I just read this today. It does really bother me. That man was just being a good father. If she really was trying to protect her kids, she should have asked him, “Sir, for what purpose did you take those photos of my children because I’m concerned for their exploitation.” Even if she’s afraid and didn’t feel safe (because she’s surrounded by people and security so, she should be, right?) when she told security, they said, “If he’s a sex-offender he’ll be arrested,” and well, that’s jumping the gun already. Then he could have talked to the man and told her, “So, this is what he said,” and told her that her children are safe.
Then before she knows what really happened, she got excited for her narcissism and did her attention hobbling move, to destroy this life because well, she just knows. What man would be holding a camera in a mall, right? Obviously he’s a sexual predator who blatantly doesn’t understand that he should keep this underwraps. At least try to hide it, and not admit you’re sending it to a 16 year old, right?
Oh, he didn’t realize that’s what she was thinking because in his mind, he wasn’t even concerned with her children but his own! Silly me.
Back on with the subject: then everybody without question assumes guilt by her word (because let’s get ‘im) and spreads that damage.
Then the jerk says she was legitimately concerned for her children (her narcissism). Instead of saying, “She made a mistake and this is her responsibility that she should own up to it,” he passes off he destruction like it’s just a happenstance. She knew the consequences though of her actions and took no consideration for the truth before she bashed him.
In my opinion this is criminal negligence. You have to fact check before you destroy a life.
Now those boys are going to see a different father. He’s going to be far more hesitant and the 16 year old will gain anger against the woman who did it. The father he loved will be hurt and no longer giving the same wonderful childhood he got to the younger, and the younger will be angry with him for it. The 16 year old will tell them why it’s not his fault. They’ll hold anger against her, and rightfully so. The wife on the other hand will be a scorching bitch to anyone who dares to harass her husband now. She’ll probably get p~~~ed off and confront the woman who did this.
I was thinking of getting recording equipment in case I was white-knighted, mainly because my cell phone has a faulty camera, but I guess it works well enough.
As for me my father went through a similar ordeal but with far fewer consequences. My father is the type to purchase an item from a store, use it once and return it. My sister’s car (another story) wouldn’t start and my dad was out in the field to fix it. Rather than trucking all the way home to get his equipment he went to Radio Shack and got the multimeter. He was in the airlock of a lobby in JC Penny monkeying with the device to set it up how he wanted when a store clerk approached him and asked him what he’s doing. He’s fast at work and he’s not interested in interruption.
“Is that a bomb?”
That’s when he realizes he needs to say something. I thought that she was such a dips~~~ for that. This was just after September 11. You can say, “Well, she was doing the best she could,” but the real problem is that she sees men as dangerous and September 11 only reminded her of that. She also watched movies and thought, “Oh, that’s how it is.” Then she sees my father with her kids, mind you, and then jumps conclusions like that.
Talk about dips~~~.
