She stole over $100k and was only ordered to pay $54k back. Then she sued her dad which I believe was her way to get out of having to go to jail!<br />On 3/7/14 she was arrested once again for stealing $18k!<br />She needs to rot in jail!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12373539739788499758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-29945161553987816332014-10-09T11:29:47.491-07:002014-10-09T11:29:47.491-07:00It could possibly be another manipulated money mak...It could possibly be another manipulated money making plan- that worked!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-26243734217923774102009-11-16T18:22:43.168-08:002009-11-16T18:22:43.168-08:00@The Ridger

Especially when this woman was already convicted for embezzling, there's indications that she's got a loose definition of the "truth" as it is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-72427399506836959982009-11-16T17:52:58.563-08:002009-11-16T17:52:58.563-08:00There's a whole industry of recovered child ab...There's a whole industry of recovered child abuse though. Sort of like Freud facing the fact that his theory meant *every man in Austria* was an abuser and realizing how insane that was. <br /><br />There are therapists who haven't come to that realization yet.The Ridger, FCDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538111197270563075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-55350180992280785552009-11-16T16:18:06.457-08:002009-11-16T16:18:06.457-08:00I think it's unfair to lay the blame at therap...I think it's unfair to lay the blame at therapists' feet. While I suppose it's <i>possible</i> that she's being "led" by therapists, most therapists really don't want to talk about someone's past. They want to talk more about current feelings (perhaps about events in the past) and how they can be recognized and managed. It's been pretty well established that for most patients, rehashing old traumas is more harm than good. Once the data is on the table, it's not productive to go over it again and again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-68342216267893840252009-11-16T15:57:12.454-08:002009-11-16T15:57:12.454-08:00There's a good book on this and the 1980s chil...There's a good book on this and the 1980s child abuse scandals, Satan's Silence. It's rather sad. You had distraught parents rummaging around the ruins of the McMartin day care center looking for the non-existent catacombs and planting evidence while child abuse experts shoved q-tips up the kids' anuses and claimed that this proved that they had been sodomized. Given the number of acquittals and failed retrials, the villains seem to be parental anxiety about day care in the 1980s when women were forced back into the work force by falling wages and the child abuse industry.<br /><br />It looks like the scam is still around.Kalebergnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15868947.post-68486149875588858072009-11-15T21:04:35.529-08:002009-11-15T21:04:35.529-08:00Another example is when a person makes similar acc...Another example is when a person makes similar accusations against a father who is now <i>dead</i>! Plus, gets on Oprah, to boot! Mackenzie Phillips, of course. I didn't follow the story after the headlines, but I'm <i>hoping</i> she had some real evidence to back up her accusations, given that her father isn't in a position to respond. If she had no evidence, then the world of American entertainment is working just like I thought it always did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
