Blaming the victim, really?


I do not understand what the deal is lately with blaming the victims or if those who are accused of hurting or involved in their disappearance decided that it would be a good idea to go out in public and make accusations about them that are awful and the poor victim cannot defend themselves.

Just last week that happened here in Washington and I am pretty sure it made national news. This poor woman, Susan Powell, has been missing since December 2009. Her wonderful (and I do mean that sarcastically) husband goes out and tells the world that Susan ran off with another man. Then just last week her father in-law goes out and tells the world that he had an affair with her and her husband says that she was just very sexual. Now please keep in mind that the police have said that they only have one suspect and that is her husband (I am sorry I don’t remember the guy’s name).  I am sorry this is just WRONG! There is no other way to say it but that. I mean he most likely did something to her that he knows she cannot come out and defend herself but he thinks okay I will just smear her name. What makes me even more angry about it is that they have children together. So now these poor kids no longer have their mom with them and hearing what is, in my opinion, most likely lies that she left them for another guy, but he as a dad he goes out and smears her name. I mean come on.  I have several problems believing these new smears on her. 1. If she really did have an affair with her father in law why would her husband go and move back here to be closer to his family? I am not sure but I think they live together. That makes no sense to me. I can tell you from my husband’s point of view when I asked him that there is something wrong with that and it makes it very suspicious.  Also why would they just now start saying this junk? For me though if the police are saying that there is no evidence of her just leaving with some other guy then that means she most likely didn’t no matter her husband and father in-law are trying to sell me. It just looks like lies to me anyway.

To me this kind of junk they are spouting off just makes them look more guilty. It seems like to me and I will be the first to say that I don’t know anything but it still seems like to me that they are just trying to divert attention from themselves. I just wonder if they realize how much damage they are doing to those poor children who are already suffering from their mom’s disappearance.

The problem in my opinion is that there is no more holding people accountable for their own actions.  The sad truth is this kind of junk will just get worse unless we as a society start holding people accountable for their own bad actions.

I am hoping that one day there will be vindication with the arrests of her husband or father in-law whoever really did do something to her. Then all their smears on her will come out in the light for what they really are (in my opinion lies to take the focus off of them.)

  I would ask you all to say a prayer for these poor children and for Susan Powell’s poor family who have to endure all this junk as well.
