I don't think many people would disagree with you. This story made my blood boil when I saw it. The d-bag didn't even look remorseful.
Almost as bad are the remarks from a woman who worked as his nurse: ..""If something had happened, it hasn't affected them in any way," Little said of her oldest daughters, now 11 and 16, who have told her nothing happened. "I don't know what I'm going to gain from knowing that he had done something to one of my kids.".... Is she crazy or just afraid to find out?
id imagine her comments are some sort of denial she is experiencing maybe? I don't know I could see this tearing a lot of families apart, the guilt alone eesh.
I think Lucky is right, it is some sort of denial mechanism. But I think it is protect the doc whom she probably admired. I've personally known people who do this for different reasons (admiration for someone's apparent piety, their intelligence, or simply because they were the elder). They can't bring themselves to confront the evil of man when it has been wrapped in a facade of <insert quality worthy of adoration here>. It is a sickness I have found many people suffer from.
