If it facilitates getting a head shot on the guy then I vote YES. Very appropriate.

Yes, because we are going to all play a game of pin the pickaxe on the pederast.

At a family Christmas party, my husband's best friend briefly fondled our young daughter. When confronted, he apologized and admitted he was drunk and it was wrong. In lieu of criminal charges, he agreed to seek therapy.

What a bunch of f*cking morons. He didn't accidentally kiss your younger sister, he molested your kid. How do you even consider talking to him, let alone inviting him into your house again? As far as I'm concerned, I'm the only one who's allowed to molest my children.

Sounds appropriate to me, of course, I am assuming he is going to be the Pinata...

If he's the only clown in the yellow pages, you don't have much choice.

If you really hate your kid, I think it's fine.

She's got a point. The issue is really not so much the molesting best friend, but rather that the father seems to have easily blown off the incident in question. I understand that they've been friends for a long time, but still, if the friend groping his daughter doesn't count as a bridge burner, then his priorities are severly farked. Doesn't even sound like the guy bothered to ask the daughter if she felt safe with this guy back in the house. From her perspective, it would appear as if her father is taking his side over her own.

Someone actually had to ask this question?

It depends on the size of your trailer.

Child molester? It said he briefly fondled her daughter. How do we know she's not a 17 year old hottie.

Depends on what sort of party.

In my state and in many others, it's a crime to not report child abuse. And shiat like this is why.

Whats she mad about? I brought potato salad.
 
2007-03-29 12:16:07 PM
By "young daughter" she meant 19.

Have you seen what kids wear these days? That kid was so asking for it.

Meh. Just ask the state that allowed the 40-yr-old who raped a teenage girl to get full custody of the child that resulted from the rape. She's allowed to visit the kid, so long as she never tells him the circumstances of his conception -- it's in the custody agreement.

/yes it really happened
//to a friend of a friend
///kid is 13 now

subby is mistaken... Slate isn't "tackling" anything. It's a letter to Slate's advice column.

Nice try, though. Missed it by that much.

NikolaiFarkoff:If he's the only clown in the yellow pages, you don't have much choice.

10 out of 10, even from the East German.

I'm not a father (and I'm not getting a kick out of these replies) but I can't imagine too many fathers I know just taking it in stride if someone touched their daughter.

Either there's a LOT to this story we're not getting, or the dad in question still meets his best friend three lunch-hours per week to play "snake in the bag," "prisoner and the evil guard," "Pirate and the Cabin Boy," and, of course, "Hungry, Hungry Hippos" because that game is just fun.
 
2007-03-29 12:21:33 PM
I don't see why not? The way the father acts, he's probably been molesting her for years.
 
2007-03-29 12:21:33 PM
If you think it is a good idea to let the guy who molested your daughter hang out with you turn to page 14...

It's ALWAYS to a friend of a friend.

How many times do I need to apologize to that woman before she drops the issue? I only got to 2nd base anyway. Jeez.
 
2007-03-29 12:22:19 PM
Yes. Yes, it certainly is. I'd invite him right on in.

that hoe was asking for it. Strutting her stuff around in those SpongeBob Squarepants Training Diapers. Slut.

When I was 17, my aunt drunkenly grabbed my ass at a christmas party. I dismissed it as an alcohol-induced mistake and have never held it against her, or even said anything about it.

But then again, I'm the kind of guy who hates drama and lets mistakes go. I suppose the Righteous Anger crowd can't afford to let go of shiat, since there aren't enough real reasons to be pissed all the time. It's not a drunk dude grabbing a 19-year-old's boobs, or a drunk woman grabbing a 17-year-old's ass, it's child molestation and must be punished!

These hysterical days 'molesting' could mean just about anything.

LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD...SHHH: By "young daughter" she meant 19.

That's what I was wondering. How old was the "Young Daughter"? My response would depend on the answer. I've known mothers refer to their "Young Daughters" who are 15 or 16. If that was the case, then being drunk and doing something stupid may be a partially valid excuse. Also, If you re-read the letter with the idea that the daughter is 15 or so, it's possible that it wasn't all one-sided.

Of course, if "Young Daughter" means 6 or 7..... the very hosts of heaven and hell couldn't keep me from tearing him limb from limb. The father should be shot for even considering letting him back.

El_Dan... was she hot?

Not that, you know, I'm into that sort of thing. But... was she?
 
2007-03-29 12:28:57 PM
Well, he did apologize.
 
2007-03-29 12:29:35 PM
I bet this was a young couple who had a daughter young and, like her parents, she sexually matured at what some consider an early age. She was horny and curious, and daddy's friend, who was even a few years younger than daddy, was totally super cute!

/well, no I don't, but without more of a background story this was one scenario I speculated

Weren't we taught to turn the other cheek in these kinds of situations?

Some people seem to never get over things. It's in the past, yesterdays news, water under the bridge. Besides, I bet the husbands friend is great to go out drinking with.

From what I heard from an ex-gf, this happens all the time in the country. She told me 3 of her friends were molested by uncles growing up and in no case did the parents ever pursue charges after finding out. This was after I found a criminal database for GA and asked her why all the offenders from her county were in for incest.
 
2007-03-29 12:37:15 PM
Sure it's appropriate, don't be ridiculous.

Of course, I am assuming you'll be serving Amontillado during the party, and the evening will end with someone screaming something like, "For the love of god, Montressor!"

Does the fact that I burst out laughing after reading that make me a bad person?

yeah, but what if he was throwing a child molester party?

thelordofcheese

I saw a movie like that once. The dad's friend was Peter North.


I once caught my aunt(50+ years old) hiding in the shower at my grandmother's while i was using the toilet two feet away. I was 15 years old at the time. This was 11 years ago and this is the first time I ever mentioned it. She has always made weird comments to me about how much I have grown up and if she was "20 years younger".

/Christmas time is always kind of weird for me, mostly just at family functions.

If banging teenagers is criminalized, then only criminals will bang teenagers.

Kome wins, unless You're the jerk... jerk had actually intended that, in which case, he wins. Either way, it's bloody brilliant.

I'm more concerned with the father basically siding with his friend over his own daughter. That ain't right.
