I am inclined to believe he has always been, at least to a certain extent, degenerate but the company he kept just increased that tendency. He was making up his own morality when he first started when he would spurg out about certain heretical beliefs he had that the Church rejected. He defended the idea of God being a sinner which sounds to me like he wanted a faith that was tailored to his own proclivities. Of the god he serves can't hold him accountable, then no one can. But that's just my theory.
Do you even know the process?
Why would he want his kids back? He always bitched and acted like they were a complete burden to him. He's probably happy they're gone, the absolute scum bag.
Ideally, but five foster children is a huge burden for anyone to take on both financially and in terms of emotional and physical commitment. Hopefully there is something that can be done, or this situation isn't as bad as it seems and that won't be needed, but I'm not confident.
I think it was mostly the alcohol and the fame. Once the train starts and you become addicted it doesn't stop, you lose your inhibitions, you stop being able to give a fuck about anything that isn't your vice of choice, and an addict recognizing their addiction of their own volition often won't happen until things start going very wrong. Combine that with his newfound success and perceived untouchability and you create a man who thinks he's on top of the world, can do no wrong, and does not have the ability to understand what would even be wrong to do anymore.
The only evidence for diddling at this point is circumstantial. However, those circumstances are swinging, drugs, drugged up kid, which are all perfect ingredients for diddling to have been the case.
To my knowledge they only found powder cocaine and not crack or evidence of crack making.
Okay, just to play devil's advocate here, the most reasonable explanation for a positive hair follicle test may be that the metabolites are the result of a prescription medication.
In support of this,
In argument against this,
- Being prescribed Adderall is a valid defense as to why urinalysis will test positive for methamphetamine (which is not cocaine, but there are similar cases with cocaine).
- 9-year-old had narcolepsy, where stimulants may be prescribed. Unsure, but I think also ADHD?
- If she is the only one prescribed a -caine suffix medication, that would explain why she is the only one that tested positive.
- Managing drug addicts is effectively the #1 job of the criminal justice system. I find it difficult to believe that the tests do not pull a list of her prescriptions and cross-reference that against her results, especially in the extraordinary case of a 9-year-old testing positive.
- This defense does effectively require the state to lie by omission.
If she was temporarily prescribed a -caine suffix medication like Lidocaine or Novacaine for a routine procedure, that may not show up on her Rx list but would be in her system? But if that's true, would it show up in the quantities demonstrated by the results?
Edit: Dyn is highly qualified to speak on this. If he says there's no chance of false positive, I believe him.
plus we've had the last 6 months of his visible decline on screen. It really puts a damper on any "they made it up" argument
That sounds very smart, but apparently the actual oral bioavailability is somewhere between .2 and .6, so we're talking about at most a factor of 5 lower than the absolute theoretical maximum. (Coca leaves were traditionally chewed or used to make tea, by the way.)
The leaking doesn’t help either.
The act of doing the test is completely automated. The act of taking the sample out of its bag and pushing buttons on the machine is not. That means that there are 5-6 steps that a human has to take in each of these tests:
"He's on the internet and I don't like him" seems to be what passes for circumstantial evidence of child rape these days.
I don't know about an intrusive rapekit test but guaranteed they at least had her sit down with a child psyche to ask questions about people putting things where they shouldn't go.
This is an oversimplification. They put a ceiling on the dopamine release so it appears the children are calmer, but in reality, they're just not hitting those deep non-excitable and excitable states.
