What about when MOM is the abuser?

Female sexual abuse of boys often goes unreported

2009-11-10T04:30:00.001-05:00

Another study/article I wanted to post a brief article on and add to the site:Female sexual abuse of boys often goes unreported: public health problem: women offenders typically use persuasion rather than force in pedophilic acts.Clinical Psychiatry News November 01, 2003 Frieden, JoyceSAN ANTONIO -- Sexual abuse by females is a public health problem that needs to be addressed, Dr. John Bradford

Women emerge as child sex abusers

2009-11-06T04:28:00.001-05:00

I wanted to post another study and this brief article about it:Women emerge as child sex abusers.Youth Studies Australia September 01, 2006 Gross, Kate Some studies estimate that female perpetrators are responsible for 20% of sexual abuse cases involving children and teenagers, according to Victorian psychologist Rebecca Deering. Dr Deering recently completed a PhD study of victims of

We stereotype sexual predators, and we get it wrong

2009-11-03T01:59:00.000-05:00

Here is an article from the UK that is titled “We stereotype sexual predators, and we get it wrong” that talks about one of the most horrific cases of child sexual abuse they just had. The piece I most agreed with is the last line where it says:but making unjustified assumptions based on gender, class, sexual orientation or public achievements allows abusers to remain free.And of course this

Victims of Female Offenders often minimized

2009-10-30T08:34:00.000-04:00

This is a follow up post and article about the Liskey case from the last post:KS - Nationwide, female teachers who sexually abuse boys get probation more frequently while male teachers go to prison, says Topeka police Detective Heather Stultz-Lindsay.Why the difference?People view boys as the "pursuer, boys are the aggressor" and not as the victim, said Stultz-Lindsay, who investigated the

Probation sends a bad message

2009-10-27T08:18:00.000-04:00

I wanted to comment on a recent article about a 39 year old woman who sexually assaulted a 13 year old boy and was given probation:Probation sends bad messagePlacing Jennifer Dawn Liskey on probation for crimes tied to an illegal sexual affair with a boy who was 13 when it started sent a poor message to adolescent victims of sex abuse, says a Topeka psychologist specializing in treating children.

Elderly Female Pastor and Pedophile

2009-10-23T00:58:00.003-04:00

This awful case shows that even age is no guarantee that children will be safe. The comment made by the defense attorney arguing for leniency because she did not fit the typical profile struck me as odd. This was a horrible case where children went from one abusive environment to another nightmare. The girls ranged in age between 4 and 11.CA - The pastor of a church in a Riverside County strip

Female Pedophile Babysitter - Yes they do exist

2009-10-20T00:50:00.003-04:00

Another example that anyone can be a pedophile regardless of their gender. Also notice how the article calls it "intercourse" rather than rape or sexual assault.GOSHEN — A judge Tuesday morning sentenced a 21-year-old Port Jervis woman to eight years in prison for having intercourse with a 10-year-old boy she was babysitting.Brandy Decker pleaded guilty May 5 in Orange County Court to a felony

Mother abuses 10 year old son

2009-10-16T00:44:00.001-04:00

In the case featured below I have to wonder at the light sentence. 90 days that can be served on weekends?Canada - The single mother had previously pleaded guilty to three assaults that occurred over a prolonged period in the life of her 10-year-old son.She was continually touching him in the wrong places according to his testimony during a preliminary hearing that resulted in her guilty pleas.

Most Prolific Teenage Serial Killer is - A girl?

2009-10-13T03:24:00.000-04:00

Could the most prolific teenage serial killer be a girl? Maybe but if her claims are true she would certainly be among the most prolific teenage serial killers:BRAZIL - An investigation is underway to try to verify if the confession of a Brazilian teenager where she claims to have murdered thirty men to death are true. She has provided detailed accounts of 11 of them.She said she had murdered

Another female child porn case

2009-10-09T01:30:00.000-04:00

More and more women are being caught doing this kind of thing and here is another awful case:An Ayrshire woman caught with hundreds of images of children being raped and abused has been jailed for a year at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court.Emma Griffin, 24, whose hoard reached the worst levels of child pornography, was told by a sheriff her crime "provokes the disgust of the community".Several video

Blame the victim

2009-10-06T00:42:00.004-04:00

Here is another article in which the attorney blames the victim. Regardless of the genders involved this kind of thing really irks me when I see it done:TX - A 39-year-old former Orangefield Junior High teacher and coach is behind bars for ten years.Jennifer Burton finalized her plea deal with prosecutors this afternoon when she pleaded guilty to two charges of sexual assault and one charge of

Child sex abuse by women is significantly more widespread than previously realised

2009-10-04T02:13:00.003-04:00

I wanted to post parts of this article as it seems that slowly people are starting to catch on:UK - Child sex abuse by women is significantly more widespread than previously realised, with experts estimating that there could be up to 64,000 female offenders in Britain.Researchers from the Lucy Faithfull Foundation (LFF), a child protection charity that deals with British female sex offenders,

Double Standard

2009-10-02T00:36:00.002-04:00

The article below and others like it give me hope that slowly more and more people and professionals are starting to catch on to the double standard often involved with female offenders. For example:REDWOOD CITY — A 31-year-old San Bruno woman who lured a 14-year-old boy into her minivan and had sex with him will avoid state prison time, an official said Monday, but still faces up to a year in

Female Sex Killers

2009-09-29T04:37:00.002-04:00

Back in April of this year there was an article titled Female Sex Killers: The Devious Predators that I wanted to talk about briefly. With the Cantu case going on it has hopefully attracted enough attention that people will slowly begin to understand that female offenders are not as rare as once thought. Now if you say women who kidnap, rape and kill young children are rare that would be

Female Sexual Predators

2009-09-25T04:10:00.003-04:00

I wanted to post a few excerpts from a recent article that ran in the Independent and comment on them. The article is titled "Women are ruthless sexual predators too".MARTIN'S* mother began sexually abusing him by showing him "where babies come from". When he was seven she tied him up to the electrics, tortured him and told him he was going to die. From the age of five to 13 he was the subject

Female Killer

2009-09-22T00:42:00.003-04:00

Here is another terrible case that demonstrates that humans are capable of being cruel and sadistic regardless of their gender:Angela Simpson, 33, told FOX affiliate KSAZ from prison that she murdered Terry Neely because he was a snitch. The victim, Terry Neely age 46, was wheel chair bound.Allegedly Simpson told the interviewer that she had lured the victim to her apartment by promising him sex

Abusive Mother sentenced

2009-09-18T02:41:00.003-04:00

I wanted to post this story about a mother who was sentenced to 99 years for slicing off the penis and genitals of her 5 week old baby. Apparently the mother tried to blame it on the dog and her lawyers requested probation for her. Here are a few excerpts:TX - A Houston mother was sentenced to 99 years in prison on Monday for severing her infant son's genitals in a 2007 attack she blamed on the

Violent female perpetrator study

2009-09-15T01:09:00.000-04:00

I wanted to post the abstract of another interesting study that was done on female perpetrators and their victims. You can find the entire study HERE. The violent female perpetrator and her victimGhitta Weizmann-Heneliusab, Vappu Viemeröb, Markku EronenacAbstractThe aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between violent female offenders and their victims as well as the putative

30 day sentence for sexual assault

2009-09-11T06:46:00.000-04:00

This article shows that even a female offender at the age of 54 can sexually assault a 15 year old boy and allegedly drug his girlfriend so she could do so:Her family watched as the 54-year-old Beaverton woman who pleaded guilty to misdemeanor third-degree sex abuse in a Clatsop County Courtroom last week was sentenced Tuesday.Sue Ann Close occasionally looked back at her family as Clatsop County

Teacher rapes student

2009-09-08T01:04:00.001-04:00

This story pretty much speaks for itself. Probation for a "rape" conviction seems to me to be an awful light sentence:NY - A Queens public school teacher pleaded guilty to second-degree rape charges Tuesday for having sex with a 14-year-old student.Melissa Weber, 28, was sentenced to time served, 10 years probation and has to register as a sex offender for the next 20 years.The social studies

Domestic Violence Article

2009-09-06T04:57:00.001-04:00

I wanted to post part of a recent article written by Linda G. Mills, J.D., M.S.W., Ph.D. I think it is wonderful to see these kind of posts begin to appear in the popular culture publications. I also want to applaud her for stepping up and showing character by posting the article when it is bound to draw some heavy criticism of her. The article is titled:Everything You Need to Know About

Abusive Mother

2009-09-04T05:30:00.000-04:00

This is another case in which just plain cruelty and torture are involved. She broke his leg and left him without medical attention for two days. As someone who has had broken legs in the past I know how painful they can be and to have them for two days with no help? And admitting that she has tortured him in various different ways since he could walk calls for more than a 9 year sentence I

Female Pedophile teacher

2009-09-01T01:34:00.001-04:00

Another case of a female pedophile. This one was a teacher and abused one of her elementary school students:WA - There was no debate over Jennifer Rice’s sentence. Under state statute, the only prison term possible for the former Tacoma school teacher, convicted of sex crimes involving a 10-year-old student and his older brother, was 25 years to life in prison.Prosecutors contended that Rice had

Trafficking in misery

2009-08-28T02:34:00.001-04:00

A case of a female trafficking in the misery of other women:Atchara Nualpenyai, 30, paid criminals in Thailand to bring women into the UK. But they had their passports taken away and were then forced to work as prostitutes to repay “debt bondages” of up to £30,000.The women were forced to work every day, sometimes sent to other brothels in London and even as far as Bristol.Last month Nualpenyai

Women killing children

2009-08-25T08:04:00.003-04:00

The following two stories are about two women who either tried or did kill their children and post partum depression clearly was not involved:Sylvia Sieferman, 61, who tired to take her own life after the stabbings, will serve more than 16 years in prison.She had pleaded guilty to two second-degree attempted murder charges in Ramsey County District Court.Sieferman drew 16 years and six months for
