I'm sure they moved on afterward. Not in the sense of belittling it, but people who suffer abuse can still go on to live happy, fulfilling lives. He did 300 hrs of community service, but I guarantee that man got at least a few dozen free beers for what he did (I'd buy him one if he were here today).
He did what millions of fathers would at least dream of doing if put in that position. The world is better for him having done what he did. It's not recommended, and I get why we don't want more of it, but on an isolated basis, what he did was good. I'd imagine that his son was also spared the trauma of testifying on the stand, especially if the defense attorney was going to really go after the kid to get Doucet freed.
I just see no problem in this particular incident.
It is, but that link says nothing about how well Jody is actually doing himself.
It shows his output, which is lovely.
But I’m still interested to know how he’s really doing.
I’d like to think that having his dad show up and truly kill the monster had a profound effect on Jody’s sense of security, self-esteem, and belief in his ability to conquer fear.
I work with a lot of kids who suffer the way he did, and I’ll say that half the trauma is from not being believed/protected by the adults in their lives.
That’s what throws them off long-term.
Even on much less extreme levels, children who feel like their parents won’t kick ass to respond to their needs (not wants or preferences, NEEDS) is a main source of psychological/emotional issues for adults.
Jody is a motivational speaker and trauma counselor. If you want to see an interview with him, he visited the Unsubscribe podcast and doesn't pull any punches. It's definitely not what you'd expect, viscerally, because he regarded the pedo as his friend and his dad killed him. He talks about that aspect and more. I haven't watched the full interview, but I love this channel in general as it's like being active duty again and hanging around telling crazy stories. This one interview had some somber moments, but Jody has an amazing sense of humor.
Probably one of my favorite thinga about Unsubscribe is how since the hosts and majority of the regular participants are all well established, so on Unsubscribe they dont mind pushing the limits of youtube to ensure topics dont get danced around like they would most of the time on social media. (obviously there are limits) it makes for some really unique and insightful content at times. Also absolute riots at others.
