LGBT News Woman arrested for beating son after catching him having sex with another male

Personally, I don't think it is right for the media to publicize that much information. They basically told us exactly what the woman's son did, sexually, and with whom. Now everyone that knows the 15 year old is going to know exactly what happened.

 

Everyone in the area who knows him will already know what happened due to the trial, the kid ending up in the hospital, and the mother seems unashamed of what she did, and probably will explain it to anyone who might give her some understanding. At least that`s were it is like where I am from (where I grew up, not in the capital where I live), there if anything like this was to happen, the whole town would know exactly what in a very short time.

Sad story, I really hope the woman serves time, and glad it is actually causing reaction and outrage! Another example why LGBT issues need to move forward, to leave incidents like this in what might be known as the LGBT dark ages. All the bad publicity caused by people like her is helping the cause as people get their eyes open for what homophobia leads to, though I feel really bad for the poor kid, and hope he recovers well :icon_sad:

 

What is wrong with these people? :O It's friggin' 2013 and they live in a developed country.

 

Stories like this are why I get a little frustrated sometimes with out LGBT people who insist that it's safe (and obligatory to the "cause") for everyone to come out.

Some people in some parts of the "civilized" world are still in very real danger of this kind of thing, or worse. This happened not far from where I currently live (like, the next town over).

I like to think that my dad is not the type that would do something like this, but there are times I wonder.

 

The poor boy, I really hope his mom gets into some serious trouble for this. Why on earth would it ever be ok to beat your son up like that??

 

This was a tragedy and most certainly not the norm. But I am afraid you are right.

 

Am I the only one that read the quote of the police officer? That is by far the most offensive part of this whole article. You call in a cop to report a case of abuse and the police officer just says "between you and me I would have shot the kid." Goddamn we need some accountability for police in this country... I'm genuinely pissed.

 

The poor guy.

I've been through some f*cked up shit in my life, but to have such a moment be focal and ingrained AND publicized at such a young age. I wouldn't know how to cope.

Damn.

 

I am very glad that Child Protective Services are involved, and I do hope to see her imprisoned. That would be an extremely good thing. If they can't manage that, she does need to be emancipated at the very least.

I find it extremely distressing that it's even a debate anymore whether hitting your child is ever okay.

 

i'm not endorsing this, but i think a parent has the right to discipline a child for doing something "wrong". i don't think homosexuality is wrong at all. but disciplining a homosexual act should be a conversation why it's "wrong"/a scolding, maybe a grounding or a single spanking. when it goes on for MONTHS, it is definitely abuse.

and she doesn't even realize it's abuse? i hope the kid can get away from her or she gets locked up. that's just sick.

 

What a sick and tragic story. That is abuse. This is not just a story of homosexuality. Would it be any different if a father caught his young girl having sex with a boy and he beat her? Its a teen engaging in sex...and an irate irrational and abusive parent. Not unique to the gay world. Abusive parents always have some excuse....finding your child engaging in sex? Happens more then we think. I witnessed a friend in highschool get beaten to a pulp by her father because she was found with her boyfriend after curfew necking. He was never charged...never anything done. Not reported by anyone including me since I was scared to death and only 14. This woman should not be allowed to even see her children if she is that irrational and evil.

 

Well disciplining is of course a necessity, but physical punishment is not. Now, I was spanked as a kid and was raised being told that some physical punishment was necessary to raising a child properly. Now being a psychology major I have seen via research findings that this is contrary to all the known findings. Spanking teaches kids that when someone does something you don't like the answer is to resort to violence. Not only that but it is most often turned to for the parent's own relief rather than the behavior modification of the child. Usually it is engaged in when they are sick of arguing with a kid, and just are too exhausted to deal with more appropriate and effective means of punishment.

What more, all evidence shows that positive reinforcement is far FAR more effective than positive punishment and much better at conditioning an individual's behavior.

 

My only question is why it was with his cousin.

 

Yeah, that cop quote was distressing.

 

according to the police chief, the conversation was recorded and the officer did not say what the woman claimed he said. of course, take that with a grain of salt :dry:

 

Hmm, and who has access to said recordings and can change them if necessary? Especially in today's digital age, and a simple 'slip' would destroy the original, thus making any forgery the 'only copy'. Not trying to sound paranoid, but with how cops are in general, especially towards minorities....

 

I'll believe that when I hear the recording of the conversation.

But I really hope that the police chief is telling the truth.

 

Part of me wants to be in law enforcement just so I can not be "that" person. But, just as military service has enticed me as a violence-loving supporter of human rights, I must return to reality, which says that the law =/= human rights, and the culture of law enforcement =/= the feminist loveliness that I would require from my coworkers.
