In Response To: In sympatjy (mothereve)

A question:

how did you survive your husband's abuse on you and your daughters? How did you keep quiet about his incest with your daughters? How did you not denounce him to authorities for what he was doing?

I met you briefly in 1977. I was an underage kid then. I remember your "leadership" and your activities back then. You were mature and old enough to know right from wrong then, what would you think?
What were you thinking? You seemed to be as deluded as your husband and have led many astray. When have you ever publicly admitted your own responsibility?

You were the person who kidnapped Merry Berg from the home in Florence. You just took the 5 yr old in the car and ordered your driver (yes, you had chauffeurs then) to drive off.

That is called kidnapping. It is a crime. It took years for Merry to find her own mother. She had to go on the Geraldo Show to find her. And still after all the torture the poor girl had been through she has never found sanity again. Who is responsible for that? Isn't that what Ricky was trying to say, that SOMEONE needs to bear responsibility? That justice is a NEED, not a want? Does it take the desperate act of a young man who feels the weight of such legacy and responsibility and frustrated need for justice can only find partial avenging in a vigilante type action?

How many more will have to die?

Have you ever publicly made amends? Last I checked kidnapping was a crime. And you ordered people who were your subordinates to be your accomplices. They became accomplices by obeying orders.

Your sympathies are appreciated, but before it is too late perhaps you could come clean about some of your past, too, in a public way, since you had a public profile and affected the lives of many.

And speaking of the pain of mothers, let us remember the pain of mothers that have kids who are yes still alive, but "almost" dead, in and out of psychiatric hospitals, and are just waiting to have that final phone calls. You played a part in all of that as well, starting from your own family.
