"Be a good girl for Mommy" was the last thing she heard her mother say. She saw him approaching her, and she looked at her mother in confusion, then in fear as he took her in the bedroom. "Mommy HELP ME!" "Be a good girl for Mommy" is what her mother whispered to herself, as she tried to ignore the pleas of help from her daughter. "I've done what he's asked me to, he won't leave me now."
In the next room, the young girl looked at the man in trepidation as he looked at her with lust in his eyes. He touched her, groped her, muffled her screams and robbed her of inonocence. She laid there and tried to put herself in another place. She remembered going to the park, riding the rides, where she felt so free, but the tears rolling down her face reminded her that she was currently being held captive. Afterwards she lay there, paralyzed with pain, he exited the room a sick smile on his face.
Her mother ran to him, "I did good right?, you won't leave me". He said "you did real good, I will stay as long as you let me have BOTH of you." Scared to be alone, she agreed, her daughter walked out the room, looked at her mother, hatred reflected in her eyes, their relationship, much like her innocence irretrievable and beyond repair.
How many young Sisters does this happen to on a daily basis? Their innocence sacrificed so what? Mama can have a man, after all "mama gotta have a life to right?"
Then we wonder why our daughters have low self esteem, why they lie on their backs for validation or acceptance. Are we as women that lonely for someone to lay with that we offer our daughters as consignment? Are we that desperate to be touched that we call our daughers liars, when they come to us, telling us what our so called "man" has done to them? Are we that blinded by our own personal needs that we accuse our daughters of seducing HIM? Sadly, many of us ARE! We are worried about the pimps in the street, but what about the Mothers, that double as MADAMS!
Too many of our children are being raped, molested and sodomized by men that their mothers failed to investiagate, all because Mama was "lonely." Is your loneliness worth the terror your children might face at the hands and actions of a sick and twisted pedophile?
Sisters, be more mindful about who you decide to bring into your houses, don't compromise the safety of your daughters and sons, because you don't have a man. Be patient and wait on God to bring the Man He created specifically for you. You can have a " man" in your house, it doesn't mean he will be a GOOD man.
Your children are not for sale nor or they for sacrifice. As mothers we are supposed to protect our children from harm, not PLACE them in harms way. Look beyond YOUR flesh, and protect your children so that THEIR flesh will remain free from tamper and harm.
Peace.

My View: Mama needs a man, but NOT at the expense of her child. Too often, mothers put their desire for a man ahead of their child(ren). If a mother bear protects her young on instinct, what's some women's excuse for putting a man over their child? That mess is foul. I'm calling it like I see it and saying he's not a man, but a MONSTER. A monster is someone too evil to be considered human, and a pedophile fits the profile of a monster; they prey on defenseless children. A consolation prize is that prisoners exact the same punishment on child sex offenders when they get to prison, that is if they make it through the day. In many instances, child sex offenders are killed the day they get behind prison walls because in prison culture, sex offenders who harm children are looked at in extreme disgust. Women need to be very careful who they let into their lives because children come first. If he's an upstanding man, he will respect that. In many cases, that man will love that child like (s)he was his own. The touching part of this story is the child's hatred for mom reflected in her eyes, because she allowed this animal to violate her. You know the saying Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? That is what this girl will grow up, scorned. Unless she can find forgiveness in her heart towards this animal AND her mother for allowing this atrocity, all men better look out because she's on a warpath of anger & bitterness. Every man she meets will have to pay for the sin of this animal. A mother's desire for a man SHOULD NOT come before her child(ren). THAT PART.
