OHTHECHITCHAT - Yes. One girl's father killed himself because she told him and he didn't believe her and he later found out it was true. They said he also had a terminal illness and that could be why he killed himself but I bet it was out of guilt of knowing his daughter was being abused and he didn't believe her.

It's not in our place to guilt them anymore then they already feel. Stop. If a parent is already feeling the shame and guilt of not believing they don't need strangers to come and guilt them more. Everyone deals with things differently and we should all respect the grieving process no matter how late or early someone comes to a conclusion.

A lot of their families were so close with Larry they had dinners together and went on vacations and shit. They really trusted him. it's so sick

My mother ignored my pleas for help. My brother in law exposed himself to me over and over. What he did to me does not compare to what these girls went through. Not even a tiny bit. But what hurt the most is that my own mother wouldn't protect me. I pray that each and every one of these girls gets blessed with peace in their hearts for their own sake.

OHTHECHITCHAT At Least she acknowledging it. Some victimized children go through an entire lifetime being tuned out.

Crazy isn't it? I have excellent communication with my three from the time they could talk no secrets and no lies is my thing.

If their child doesn't have a parent to believe who can?

Parson Yo why not? She said she wasn't believed at first because her sister had been going to him for years. So basically instantly believing this would mean instantly accepting that there is good chance the sister was molested for years without telling the parents anything. So yeah I am sure she believed her after a bit but I can definitely see how it would take a bit of time in this situation.

Deadass Tired I'm so so sorry this happened to you. You are a child, all these horrible things happened to you, so I'm so angry at your parents - people like that should never become parents. I'm so sorry you went through that, I hope you get justice and that monster rots in prison.

During a court case when I was sexually assaulted by a "friend" my sister and my mother questioned "if it was really rape". That was when I was 19. It happens. #metoo

sammysamz21 forgiveness is hard. I didn't fully forgive my mother when I told her about sexual abuse and she didn't protect me. Believe me there was a lot of screaming. I made her cry a lot. I was very angry. Then sometimes you reach a point of thinking your parent is human and very flawed like everyone else. My mother was distracted by her own mother's deteriorating health and death and coping through that that I was neglected. It sadly happens. There isn't enough supervision. Denial plays a big part. My mother later told her friends there were signs I was being sexually abused but she kept making excuses. My mother wasn't evil. The abuser who abused me and other (now) grown women is evil. I wish more parents believed their children. I wish a lot of these issues to be avoided if the parent simply said if anyone, ANYONE touches you, says something that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe you tell me. I would hope it would save people a lot of trauma.

The sad thing is some women false report. She didn’t

That's cool

@@jane_doughnut PERIOD

Hindsight is 20-20. You don’t know what else was going on at the time or the details. That being said, it does look bad on the surface. Larry Nassar is the real POS here. Don’t forget that.

You can't blame the parents for not believing their kids. It's a HUGE thing to rap your head around.

@John Robben nah, you sound like you wouldn't believe your child about being raped so shame on you dude.

@John Robben yikes. Looks like you've been taking pointers from this guy. Better keep my kids away from you.

I agree

@@kittynicole4084 how awful to make a comment like that about someone you dont know, shame on you

she broke down because she was so sorry she hadn't believed her at the time

@@elimazing88 she should be sorry. Your daughter tells you that she was just assaulted by her doctor, and your response is that her sister has been going to him for years without any issue, so I don't believe you. What she should have done is taken her to the police station immediately to report the abuse, and ask the sister if she experienced the same thing, but didn't open up about it. I bet this would have saved dozens more girls...

lindsey s It is a moment of strength. The mother's turmoil is adding volumes of light to the abuse.

​@@alos4025 Let's not forget who the real villain is:

@@alos4025 unfortunately you cant just "go to a police station" like that and open up a case. You need to have a lawyer and you need to have substantial evidence from numerous sources to start one.

Chrissi i know right! but we cannot blame the parents for what larry did

As I understand, at least one of the girls said that her mother was in the exam room with her at the time the abuse was happening but didn't catch on--I can only think that this guy must have some serious ways of misdirecting people!

From what i understand of the doctor he most of the time covers up these assaults as a medical procedure. He is very good at presenting medical jargon to people and even makes videos of his "medical procedures". So of course as a parent you might think it to be a complete misunderstanding of a medical procedure that was performed on your child. Unless the parents do deep research on the subject it is unlikely they will think of him as anything but a medical professional. Coupled with the fact that he was recommended highly by other sports doctors and trainers and frequently befriended the children's parents.

Hey Lisa. You don't need all caps. No digital shouting in this space, okay? Second, it's nonsensical to compare abuses and consider one lesser because another is greater. No child should be molested by anyone, let alone her "doctor", wouldn't you agree? It is hard to fathom your indignation. Why don't reserve it for the pedophile?

Lisa Kowalick your comment is very disturbing. And what do you mean by “check your privilege”?

This race baiting sjw. is insinuating the systematic rape of these girls is mitigated by their privileged and or race even though not all of the victims were white. I am tired of all this sjw bullshit when are they going to realize that the enemy is the corrupt economy and forget all this trivial divisive nonsense and come together so we can slay the real enemy.

@@cerebusareba2896 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Adilene Arredondo med too. If I was her mother I would have gone straight back in to that monsters office and told him that what he just did was noticed, and that there was NO way in hell he would get away with it.

Yes I'm sure she feels ashamed & guilty but as a mom I cant imagine not believing my child who tells me they were molested. That's unforgivable . She told her mom and u dont believe ur child. ? Unless this girl has some history of accusing people ( which I doubt) no excuse u failed as a mother.

She definitely failed her daughter in that moment. But just like many of the other victims parents when they talked to him, coauthors, other Emily who worked closely with him, and they all said it could be true and manipulated the situation, that fucks with your head. The mother absolutely should of been on her daughters side and believed her over everyone else, regardless. Yes, she does feel shame and guilt, and she will the rest of her life, for not protecting her child. She knows that. But I agree with everyone tearing her down and saying extremely horrible things. I would always believe my child first, but I can’t put myself in some of those parents shoes and mindset because idk what was said to them and what they did after the fact when they were told. This whole situation is disgusting, and ugly. And I hope the prison he’s in, the other inmates rip him to shreds. And a SURVIVOR myself, I can’t understand all of their pain.

They deserve to feel shame as well. As the parent your suppose to protect your children Smh y’all are part of the problem. Hold all the adults accountable who were aware. That child neglect she was physically molested. Smh no one is attacking the parents it’s called accountability

They were weak. Too afraid to challenge a guy of Larry's standing so they buried their heads in the sand. It's not really about shaming them as Larry is the perpetrator here but they did fail to protect their kids & could've spared others from becoming victims too, let's be real.

You can just let them off though. It should be LAW that they MUST report to police if their child says they've been abused. It's a fucking DISGRACE. SHAME on you. You wicked horrible "mother". Protecting your child is NUMBER ONE. Not getting them into good schools and then hushing things up because they might cause a fucking fuss and YOU might end up looking embarrassed. You utter vile woman. They DO need blaming. Rank.

True.. but in retrospect, I think because of these women's bravery, we are all learning from this including their families. And we need to be swift in ridding the guilty, and educating those who do not know. We can't misplace our anger at a time like this. though i understand that there's a lot of anger and hurt to deal with.

Chelsea Gallo sorry but not empathy from me. If your. Hold tells you something as serious as this and you don't believe it, you should have never had children at all

Chelsea Gallo my mother believed me but also took me back to his house repeatedly after I told her and the sexual abuse occurred in the family. Parents are human. They create excuses because it's painful and their excuses are a coping mechanism. I imagine it's very overwhelming for a parent. What I see is a mother who feels horrible and a daughter hugging her mother, still connecting. I hope I don't seem like I'm lecturing. I'm trying to give a perspective. Guilt is very painful. I know my mother felt emotional pain. She went to therapy afterwords. I was very angry at her for years for not protecting me. Our relationship didn't have trust anymore. But I hope they can all heal. I think it's beautiful she hugged her mother here.

see shit up easy to talk till your in that situation!

joline solomon You ignorant moron. If my child came to me with something as disturbing as this case. You best believe I’m coming out blazing. I’m going to take my child to the hospital and call the police at the same dam time. I would go above and beyond for my child’s safety!

Sorry to hear you were abused

That's really tough. I am sorry to hear.

I feel your pain. A male teacher body-shamed me and poked at my breasts when I was 14. I told him to stop, it hurts, and he just barked at me like I was being a baby. Then he told me if I told my parents about it, they wouldn't believe me. And I felt he was right. I never told a soul about that until I was in my 30s. I wish I had because he's out there somewhere, abusing other students or his own children. :( Seriously, not child should ever have to go through that and monsters like Lassar need to be locked up like the animals they are.

I'm so sorry you had to wait until your 30s to talk about this. Blessings on you always.

@Darren Wells Me too. I was abused numerous times during my childhood and kept it inside me until I seek medical help last year. Only those who experienced it will understand. Had no one who could listen to me.

Omg this is the most awkward, terrible pun I have ever heard.

Bernard Beitia You have no idea what you’re talking about.

Well, we all pay for what we belive, isn't?

Uhhh... the truth always matters. What a foolish comment.

As you should. Just know if it’s untrue and you put the guy through the ringer it’s his prerogative to get you for everything you cost him financially and emotionally through the process. Believe your child most def just be ready for the get back if it’s not true because I know if I get a used falsely idc what the situation is I’m suing and doing everything to get them back in any legal way possible

@@justinmathis7707 I think her point you believe the child until it is proven not to be true.

@@deannarounds3295 and my point is that’s fine but if you are wrong prepared to be liable for the financial losses you create for that person.

@@justinmathis7707 I would rather err on the side of caution. I will pay the person if my kid is lying rather than have her (or him) continue to be abused while I doubt them. I worked in child protection for 10 years and so many parents do not take action and these kids are damaged for life.

no name bold of you to reduce it to that level as if hair colors make you change personalities

Shut the fuck up! Get your brain examined by Larry Nasser because it’s has gone to shits!

26humor26 correct.. You can’t just intrust your child to people even if you trust them..

26humor26 I mean several girl's were left alone in his hotel room wtf I wouldn't ever allowed that with my son's little lone a girl I blame some of these ignorant parents also!

26humor26 true

what a stupid post

Even if you choose not to believe you should never continue to send your kids to someone they saying is molesting them.

Crocodile tears

I agree with you 100%. This is also on her Mother. She is also to blame

Shes crying out of her guilt probably. At the same time anger.

I didn’t get a crocodile tear vibe. I sensed a profound guilt and self hatred. I just hope someday she is able to earn back the trust of her daughter.

Yea she’s a fat piece of worthless shit

Cherish G You should watch The Hunt (2013) staring Mads Mikkelsen.

Dude there's a reason that so many directors end up being pedophiles. There's a reason that so many child actors end up so messed up. The film making world is a haven for abusers, and a lot of them put messages in their movies that portray the accused as completely and totally innocent, children as liars, and the parents who believe them as victimizers of the innocent. That was a very inappropriate comment to make on this video.

George Spiggott very, VERY WELL FUCKING SAID!

Please consider that it's likely a form of denial from the parent- which is completely normal. No possible way that MY CHILD was abused and no possible way the doctor we had trusted for so many years did the abusing. This type of thinking and denial is very common in abuse cases.

"Mom, mr. Nassar put his fingers in my vagina." "Didn't we teach you not to make up stories? Now go apologize to that nice man." Worst parents ever! I'd never want to see them again for the rest of my life.

snowblo1 sadly that's realistic. I've found in America the culture is hyper sexualized but will not go through the effort of trying to prepare anyone to protect themselves. 1 out of 5 women are raped or sexually abused. How about karate classes for kids? How about teaching them if you feel unsafe, someone touches you and you feel uncomfortable talk to me? I've found a lot of people set children up to be abused and metaphorically speaking feed them to the wolves (even though wolves tend to take care of human babies well. No offense to wolves ;) )

thank you. that's all I am trying to say. as a parent need to be there at all time. it's important to be involve all parts of your child's life.

Anastacia Louise So wonderfully put! Couldn't agree with you more.

candy cane your sister may be a rare victim. I praise her for having the coping skills that enable her to move on. Do not be naive to think that every victim has suffered the same abuse or has the tenacity to move beyond it. Perpetrators eventually get released, the victim’s memory of the abuse never goes away.

The truth..not her truth.

Sorry that you still remembered such a horrible event. Shame your mother apparently did nothing. You're probably a better person than me I became vengeful for the people who hurt me and made sure to get them when they were at their weakest to utterly break them.

Not a mother who will stand by her daughters when her daughters really need her to be in their corner. And this young woman is stopping Larry Nassar by testifying against him.

For real, id always believe my child.

Only a giant cowardly mother who doesn't face the harsh realities would disbelieve her own kid.

Mo Diddie Her mother is sobbing full of pain for not believing her daughter. She has suffered enough

emme2795 SHE has suffered? her poor daughter was the one that suffered thanks to her.

- They both have suffered. There is no point in shaming this mother. What’s done is done and it is a lesson to parents everywhere. Predators hide among us in plain sight.

emme2795 she's probably sobbing because she feels guilt and embarrassment that soon many people are seeing what a shit parenting job she did.

Hey . Well, I´ve been putting this into perspective and we just can´t jump into simple conclusions like "Parents should have know"... i mean, its easy to think logically like that but there are lots of factors here like: This guy was in such a high pedestal, and those kids were moving in such a high competitive environment. That by the end of the day you even question yourself into thinking that you´re the one that is wrong by just thinking that such a famous "professional" is doing something wrong, it might have looked weird but the end someone on a high category in the university or the Olympic team would have told you that it´s normal, that he is the miracle guy, that you´re no doctor and he know what he´s doing and he is being doing it for the last 20+ years .. Many of us don´t even know the pain and effort Olympic athletes has to go through, that is just a different world, those kids don´t have normal lives, they just train and train and try to reach the top of what they bodies can give, and this guy was supposedly to be the magical trusted doctor, that would help them reach their dreams. Also the guy was a mastermind grooming the kids, their families and colleges. so as you can see, some cases and situations are not that evident if you don´t add the whole ingredients to the recipe

why are you so sympathetic towards the mother?? poor girl! BRAVE girl, to tell the truth even in the face of her nearest and dearest calling her a liar in her time of need!

@Harzburgitic She didn't think she was lying. She thought it was a medical procedure she was uncomfortable with.

❤❤❤in Jesus name

Exactly I try to stop watching all these but I want to hear all the stories no matter how disturbing they are idk why tho😟
