Also, in those days, sexual assault was not taken as seriously as it is now, women and girls were conditioned to think differently than they are now. <br /><br />In more recent years, considering those incidents, and the possibility of reporting them as historical crimes, knowing I would be taken seriously, I still choose not to, putting their acts down to moments of weakness, and also because I have a forgiving nature - it is a very personal choice, for which people like myself are often castigated as being irresponsible, in case there are other victims. I think, if that is the case, and if it was more than I choose to believe, then someone else either did, or will, report them. <br /><br />Apologies, anyway, if I offended, anyone -and about the other bit, if that offended - I do tend towards the cynical at times. <br />Hey Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118508358051764200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-69709858481170401872016-04-15T11:57:52.385-04:002016-04-15T11:57:52.385-04:00Should add, all decades ago - all the men who have...Should add, all decades ago - all the men who have any part in my life of now are gentlemen - perhaps not all quite 'perfect gentlemen', but in that respect, they are gentlemen.

I'm not counting the days. :) <br />--<br /><br />A few years back there was trouble here when the then Justice Secretary, Ken Clarke, made a remark about 'serious rape' - a media furore followed which went on for weeks: <br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13436429<br /><br />I got what he was trying to say, as he was speaking about lengths of prison sentences for rape, where realistically, a stranger rape, with physical violence, maybe with use of a weapon, and beyond the violence of rape itself, has and should have a longer sentence fitting those aggravating elements of the crime, than say, rape within marriage, or by coercion. It was not intended to suggest that any victim was not seriously traumatised, but that was how it was widely interpreted. I do not know how one might measure trauma. <br /><br />There's difficulty around the language of rape, and of other forms of sexual assault, whereby the use of 'serious' has, by default, to seem to lessen the seriousness of that which may not be considered (for sentencing purposes) so 'serious'. <br /><br />In my own life, I have not considered several incidents of sexual assault to be serious enough to want to report (neither have I reported those which were) - I'd find myself to be vengeful and a life-wrecker - men are (really) sometimes taken by a moment's temptation. Also, I grew up in the 'Benny Hill' and 'Miss World' era, in which women and girls were expected to take any impropriety, which these days would be recognised as sexual assault, as good natured and a compliment. <br /><br />I do sometimes think the pendulum has swung too much the other way, that the police here making general appeals along the lines of 'come forward - you will be believed' is actually quite ridiculous - it's an open invitation, especially where celebrities from the Benny Hill era are concerned - whatever you tell us, true or false, you WILL be believed. I can't get my head round it - it was such a different age, men did feel entitled, anyone who was ever within a hundred yards of a celebrity (most of the nation's youth, at some point) could claim to have been a victim. So many victims - when the compensation cheque book is out. Perhaps I lack sympathy, but sometimes I think, 'really - that moment, even if it is true, traumatised and totally wrecked your life, that much?' 'You didn't just feel disappointed and disillusioned to discover that your favourite DJ or heartthrob was just another schmuck?' - okay, maybe some of us are made of stronger stuff - I would consider some of the things that happened to some of the compensation seekers as not quite shrug-offable. but also not something to get all vengeful and screwed up about. I do get though, that if they were not already familiar with the ways of the world it could be traumatising.<br /><br />I also can't get my head round how scary it must be to be a young man who gets into a relationship with the wrong type of woman.<br />Hey Judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05118508358051764200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-39543038261208598922016-04-14T14:57:59.888-04:002016-04-14T14:57:59.888-04:00Clark said a volunteer attorney agreed with a psyc...Clark said a volunteer <b>attorney</b> agreed with a psychiatrist who sees her sons and <b>advised them against </b> the polygraph.<br /><br />“He said it would be a <b> lose-lose</b> situation.

Your postings are kind and concerned for my son. It is now past 4 months and still no word about Colt. Our hearts are broken, but we will not give up hope. Our family and friends will never give up. Our hopes and prayers are that we will find him soon. We believe the biological family has him hid out.Colts brother believes this to be the truth. <br />Please remember the news papers and media take things out of context, and report what ever they want. The media got the police report and stated that my son's had been in a pornographic ring, and had been sexually abused. This was exploitation of my children for a head line, or top story. They did not get that information from me. I called the editor and complained. I have found this to be true in many of the reports. Nontruths are reported as a fact. This is a great injustice to my children and the public. I contacted channel 9 and the producer and told them that they had lower the profession of journalism to less than prostitution. The media has harmed my family to make a profit.However; it did get my Son's picture on the news and you saw the reports. That is what we wanted. The OSBI gave a excellent professional report. The spokes person stated that this kind of case brings the best, and the worst out in people. We have been helped by many wonderful people, and the OSBI has been working hard. The Missing Childrens Org. have been wonderful and their work is endless. I knew very little about these organizations. They stepped in and told us what needed to be done. We could not even think at that time. I know now that we were in shock. I do not know how we would have made it without the prayers of family and friends. Our community and neighbers have been supportive. I will never be able to thank them enough. People like them helped whe we needed without asking. I hope that no one else has to go through this kind of pain and stress. <br />The fact is yes my children were abused horrifically. There was child pornography, neglect, physical, emotional,mental abuse and prostitution. This was reported to the police by our children and we were told that there was not enough evidence for arrests. The Bio Father and his associates pasted a lie detector test. So has many criminals. The last serial killer caught in Co. had past one, and was release before caught again. However, he had killed more people. Look on the net about Polygraph tests. The Name for it is know as SWAG.. Somebody's wild ASS guess. This is stated by many intelligent persons, including members of the CIA. Also, there is much information on how to pass or fail the test.<br />My son's were shocked and scared after they went to the law enforcement and recieved no justice. We found out the hard way. The syatem works for the criminals extreamly well. It was shocking and alarming to our family. <br />I tell you this now, because the news stations and medial already told half truths about the abuse, and case history. The internet is full of negative, insulting, slanderous remarks about my family and I. I really am disgusted with it. I could not even reply to such remarks. Those people are so far off from the truth, it is sad. They need to get on the same map that most of the decent human beings use.The lies that are told are incredible. <br />I talked with Marc Klass, (Polly Klass's father)Brad Dennis, and Tim Miller founder of Equa Search. They stated they had all experienced the same kind of cruelity from the Law enforcement and public. That is why they fonded Equa Search, Missing Children, Beyond Missing, and the National Missing and exploited Childrens fondations. These are wonderful fondations and they all have internet sites. If you have time please check them out.<br />Once again I want to thank you. <br />Rebecca Clarkima.grandmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09319771909287767461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-65450968535311278752016-04-12T23:23:46.893-04:002016-04-12T23:23:46.893-04:00Yes, 'lads' generally goes more with misch...Yes, 'lads' generally goes more with mischief than malice - but kids these days, some have no boundaries.

Touching and smacking are present tense (the exception being if she is reliving an event from a long time ago) and appear out of place. "Really" is a qualifier and is an unnecessary word, especially given it's used next to a negation (I didn't) especially as the communicative language is soft and out of context. "it went on for a couple of minutes is passive, what went on? She doesn't say. She also "tried" to get past them. If two men were behind her and one man was in front, she'd only have to get past "him" <br /><br />Whilst she says she was ok at first, she doesn't say how long after she called the police. She called her brother but only starts to cry (burst into tears) after she called him but doesn't say why. She's only angry because the men should have known better not because she was attacked, assaulted, abused etc. She refers to the incident as "sexual assault" when mentioning the police and how they termed it but minimises the whole event by saying that what they were doing (not did) was wrong.<br /><br />The more I read the more I see. It's 2.30am. Applying the Statement Analysis rule, I should hopefully see it more clearly with fresh eyes in the morning.Seagullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12548631813907985901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-54924139464008239452016-04-12T21:29:04.363-04:002016-04-12T21:29:04.363-04:00"It is insulting to listen to fashion trends ...<i>"It is insulting to listen to fashion trends when there is war, disease, starvation and people dealing with it." </i><br /><br />First, it's another bit she lifted from other people's posts - most of her garbled sentences are loaded with spelling and grammatical errors; this one has zero.<br /><br />Second, it doesn't remotely fit her rambling point even after tacking what is obviously afterthought about generic missing people.<br /><br />Sometimes, order screams importance! Missing people - not even missing Colt - comes well after trying to align with people who are tired of apathy and shallow news coverage.<br /><br /><i>"Now it is hard for me to watch the News." </i><br /><br />People yapping about fashion trends while others deal with war, disease and starvation make it now hard for her (again, all about herself) to watch the news.<br />Yet, her child missing for the past 10 years and the other removed from her custody and never seen again hasn't made watching the news painful?<br /><br />I can't even wrap my brain around the life these two boys must have suffered. If I'm correctly interpeting the earlier post, DHS officials relocated Homer, not this disgusting feces stain?<br /><br />And to think this pair was considered an upgrade from the drug-addicted biological parents? <br /><br />ima.grandma, does she ever mention Homer? Does she ever write about missing him along with missing Colt?<br /><br />Does she ever express pain, anger, outrage, that they pulled him from their home, <i>and</i> went so far as to change his name so they can never track him down?<br /><br />The expected: My beloved child is missing; I'm innocent and devastated, and they come and take away my remaining beloved child, I would be going ballistic, and not stop until I got him back in my arms!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7164794708270892518.post-8323671556944981082016-04-12T21:04:01.919-04:002016-04-12T21:04:01.919-04:00On it's form, the statement appears to be outs...On it's form, the statement appears to be outside the 25/50/25 ratio with a longer introduction. she says she was "just" doing a short run, (comparing two thoughts) and then adds what appears to be unnecessary and unexpected information about living in Ashton all her life "so" always feel safe. So is an explainer and living in Ashton all her life is why she feels safe. There is a dropped pronouns at this point. She says she always "feels" safe (this is after reporting the incident) yet later on she changes tense to always "felt" safe yet both are reported after the incident. The liars number "three" is mentioned. <br /><br />There are a cluster of blues in the second paragraph (so and to). The language is not what I'd expect. "They tried (attempted and failed) and then started (an incomplete act) touching her. The article "the" sounds odd. there is no ownership i.e smacking "my bottom. She says what she didn't know what to say. When reporting a statement, something that happened, i'd expect her to say what happened. Her language / tone is soft and out of context. She tried (attempted but failed) to get past them the reason being the man with the bike kept moving it in front of her. <br /><br />She then goes on to say how she was ok at first, completely neglecting to say how she got away from the men and what happened. Her reason for calling the police was "just" to make them aware of it. This is an unexpected reason. The police "TOLD" her as opposed to her "TELLING " them what happened. <br /><br />She says she "never" which is a weak denial runs with and introduces the words "headphones" explaining "so" knows what's going on around her. She repeats (sensitive) that she has lived in Ashton all her life.<br /><br />She only feels angry because she feels the men should have known better and what they "were" doing not "did" was wrong. Not because they attacked her. She uses the word "these" when talking about the men which is close and says they will have "sisters"? Mothers I understand possibly but how does she know they will / have sisters?<br /><br />She felt she had to ( she didn't necessarily want to) TELL people. She didn't TELL the police about it when reporting it only people afterwards, BECAUSE the NEXT person (how does she know there will be another person?) might not be so lucky.<br /><br />There is more of convince than convey in this statement with a number of red flags. She has a need to explain a number of points as opposed to saying what happened. she also reports in the negative that she didn't know what to say in a soft tone. The tone of language is unexpected. The tense changes from feel to felt. There is missing information, skipping over time, actions starting and not finishing and no explanation of how she got away. She gives a weak denial (never) She draws herself close as opposed to distancing and gives no descriptions. She felt she had to tell the public but only called the police just to make them aware.<br /><br />Added to this, she was happy for the police to give her name for an obscure reason.

The fact that she used "lads" and not men (or even "blokes," is really significant. You see in Britain one would never describe an assault as having been carried out by "lads" because it's too nice and familiar. It's difficult to explain, but people use "lads" with a sort of affection, like "You lads are up to no good, away with you," is something a shop keeper might say with a mild shake of his head to a group of boys hanging outside his store. OR, "ME and the lads are going down the pub." The fact that she used "lads" tells me she was never afraid.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
