(I don't know how many times, during my years as a prosecutor, I was so thankful for the "good touch, bad touch" school programs that facilitated girls, and boys, to confide in someone who responded in a meaningful, proactive fashion... and sometimes that ivery first confidante was the mother who then took action as we'd all like to think a mother would). Fortunately, there are more resources and support for kids & teen victims, and supportive family members -- at least here in New York, even in the boondocks -- than there were in the past. I grieve, and am angry, that you were left marooned.)
sorry to hear this story Kaleigh...Kaleigh|1451515474|3968659 said:As a survivor of sexual abuse I pray that Mr. Cosby gets the book thrown at him... I lived for years being abused by my father, and he was such a high profile person I felt I could not ask for help. My own mother saw with her eyes but didn't want to deal...
mom2dolls|1451515866|3968666 said:My question is...
Where was his wife during all of these incidents? Many happened at their home and the women claimed she was home. Could she have known all these years and turned a blind eye?
Think 6, of the 50 women who have come forward, have said they were violated inside a Cosby home (for a number of years, the Cosbys simultaneously owned 4 residences). IIRC Carla Ferrigno is the only one who's said that Camille Cosby was under the same roof. Bill Cosby roughly grabbed-pulled her (Carla) to him & kissed her hard on the mouth before she shoved him away, back in 1967. It's not obvious to me, from this lengthy interview Ms. Ferrigno gave to The Daily Mail, that Camille would be aware of anything untoward in the pool room.mom2dolls said:My question is...

To be left without his career, his past sullied, his former friends turned against him, his family humiliated, his co-workers appalled, his professional affiliations ended, his endowments returned, his name all but erased from the yearbooks of the schools he attended, no one anywhere wanting anything to do with him . . . that's all a mighty high price to pay for some tail back in the day. And now he can add possible jail time to his list of woes. You have to wonder how one man can be so brilliant and yet be such a fool.
It never pays to think with one's appendage. And he obviously has let the little guy make most of his decisions in years past.
But let's be honest about a few things, at least. The people who enabled him, knew what he was doing. The girls who were offered X, Y or Z, and met up with him anyway, knew what he was asking of them. The only women who have a case are those who said "No", or those who were drugged so that they could not say "No". Anyone else was just playing the same games he was.

She could live very comfortable on her half of the settlement. This whole standing by her man thing makes me sick. She knows in her heart that there is no way all these women are lying. You can hear the pain in their voices during so many of their interviews. They had nothing to gain by coming forward. I get a sick feeling just looking at this jerk on TV. I can't imagine living with this monster.

I did my best to get invited out on weekends so I could be safe... I don't know how old this victim is and it does't matter. a victim is a victim...
