> [@MissTake](#): > > Correct, it wasn’t my daughter. It was her half sister. The suicide queen is Emo (my ex)'s current girlfriend. I will agree that the child’s environment isn’t the best, but better than many. Ex#2 (her mom) works 12 hour days to keep a roof over their heads. However, she’s also a partier and the child often is at someone else’s house on the weekends. _shrug_ Holy hell . . . I listen to the radio show Loveline quite often. I’m gonna repeat some advice that they occasionally give. Please take that girl and stick her in a giant slingshot, and fling her towards the sun. At least there’s a _chance_ someone will find her and she’ll have a shot at a decent life without her environment fucking her up too bad. I know she’s not your daughter, and you have no say in her environment. And I don’t mean to be hurtful since obviously you and “Emo” have a good relationship. But the whole bit where she was allowed to wander off and repeatedly get molested is a real reflection of the absolutely fucked up environment she was living in. What Pedo Neighbor did is awful, and it certainly isn’t my intention to blame her mother for it, but this is the sort of thing that happens when a kid grows up in a completely chaotic home environment. And please tell me that “Emo” isn’t allowing Crazy Borderline Girlfriend (no, this is not a diagnosis, but the woman is _obviously_ screwed up) to come into any contact with his daughter. ---

Any chance Emo could get custody instead of Ex 2? ---

> [@MissTake](#): > > It’s my understanding that she wandered over there. Ex#2’s roommate was outside, didn’t notice her leaving the house. Ex#2 was inside doing who knows what. Pedo was in the garage putzing around. She went over there and, well. You know. Okay, but you said “repeatedly” molested. Does that mean he committed multiple offenses on one occasion? Or that she “wandered over” more than once, and her mom and mom’s roommate were oblivious each time? Or did Pedo lure her back multiple times after the first encounter? ---

> [@MissTake](#): > > LilMiss’s sister had been repeatedly molested by a neighbor. You had me at Hello. If you’ve seen even one of my posts concerning pedophiles, you should know better than to not e-mail me addresses and phone numbers. I have to admit, though, that I’m still unclear on all the players in this and how it all ties together. Break this down like I’m in 3rd grade. You have an ex living in your basement (is this the same person that doesn’t have a permanant address?) He has a girlfriend shacked up in your home. He has a daughter that was molested by a walking corpse, and you’re involved or know somehow his roommate? Before I go further, I need this broken down. Sorry, I just can’t keep up right now. The emo thing is throwing me off as well as the Ex#2. Just make up a cast of character names so I can visualize this. “Jane” is easier to picture in the grand scheme of things than “Ex#2”. ---

He has a girlfriend shacked up in your home. He has a daughter that was molested by a walking corpse, and you’re involved or know somehow his roommate? Okay - Me (MissTake) is mother to LilMiss Emo (would it be better if I call him Moe?) is my ex, father to LilMiss. Moe lost his home and job at the same time. To help him out I let him move into my house. In the basement. Ex#2 (I’ll call Mary) is the woman Moe left me for, mother to molested child (I’ll call Susie). Susie, daughter of Mary and Moe, half sister to LilMiss. The girlfriend (I’ll call Queenie) is Moe’s current girlfriend. She doesn’t live in my house, she lives a few miles away. She wants Moe to move in with her, but he won’t. Neither Mary or I allow our daughters to her house. Not only has Queenie threatened violence against us, her house is not safe, she’s not stable, and we’d rather just stay away. Pedo lived next door to Mary. He took care of the house owner in exchange for rent. Owner is elderly- last care taker committed suicide. Hmmm… > [@Rilchiam](#): > > Okay, but you said “repeatedly” molested. Does that mean he committed multiple offenses on one occasion? Or that she “wandered over” more than once, and her mom and mom’s roommate were oblivious each time? Or did Pedo lure her back multiple times after the first encounter? In Susie’s interview with the police it was discovered that the molestation had occurred multiple times. This was the time it was discovered. I know that the neighbor’s house has been a “drop off” site for Susie when Mary wasn’t home. Pedo had watched her while Mary went to the store, so Mary could take a nap, &c. > [@Guin](#): > > Any chance Emo could get custody instead of Ex 2? It’s been discussed, but he knows he doesn’t have the ability to be her full time care giver. It’s just not in him. And yeah, he does live in my basement, which doesn’t help. Despite what I may think of Mary, she would give her life for Susie. Losing her would break her. IMO, as bad as the situation is, I do believe it will make her a better parent. ---

> [@Diogenes the Cynic](#): > > 1. You’re upset that the other mother didn’t immediately cancel her playdate, even though Emo told here everything was alright. Meh. Big deal. Why freak out the kids? I agree that she should have gotten the hell out of there. But I understand that this is the Mother of All Awkward Situations and if you’re flustered and trying to figure out what to do, and the person says “Stay,” you may just not have the presence of mind to do anything but shut your mouth and stay. ---

But she didn’t shut her mouth and stay-it sounds like she was digging for the dirt as well. And maybe Mary would “die” for Susie, but apparently she was willing to let someone she had been warned about babysit for her? That’s not something I’d excuse. ---

> [@galt](#): > > Yes, new names for **everyone**! This will really clear things up. It’s like catching a segment of a soap opera. _Who_ was Emo again, and what was the exact relationship to Dirk the gay corporate raider who had an affair with Netrushka, a bulimic farmgirl cum runway model from Billings… ---

[For those who need a map.](http://www.geocities.com/shayna61/MissTakeTree.xls) I’m sorry this happened. Sounds to me like “Susie” needs a responsible custodian – obviously both her parents are unfit. Why don’t you step up to the plate and take the child in? I know she’s not yours, but _somebody_ needs to look out for this little girl, and it can only be a good thing to have the sisters living together under one roof, especially since their father already lives there, even if he techinically wouldn’t be the one with custody. ---

My opinion of Emo: this man needs a vasectomy. He has already two divorces, children from both marriages, but “he doesn’t have the ability to be [his child’s] full time care giver. It’s just not in him.” How long before he impregnates his current girlfriend and has another kid that he abandons? ---
