In reply to the discussion: EXCLUSIVE: Parents of underage victim in Kate Hunt's case defend actions [View all]IdaBriggs
(10,559 posts)Two outcasts -- gay, smart, interested in sports and education -- found each other. If the parents had let things go/looked the other way, odds are good the relationship would have ended in time with hopefully fond memories on both ends. No unwanted pregnancy, no STD exposure, and maybe a lifelong friendship after the "young love" stage ended (probably with the elder going off to college).
By participating in the teenage drama, the parents turned this into an Adult Drama. Their daughter became "disrespectful" and ran away to escape them. She returned, but is angry because her True Love is being persecuted. She now holds her parents in contempt, while they would prefer to believe she is a victim of sexual abuse/has been turned gay.
Idiots.
