13 Year Old's Herpes Uncovers Sick Crime | Chicago Med | MD TV 

Yeah that’s mad suspicious 🤨

Hope you reported him to the licensing board in your state

That was a crime.

@@azwndrwmn9713 our new Orthodontist did. Carried more weight than a middle class mom who acted so badly in a doctor’s office. No lie. This was 30 years ago. Women are still considered hysterical when putting their foot down.

Thats wild my orthodontist when I was kid didn't even have doors on the room

This is unfortunately very true. My mom was being assaulted by a family member and when she told her mom she made her apologize to him for “making up rumors”. It definitely causes me to look at my grandma different.

THAT'S A MOM! You don't rule out anyone until your child is safe and the culprit caught! Your child's saftey & health should ALWAYS come first!

I do respect her for it. However, at the same time if I was the husband, this would be the end of the marriage for me. I wouldn't want to be married to a woman who believes I'm capable of such a thing.

@@SamI-lw9xp True, but I guess you can never be too sure. So many believe their spouses are incapable for doing terrible things because they believe to be so good. That's how so much child abuse goes undetected. That's how child victims grow up with even more issues, mental illnesses and thinking it was their fault, angry at the world, because their mothers and fathers (usually their mothers) refused to believe them about what their husband was doing to their child. With the type of world we live in, we can never instantly be too sure, especially when it's happening/happened in your own home. I personally wouldn't blame her for checking with me if I were married to her. Especially if I weren't the biological parent. If I were the parent, I'd rather be safe than sorry and potentially ruin the kid's life even more.

Until the person you’re accusing is innocent. What the mother did was great for her daughter, but terrible for her marriage. If I was that man, I could NEVER trust my wife with anything after that. I’d be going straight to the courthouse to file for papers, and find a partner that does trust me. If she has trust issues, and would actually consider her life partner that she has made vows to, she has no business in a marriage, and she needs to focus on raising her daughter. Don’t drag an innocent man into your house, then accuse him of attacking your daughter when YOU didn’t protect her.

No the words wouldn't have proved him pretty much innocent bc you hear abusers say this all the time when they feel like can't get caught. It would be the actually doing absolutely anything to help that would prove it.

@@adakoehn9101 yeah sometimes they will say those things bc they feel like it’ll make them seem less suspicious

@@adakoehn9101 there’s a Steve Wilkos episode where that happened. And STEVE STARTED CALLING HIM OUT AND MAKING FUN OF HIS FAKE ASS! I thought Steve was gonna whoop his ass. Look it up

@@BlackKnight-ll8qh Except you know those are scripted right, lol

So sad !

Nice catch

exactly, because it's too confusing...

You're probably right. Why bring that up if some part of her didn't know?

Facts

Wtf dose braces have to do with it karen

@@bearashby4451 her orthodontist was was the one who abused her, while he was putting on her braces. When they were initially trying to figure out what happened she was rambling about her braces.

@@britollefson2170 well yes I did see that but you don't know for sure

@@bearashby4451 that's kinda y it's apart of the show

@@bearashby4451 why are you defending a TV character....?

It's a show.

@@sky_beast5129 it happens in real life

Not only that but it’s like how can they possibly in such a limited window of time. Makes no sense how they can’t just get caught.

@@sky_beast5129 Did you know that there are nurses and doctors who take turns sexually abusing coma patients because they won't wake up and tell anybody? It's a sick world out there.

@@sky_beast5129 Life imitates art.

Not respect. He can't trust her again. A man that was practically the girl's step dad, mom's boyfriend, got accused, eventually she confessed it was faked, but the damage was done, and he wisely left... Single moms themselves aren't great judges of character. It'd be no respect because she brought a monster around her baby, had a baby with someone that wasn't husband material for her, and lord, what that puts the kid through...

the fact the girl moved away from her mother BUT NOT THE DAD is obvious signs the MOTHER is at fault, not the dad... You need to learn to read body language.

@Louis Kingsta You also must know, statistically, kids have a 50% percent high chance of general abuse from their mother. Besides, this wasn't the daughter falsely accusing the step dad. While it sucks for the step dads, they understand why their wife would pick their child over them... And she just jumped into that without any allegations is what feels so wrong and dirty. And bad people know they're doing bad things, it might be best to not increase their chances of them hurting your kids if single moms are a bad judge of character. If she can't trust him 100%, or he's at least not the FIRST person she'd just to thinking did this, that's horrible. And my boyfriend got abused by his mom, put in the foster care system, and was graped in his single digits age. His dad eventually was one of the first men to get full custody of their kid, but it wasn't soon enough. He doesn't exactly love his mom as much as his dad.

@Louis Kingsta dude, you've never worked with abused kids...

I'd say that it was more paranoia than "not hesitating to connect the dots". When your kid has been severely injured or abused, any parent would be paranoid and will be wary of everyone around them. Especially if the kid refuses to talk about it and hides the truth from them.

I’m so sorry 💔😞

I'm so sorry.... you're so strong...❤️

You are pure, you are clean. The idea that your innocence cannot be restored is a lie.

@@noelly89 Thank you. It took me a long time to realize that it wasn't my fault and that I wasn't dirty, that I didn't ask for it. You know all the things that you hear when rumors get around. Thank God there was no social media back then because I guarantee you I would have offed myself.

I'm so sorry you had to go through such a thing, I am sure you are in a better place now 😊

The girl's stressed out as it is, also the episode where this is from shows that they eventually get the bastard.

@@acrsclspdrcls1365 I knew they caught him and that's great, but that and her being stressed doesn't change the fact that she's going to have major trust issues after they tell her they've kept this from her, doesn't matter the reasoning.

@@felicitymorris4934 I am not claiming to be an expert, I am trying to understand their reasons. I have seen others like you down in the comments say the exact same thing. I don't know much to make an educated guess, but if you were to tell a SA victim of it it would be best to tell it to them AFTER they're released from the hospital. That way maybe things wouldn't go wrong with the recovery. At least that's what I'm getting from this.

@@felicitymorris4934 Sure but she’s 13. “Hey yeah so it turns out you were SA’d by your dentist but don’t worry, you just have an entire mouth of metal to remind you! Have fun going to another dentist!” Best to tell her gently, later. For now keep it vague at least.

There’s no real win. If you tell her, she will feel violated and awful, like reliving her trauma. Her trust in people would break. If you don’t tell her, it’ll be difficult to overcome and her trust issues are bound to be worse. Either way it’s a lose lose situation, you just need to weigh which cons are most likely to affect her specifically

They’re just waiting to tell her but still will. I guess it’s best while she recovers medically and for some people it’s better not to find out until they understand it more. I think there’s a big difference between not telling then and saying that it never happened when asked about it. I’m sorry that you experienced that and I hope you’re doing okay.

The body may remember, but that doesn’t mean the brain does. I understand why they didn’t want to tell her just yet. As far as she’s aware nothing happened, she’s still just a regular kid and not a victim. If she’s not traumatized, do not traumatize her in the sake of “it’s her right to know.” It’s also her right to a normal childhood, a bad man already tried to take it away, let her keep the childhood she can still have.

They did say they would tell her just not yet. Honestly in this situation it may be best to wait and I would hope they would do it with a psychologist present. I was sa'd as a kid and my grandmother tried to convince me it didn't happen. As I got older my mother had been taking me to see a councilor and apparently had told them about it. Thats how I found out it actually did happen and the man who did it had admitted it to police. My mom didn't know how to deal with it or how to tell me and while there will ALWAYS be trauma......I think my mom did the right thing. People who have never had it happen to them don't know how to talk about it and even victims don't always know how to handle that conversation, especially not with their own child. I can understand how you feel, like I said my grandmother told me it never happened, but they did say they would tell her and I think waiting was the right decision.

The difference is you knew and were gaslighted. This girl didn't know.

My grandma was told by doctors my mom was too young to remember. It was bullshit, she remembered everything and wasn't able start healing thanks to my grandmothers denying it until she was 40.

Not only that but, with braces... having to constantly put your daughter through the fear that the Dentist will do something to her (even though they very much definitely changed dentists)...

It would be good to explain to the daughter that something really bad happened to her, but that she will tell her when she gets older. That way the daughter is still let in with out traumatizing her further.

And the braces would be a constant reminder. It's awful either way.

@@mary-janereallynotsarah684 Oooh... I didn't even think about that. And could easily just be her teeth in general... Or falling asleep with someone else in the room... So much horrible shite could happen cuz of that Dentist who couldn't keep it in his pants. (If only she unconsciously clamped her jaw shut)

@@Breezely22 Ehh... IDK how good that'd be having that hanging over her head. I mean, she could just as easily forget her mother told her something happened if she doesn't say what it is.

Not to mention how dodgy he was being about testing her and such; why wouldn't you want her tested, got something to hide (especially considering he was alone with her).

@@Billhatestheinternet I think that part was a bit of theatrics for the show. Realistically I can't see him being like that if it was real life. It absolutely makes sense though the amount of stepdads/stepmoms assaulting their step children is fucking disgusting.

Biological parents do sometimes assault their child. So it's more possible for step parents with their step children. You can't fully trust your partner especially if you have a teen daughter. I know it's disgusting but it's really happening.

Especially a stepdad. Although there are so many incredible stepdads out there who treat their stepkids as their own, there are some sickos out there. Some even prefer to date/marry single parents to have easy access to kids.

I would’ve suspected the dentist because they have access to all kinds of drugs in their work place

I'm sorry , I hope your doing okay now

Same here

People need to understand that emotional stress can affect recovery. The decision is definitely right to inform her after the discharge, and with the right people e.g. psychologist.

@@ibizamarquina793 the mum’s reasoning was her innocence though, not how it would affect her treatment. If the mum had said she didn’t want to say anything until she was in a less fragile state then that would be fine, but it sounds like she’s intending to keep it a secret for years until her daughter is older given the comment about her innocence, which is a horrible thing to do.

Truer words ever said. I am so sorry that happened you. May God continue to heal you.

yes, i haave respect that they were probably going to wait and tell her after her school dance. just letting her have that moment

I agree. Delaying that discussion isn’t going to hurt her. A responsible parent would want their child to be strong physically and have therapy set up already.

Even if in the open space, recently I watch some news, the mothers was busy shopping, then some creep old man approached the girls and hiding behind a snack rack, he started kissing and molested the child, everything was recorded in cctv, it just some small general store, if only her mother just turn around, she would caught the act.

@@kaitokiddo9863 W T F that is crazy

Didn’t the doctor for young gymnasts SA his victims in front of their parents and the parents didn’t even realize what he was doing?

@@kalifogg6610where & when was this ?

@NEP84 oh absolutely! I just assumed that would have come up if they had found anything

By law, he can be suspended during the investigation. The ADA would be notified. They also have a say in the decision for suspension. This is usually (at the beginning) done as a leave of absence. If there is enough physical evidence; they'd then suspend him from actively seeing patients. From there it would be up to the DA to press charges; at this time his victim would need to be told. So she can get help in dealing with the trauma and possibly give evidence.

But trying to get info from a stressed out victim isn't always easy or ultimately helpful. The sketches from Polly's friends when they were still scared vs calmer were VERY different.

It’s pretend. It’s TV. It didn’t happen.

Unless she was not fully unconscious, I don't think she would know anything happened. She would certainly wonder why she was sore or injured all of a sudden. They described some pretty severe injuries. But psychologically, nothing happened to her until they tell her it did. I totally understand them not wanting to tell her yet.

They were going to follow up. The police are already there. The parents just want to hold off telling the girl what happened.

they didn't, not follow through they just didn't tell the girl about it.

It was reported lol. They did their jobs excellently and then the parents made a decision not to tell her right then. Way off base here.

It’s pretty obvious they reported it since Jay Halstead (who is a detective) interviewed the parents.

Right same with child care providers. We suspect abuse, we have to warn the center, then the center investigates, but we can bypass management in extreme cases.

I would hope he leaves her and the courts give him everything they would almost always give the woman. Really, if your spouses accuses you of such an act, the marriage is over.

@@JoybuzzerX I understand that in a way, but I also know that you don't never really know someone. Watch true crime shows and about child abuse and you will see that.

@@bobbierobinson6269 and I understand that, but after that, it's so.ething you're likely to hold against them.

This is the most reasonable approach to this I've seen. Most of the top comments are most likely from women who have never had to deal with someone associating something so vile and awful with you just because you're a guy. It's not something to cheer about. I'd understand having the light put on me in this situation but I'd still be crushed after it. I'm not sure if we'd ever be the same.

​@@JoybuzzerX That is just standard procedure in this cases and a logical first step when investigating cause this cenario it's almost always the case. No need to be so dramatic when you haven't done anything wrong, you should even anticipate this coming if you are not stupid and just accept that it's nothing personal.

But then he was completely compliant with the cops' tests. In a way, wanting to delay the pelvic exam does make sense--in the end we see that he does care for the girl as a father would, and part of that would likely be shock over her condition. Regardless of the cause, those symptoms would take a bit for a loved one to process. Add to that, not wanting to put her through any more pain, even if necessary...

@@tgbluewolf not arguing that he didn't love his daughter. But trying to prevent a medically necessary exam, under those circumstances, made it LOOK like he was trying to prevent the exam at the risk of his daughter's health and possibly to conceal evidence of the crime. No, he wasn't the perp. But his reluctance to allow treatment made him look guilty.

It's because he probs knew how invasive and scary it can be

@@bonD6002 obviously. But just as obviously his daughter's condition was failing fast. The people trying to save her life said the exam was necessary to determine what was wrong so they could save her life. The longer the exam is put off, the more likely they would fail to save her life. Choice: invasive exam or leave her in severe pain and possibly dying. Your choice.

@@bonD6002 How would HE know about a pelvic exam? She needs to start seeing the gynecologist anyways at this age. Plus, she was unconscious. It’s pretty weird he didn’t want it to happen.

You do know it’s just a Tv program.

@@paulashe61 Kudos to the writers. A lot of shows have parents making suspicious choices for the sake of drama.

It’s a tough one though. Can the relationship keep going once she’s had it in her head that he could have abused her daughter? I guess it should always be in the back of her head somewhere, even if it’s a small remote possibility.

Polygraph are really bad. I know of people who were thought guilty because they failed while the actual thief got away due to being able to live.

​@paulashe61 you do know things like this happen in real life right...smh hush

I was gonna post this exact thing.

Yeah... but if she had told him about it he could never probably get over that. 🤷 sucks either way.

I absolutely understand that he would have been questioned regardless, but being told by the wife to check you for this, and it ended up not even being him, a marriage doesn’t fully recover from that.

The Court of Public Opinion is affected the same way. Once an accusation, especially of this nature, gets out, your life is over!

I wish this was true for all parents but there are alot of sick parents who turn a blind eye to that stuff, some even sell their kids to sickos. And the scariest thing you'll be surprised is that these things happen even in developed countries like america.

You do know this is fiction, right🙂?

My friend is a strong person and bounced back but she told her mom as soon as they got in the car. I don’t remember the rest of the story. That’s why I’m picky about my doctors, if my gut says something’s up then it’s usually bc it is. Think about the Drs that work with gymnasts? There was what 20 that came out last year I think that said they were assaulted with their parent in the room bc of the angle of how he had the pt. There was also a male gymnast too. It’s disgusting

@@madamroo434 you’re a lot of fun, aren’t you?

@@madamroo434 my mom was literally SA’d by a dentist as a child. These things aren’t impossible

The people who SA'd me were "good" too, so good no one believed me. What frickin 8 year old back in '88 would've even had a clue what SA even was?? I learned two things from that... 1 - even people who "love" you can hurt you, and 2 - it doesn't matter if you tell the truth, if they don't believe you, you still get into trouble. I also learned how to be a really good liar to prevent that gut-wrenching heartache from ever happening again. That was actually worse than the SA tbh...

It's why I'd be afraid of getting put under. Just numb my jaw and go.

imok,this is why i never left my childerns side,the doctors had no say in it,nobody had a say in it,i made it clear form the start that i was not leaving thair sight,over night im staying right by the bed all night.all because of shows like this.

Do dentist use general anesthesia? And usually dentists have assistants too.

I hated how paranoid our parents were when we were kids but I'm kinda thankful now. My parents would never let us leave the house without the proper supervision. Our parents were doctors so most of our medical needs were done by their friends who were also doctors. Its a cruel world man. How can you trust anyone in this world?

@@MsAZYou It has recently happened in Brazil a horrible case where a men would assault their patient when they'd be nocked out while they were *giving birth to their baby.* The men was the anesthetist in the surgical room, and while the other doctors would be doing the surgery, he'd put his private's part off and rub it in the mother's face. So it doesn't really matter rather there are people in the room or not. This kind of things happens, sadly, all the time, everywhere.

@Olivia McDonagh So very true.

Let the girl get out of the hospital and heal before being told something she's going to carry with her for the rest of her life. They only want to wait a bit before telling her, that's all.

I used to be a dental assistant. Many pediatric dentists won't let the parents in, because they either gas, strap the kid to a papoose board or both.

He should leave her

@@littlepenguinowo1819 He shouldn't, he should understand that unfortunately the most common perpetrator of these kinds of crimes is a person the child knows. It's common sense that they HAVE to at least check

@@MariAnimates you think that makes the situation any better? If your partner suspects you then you leave. There is no repairing that bridge. He should therefor leave.

@@MariAnimates its like a man demanding a paternity test. Many men are fathering children that are not theirs. If you get a paternity test done it's logical and the woman should understand, but the trust has been broken, the bridge has been damaged beyond repair and the more it's used the closer it gets to collapse

@@littlepenguinowo1819 sure....except that this is a CRIME against a CHILD and therefore all leads and avenues must be examined. There's no crime committed if you want to get a paternity test.

Hope if you are married and someone tells the husband the kids may not be his, you dont judge him for not being in denial and wanting a paternity test

​@@craigclermond8001 this hit you hard huh?

@@asandwich6823 it hits most men hard. Not sure why you would think pat fraud is a minor thing. Thats like me making fun about a fem who experienced assault.

i agree !

I'm the oldest of six, and I go to appointments with them frequently. I bought a small button that links to my phone, and if they feel unsafe in any way, they click and it sends an alert. You can get these sorts of things on Amazon, it's good to teach the younger kids not to click it for fun though. But yeah, it's actually helped before with one of my sisters, thankfully she wasn't harmed but we got my parents to switch doctors.

I don't want to scare you, but after I was assaulted as a kid, I overheard my mother say to the police "I have 5 daughters, it's not a matter of If, it's just When" and I felt so betrayed in that moment that she didn't warn me - that nobody warned me - that it caused me a lot of emotional and psychological trauma. Please warn your daughter about this sort of thing, and do it younger than you think, younger than you want to. I was 9, and that year was the first year in school that we had sex-ed. thankfully I already knew at that age that what happened wasn't my fault and would never be my fault, but that's more my autism speaking than anything my parents or society instilled in me - in fact I remember having to constantly affirm that I knew it wasn't my fault to others when I spoke about it, which cast more doubt in my mind than the original incident (again likely the autism). But yeah, just to make my point again; for me at least, not being warned felt like my mother didn't care about me enough to warn me, or assumed I would know how to handle it bc I was 'so mature for my age' etc, and it felt and still feels like the ultimate betrayal in our relationship. Edit: I finished the clip (paused to type comment) and saw the mum talking about wanting to protect her innocence - I understand that, but at least for myself personally, I would rather have my parent gently peel back my innocence in a safe environment then have it brutally ripped away from me on a street corner surrounded by strangers, or in my house after the fact overhearing conversation about myself with the cops. Please, anyone who reads this; treat your kids like adults, with full autonomy and rights to information (in an age appropriate format) about what could happen. We talk about traffic safety and general stranger danger already with kids, but we don't talk about s*xual stranger danger with girls, and that's something I personally needed the most when I was a child.

Oof. I would go to a dentist office without doors. I went to an orthodontists where the office was open to the hallway (that led to the waiting room hallway). Also, you could treat multiple patients in one room. So there was more than one patient and doctors there at the same time. Only downside was hearing other patient’s with low pain tolerance scream at times. Most dentists offices in AZ have open doors.

My mom didn’t date until we were 18. She did this because she was single and she feared any person she dated could use her to get close to us and hurt us. She’s remarried now, and our step Dad is wonderful. Just be honest with your daughters and let them know what they need to stay safe. I’m sure you’ll be a wonderful Mom.

The list of common sense is long when you have no common sense

​@@Mr.Brightside83They were told beforehand that they were not allowed in the room; that's assuming they'll be in the way which is VERY strange: young kids often behave better in medical check ups or procedures if their parents are in the room with them, because their parents can reassure them that it will be okay. Because of that, not allowing the parents to come in right from the start is a huge red flag in my opinion. The assumption that parents will get in the way only makes sense when the person doing the procedure is unprofessional and frequently gives parents a reason to intervene by not treating the kids well. A small number of parents do get in the way when they shouldn't, those can get send out when they do that. And they can wait outside at following appointments.

After reading the comments here, I'd report that. Maybe consider reporting those dentists OP 🤔

Some dentist let them have it be an option based on what the kid wants. but I agree if theor a toddler a baby or little kid the parent should be their woth their child.

If they don’t you better find a new dentist.

It's hard to focus if the parent gets emotional or asks a million questions during the procedure but many dentists will let the parents watch real-time on video. It can also be traumatic for the parent to watch a dental surgery on their child

It's not that the dentists don't LET it. Most health care professionals just know that most kids don't want their parents there

My orthodontist asked my mom if she wanted to go with me. My mom always asked me. Usually I didn’t care. My orthodontist also had open rooms… either just half wall partitions separating the chairs or individual rooms with no doors. They also only ever used Novocain when I got my braces. I’ve never heard of anyone being given gas or put under for merely getting braces. Usually that kind of stuff is used only for oral surgeries like have wisdom teeth taken out.

Lol me! I watch one video and then I’m stuck for hours watching all the recommended ones! Never seen the show before just the RU-vid videos lol. Same as getting stuck watching House MD clips lol.

I had no intention of watching this series nor the other...PD and Fire...but have been hooked on all 3 that my PVR is running out of space..I cannot watch them wuick enough.. hehehe

Well...I love these highlighted clips of the show on RU-vid lol

definitely true. when I broke my hip it took most of my mental energy just to exist for the months in bed. adding on to it starts going into cruelty at that point

Although it might be high risc for someone else to be assaulted while waiting.

Right😢 My son is on the spectrum and I didn’t tell him until he was 13. I threatened to tear the IEP’s teams throats out if they mentioned autism😂🤦🏽‍♀️ He finally figured out he was different and I had to tell him😒

I disagree she needs to know what’s going on

Smart doctor!

But does she tell the dad that she suspected he did it?

@@css31069 Any man would know he's the suspect simply because he lives in the household.

It's not like they're really going to have a choice. The nurses and doctors are mandated reporters which means the detectives are going to come around start asking her questions and she's going to find out in a day or two anyway.

Why would you tell her that’s so moronic and only would hurt her mentally

Leaving your family fatherless while you sit in jail is piling on more suffer for them though.

You'll understand stand when you have your own kids someday, there's just some things you can't do/tell your child. One wrong response can ruin their perception on life and or rob them of their innocence and change them forever. Your job is to protect them from the harsh reality until they're ready to be able to comprehend it.

@@thewrathgod5610 I'm not sure. Sometimes people find out, or start remembering something like this once they're adults and it's really much harder for them to heal from something that happened long ago in the past. I'd prefer to start therapy as a teen, with a possibility to heal from it, than having to waste my adult years for healing. I'd feel like I was living a lie all those years, probably wondering if there's something else that was kept from me.

I don’t think that they intend on leaving it for five years or something. I think that they just want her to recover a bit, go to her dance, and then tell her. She will have to testify in court, or at least talk to the cops.

@@thewrathgod5610 if she's been sexually assaulted her innocence is already been robbed from her. So at that point you should tell her when she's home and you have a therapist lined up.

@@thewrathgod5610 I'm an adult and I have a daughter and I was abused in basically growing up. I get what you're saying but also I wish someone had explained these things to me sooner and gotten me help but nobody did. I even went through court and testified against one of the people who SA'd me when I was 10 and nobody put me in therapy. I just had to deal with it and I'm still dealing with it now at almost 28. If, God forbid, this happened to my daughter I would make sure she knew I was there for her and get her therapy asap and help her heal in whatever way she needed. Also in the case of the show, the girl needs to know in order to go to court and convict the orthodontist. Plus it would probably be on the news. So they couldn't keep it from her very long anyway.

Exactly! Just goes on to show how little people actually care about women's safety, well being. The same idiots would've been bashing the mother had she not suspected anything.

Then you should know in developing nations girls/women are hush hushed for the sake of those petty mens’ reputation. This goes both ways. Yes, I understand innocently accused men suffer from being wrongly accused but do you really expect a mother should worry about family honour, reputation over her child? You know, it is reasons like boys/men take advantage of girls/women. This shame and people not believing is what makes the victims go silent and live the trauma till their death. Someone always has to lose- perpetrator or victim.

@RainbowJam you do realize it was not the stepdad. It was the orthodontist.

The vehement and vocal "not all men" crowd is just a couple of angry arguments away from actually committing the crimes they try to brush off by using the phrase "not all men".

​@@wtogspedersen860 yes but you do realise that in 90% cases it's someone who knows the victim and too many kids just never tell anyone because they're not believed. She might not be a perfect wife but she's a good mother and a good human.

and emotionally*

Calm down it’s a TV show

​@@TreyParkersBitch happens in real life too

You had the option? Man I've wanted to be put under for a bunch of dental work but they never do it.

Same for me, 3 wisdom teeth and 4 premolars went out in one procedure with me being fully conscious. I even went to the bathroom in the middle of it to the horror of the kids in the waiting area.

It's really weird to me that people in the US are put under anesthesia for a tooth removal or braces. In Europe they just use local numbing, like why is being under even necessary? It just has not to hurt you, yes it does feel weird but so do many other procedures, you can survive it. My mom had a couple removed with just local numbing, and because no anesthesia was needed she also drove herself back home as soon as they finished. Much less trouble for everyone involved.

@@Paula-um3js In this case, the person needed to have their gums cut open. Sounds like impacted wisdom teeth. That’s not a simple extraction. It’s pretty much surgery.

I’ve never had a dentist work on my teeth alone. There’s always a dental hygienist in there. And my dentist office has either an interior window in the room or is doorless, so this wouldn’t happen.

😂😂😂😂😂

@@grlnexdoorable Use your words, friend. I have no idea of what this means

I never noticed that, I assumed he was being overly protective since his wife was falling apart.

Always ask for a female hygienist or nurse to be in the room…

@@MsTinkerbelle87 agreed I may be a guy but even I'm paranoid, gotta have more than one person on the room and always bring some one with you.

This is why parents need to always be in the room with their child

I always ask for multiple people in the room. I don’t care about gender though because my brother was assaulted by a female dentist while he was asleep. Luckily another dentist (a male dentist) saw what happened and stopped it. I don’t judge people based off their gender.

not only to the girl but to all his potential other victims....can you imagine her guilt issues later if she learns she could have helped others and her mom said no

Google reviews are your friends.

And when they are thirteen and above will you still go in as they can't be alone without mommy? Kids grow up, don't be one of those idiotic helicopter parents.

@@NotMykl yeah they should definitely leave their drugged up child alone so theyre not a helicopter parent. Makes perfect sense.

@@NotMykl hope nobody leaves their kid alone with you 🙄

Wtf

I can somewhat agree when I was 14 I was at dentist, the guy was very weird and I felt uncomfortable. He was refusing to let my mum in the room

I hope you stopped seeing him

Google reviews.

Plot twist was amazing

Yes 🙌

So you’re saying all Men are predators? That if one of the assistants was a man you’d feel unsafe because naturally as a man he would have assaulted you? Disgusting.

@@Anonymous_Passerby Well... the statistics aren't exactly in y'all's favour. Even men feel uncomfortable in vulnerable positions with other men (massages, for example). I wonder whose fault that is _sips tea_

@@Anonymous_Passerbylmao

Especially when they admit they were doing it themselves at a young age

13 is extremely young though. My mom would be like this too because she knows me. I know other kids do it but a parent should know their child.

13 is often young though and often another 13 year old may not be contaminated with an STD yet two kids having their first time often ends up in pregnancy more often than stds

But at the same time, he daughter would be furious to know her mother kept that from her, especially after catching an incurable disease from the assault.

@@StealthMode3924 but if she doesn’t remember the assault why traumatize her? :(

@@MsTinkerbelle87 that is a very serious event to keep from the victim. If I were victimized and especially suffering an incurable disease from the assault, I would be furious with my parents for keeping that information from me.

@@StealthMode3924 it’s a tricky situation. I think it’s a damned if you do and damned if you don’t. There is no way to know the right thing to do. You can only do what you think is best for your child. I know I would want to know if it happened to me, but I understand the parents wanting to wait telling her for her mental health. In their mind they are doing what’s best. While I would be upset if they kept it from me, I’d like to think I could understand with time that they were trying to protect me even if they did it the wrong way in my mind. There is no way to “win” here. They can’t know what she would want without telling her. She is just a child. It’s an impossible choice.

If the perp is arrested and tried for the crime, how could it possibly be kept secret from the victim?
