So long ago I don't remember what year it was. I was watching a talk show it was hosted by Sally Jesse Raphel (sp). She was talking to couples where the "man" of the house had sex with the babysitter. In 2 of the cases IIRC the sitter was 18 or older. In one case the sitter was 13 or 14. The audience lit into that girl. I was outraged. No one stood up for a girl that was raped. Worse she was subjected to the kind of criticism, one would have for an adult that freely engaged in sexual relations. But, she was definitely not an adult she was a minor and not one person suggested the man should be in jail. Anyway I quit watching that show for ever. I still hate that woman, with the stupid red rimmed glasses.

But, that incident made it very clear to me that the host was a horrid person. I mean seriously who lets a 14 year old be attacked by an audience when it is clear she wasn't the one that was wrong? Gack, I actually gave up most talk shows after that.
