Talk about being called a liar, let me tell you about a man in Iowa who molested me. I had been put in a mental hospital in Iowa at age 14. I didn't think I needed to be there, but I had been put there by what they use to call a Sanity Court, and in order to get out I had to go back into that Sanity Court. But what chance does a penniless 14 year old have in doing such a thing. So one of the hospital workers had a friend of his come to the hospital to talk to me about representing me in court. This man, named Bill, was the local district attorney, and I was real impressed that I could have such a knowledgeable person represent me. I figured if anyone would know their business he would. Since he WAS the district attorney, the officials at the hospital allowed him to take me to his office to interview me. Cutting to the chase, he didn't take me to his office, he took me out on a country road and raped me, all the time telling me how he was going to get me out of that hospital. I was so avid to get out of that hospital that I kept my mouth shut. He didn't get me out, that happened naturally several months later. When I was back in Des Moines, in the custody of the juvenile authorities, he showed up again, and as the district attorney he was allowed to check me out of the home and do it again ! This time I told on him, but I was a lair just trying to cause trouble for a decent, upstanding pillar of our communtiy. This man later went on to become a district judge, president of the school board, had a family with children, but all of my allegations against him were seen as the workings of a disturbed teenager. I even contacted the bar association, the local government in his town, told them I wanted him prosecuted, threatened him personally with a law suit, and he, and his grown son, counter threatened me with a lawsuit if I didn't quit harassing the old fool. So where is the justice in that case ? I have tried for years to hire an attorney who will sue the hell out of him, but no lawyer wasts to take the case. Whenever I see incidents where someone is standing up and saying, "Oh , alas, I was molested as a child by the big bad neighbor man and I want justice", I get an attitude. Where were all those do gooders when I needed help ? Where are they now ? I had to handle it on my own then and am still doing so. I don't want any sympathy over the situation, but it just ticks me off to no end. And people wonder why someone climbs up in a bell tower and snipers the town folks. Jack Childers in OKC
