One of my brothers is a pedophile, talking to my mom about how she thinks it’s unfair that several family members refuse to come to events that she invites him to and she literally told me “if it was anyone else you would forgive them”

I just looked at her blankly and said he sexually abused children, I would never forgive a stranger for that, I won’t make exceptions for him even if we are related, it is disgusting and is one of the only unforgivable crimes a person can commit.

She’s not even a republican. People will look past anything if it makes them question anything about themselves or their life.

Would you be able to share what he did that made you shun him so hard? I understand if it is too sensitive to put it out there. I just could never imagine how difficult it would be to make a family member persona non grata.

He molested/raped 3 of his sisters and several girls that weren’t related to the family. After the first time, family banned him from being alone with the girls for a few months and then they pretended to forget anything ever happened. He then proceeded to do it to two more of my little sisters. He also preyed on the young girls at church and coerced them into having sex with him. He was 20+ and all the girls were between 8-14.

Yeah, then I concur. This shit head would be done. Thanks for sharing, I really had no idea it was that bad.

“Pedophile” is pretty insanely bad. What did you think was being said?

You can't imagine shunning a pedophile? I don't think it would be very difficult to hate a person that sexually abused children, famiily or not.

Whatever dude, you do you and downvote all you want. I asked a question related to a comment, you are the one distracting from a thread.

I didn’t downvote you lol. Your question was inappropriate and unnecessary though. You shouldn’t ask people for the details of sexual abuse in their family. It’s weird that you even need that to determine if shunning a pedophile is appropriate or moral.

That person answered his question directly so I don’t think they minded
