"I don’t want to mar my children’s glory and subvert their beginnings for my so-called art" and Kate and kids in People magazine, minus Collin
Popular "Mommy blogger" and writer Elizabeth Bastos has packed up shop after realizing (with the help of one concerned grandfather) her posts were intruding on her children's right to privacy.

2057 sediments (sic) from readers:
«Oldest ‹Older 2001 – 2057 of 2057 Newer› Newest»Those poor Willis children. Now they have to live with this. I hope they have some good counselors on board for them. It's a lot to handle for anyone, especially kids.
I could, but it wouldn't show the picture.
)))))))
Believe me it is WOW!

With regards to the Willis patriarch- I wonder if we're looking at another situation where Dad knows there are skeletons in the closet, yet he can't resist the fame, money and power.
Like Jim Boob.
When the scandal breaks, the whole family is exposed.
Midnight Madness @186 - Yes it was Andrea Clevenger of TLC's Cheer Perfection. I googled her name and it turned out that, after initially being charged with the rape of a 13 year old boy, who was a family friend, she pled guilty to first degree sexual assault and engaging a child in sexually explicit conduct. She was sentenced to two ten year prison sentences. She is also listed as a sex offender.

Right? Once again I was wondering why you would put yourself out there knowing you have a scandalous secret. It's like running for office knowing that you have been embezzling.

They also keep making this accusations and claiming that Jon would pee and stick his middle finger at the school's party

Does this person know Middle Schoolers? He'd be the coolest dad around!
It's not bad luck on TLC's part. It's no coincidence. I think people who seek out this kind of extreme attention and are willing to expose so much of what should be private, must be off. And if you're off in that area, chances are you're off in many other areas. And some of those areas may be CRIMINAL.
The affinity for unstable types and reality tv is undeniable.
Does any other network that peddles reality tv like TLC does have a record that in any way rivals TLC's?
Divorce and scandals, sexual or otherwise?

I think most normal people desire, overall, private lives. I think most people get uncomfortable at excessive attention or something being public. If they had to choose, most people would NOT choose to be a celebrity or politician.
But then I think there are those people who, even with skeletons in their closet, get so brazen, so high on the fame and attention, and so sure it will never be uncovered, that they take the risk. Even ENJOY the risk. John Edwards.
I think it's a little like a burglar who gets away with three or four robberies, then keeps wanting to do it because the thrill of never getting caught is its own high. But eventually they get careless and things blow up.

I'm sure Bravo, with all the Real Housewives franchises, comes very close. But then again, they're not claiming to sponsor wholesome family entertainment. Same could be said for MTV, home of the Kardashians and all those baller and hip-hop shows. There's more than a handful of "reality" programs out there, but the others mostly don't pretend to be anything other than they are---lowest-common denominator programming.

I was thinking the same thing..it's the type of person who would want to be filmed all the time and exploit their kids. Obviously not all pedophiles, but usually narcissistic. Think balloon boy
. Obviously not all pedophiles, but usually narcissistic

Yep. Narcissism manifests itself in various ways, and just one of those ways is pedophilia or other inappropriate sexual behavior.

&&&&
Yep, that's what happened. Not that bright.
I think the situation does matter. If a girl of maybe 16 yrs old goes to a bar or other place with adults, pretends to be an adult, claims to be 18, and has sex willingly, the man might be charged with statutory rape by law but I don't believe he is a danger to kids. If there is force or a young child, then he is a predator.
&&&&
I agree. And so do the courts.
You're not a danger to your children because you're physically attracted to a developed person who happens to have not met the arbitrary definition of a "legal adult" and maybe you even didn't know they weren't an adult, and they willingly engaged in a relationship with you under no duress or force. Though it is everyone's responsibility to ensure anyone who looks very young really is 18.
Totally different story when you find yourself attracted to a young child, or force a young person to do something inappropriate. Time will tell what category Willis is in.
Admin -- legal question here. It's probably moot in the Willis situation, because he's been charged with child rape, but -- the age of consent in TN is 16. Say the "child" was 16 or 17 and it was consensual. Could he still be charged with a crime? Probably legal nit-picking, but I'm curious.
GollyGee -- I found the article and skimmed it. There is a picture of Willis accompanying, but I can see why there is also a picture of Josh Duggar. Part of the article is a recap of his scandal.

I think the age of consent in TN is 18, according to the statutory rape statute I read.
I'm not sure if there are states out there that lower that age. I thought most states use 18. I'm not talking about marriage, I'm talking about statutory rape of a minor.
In any case to answer your question, as long as the person is outside the statute you're okay. You have to look at each state's statute, they will tell you how old both the victim AND the perp have to be. In any case, "consent" is not usually a defense. That's the whole point of it, is that a minor can't legally consent even if they say they are consenting.
http://www.ageofconsent.com/tennessee.htm
And actually that goes to one of my arguments about filming reality shows featuring children. The children aren't old enough to consent even if they say they agree.
It takes a special kind of detachment from reality to take a beautiful, spiritual poem written by a brilliant, accomplished Pulitzer Prize nominee, and adapt it to be about a vile, shallow, nasty, talent-free D-lister. The depth of her delusion is actually startling, and the CWS seems to be escalating.
Kate has been replying to Milo on Instagram. Kate put a dog in the front seat just like Milo suggested. Of course Milo is basking in the attention and sending love poems. Kate needs the attention so badly that she can't resist interacting with Milo. Stupid Kate.
I didn't see that they added Josh to the article. But, when you search willis on bing, there is a picture of Josh and Anna and to the immediate right it says, TLC star, Toby Willis, dad of the "The Willis Family," charged with rape.
New York Daily News
The patriarch of TLC reality show "The Willis Family" has been charged with raping an underage girl, officials said.
Admin -- thank you. You're right -- age of consent in TN is 18 -- I was tired and looked at the wrong state on the map. The age of consent is 16 in most states. It's 18 in only 10, 17 in 8 (but in Texas it can go as low as 14 if the partner is within 3 years in age).
Wanted to take a moment to remember the tragic events of this day. Hard to imagine it's been
15 years. Many stories of heroism, strength,
hope and courage emerged in the aftermath.
So many lives lost, and others changed forever.
May those who made sacrifices, big or small, never be forgotten.

I think you're giving the sheep too much credit. The sheep is just parroting the University of Phoenix commercial they just watched while viewing Maury Povich.

Let me just say- how sad is that? Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Flimsy- nice post.
God Bless America.
I will never forget that day-the etherial beauty that upon reflection, was hauntingly perfect-that our hearts were broken and many of us knew for the first time, an unspeakable sorrow.
Yes, another September 11, a day of reflection, sorrow and determination to prevail.
NO new IG posts from K8 since the dog in the front seat. But I wonder how often someone has to go in and clean up comments like this? Constant vigilance appears to be required.
teresajeanneev You sold your kids to the devil,good thing their natural goodness will protect them
I tried finding Toby with the inmate locators in both Kentucky and Tennessee. No luck. He must be there somewhere even if recently released. Maybe a better sleuth can find him.
We saw Sully yesterday. Really good. There was a comment in the movie from I think someone from the airline union who got Sully a change of clothes and toiletries after the accident. Sully didn't seem to be grasping the impact of what he had done. The union person told him it's been awhile since New York has had news as good as this. Especially involved a airplane. Brought tears to my eyes. In many ways that miracle played a role in healing from 9-11.

This is classic Celebrity Worship. It will never be enough. When Kate throws her a bone, she wants 10. Heaven forbid Kate throws that bone and she will not just accept that, she wants more and more. She will never let up and Kate responding makes her worse.

Quite the opposite. Many couldn't have been more vague about what it is exactly she objects to. Classic victim of parental alienation. Classic. I can spot these kids a mile away. You can tell right away when they can't explain to you WHY they hate their parent, they are just brainwashed to know they do. I wonder if Mady has ever thought about, as she says, whether her words and actions embarrass Jon. They would me.

From CNN:
"Toby Willis, 46, was arrested Friday in Greenville, Kentucky. He was charged with one count of rape of a child and is being held without bond at a county jail in the same city, authorities said."
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/11/entertainment/tennessee-toby-willis-arrested/
I think the inmate locators are for those in the state correctional facilities. Everything I've read says he is in the county jail in Greenville Ky, Muhlenberg County without bond and will be extradited to Cheatham County The

In CA I can find local custodies through the sheriff's locator not the state. Anything like that there?
Reading an article about Toby Willis's arrest, on a site called back2stonewall.com, the last sentence is:; "TLC really does stand for Touch Little Children, doesn't it?". Looks like others are catching on!
You know what probably embarrasses M&C? Having their MOM trot around in a bikini on national TV,
and brag about sharing their yoga pants, and trying to act like their BFF. I would imagine that would be extremely embarrassing to a teenager who is trying to find her own identity, only to discover her mother is an arrested adolescent herself.

Yes, it did. It was frightening, and miraculous in the end.
I remember being *really* twitchy the first time we went across the Hudson River on the Weehawken ferry, going into NYC. Believe me, I was eyeballing every plane above over our heads!

Oh, and Flimsy! Don't forget her talking on the radio interview about bras for her girls. Nope, her daughters.
Don't remember if the DJ was a woman or a man.
Awful, just awful.
I, too, believe that people who become involved in TLC type of entertainment exhibit the need to have lots and lots of extra attention for the most ordinary activities. Most of us want to be left alone most of the time and enjoy family and a few friends occasionally. There is nothing normal about "reality" television. If you are interested in the Willis family background, look up what happened to Toby Willis's parents and siblings years ago in Illinois. Their horrible van crash led to the demise of Governor George Ryan's political career. Sad and interesting story.
I may be a bit out of the loop here, but who has brain damage?

Definitely.
Interesting article on adults who seek excessive attention. It suggests they were neglected when they were young children:
"Excessive attention seeking is not a character flaw. It is a brain wiring response to early developmental trauma caused by neglect.[3] The developing brain observes its environment and wires itself accordingly to survive in that world that it presumes will be like those experiences.[4] Newborns are extremely dependent on getting their mother’s attention for survival. The more their needs are neglected during early development the more the child equates getting attention with survival and safety.[5] In turn, the more he or she develops the belief system that it is necessary to go to whatever lengths to get attention.....I suspect the reason compulsive overeaters, alcoholics and substance abusers are more prone to excess attention seeking and drama addiction is because those populations are more likely to have endured developmental trauma. The important thing to realize here is that not all neglect is evidence of a lack of love. Sometimes, people only have so much they can give; sometimes that is not enough. There is healing in accepting that your parents did not give you as much attention as you required. Forgiving them for being who they were is getting to higher ground. Sometimes, you have to give yourself the attention you needed from parents. However, most importantly, at all times, remain fabulous and phenomenal."

Hm, I can get to the inmate locator, but can't get it to load. Keeps saying "Failed to open page." Guess their IT person is at church today!
Admin (#56), ahhh, maybe that's why TFW's website has been sorely neglected. She's been at church.
I can't wait until that cookbook of TFW's is available in stores. I like my hummus lemony,
and I'm hoping she might have a great recipe.
