One gay couple in the news? You do know there are straight couples that abuse their kids, and a sickening amount of fathers in straight marriages who rape or sexually assault their children.

It was significant simply because that couple had been highlighted previously as paragons, and they put that kid through hell.

But it's a great coincidence that it happened to the one in the news isn't it? I mean I'm sure it happens But it is very rare amongst biological parents

It's not that rare. Unfortunately there are many pedophiles and abusers in this world. Don't forget about the biological parents that beat their children.

You would think that if they're biological parents they'd be hardwired to never harm their children, but unfortunately that's not the world we live in.

At least 2.9 million child abuse cases a year in the US. The statistics get broader when you see how many are ignored and not counted because social workers have too many cases/ignore it.

I completely disagree with this. The evidence is clear. A non-biological parent in the home is one of the, if not the biggest predictor of child sexual abuse. And two is worse.

I disagree. Show me your proof.
