Here Comes Honey Boo Boo

I wonder if she thinks the abuse actually made her stonger. Along the same line as the smug, "My dad beat the shit out of me. He's send me out with a knife and make me cut a tree branch and strip it, and he's whip me until my backside bleed. I turned out fine!"

"I had an uncle stick his penis in my mouth when I was 8. I didn't like it, I cried every night, but on the end it's just a penis, it's not snake or a gun. And uncle wuss would give me candy and let me drive his truck. It's no big deal."

June was probably molested when she was young and to her this is normal.Nobody helped her when she was young so she may think it's no big deal. That's sick but she's mentally Ill.

At the end of the day June knows it's wrong.
We don't know her, we can't speak to what is going on with her emotionally or mentally, but we do know she is an adult and that what she is doing is selfish and unsafe for her daughters.

Agreed. If she didn't think he did anything wrong she would have been out and about with him openly instead of lying about being together with him and trying to hide it. She knows damn well it's wrong.

He abused Anna with Pumpkin in bed with him. He probably abused Pumpkin too and she was too young to remember it or she buried it. Jessica is older than Pumpkin and younger than Anna, I wouldn't be surprised if he abused her/exposed her to this as well.

Yeah, I'm out with this one too. It's just too much. Those poor girls. I hope everyone gets the help they desperately need. Jesus wept indeed.

In checking out the Television section here this morning, this thread was right beneath American Horror Story. Right now, I think this thread truly qualifies for the title of American horror story.

Ha. Speaking of nearby threads, I was just thinking "When I need to wash my brain out by going to the Duggar topic..."

Yeah, June is making me rethink the animosity I've felt for Kate and Jon. She may be a bitch, but at least she's a protective bitch. There is no way in holy hell Kate would ever let anyone take advantage of her kids that way.

[Mugsy]

But the defensive battle cry at TWOP about June was always, "At least she loves her kids, this family loves each other, unlike (name any other rich reality family)!"

I always thought, big deal. I'm sure the Kardashians love each other too, and the Real Housewives love their kids. Point? Loving your kids is hardly some indicator of parenting excellence. I figured that was the ONLY good thing June's fans could think to say about her, and now we know that even that slim endorsement doesn't hold water.

[Nysha]

I've defended her on TWoP because I don't think being fat, poor, and uneducated makes you a bad person. Having a baby at 15 doesn't make you a slut, nor does having 4 kids by 4 different fathers. While her parenting and overall life-style disgusted me and I wished she would make better food and entertainment choices, I always figured she was a product of her own upbringing, not an evil person destroying her children.

Now, I think she's an evil person destroying her children. If she wanted to feed her kids Mt. Dew and Ketchup Spaghetti, ick, but ok. But sending her 8-year-old daughter to live with her grandparents because she was brave enough to tell that June's boyfriend was abusing her while her toddler sister watched, then bringing that piece of scum back into the family after he's served time for molesting another child? I've got nothing but contempt for June and concern for those girls.

From Radar Online: Grandma Reveals She Rescued Anna, Now Terrified Honey Boo Boo In Danger

The Honey Boo Boo scandal has gone from bad to worse, and even “Mama June” Shannon’s own mother, Sandra Hale, has been pulled into it.

In a new interview, Hale reveals that Georgia’s Child Protective Services has been actively involved in getting to the bottom of Mama June reconnecting with 53-year-old convicted child molester Mark McDaniels.

Man, even June's own mother came out against her. She's not buying that June's claim that June hasn't been seeing this child molester either.

[koshergrit]

Good. I've never watched this show, but the idea of a predator anywhere near Honey Boo Boo or her older sisters, is downright terrifying.

Mods, I apologize for what I'm about to say here: Mama June can go to hell.
