Begs the question how old the senator's son was when he was abused. Before or after his adoption?

Factfinder2

Exactly.

Vindicator

No word for the victim from the Senator?

Factfinder2

A very good point, and it's a glaring omission, especially since the senator purports to care so much about kids:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Syverson

"Under a Charity Fund created by the Senator, and funded by giving up portions of his salary, he has been able to raise money to build neighborhood playgrounds for schools around his Senate district."

More places for him to hang out.

Finally, someone gets my sick sense of humor to a point. You channeled my thoughts exactly. It should not be a joke, but it is!

carmencita

Yeah, its sick and mean, which is intended on my part. It sounds like a sick joke, but I bet he would love to do it, if he could get away with it.

think-

I couldn't help laughing, but you're right....

carmencita

I know. Somethings are funny but not that type of funny. I pictured him in a raincoat with a bag of candy. Sick.

Oh_Well_ian

hmmm... Red Flag goes up for the Dave Syverson passing down the family business

carmencita

My immediate thought. Way too obvious and since when is pedophilia a mental health issue. NOpe. Can't get rid of the problem with years of therapy. NOpe. You can create it with years of hardcore abuse though.

Factfinder2

Yup.
