Assessment
More and more we see stories of parents/guardians/authority figures taking advantage of their rights and using them in inappropriate and unacceptable ways. This week, I found a story about a man and his adult sons who are being charged with numerous counts of child sexual abuse. Seventy seven year old, Burrell E. Mohler Sr. is charged with independence of rape, sodomy and use of a child in a sexual performance among other charges. His four sons were also charged with rape.
As a nation, it seems we’ve come to, for lack of a better word, “expect” and/or “turn our heads” when such stories come about. This doesn’t make it right, but within the past few months, there have been an increase in stories, such as this one. Is this really what we’ve come to as a society? I feel as though the more this happens, the more we become immune to such crimes, but with that said, it’s still taboo and looked down upon.
