Facebook post - throwing things

[Deleted]

These 2 asshole predators have been arrested for molesting children. One of them was one they babysat.
It's horrible. I would never blame a mother for hiring someone to babysit her kid just like I wouldn't blame a mother for letting her kid spend time with a priest. There are assholes to blame. Not the parents. (Obv in some situations - parents are lazy and suck)

Anyway my friend posts about how disgusting these people are but then ....'I am lucky that I have always been afforded the luxury of having only family look after my kid. But if for some reason I couldn't have family look after her, I would have stayed the hell home'
Bunch of replies
'Thats why I stay home'
'Im a SAHM - can't trust anyone'

My reply
'These people are assholes. But let's not attack working parents'
I'm so peeved.

I'd be furious (& I'm a SAHM)!

Oh, and lest they forget...a large percentage of sexual molestations happen by a family member. Often the one you'd least expect.

Yeah family members are the most common predators. But hey be afraid of all the strangers in the world. That seems healthy.

It's like people don't think before they speak/post.

I'd be fucking LIVID. What a shit thing to say.

[mlt]

Yeah, I don't know why people feel so safe/superior with family watching their kids. I'd leave my kids with a complete stranger before I'd leave them alone with some of my creepy cousins.

[redheadbaker]

I despise victim blaming. It's not like these guys identified themselves as molesters before the parents left their children in their care!

People are such idiots. And btw when there is abuse it is usually a family member so...

Maybe later. But I already replied once. Don't want to be a weirdo.

the responders are asshats

There was a similar post in a fb group I'm in. Lots of "this is why I stay home with my kids!!!!" Responses. Good for you?

[gibbinator]

Yeah, family is never ever involved in child molestation...

So I replied 'not cool to call out working moms'

Her reply 'well I am a working mom too. But I think that if one parent can't stay home with their kid for the first 2/3 yrs of a kids life then you should just keep your legs together '

RAGE.
she tried to qualify with 'that's what I think for my family' but nope.
I wanted to reply 'I work because I need the benefits and my H works because most lawyers can't take 2-3 years off and go back to work' but why? Why do I need excuses to work? To trust my childcare provider?

And not one other person said anything. One person said 'family members can molest kids too. that's why I never let them out of my sight'

Whoa on the keeping your legs together comment. Unfriend if you can or hide if you can't.

Looks like it's 60% family friend/DCP, 30% family members. But, "keep your legs together" would be the nail in the coffin and I would unfriend. Because, y'know, all children happen because women are sluts who can't control themselves. What a fucking bitch.

[lilac05]

OMG! Unfriend...and not just on Facebook. The "you" and "your legs" makes it QUITE clear that she's not just talking about her family.

You work because that's what works for your family. No reasons/excuses are needed. You don't need someone who thinks like this in your life.
