From: Lenona on 18 May 2010 23:56 This was by a mother who couldn't understand why her grown kids had disowned her because their stepfather sexually abused them for years and she chose to stay silent because he "might" have killed them had she spoken up. http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1356&dat=19890808&id=HCYTAAAAIBAJ&sjid=qwYEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6904,129396 And there were some very strong, poignant replies to that (none in her support, of course): http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1917&dat=19891027&id=RHkhAAAAIBAJ&sjid=0IkFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4656,7595309 You may not believe the mother described in the first responding letter - but more horrible stories than that have been in the news, so it's believable enough.
