>A couple of days ago Dr. Phil aired a show on breastfeeding that had another one of those appalling stories that leave any reasonable person angry and frustrated. Here is the way the show is described on the Dr.Phil website: “Kate, the mother of a 7-year-old, 5-year-old and 20-month-old is still breast-feeding ALL of her children. She tells Dr. Phil that she just can’t say no when the kids ask to nurse.“
When I see such things, I always want to ask the following questions:
1) Why isn’t any one saying that this is child abuse, pure and simple?
2) How is what “Kate” says different from what any pedophile says (it’s what the child wants, the child seduced me, the child needed it more than I do, I can’t say no to a child who’s asking for it)?
3) Where are the social services? Why doesn’t any one care about the profound psychological damage this woman is inflicting on the poor children by shoving her breasts into the grown kids mouths?
4) What would happen if we saw images of a daddy putting parts of his body into his 7-year-old’s mouth on television and claiming that “this is what she wants”?
5) Why should people be exposed to watching scenes of pedophilia like this one on daytime television? Hearing about it is bad enough but seeing the actual images literally turns your stomach.
6) Why is there such a permissive attitude towards pedophilia and child abuse in our society? Nobody cares about Michael Jackson confessing that he sleeps in the same bed with boys, nobody gives a damn that this woman abuses her children in front of millions of people. How is this all ok?
