Yep, that girl was a "family friend" and never even a patient.

So he wasn't even using the "treatment" excuse with her. Her parents were friends with Nassar and did not believe their daughter when she told them about the abuse. Everyone just thought he was some sort of great guy. Unbelievable that he had so many people fooled. The girl's father killed himself shortly after all of the allegations came out.

How can so many parents not be aware of what’s going on w/their little -- Hoakie82 01/24/2018 3:15PM

I think at least two girls did tell their parents but the parents didn't -- 81_Hokie 01/24/2018 6:02PM

Because they're telling them to be the best and not complain and whine? ** -- `lag 01/24/2018 4:50PM

Because victims don't talk about it? -- Manbearpig 01/24/2018 4:19PM

Yup. No different than how long the stuff in the Catholic church went on. -- Tafkam Hokie 01/24/2018 6:04PM

Yeah, kids naturally listen to adults -- Manbearpig 01/24/2018 6:35PM

Were his victims at Michigan State MSU students? -- Late 80s Hokie 01/25/2018 07:41AM

Yes, multiple MSU athletes. Gymnasts, rowers, softball players. -- BostonHokie2004 01/25/2018 10:54AM

If you really think about it, it is probably more surprising when an adult -- Tafkam Hokie 01/24/2018 6:38PM

Yeah, I'm sure the cases never reported vastly outnumber those caught -- Manbearpig 01/24/2018 6:55PM

I never put myself in that position but I’d also never let one of my kids -- Hoakie82 01/24/2018 7:15PM

Easy to be absolutist when you have no experience with kt -- Manbearpig 01/24/2018 7:23PM

Not buying it. That conversation w/your kid needs to be had over & over. ** -- Hoakie82 01/24/2018 7:34PM

"No one can touch you other than mom, dad, or the doctor." -- BostonHokie2004 01/25/2018 10:56AM

The kid should know to tell both parents if anyone touches them including -- Hoakie82 01/25/2018 2:46PM

Again, easy to live in this fantasy -- Manbearpig 01/24/2018 7:42PM

It’s not on the kid. It’s on the parent to ask questions & stay watchful. ** -- Hoakie82 01/24/2018 8:32PM

Asking questions still requires the kid to answer -- Manbearpig 01/24/2018 10:45PM

I have strong feelings about adult women who remain silent, too. You can’t -- Hoakie82 01/24/2018 10:51PM

You can only get to multiple victims if the first or second first ten -- fordham 01/25/2018 09:20AM

Exactly! It’s a crappy situation for them but it’s also their civic duty to -- Hoakie82 01/25/2018 2:32PM

He was considered the world's best gymnastics doctor -- BostonHokie2004 01/24/2018 4:04PM

I think it comes down to a combo of shame... -- hokeeron1 01/24/2018 3:41PM

One mom actually SAW and said something to him -- Nova Hokie 95 01/24/2018 4:16PM

Idiots often feel stupid & she was one if she let it go. Shame on her! ** -- Hoakie82 01/24/2018 7:19PM

Him being a doctor is probably a big part of it. We don't question doctors -- Tafkam Hokie 01/24/2018 5:32PM

Maybe you don’t but I darn sure question docs. They’re just people. ** -- Hoakie82 01/24/2018 7:21PM

Unreal. ** -- reestuart 01/24/2018 5:03PM

That's really difficult to comprehend... -- hokeeron1 01/24/2018 4:29PM

I’d kill him. ** -- YardBird 01/24/2018 4:19PM

Slowly, if you could keep your wits about you. ** -- thankbud 01/24/2018 4:25PM

He's not long for this world. Either takes himself out or the inmates will -- Brown Water 01/24/2018 4:21PM

Yep, he won’t last long. ** -- YardBird 01/24/2018 5:05PM

That makes me ill ** -- Brown Water 01/24/2018 4:17PM

Imagine how the mom feels -- Nova Hokie 95 01/24/2018 4:19PM

Yep, that girl was a "family friend" and never even a patient. -- BostonHokie2004 01/24/2018 4:43PM

Now some guy will wreck him from behind -- Manbearpig 01/24/2018 4:21PM

Yep, that girl was a "family friend" and never even a patient.
