someone who doesn't feel anything at all.

This whole story has me frustrated. The father is an abusive SOB who deserves no respect at all from anyone.

That said...the daughter disturbs me even more. I see signs in her of sociopathic behavior. She comes across as manipulative and cold. Her emotion seems forced. That's because sociopaths don't have true emotions like we do...they mimic. They can come across as charismatic and intelligent. My husband and I have watched the news reports and we have just looked at each other and nodded because we see our son when we see her.

This girl recorded her father abusing her (nobody can argue that he did, in fact abuse her) But she did not record it to protect herself from abuse. She did not record it to show to authorities and STOP the abuse. She recorded it, so she could use it as blackmail at a later date. This is a sociopath at their finest.

Our son has stolen and cheated and manipulated his way through life. Some people think he is the most wonderful young man on the planet...because he wants them to see that. Others lives have been destroyed by him and he couldn't care less. Doctors have told us to stay as far away from him as possible. To have a sociopath in your life is living hell.

I have no doubts that if the money had kept coming, the video would have stayed hidden.

The father is scum. But his daughter is dangerous.

I have personal experience with sociopaths as well. You just may be right. They do make other peoples lives a living hell.

(((hugs))) to you. I can feel your pain and sympathize with you immensely.

The bolded part above is what I had trouble digesting. It just didn't sit right. You put into words what I was beating around the bush about.

Or: she recorded it because she feared one day she would be beaten to death and wanted proof of what he was capable of doing.

She wanted PROOF. Even WITH proof... one hundred percent proof... it's not enough now. You think that it would have been enough then?

It's always the same. Someone gets raped and the first question is "what were you wearing?"

Why she recorded it... when she released it... why she released it....

None of that speaks to that seven minutes of an UNDENIABLE savage beating.

I'm waiting for the day when our society can say "he beat her"... with no "buts" afterwards.

He deserves what he gets.

I agree the father is scum. He's an abuser.

BUT (yes, there it is!) the daughter is not what she appears to be.

She IS the victim of physical abuse. Nobody can deny that.

But she has chosen to manipulate and steer the situation to her advantage which is not the actions of a victim. She is in charge. I can't help but get the feeling from watching her that she in enjoying every second of the attention. I have spent 30 years watching the exact same facial expressions on my own son.

Sociopaths thrive on attention. They LOVE to be a victim and have people fawn over them. My son would tell people stories about how his friend died in his arms. He would cry and be completely believable. I would get so angry as innocent, well-meaning people would tell me what a terrible time my son had etc.etc. I used to change the subject because telling them it was all a pack of lies would have opened a whole can of worms.

My husband never laid a hand on our son, but I know for a fact that was what my son WANTED on more than one occasion. And I'll be honest and say that there are times it was all I could do not to fly at him with my fists pumping in rage. He wanted something to hold over us. He wanted to be in charge. We had to try hard not to give it to him.

Sociopaths will deliberately put themselves in dangerous situations because it's one way to "feel". Bad situations are just as exciting as good ones and if they can use the situation to forward themselves, then so be it.

The judge is destroyed. AND SO HE SHOULD BE. But the daughter is one to watch very carefully.

Sociopaths cannot be helped. Therapy does more harm than good. Several therapists told us they could do nothing for our son and that we needed to distance ourselves from him for our own sanity. Do you have any idea how hard that is for a mother to hear? He is my first born.

All therapy does is teach them more about human vunerability (sp) and how to manipulate it further.

Of course I am only seeing what the media lets me see on TV. But when I see her and her body language and her facial expressions....I see my own son staring back at me and quite frankly, she creeps me out.
