Personally saying you’re “mad” at Kevin when he’s come out, in his own words, & let the world know that he had no idea this was going on. His oldest daughter did though & never told him about it either & why he felt she should be charged also. He would have stopped it had he known. Instead his wife told him she needed time, for him to back off, & refused to let him see the kids & if they were to ever get back together as a family then he needed to respect her decision & feelings. She didn’t treat the kids like this while they were together & he never heard of Hildabrand harming anyone previously. He has also filed for divorce & is seeking custody of his children & following the DCF recommendations for his children. Perhaps you should worry about your children, your family, & stop “victim blaming & shaming” people you don’t even know. Jumping from one case to another. Just like Peter says, the victim blaming done by others, revictimizig all the victims by putting them on the stand, & right away, first comment, & the victim shaming & blaming has started.

    I don't believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt anymore. When someone indicates that they will hurt a child, chances are they will. They're not misunderstood or misguided. They know exactly what they're doing, and they'll do it again if authorities don't intervene. She needs to be locked away where she can't hurt anyone vulnerable ever again. In addition to that, I'm very skeptical about the father. When abusers like this get away with it for a long time, there are usually family members who were complicit, who saw what was happening, made excuses and covered for them. He probably knew.
