Esp in 7 y/o children, who are anxious to please their adult caretakers and authorities.<br /><br />As a child, my mentally ill Mother told me things that were patently False. I often came dangerously close to believing them.<br /><br />That's anecdotal, but it happens, probably more often than we know. In America, Mothers are Madonnas.<br /><br />Mia married Sinatra, 51, when she was 20. She collects adoptees. I'm suspicious of her stability.<br /><br />There is Nothing, far as I know, remotely similar in Woody's past or present (Soon Yee doesn't count for me). Child Molesters start early and Never Stop. Another 2 cents. <br /><br />BTW - I'm v v impressed by your eclectic, wise, & penetrating posts. I'm grateful for them.

While I accept that many young children were coached into believing that abuse happened when it could not have happened, Dylan is an adult, so I grant her word more credibility.<br /><br />I could be wrong, and I would prefer that she were wrong, but I suspect that she is telling the truth. As you say, it's not healthy for her, so what reason could she have for making it up?<br /><br />Apparently, it was provoked by the award that he just received at the Golden Globes.

As a standup, he was equal to Jackie Mason. As a film maker, I can't summon a comparison.<br /><br />He's suffered from Thanatophobia since childhood. I'm sure it's v v miserable.<br /><br />I take a back seat to no one in revulsion to child abuse. I was abused myself as a child (naked beatings at 2 am, for one).<br /><br />But I remember the Salem Witch Trials of bogus child abuse cases in the 90s. Children were Coached by social workers, other professionals, and parents. Many lives were ruined.<br /><br />The timing of this new bombshell is v v suspicious to me. It's obvious that Mia is extravagantly Spiteful.<br /><br />The exact manner of the abuse is not explained, far as I know. Or the number of instances. At this late point, I don't think we will ever know for sure.<br /><br />It will remain a mystery. I suspect keeping this scandal burning is not healthy for Dylan.<br /><br />That's my 2 cents. I'm saddened by the whole thing. -- Rich Lara <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
