I agree not enough is said about the opinions and wishes of the parents. I can only guess that they do not mind the situation and they do not consider him a criminal. It seems that they had to go to Kansas with the girl to approve her marriage to this man and they are ok with it. I dont know enough about this case to form a better opinion.. but from what I have read the parents are ok with it. If another source says the parents have made objections to their daughter marrying this man or the source says that the parents of the girl forbade the 2 of them from seeing one another then I would say hes a criminal. Right now hes just a gross man who under the umbrella of "limited capacity" may or may not be functioning at the level of a normal 22 year old. Same for the 14 year old.

If they are after this man why arent they after the parents as well? They permitted their child to marry this man. If its statutory rape would their permission of allowing their child to marry this man AND going to another state to do it not be child endangerment?

I really want to know more about the status of the parents. If they are also retards then Id like to see the state prove that the parents are fit. If they are fit to be parents then I would have to say its a shitty situation and the man is totally disgusting but thats their life. If they are unfit I would like to see the case go to trial and the man and parents punnished for the rape charges.

I dont agree with the situation. I think its VERY nasty. I think the parents are terribly wrong in their choice but it is their choice. Im sure you have done things or thought about doing things that others disagree with, do not approve of and you have done them anyway. We just must remeber that it is not our life and we should not tell others what is right or wrong if they are fully functioning adults that are making the decision.

You may not like how others live their lives.. but if they chose to allow their retarded daughter to marry a retarded man and have a retarded child so be it.
