Women, If You Found Out One Of Your Friends?

Question

was friends with a child molestor who also beat his wife and kids, and went to jail for it, would you still continue to be a friend to her?

What would you think of her?

What would You do?

Answer 1

Wow...It depends on whether the friend knew about her other friends behaviour or not.

If the friend did know, no I couldn't remain friends.  The offences are too serious and I'd think that my friend was condoning the behaviour by remaining friends with the offender.

Definitely not, it's too sickening.  How can anyone remain supportive of a child and wife abuser?

Answer 2

No I would not speak to said Friend. Their is only room in my life for people I feel OK exposing my children to.

I would simply walk away from the relationship.

Ive left many a person behind due to their influence on my children and lifestyle choices.

Answer 3

nope...I couldn't remain friends with he or she after the child abuse...

Answer 4

oh h**l no.

Answer 5

Maybe she thinks this guy is reformed,or maybe he has manipulated her thought process in some way. I wouldn't be too quick to judge her.I'd want to find out what was going on in her head before kicking her to the side. It seems a lot of creeps have an unexplainable effect on people,like Charles Manson.

Answer 6

Given that she knows his behaviour I'd have to say no I wouldn't continue to be her friend.  

I would feel that by staying with him she's condoning his behaviour and I cannot accept that from my friends.

Answer 7

Yes, I would. She didn't cause or benefit from his actions. She just may have made a bad choice in men therefore I couldn't judge her anymore than I could a woman who chose to stay in an abusive relationship. For all I know, the guy she's dating may have been trying to turn his life around and set things straight. It may have taken her love for him to want to change and I don't believe in a life long punishment for something when you're trying to rectify your actions.

I'd probably wonder what she saw in the guy and I'd ask her. If what she saw in him seemed to make sense, I'd applaud her for going outside of what I considered the norm and giving the guy a fair chance. If it didn't make sense, then I'd think she had some personal issues and as her friend, I'd try to help her with them until she said she didn't want my help.

I wouldn't do anything unless the guy beat on her or tried to intimidate me in any way. If he was walking the straight and narrow, I may be a little leery of him initally but I wouldn't treat him or her any differently than I would anyone else.

Answer 8
