Foxy I don't think I'd be prepared to pay Warwick Capper $1,500 for a few hours of his company, but I know a few gay guys who might. I don't think I'd pay any man any amount of money for his company. Don't get me wrong, I love men, but not enough to pay for it.

From the SMH this morning

http://www.smh.com.au/national/kyle-and-jackie-o-scandal-alleged-victim-demands-end-to-rape-investigation-20090806-eag0.html

"The 14-year-old girl whose on-air rape claims led to the suspension of the The Kyle And Jackie O radio show has told police she does not want the alleged rape investigated."

hmmmm... now, where does that leave all the "righteous anger" brigade?

As I said, the whole thing would never have even become a matter of public discussion if the girl had not claimed rape. Some may recall I asked "what if she made it up?". Does her refusal to cooperate with police mean that she did? What else could it mean?

Does this mean that Kyle and JackieO are now rehabilitated?

Antiseptic, I don't see that that should make any difference. Sticking a child on a lie detector on a live to air transmission and asking questions about their sex life is not Ok. I think some of the indignation is over stated however that does not make the programming choice Ok.

B105's morning show is currently calling for volunteers for a "freak show" for the Ekka. They have a few people lined up for that and this morning expressed an interest in getting a small person (the guy from Fantasy Island and Garry Coleman were mentioned as examples) or someone with webbed feet or fingers. More tasteful programming. Whilst it might all be fun for those involved I'm guessing that others who share the same conditions and are struggling with body image might not be so keen to be considered freaks.

Questioning a 14yr old child about their sex life, is a paedophile crime. I am amazed there are no laws covering this immoral practice.

This incident should be the catalyst, to enact new laws against this abhorrent abuse of children, by adults

the actions of this child's mother, in her questioning were sick. It's possible she was the victim of rape as a child herself, and she actually condones the behaviour, in a perverse way, because she was abused. She definitely has mental issues, and is unfit to be a mother.
She must secretly hate her child, to shame her in such a high profile way.
Kyle has shown he has no parental skills, as well, and has serious pedo issues himself

Not a shred of concern or empathy for a 14 year old child from A-septic. Nothing new there.

Hopefully the suspension of the show and the cancellation of Sandilands TV contract is the beginning of the end of shock jock antics.

I hope the the young girl and her mother are receiving help, the girl for being exploited and the mother for permitting it.

Antiseptic said "now, where does that leave all the "righteous anger" brigade?"

Come on , the primary issue is still the valid...we're talking about child abuse and public humiliation of a child for amusement/entertainment. It's still unacceptable predatory behaviour..

Even if it comes out that the show was a set up from start to finish my condemnation of it and the protagonists wouldn't change. It's a bit like holding up a store with replica for fun .....try it and see if the public/courts see the difference/humour.

Peeing on the fence posts is one thing but the show is a whole other thing. Like we don't have enough powerless victims already that we need to encourage others to go that one step more?

As for her motives well I have seen/heard at least 15 good reasons why a child in this position would lie or now want the whole thing to go away.(she's a Child)

JO and KS justified....Never! Rehabilitated? that depends on them.

The trauma for this child is palpable set up or not let's not extend her pain by making this poorly judged 'Springer program' become currency here.

the media will flog this to death regardless for News(?) we don't need to know. The vultures continue to feed on the baby.
