I dislike family politics

[omimouse]

warinbear's grandfather sent him an e-mail. He wants to come and visit.

The man is a known child molester. catchild's journal holds more info on the subject.

Old New England family. He is the family patriarch. The whole family knows that he likes little girls, and most of them carefully pretend that the problem doesn't exist.

Old family, old blood, and he has the family estate. According to his eldest daughter (warinbear's mom) who also happens to be the executer of his estate, he has a right to have access to every member of his family. Quoting: " That was a long time ago. He knows what he did was inappropriate; he doesn't do it anymore. Besides, he only did it to his own daughters, and only to make them better wives. And he has never done it to anyone else." Direct quote, to the best of catchild memory, from four years ago.

If you do anything that upsets her, you get cut out of any will that she has any control over, and she does his books and estate for him. And not letting him have access to his kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids upsets her. And she still believes that he has a right to see his great-grandchildren, even after one of her sisters sent a letter to every family member that she had an address for. Said letter was a copy of one that she had sent her father, and listed what he had done to her and to her older daughter.

Our daughters, catchild and myself are, to the best of my knowledge, the only female family members that he has not molested in some way.

I despise family politics.

i know he is actually interested in warin and warins life. i also know he genuinely cares about his family.

but his molestation goes beyond a pat on the bottem as you go by. it includes things like putting his hand up the dress of a four year old girl. caressing the breasts of barley pubesent kids. pulling not yet pubesent girls into his lap and kissing them with an open mouth while running his hands over thier bottoms. and this is all things i've seen him do with my own eyes. some of it at my wedding some of it when we went up for gram's memorial service.

i can assure you if he tried any of that shite with my children he'd be dead. if he tried it with any of the adult members of sanctuary he'd be in jail on sexual assult charges. his name and money would not protect him here.
