She is a victim here just as her son is. None of us who have not been in her position know how we would react She also probably didn't ask for it to be posted on Reddit. It was probably meant to stay within the Cadets community as a drive and a force for action and change. But it reached the news and information got leaked because people wrere asking questions and now confidentiality is breached. Either the mother or the poster was likely ignorant to the fact that that much identifying information was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not saying you follow him or don't, but honestly I had no idea GH was still talking on FB) oh I don't. I haven't the last five years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This victim blaming or victim questioning feels a lot like the reactions to GH issues of the past: circling the wagons to protect the brand. Please stop it. Better to say nothing than to sling dirt around and make it worse. Finally a voice of reason on this God forsaken thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for clarifying, had only just recently gone through all the pages and came across that information. I do not use reddit, and have not seen the letter. I lived in Indiana for seven years, and could not remember the consent laws. Just found examples here though: https://www.ageofconsent.net/states/indiana. The claim as presented is quite serious, and obviously lacks consent if one party was asleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who knows the full account should just shut up while this person trashes the Cadets? My suggestion is to follow your own advice. You are not the mother. You are not the victim, nor the alleged attacker. You do not, no matter how knowledgeable you think you are, George, know the full story, intentions, emotions, etc being felt by all those involved. So let's stop victim blaming. PS, believe it or not, it is very possible to defend your beloved Cadets without throwing the other party under the bus. A simple "I believe you are mistaken for jumping to these conclusions about the Cadets" would suffice. But I guess that wouldn't give enough juicy drama to generate 32 pages of content Edited July 10, 2019 by Cappybara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
