Reply #26: I feel guilty about it as well

As we all know. child sexual abuse is a horrible, horrible thing. It can scar a person for life. Abuse must be stopped and it is up to the grown-ups and guardians in a child's life to stop whatever abuse they can.

If Scott Brown did suffer this abuse, then kudos to him for overcoming this. It does appear that he did some work to help address this issue in MA and I am very grateful he did. (I have relatives who endured horrible abuse at the hands of a relative. The statue of limitations doesn't run out on a victim's memories and often that type of scarring can be a heavy lifelong burden on the soul.

Scott Brown's behavior though is inconsistent. Why did he do that long, onscenity-laced rant at the King Philips School to an audience of young adults? Why did he back Jeff Perry, considering that Perry might have enabled a child abuser? That stuff gives me very, very serious pause. Brown is inconsistent in his behavior. He can't ask for understanding and then turn around and deny it to others. He can't just pay lip service to the set issue of child abuse without facing the issues that surround it.

I am withholding judgment still till more info comes in. Too many questions here.
