Geraldo on LaFave:Straight out of line



I just finished watching tonights episode of "Hannity's America" on the Fox news network in which Hannity had Geraldo Rivera in the hotseat.
Geraldo was speaking on behalf of the Debbie LaFave case,and if I do say so myself,He was way out of line.
Geraldo pushed the idea that somehow Debbie LaFave should be exempt to her charges because as he stated,it is different when a woman has sex with a young boy,rather than when a 30 year old gym teacher has sex with a young girl.
I do agree that the way a teenage boy would handle such a situation would be different than the way a young girl would.I would say,due to the alpha perspective of the male pysche,it is a reasonable conclusion to say a man would "brag" to his friends about such an act.Being a guy I can honestly say that in that situation,at that age,I probably would of never said a word.It isn't exactly your everyday occurence to have an attractive teacher at your disposal.At least not when you're 13 years old.
Being a young boy once himself,I believe that Rivera let that mindstate win him over....which is completely irresponsible,especially considering that he himself is the father of several children.
I Believe that we as adults have a responsibility to children,to seek justice for them,to protect them,to guide them.
It disgusts me that Geraldo Rivera could say things so childish on national television,especially if there were children watching somewhere.
In My opinion,Debbie LaFave is a child predator,as is any other adult that solicits sex through under-aged minors.I also think that this woman was obviously troubled and in need of some serious mental evaluation.
Now as I said Before,I understand how Rivera felt about the boy...But to really think about this woman,how troubled she must of been to have partaken in such a relationship,and even to continue to write letters to this boy in prison.
To me the bottom line is,boy or girl,it does not matter.
If an adult is troubled enough to have sex with small children,that adult should be charged as any other.There should be no bias and zero tolerance in such crimes....
C'mon people,these are children.
