When I was in school in the fifties and sixties, this would have been unheard of, even unimaginable.

So what happened? Somehow barriers fell away in the minds of certain types. You can cover all of it with the one Pedophilia label but the fact that the numbers of incidents has multiplied to the point we are rarely shocked anymore must tell something about current society.

Mary Kay had a good upbringing though her parents had issues, don't most? She loved being a teacher, was good at it, then it went awry for her need of affection and it's misplaced target. Really sad the destruction that ensued.

Is a pervasive loneliness at the core of this kind of abuse? People who don't see what they are doing, so majorly self-involved. Really sick stuff. If only people had the mental and emotional tools necessary to stop and think before acting.

Excellent points.

I do recall reading that she was diagnosed as bipolar when she was first incarcerated.

I wonder what her relationship is with her children from her previous marriage.

I remember the scandal. Never ever will imagine or know what she saw in him. I just wouldn't want her crime status removed. It just would not be right.

I don't know what it is currently, but they were estranged in the past.

I've wondered about this at times and I see she has NEVER re-abused any other children. She seems to be genuinely in love with him and hasn't reoffended, as I stated. I agree, she is a child in a woman's body and very immature so age-wise, they didn't match up but in mind, they seem to work. She did her time, paid for her crime and has shown she isn't reoffending so let it be is what I say.

As far as Barbara asking their children "do you know how your parents met?"!? It sickened me that she would stoop that low. Yes, she is a journalist but she went too far in my opinion. I don't like her, so I won't watch.

I wonder why BW would choose such a stupid topic. For gosh sakes, she's interviewed some of the most powerful & interesting people in the world, now she's stooping to this??
